I 100% agree. Iron Man 1, Winter Soldier and GotG are probably tied for my favourite MCU movie, followed by Incredible Hulk (which I liked a lot more than most), Avengers 2, Thor, Avengers. Then Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Captain America and Thor 2 are on the weaker end of the spectrum, still enjoyable though.
Ultron was amazing and the chemistry and action is what the MCU and Wheadon specializes at and what they've now mastered. Also when they used the darker tone it really worked and added stakes to the movie. They developed the characters further so it didn't just feel like an Iron Man featuring the Avengers movie. Hawkeye was the best Avenger. There was some pacing problems and it was too similar to the first one. Also a couple plot lines were rushed and a couple times it felt like they were pushing too hard to set up future movies when the plot didn't lend itself to it.
I'd give Age of Ultron a 7.8/10, I was hoping for something more like Winter Soldier but we got the first Avengers movie again
