Really didn't like it at all. The movie was the epitome of unthreatening henchman movies, the whole thing with Ultron and Vision... wow did they ever mess things up. As the series goes on it gets less and less subtle. I watched Iron Man 1 again and it's night and day difference;
I'd explain it like an ambitious underdog taking a chance tries to make sure they don't violate any major logical storytelling rules and as Marvel has made more and more money this has changed and they no longer feel fallible. The sense of infallibility is palpable in the most recent Marvel movies. They think that mindless action, faceless drones interspersed with one liners from the Avengers is good enough. It's not. I probably won't see another Marvel movie until the finale and that'll be in my house, saying I'm disappointed in the movie is an understatement. It's changed my views on paying for movies in theaters.
