Of course....
-Joss Whedon...from reading reviews and interviews, I can definitely see just how taxing, exhausting, and wearying making this movie must have been. Not just merely juggling the parts of the plot, the characterization, moving story, but there is also the fame (of the actors), pushing the roles that need to be pushed, highlighting and spot-lighting of people-all that happens before set and action design and cgi! I bet this thing hits close to 1.75 billion world wide. The craft of this movie is just insane
-The action-great, awesome, fun, deserving.
-Just fun; did I mention that? The movie clocks in at 2 h 22 min, but at this point, since you are so familiar with all and everyone, it's just pure dessert to spend so much time with a concept you love so much.
-Spader's Ultron is awesome. Nuff said.
-Vision!!! I gots to go reread me some Avengers West Coast trades from my library. Oh, and bemoan the loss of this current character from current Avengers lexicon and actions.

In relating to future movies:
ON this :
I laugh at this sardonically:
No...just a great experience; I loved to see it. I loved the care that went into; the thought to make a good heroic movie (that just happens to be about comics). It honors the source, it isn't ashamed of it, and brings out the best of it for all to see.
People. Will. Come.
Honor the source; embrace it, cherish it. Realize that they've been around for 3-5 generations because something about them matters. (Okay yes I'm yelling at Warner Bros right now). It's not broke; nothing needs to be fixed.
If you do this....people from all walks of life and ages will respond. Most heartily. I can't tell you how many kids and adults were wearing super hero tees at the theater. So very cool. Even my wife yells at me "What did you DO to me?!" as she discusses in earnest the characters, where they were seen before in movies and comics, and asks expectantly about what to look forward to.
Can't wait for my second viewing.
