The plot was really rushed, and it would have at least been nice to see Tony and Bruce discussing the Ultron project in one of the previous movies, so it didn't come so completely out of left field. But, it was still an enjoyable story.

I liked that Natasha and Bruce became the official couple. Much better than pairing her with one of the more stereotypical male leads. I also like that they're diversifying the Avengers team immensely for future movies. Vision I'm rather meh about—he worked as an adversary to Ultron, but I can't really see him doing much from this point. He's so inhuman, it feels rather dull. I like all the other new Avengers, though.

BUT

They are missing an obvious one, and it legitimately makes me angry that they passed up the opportunity! Iron Man 3 gave them the perfect chance to leave Pepper Potts with permanent super-powers from her Extremis exposure. We already saw from Boring White Bad Guy Whose Name I Can't Be Bothered to Look Up that it was possible to safely control the Extremis heat powers, and didn't they flat-out say Tony had come up with an equation to stabilize the formula? It would have been a fantastic opportunity to elevate one of the designated love interests into a more active role.

I think, in my head canon, Pepper still has her powers, and is just too cool to hang out with the Avengers. *pout*
