Avengers AoU spoiler thoughts (with some actual spoilers)

It was interesting (and I'm sure, completely in line with the comics) that Stark and Banner built Ultron. A bit weird that somehow Loki's sceptre had the code to do it AND had the infinity gem. It basically meant that Ultron's code was based on what might have been an Asgardian defense system.

It was also weird how they were talking like Ultron would be great and good. They learned quickly, but the audience already knew, so it was strange and took me out of the movie a bit.

Ultron coming online, however, was done quite well and quite in line with how the Singularity is often discussed.

The forty-five minutes of robot smashing was smashy and had some good bits (the slow-motion bit in the church in particular was pretty decent in 3D, and Hawkeye's talk was great), but overall just seemed like a slog. Like a video game where the number of bad guys increases rather than their difficulty.

And they just left that one half-smashed robot right next to the device. So the whole slog wasn't even worth it.
