I'm sure Flash could easily have pushed a few bullets out of the way too if he were in Quicksilver's situation. It's a bit different from being in the middle of a battle with flying aliens shooting lasers and some huge God like being.
So they chose to not make Ultron immediately some all powerful villain. It isn't like he hasn't done this "Upgrade to a stronger form" thing in the comics a lot.
They probably should have done that though. That is what he is known for, being such a force that he's an intimidating figure even against the whole Avengers. They ruined that by starting off with a weak version of him and we already saw him get beaten easily in the movie by Iron Man and then and trouble with Captain America.
It undermined him going into the final battle. Hopefully a mistake they won't make with Thanks and he will show his dominance from the beginning.
Well, that's what I mean by Marvel not being dumb enough to stupidly overpower their heroes to the point there's no point caring about them (WW, Flash, Quicksilver, Superman). Cap gets beat on but STILL comes off a good enough character we care just as much for what he does outside the fighting and the character interactions as he does inside the fight.
They've done the opposite with Captain America in the Avengers movies by making him look too weak and useless. He's still a good character but in the action scenes Hawkeye has been more valuable than Captain America has.
You're also misusing the overpowered label. Wonder Woman, Quicksilver, Flash and Superman have all been outmatched in the movies so they aren't overpowered. They're powerful but as long as there's been other characters who can match them or outmatch them then they aren't overpowered.
