I think I liked Avengers: Age of Ultron a little bit more than The Avengers, and that was probably mostly due to the presence of Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the sequel (and the absence of a certain character who I wasn’t fond of). I really grew to like Wanda's character over the course of the film - which was quite the feat, considering she and her brother started off the film being against the Avengers.
I really thought they should’ve gone to the film’s title off of Elizabeth Olsen’s creepy smile she gave as Wanda at the start – as I thought that would’ve given a decent sense of ‘foreboding’. I just thought it was so effectively unnerving...but, no, they went with Stark and Loki’s staff instead.
I really liked the sibling relationship between the Maximoffs, and their dynamics with Hawkeye. I even enjoyed his pep talk with Wanda – especially since it led to one of my favourite moments from the movie.
Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger are my two favourite MCU movies thus far, so naturally the parts I enjoyed most in Age of Ultron were with Cap, Thor, as well as Wanda and Natasha. When these characters were interacting with the other characters, I was able to enjoy the movie more.
I get why some people wouldn’t have liked him, but I didn’t really have a problem with Ultron as the villain. Not even the Bruce/Natasha pairing bothered me really. Though there was some stuff I wasn't too fond of in the movie - mainly just things like focusing on certain characters who I'm not a fan of and the fact that I felt Thor was given short shrift in the first film, and this second movie wasn’t much better with its treatment of him (at least in my view).
I guess if I had to explain why I like AoU better than the first movie, it’d simply be because there was more stuff in it that I liked than didn’t like (though I did enjoy The Avengers a fair amount...just maybe not as much as a lot of people did).
Since the two Avengers movies (plus Civil War) have so many main characters, my enjoyment of them is bound to be affected due to the fact that some characters I don’t like are getting focus. The screentime spent on them make those scenes of the movie less interesting for me to watch. It just becomes about how much screentime is given to the characters who I *do* like, versus how much is given to those I don’t care for.
