Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron - TRAILER #3 REACTION

"Is that the best you can do?!"
"You had to ask..."
As April 23rd approaches, Marvel Studios have released a third and probably final trailer for the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The trailer begins with yet another Ultron monologue, seeming to be talking to Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver - "I was designed to save the world. People could look up in the sky and see hope. I'll take that from them first" - showing just how psychotic and formidable Ultron is, but also just how great a writer Joss Whedon is. Despite this being Number 100001 Ultron speech, it still sends shivers down your spine and still feels fresh somehow. James Spader will make a terrific villain for Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye to fight.
As the trailer continues, we see some great action shots, some of which are repeated from the last two trailers, but still with enough teasing in there as well. The shot of Bruce and Natasha together practically confirms the rumored romance between the two - something I'm rather skeptical about with the film, but we'll see. Perhaps it will work, but from Avengers Assemble I can't quite see the two as a couple. Prove me wrong Whedon, prove me wrong.
With this being just under two months until the cinema release, we also get a lot more CGI - the thousands of Ultron drones swarming at their leader's signal, an extended shot of Black Widow dropped from the Quinjet, more teases for Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver, Ultron pulling out what looks like a charger cable from his neck, Cap going toe-to-toe with Ultron and the massive fight with the Avengers versus the thousands of Ultron drones. Hulk is clearly having a bad day in that scene.
We also get a great shot of the Hulk smashing his way up a building fighting the Hulkbuster, which looks great but please no more Hulk vs Hulkbuster - I want the fight to not seem to familiar in the film, like the action in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The humour is also there, along with Nick Fury making dramatic speeches.
At the end though, we get our first look at Vision (possibly a humanoid Jarvis?) played by Paul Bettany. The CGI still looks a little off, but I'm sure it'll be polished off in the finished film, as with the rest of the film's astounding Visual FX.
Nothing too much has been revealed, but its safe to say I'm pretty hyped for Age of Ultron. Could too many characters spoil the broth? Could the promise of sequels (including the much-anticipated Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War parts 1 and 2) ruin the tension? We'll find out on April 23rd...
