3. Vision Proves His Worth
In this age of tweets, teasers, trailers and TV spots, it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid finding out more about a movie than youd care to ahead of its release. This is true enough of Age Of Ultron, but Marvel held back on one character in particular for an impressive amount of time. The Visions presence in the Avengers sequel was announced well over a year ago, but until very recently a glimpse on a poster was about as good a look as the public was given. Even now, theres all of 20 seconds of the Vision available to view online, and that clip courtesy of a BBC show that aired less than a week ago. As youd expect, the Vision is a crucial secret weapon in the battle against Ultron, and Paul Bettanys gentle performance imbues the character with quiet grace. That is, apart from a brief moment, mere seconds after his birth when he impulsively attacks Thor before quickly coming to his senses. Vision is also responsible for the films biggest surprise when he nonchalantly hands Mjolnir to Thor in a classy callback to the party at Stark Tower. The look on Thors face and everyone elses, for that matter is truly priceless.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
