Avengers: AoU is more of a divergent film to start Phase III. They spent an inordinate amount of time trying to phase out the original line up, introduce new members and drop hints for upcoming movies that the Ultron story-line was IMO pointless.
Not sure about all your statements but...
Ultron in the commercials felt way more sinister than the version I actually saw in the movie. He wasn't "Evillll (Dr. Evil voice over)" enough. I don't mind the cast expanding... but considering Ant Man, Wasp( I believe that was her name), and Black Panther being no shows? Especially when Thor has a new one coming and they have yet to figure out how to do Hulk "right."

November Man / NF
--Not a bad Brosnon in James Bond mode spy thriller. I did like some of the tie ins they made happen even though I felt some of the Russian guy's motives could have been brought to light better.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For / BR
--had everything the first Sin City had except the heart/"the thing."
You Only Live Twice / dvd
--Great bond movie IMO. Really liked how he went Japanese to catch the villain.
The World Is Not Enough / dvd
--One of Brosnon's better Bonds. I wish they hadn't of made Denise Richard's character so ..... yeah.
Days of Thunder/ BR
--A pretty decent NASCAR flick. I kind of wished they had done more with Cruise learning the car lingo as it were.
Talladega Nights/ dvd
--one of my all time favorite comedies.
