I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Let me start by welcoming everyone to Up All Night to Watch Movies.
I'm going to work hard to make this a credible reliable movie, and trailer review site.
To kick off the blog let's talk about this piece of work. I promise I'm not going to fan boy (too hard).

First off. We start with James Spader's menacing voice work for the titular Ultron. It's very reminiscent of the portrayal of Optimus Prime in the Michael Bay series by Peter Cullen. This sets us up right away for a seriously dark trailer, as an eerie and unsettling rendition of "No Strings On Me" plays throughout Spader's opening speech and the duration of the trailer.
 We cut to a scene of Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) in what appears to be a depressive state. What
on earth has The Incredible Hulk himself in shambles? We then launch to Ultron (Spader) monoloqueing and explaining the fault of man with  his description of the team as 
"Puppets on a string"

Following is a montage of scenes featuring the Avenger's and The Twins. Even Andy Serkis in what appears to be a non mo-cap role. 

We see a few apocalyptic images of the avengers beaten and finally Ultron himself. To end we hear one more shaking line from Spader.
"There Are No Strings On Me"

Beautifully chilling trailer. Marvel is playing this universe out with such thought that I see no foreseeable end to the money in my lifetime. The entire phase one starts in 2008 is built on each hero coming into his own and, ending with the Avengers in 2012, with the heroes banding together.
Phase two has played out significantly different and it's proving successful.
Each hero has had to square off on his own and now in Avengers 2 test their team. We have several scenes pitting the heroes against each other, and with no explanation until next year fans will be hard pressed to see all the footage they can.

Overall it was a well played trailer. Ultron is tearing them down to beat them, and pushing his humanity (a brilliantly oxymoron of writing genius straight from the books) . His whole stick in the comics was how he was a better life form than his creators and he's setting to prove it in this movie.
I'd give this trailer a 
10/10 for mood
8/10 for Comic Material
( There were a few things I could nit pick but I'm looking at this objectively.)
9/10 for Excitement.

The final question is will this team survive this trail?
