I may draw a LOT of "Whaaaaaat?"s, but I say "The Lego Movie", but let me explain. Yes, people have grown up with "Toy Story" since 1995, but people have grown up with Lego since 1940; it's a movie about toys in the purest form, and not to mention that it works fantastically for a movie that aims to get kids to buy Legos more than anything (heck, a lot of adults wanted to buy Legos after seeing it). It's not just one of my favorite animated films, but it's also one of my favorite comedy films: it's the funniest movie I've seen in a while, mainly because everyone can enjoy it like they can't with the funny, but too-many-in-quantity R-rated comedies.

Don't mistake me, "Toy Story" is among the BEST film series ever made, but starting the creation of computer animated films doesn't automatically mean that there can't be better ones, in my opinion.

*SPOILERS INSIDE*
1 - You bring Quicksilver in, just to kill him off? What? I get that in battle, heroes don't always win but, from a writing stand point that's terrible. You JUST brought him in!

2 - I never took Ultron seriously. Even when he got the Vibranium coating, he STILL got trashed, HARD. Every single fight he got beat up and his body demolished.

3 - Why didn't Ultron replicate himself through the internet? I mean when he traveled through the internet AFTER the Avengers party at Stark tower? During the fight, Vision grabbed him by the head and destroyed his ability to communicate through the net, but how come Ultron didn't do anything like that before the fight? The moment he touched the internet, the whole world literally would be his for the taking. Why would you set your only consciousness in a couple of droids?

4 - Where was this pool that Thor dipped himself into? How come there was no mention of it before? It just... appeared.

5 - Is it me, or was the dialogue really campy? Like, I get playful dialogue (the first Avengers had a few of them), but they threw in way too much of them in here. The Avengers trying to pick up Thor's hammer, that's an example of GREAT humor and pacing. But they really went overboard here (the Hawkeye about to shoot Quicksilver for calling him an old man scene, that felt really campy, especially the part where he was talking to himself while trying to keep up with Quicksilver).

6 - No Black Panther after credits reveal? You built this whole big deal up about Vibranium, but you never revealed the Black Panther at the end? That's like building a whole house from Lego's, and then before you can finish it, you decide to knock it down just for the hell of it.

Hell, it didn't even have to be T'Challa, if you're going for an origin story, show T'Chaka instead (T'Chaka is the father of T'Challa and the Black Panther before him).
