I'm going to split my thoughts into two sections content and the trailer itself

The Trailer
The trailer was presented in that very formulaic style. Voice over with lots of cuts. The thing is the cuts are all very short and the voice over well... It is all very over done the singing child and the gruff villain voice. That format doesn't work for super hero movies. I was disappointed. Normally Marvel does a much better job in their trailer presentation.

I'm hoping that since this was just a teaser trailer that the next trailer will be better constructed. Also, I wonder if they put every dark and stark scene in the trailer. Also was impressed that the scenes that did have color seemed muted. I wonder if that was done for the trailer or if it is like that in the movie.

The content
Tony!!! I'm so happy to see him in his suit. but it got trashed thoroughly. And, his face when he was talking about how he started this all.

I wonder if that is him in the Hulkbuster and what his face looks like there. Having to fight your friend like that can't be good.

You also had Thor lifting Tony up by his neck. There was the ballerina scene which I wonder if it is a Natasha flashback.

And Bruce in those two scenes looked so traumatized.

We were promised more Clint and there was only one Clint scene in the trailer.

James Spader's voice is fantastic and the end shot of Ultron with his ominous quote is wonderfully creepy.

The quick cuts are frustrating but they do the job of hyping up the tension.

I'm trying to figure out who the female in the blue dress is standing next to Thor when Ultron crushes the broken suit's head - it doesn't look like Jane and it's not Maria because she's on the other side of the room I think. Any ideas?

Like the Hulk/Natasha moment when they touch fingertips but the broken shield breaks my heart!

I want more of the team speaking to each other and interacting - the only ones to speak were Ultron, Natasha and Tony if I remember rightly.

Poor Bruce, I just want to cuddle him.

I wonder what Steve's flashback at 1:31 is about? He's in a crowded dance hall in the 40s in his army uniform(?) by the look of it. Maybe it's tied in with Bucky somehow?

I've been at work and stuff and just got to see it now. And I LOVED IT! The voice-over and the cuts totally work for me. Maybe I'm a sucker, but it looks good to me. The feeling that there's a red thread, a full story, not the patchwork I was worried about, it strong here. It's actually given me hope for this movie!

And looking around it's a bit like i'm alone... so. uh. Anyone else like it...?

Oh god, the music. Of all the fantastic and creepy ways for Marvel to use their link with Disney.

I loved the trailer overall. I wanted MORE though. I think someone said they wanted more interaction between team members (that's what I wanted too) but we will get that later when the more intense trailers come out.

Oh and the scene where people are yelling at something (it is early on right after the scene of people racing around cars) it looks like they are angry not scared. I wonder if this is toward the end of the film.

I wonder if this is the aftermath, people angry at the Avengers blaming the superheroes for the devastation of Ultron leading Tony to agree that something has to be done to stop incidences like this and so we have a perfect set up for the start of Civil War in Cap3

For some reason, I thought Cap's shield was buried under dirt, not broken. It flashes by so quickly, it's hard to tell, but the shield's survived this much, it doesn't seem like it would snap so easily. And keep in mind this is "teaser trailer" whatever the hell that means to movie execs these days. Those tend to be more fragmented and disjointed than "trailer trailers."
