Went in with high expectations and came out disappointed
Thanos was 10/10, I really dug his side of story, and Brolin brought him to life perfectly. The end too was a real jaw dropper.
Everything else though felt like a side quest. Like 90% of this film is held together by most of its cast, because the narrative was all padding until the end
I enjoyed most of the character interactions, even though this film had the same huge TLJ/AoU quip overload that cause many scenes to have tonal whiplash. The only weak link would be Banner.
I really dug him in Thor 3 because that was a comedy, but here he's just embarrassing. Kinda feel bad for Ruffalo.
It was also a huge bummer at how BP and Cap, my two favorite characters had a total of maybe five lines each.
I was mostly disappointed in how weak the action was. There's a few standout moments, all involving a certain character, but the rest fell flat. This is a Snyder BvS to JL level downgrade. It seems even the Russos have trouble with these larger scale encounters
Special shout-out to how terrible Thanos' crew were. Poor CG and terribly ineffective.
I'm curious to know how reactions to this will be once the honeymoon period wears off. Every MCU flick from the past two flicks was light years ahead of IW
