Great ending- with reservations

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2019)

Spoilers!!
There is so much to love about this movie. I chuckled, I cried (more than once) and I gripped my seat. I cheered.
While I am completely satisfied in some respects, there are a few things so "off" that I can't for the life of me understand what they were thinking, in the decisions.the main reasons I took off two points- and it was almost three:
Thor. They completely ruined him, for NO reason. It is not accurate to his history in the comics or even their own movies. Nothing about the "God of Thunder" should or could have led to the hot mess they portrayed him as for the bulk of the film. The comic relief I suppose they were trying for was both grossly unfair and unnecessary- to the character and the movie and the fans. Marvel, do better.
Captain America. While the ending got him was sweet I suppose and satisfying in some respects, are we conveniently supposed to dismiss and forget the family Peggy Carter has before he changed that timeline? People that his decision would have erased? They showed him as very aged. According to all that's been said of his powers, he ages so incredibly slowly that he would still be young, watching people around him get old. We are led to believe he "got a life" one, not many- with Peggy Carter. And he's now old? How?
Nebula- she killed the past version of her. How does that possibly work? Wouldn't that delete HER, forever?
I could go into Black Widow and Tony (why?? Again not accurate to the comics and not who could and should have done it- ok yes, dramatic story ending and all but...)- but the other points were the more bothersome to me.
All of this said- the movie is beautifully shot, cinematically fabulous, wonderfully acted. It wore me out in a good way, and any Marvel fan of any of these beloved heroes needs to see it. Just be prepared for some parts that keep it from being the absolute masterpiece it could have been.
