Well made ending of an era but the execution was lazy

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2019)

First of all, from a critics perspective, the movie had everything to be a complete success. The visuals were amazing, the soundtrack was a perfect underline to every scene and the plot contained several unexpected twists. However, the movie just didn't do it for me personally.
Before I start complaining, I went in that movie with high expactations, due to it being the grand finale to an 11 years ongoing era, but was open for everything to happen.
Except for just enough things that made me feel like it wasn't the finale I wished to see.
Starting with the attack on Thanos in the first part of the movie. It was too fast and too easy to be the follow up of Infinity War. Thanos killed our beloved characters but the revenge for it just wasn't satisfiying and felt like they want to get rid of him as fast as possible just to bring his former conquerer self on screen to have a villain to fight.
It was surprising, but it wasn't a good surprise.
Second, the humour felt kinda off. Don't get me wrong, the jokes were great and I laughed at some of them, but often they were misplaced. For such a serious situation, there were to many jokes.
Fat Thor was hilarious, but I would have liked this in the probably upcoming Asguardians of the galaxy movie, where they just chill in space and get fat, but not in the finale of an era.
The solution for defeating Thanos, undo the snap and what they had to do for it were just to easy. I never had the feeling, that they were risking something. For every problem, there was a fast solution. There wasn't a moment where the stakes were high. It felt like "yeah just do it".
Additionally, I think the Russo brothers went full safe mode with the happenings. Everything the fans wanted to see was in it. Wich sounds great, but there wasn't any real surprise. It felt like I knew exactly what will happen next and how the movie ends (just a note here: I tried to avoid any trailers or theories, so I went in that movie only with my own thoughts about it). It was indeed a good storyline, but way to predictable.
Also, the movie was slow paced, but the important scenes, for example the comeback of all characters at the final battle, did not have enough time to breathe. There was so much happening at that battle, that every reunion was so fast and rushed. More time for it would have made it more emotional.
These are just a few things that bothered me. Nevertheless there are a lot of good things as well.
The movie took its time to have as much of a goodbye to the characters as possible.
The chemistry between the characters was on point.
The timetravels to the old movies were a great recap of what happened.
Tony's death and the funeral were emotional as hell.
Overall, the movie just isn't the worthy finale for an unbelievebly well made cinematic universe. It did everything to be a good ending but lacked the surprises as a consequence. It is a must watch for fans, but as a movie itself it is by far not as good as Infinity War.
