Messy conclusion

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2019)

Initially I was pretty impressed by this movie. Great effects, time travel aspect of it seemed interesting, the deaths of many important characters was a nice touch. So I went to see it again, and boy, is it painful when you look at it with a bit of critical eye :P
First of all, the pacing is all over the place. First part (let's call it 'grief chapter') is just... boring. Then we get the 'mumbo jumbo time travel chapter' when they figure out the way of building time machine to go back in time (it's the part when at first I was like 'suspend your belief and enjoy the ride', but you just can't ignore glaring holes in not only plot, but also logic on a most basic level). Then we have an epic battle with some cool moments (Cap+Mjolnir) and then back to boring grief again.
Thanos feels like completely dfferent being. He's way stronger and less interesting. Time travel stuff was a mess, not only because of the paradoxes it presented but also on a most basic causality level. Hawkeye got way too much screentime. Weird Hulk felt like a cop out, Thor was turned into a joke. Captain Marvel was not present throuought the movie, she appeared for couple of minutes, kicking absolute crap of everybody.
All in all, this movie is just a nice fan service. People wanted to see Cap happy, there you go. The person who started it all - Iron Man, also ended it with the bang, splendid. Asgardians of the Galaxy? Yay. You can't deny though that taking all of the other things into consideration (plotholes, time travel issues, continuity problems, pretty uneven ensemble of heores), we got a movie that's just messy.
