Disappointing mess

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2019)

First off what is it with Disney making everything so generic and bland. Sorry but you have a franchise so big with so many characters that "vanished" and what do you do with them... well not to give it away but Cher's song comes to mind, why because that's the only thing you can do silly! The only problem with it is it takes the non vanished ones like 45 minutes to figure this out. The rest of the movie is spend getting the stones with of course the epic battle in the end. I don't have a problem with this as it is a typical big budget movie that will probably break even more records through the course of time, or at least until the next big movie comes up in this crowded theaters. What I liked was the part of Thanos and his daughters, yes it slowed the pacing down a dat but it was emotional and meaningful. I also liked the humor, except for the Hulk being half Banner and half Hulk... it's like the executive is ok just throwing out what it means to be these various characters. The ending was also sad saying goodbye to some of the characters... some died others passed the torch to other ones which is where I have a problem. Sorry but for some it's regrettable to have a character be replaced since they really didn't need to (Captain America living a full life only to return a old man and passing the torch... with more of those red viles needed to turn back time couldn't he just go back in time again and remain CA?) all I can think of why they would do this is for being PC and/or to save Disney 20 million bucks a picture. There were other PC moments in the film, like in the epic battle there has to be a girl power moment out of the blue and it goes nowhere ... once again it's fine just too obvious. It's not a bad movie but also not worth the universal praise it is receiving either. I like the marvel movies and this one is no exception. The story just needed a bit more than turning back time and finding the stones. There are a lot of what happens next in the next films and I hope they do other things with Marvel post Stan Lee.
