The more time passes, the worse this movie becomes. 6.9/10

Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2019)

When i left the cinema after my first inital watch, i was blown away. I had some minor gripes and flaws, but was very content with what i had seen. Probably a solid 8.5/10 at the time. Months later i have had time to dwell on the movie and craft my own opinion and well, it's very messy.
It's not bad, but the more you think about it's flaws the clearer they become.
For a start, the pacing suffers, mainly in the 2nd act. Some scenes feel pointless, unneccessary and slugish.
Another thing that i absolutely hated in this movie was multiple chatacter arcs including Black widow and Captain Marvel especially.
Black widows Character arc felt extremely rushed and forced. I wont spoil much, but i thought it was handled poorly. The character of Captain Marvel also felt extremely thrown in.
Perhaps the messiest part of the movie was the Time Travel. I wont go into detail, but it was all over the place and the characters go agains the rules of time travel multiple times.
Finally, there was a lot in the last act that did not make much sense. I again wont go into detail, but multiple scenes felt forced and Thanos' character felt off as the directors have tried to portray him in a more sinister light, which doesnt work because it completely forgets his personality in Infinity War.
Overall, this is not a bad movie and there is lots to praise which i wont go into because its been said many times over. It just has extremely noticable flaws that grow larger and larger the more you think on it.
Avengers Endgame - 6.9/10
Avengers Infinty War - 8/10
