Too much hype, too little substance

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2019)

For a movie that was advertised as the ultimate ending to the 3rd phase of Marvel's superheroes, I was a bit disappointed. It took 1.5 hrs to actually get started, involved a lot of nonsensical crying and weak build-up to the real story. The action was quite engaging but when the wizards finally teleported everyone onto the battlefield, it was too confusing because you barely knew where anyone was in relation to everyone else. Too much SJW pandering, but what else do you expect from Disney and Marvel nowadays, quality content with serious issues being treated seriously?
I like the movie for what it truly was - the ending to a great saga. But let's not kid ourselves - this is a kids movie with tons of product placement. It had some great action, but the best one was the practical stunts and fight choreography, not the CGI moments in front of green screens. Could have been a full hour shorter and with less fake tear-jerking moments that actually had no true value other than they were fully forced upon viewers. Also, many of the emotional moments were ruined by stupid jokes, and the great jokes were sparse. I am glad it's over.
