Underwhelming for MCU Conclusion

Rating: 5/10 (26 April 2019)

I was so excited for this movie just like so many others, but I was seriously underwhelmed throughout. People said there was a single 4 minute lull in the middle of the movie, however, it felt like a good majority of the movie was nothing but lulls and filler. I really hoped for this movie to be so good, but by the end I was left scratching my head. It was so disappointing, especially for a Marvel movie, and I felt very let down by the series that I've grown up with. There are many unresolved plot holes throughout the whole movie that leaves me wondering how it made it to production with plot holes and mistakes this bad. I believe there was lots of lousy, careless writing and production on account of the production team resting on their laurels of being Marvel and the hype of the movie. On top of all these mistakes, there were definitely points of politicizing gender bias at points where it didn't make sense to put it. Honestly, that was totally unnecessary and highly detracting from the already poorly made movie. I was also disappointed by the use, or better stated misuse, of characters, such as Captain Marvel. For all the hype that was brought up about her, I misunderstood all of it. I never saw her movie, and told it was unnecessary for the avengers timeline. After watching, it was correct. She was used in only two points as a deus ex machina and nothing else. Using a character, especially as powerful as she was for nothing but a deus ex machina is a very amateurish level of writing. It could've been so much better for an ending to the MCU story, but I was so let dow and keep wishing it were better.
