The more I think the more I wonder

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2019)

I've seen the movie twice now and I do love the movie. It's starts slow but works.
Do I care that they use time travel? No. The movie showed how they tried first, then fail and come to time travel. It's fine and it works. I do love this movie and the humour. Nothing will take away from the epic finale and how good it was to see some characters from other movies as supporting acts come back. It's a gorgeous movie. It's an amazing watch. The end of an era and at some points highly disappointing.
Fat Thor - insanely overused. After returning Thor to an epic character in Ragnarok I feel like the character has been utterly destroyed. Chris Hemsworth has incredible comic timing but he's now gone from the god of thunder to an absolute buffoon. Far too much of this movie was spent fat shaming Thor. It was a shame to see a character that was given such an amazing story become a poor joke.
Thanos - How did it happen that Thanos, without the gauntlet, got to the point where he could take out all the Avengers with severe ease when with all but 2 stones missing in IW he was nearly defeated by GOTG which contains no real "superheroes", Spider-Man, Ironman and Dr Strange. Not only that but they were only trying to take the glove too. Thanos feels like he's stronger without the stones. This doesn't make much sense. He makes light work of Ironman, Cap and Thor, when Thor and Cap had Stormbreaker and MjÃ¶lnir.
Professor Hulk - massively underused. Became another comedic element and little else.
She's got us - the women of marvel come together because...why? This was purely to tick a box and it irritated the hell out of me. They did it in IW and reused the same stuff. We have diversity in the MCU. We don't need to have it rammed down our throats that "women are powerful", have you seen Captain Marvel? Scarlet Witch?? Black Widow??? They're all kick-ass. We don't need a spice girls moment to push the point.
I feel like the film should have been 3hrs long. I respect that they did that. However I think that some of the scenes were unnecessary. The overly long hulk and ant man selfie conversation, fortnight product placement. Scenes like this should have been filled with more story, more necessary information.
The end of the movie should have been more somber. To have a scene with Thor becoming the joke in "Asguardiens of the Galaxy" just after Tonys death was just plan daft. You've just lost 3 long standing characters in the MCU and you brush over that with jokes. People have grown up with these characters. There's an emotional bond, don't take away from their deaths by poorly times jokes. Let people feel the gravity of the situation.
Does this all mean I hate the movie? Not in the slightest. I love it. I love it 3000. Because this is the end of an 11 year journey. I love the story, I love the music and how epic it all was. I just believe they could have made it more. The Russo's have the skill so I don't know why they didn't. But even so this movie is a once in a lifetime. Go see it at the cinema. They deserve the money because even with the flaws, this is a brilliant movie.
