Unsatisfying

Rating: 7/10 (27 April 2019)

I knew things would get messed up as soon as they went time-travel.
Now I'm going to spend more time trying to figure out all the time travel goof ups they ignored and being disappointed at the conclusions you end up coming to
Conclusions:
There are now 3 separate times lines:
One where Thanos succeeds and everyone is still in shock trying to recover and canon still holds and our heroes are left grieving and torn apart.
Another where Thanos dies and doesn't succeed and things go forward from canon.
And a third where Thanos dies, never exists, neither do Gamora and Nebula as we know them, Captain America never comes in to the 21st century, Avengers never happen and canon is totally obliterated.
But everyone remembers, which is also a time travel goof up.
And I'm sure I can come up with a bunch more, if I keep thinking about it.
Disappointing to say the least.
I never watched any of the Iron Man movies because an Avengers movie was just enough of exposure of his character to suit me. An entire movie series of just him would have me trying to blind and deafen myself. So I never watched them. That lack made me not even tear up at his sacrifice.
To all those who wonder how Cap could wield the Hammer? We got the hint he could do it way back in Avengers: Age of Ultron. During the party, they were all doing the "Are you worthy?" game and took turns trying to lift the hammer.
Thor and the audience saw the hammer move when Cap "tried" to lift it. Rumor was back then, he could move it, but chose to not reveal it. Rumor proved true.
The ending battle, while epic, was, after a awhile, like watching a very ornate video game. Unlike the massive Infinity War battle, done in bright sunlight where the actors were very evident, this was done in a dark setting and at most, you saw a few seconds of the real actor before being replaced by CGI for most of the rest of the action. Disappointing. I didn't want to see a big video game.
The stealing of the stones to resolve the whole issue was also lame. Why didn't they do this in Infinity Wars? Instead of trying to steal the whole gauntlet, why not just take the stones? Or even a few of them?
You could see the Russo's trying to satisfy fan questions from the last movie:
Why didn't they just cut off Thanos' arm? They did it here.
Why didn't Thor go for the head ? He does here.
Also disappointing was Steve offering the shield to Wilson instead of Bucky.
Stan Lee's cameo came and went so fast I didn't know it was him.
All in all, for me, a anti-climatic end for the series, ending with a whimper instead of a bang. As far as the Marvel series goes, this isn't one of its best and that's sad for the last one.
