Fun Movie Despite Repetitive Plot

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2018)

I really enjoyed this film. It's biggest weakness was its repetitive plot, but its character interactions were pure joy and the way Thanos was developed as a character was a delight.
PROS:
Great character interactions. Seeing these heroes from diverse properties finally meet and interact in such interesting ways was really satisfying.
Well developed bad guy. Thanos is interesting and compelling as an antagonist with understandable motivations.
Genuinely funny and organic humor. The jokes were not forced and were often derived from character development, not one-liners. I laughed out loud on several occasions.
CONS:
Repetitive main plot. Instead of building and thickening throughout the film, the plot was a series of redundant scenes where Thanos tries to get a stone and the heroes try to stop him.
Less engaging action sequences. There were a few good fight scenes, but some, like the "climactic" battle in Wakanda, were a bit underwhelming.
