Did I see a different movie to most people?

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2018)

I just don't get the rave reviews for Infinity War.
Yes, the action is great. Yes, the special effects are great.
Yes, there's a pretty good balance between most of the different characters; and seeing some of our favourite characters meet up with some of our other favourites was also great.
I just can't understand people raving about the ending...
*** SPOILER REMINDER ***
Given that we know there are a few more films in the pipeline- Spidey and Guardians to name just two, to have those main characters killed off was pointless because we know that they are going to have to be resurrected in Infinity War 2 (before the new stand alone character films are released).
However they do this, (time reversal or diving into the soul stone or whatever), it simply means that characters are going to be resurrected. For all we know they all will be, and Thanos will seem like an insignificant blip on the radar because everything he did possibly gets undone. It was so jarring because I didn't believe it for a second that the 'deaths' were real (ie. Black Panther, Spidey and the Guardians). I knew they had to be resurrected.
It just killed the tension, it killed the atmosphere- I mean why should I cry for Parker when I KNOW he's coming back? By the time the end credits stinger rolled around and more deaths occurred, I was snarling contemptuously at the screen. I was so bitterly disappointed. It honestly (and I mean this wholeheartedly) feels like the last Twilight film- there's a super cool battle that essentially is just a dream- it never really happened. It's the same plot device and I am stunned to hear people saying that the end of A:IW was heart wrenching. How gullible do people have to be?
Just so you know, I'm the kind of film viewer who doesn't critique everything while I'm watching a film. I like to just enjoy the experience, absorbed in the events unfolding before me. A:IW just didn't work at all, the writers bit off way more than we could chew!
I really want to rate it 2 stars because I'm so disappointed by the ending, but as I mentioned, there were a lot of really good things about the film.
