Great film but...

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2018)

I really enjoyed this film, the acting was spot on, the CG effects were pretty good, but could have been better in places... The fact that Joss Whedon wasn't attached makes it all the better... But the story could have gone in a much different direction if the protagonists had used a little common sense.
SPOILERS BELOW!
There's the point in the film where Iron man, Dr. Strange, Spiderman, Starlord, Draco, Mantis, etc... Have Thanos subdued and are attempting to pull his gauntlet off... Surely if Thanos was that big of a threat.... could they not have just killed him there and then? We know the Avengers, guardians of the Galaxy etc aren't above killing to save the world, so why would they not kill him to save the whole universe? Surely that should have been one of the 14,000,605 possible futures that Strange saw right?
How did Thanos know the mind stone was in Wakanda? No one told him it was there, the place is hidden from the world, and he obviously doesn't have an innate ability to locate them otherwise he would have easily known where the soul stone was.
And how is it that the magical gauntlet managed to kill all of the heroes EXCEPT those that were in the ORIGINAL Avengers movie?
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the movie, but a lot of it seems awfully contrived just so they could make a sequel, when, in fact, it could have all been so easily resolved with just a bit of common sense.
