The hardest choices require the strongest wills.

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2020)

Despite Avengers being a Marvel commercialism and attempting to unite all these characters into a cohesive narrative, the movie does a good job of integrating them in a way that it does not feel forced or expendable. They all have their little cameo and do not have excessive presence that creates random and out of place scenes. I mean it somewhat does, but it is bearable. What makes this movie stand out above all superhero movies - except the Nolan's Batman Trilogy - is the deep meaning and implications of the clash of ideologies between Thanos and the Avengers.
Thanos follows a narrative of a redeemer, a godly presence, coming to restore order in the universe. He is not a sadist; he even feels burdened by this purpose. At a certain instance he confesses: "I ignored my destiny once, I cannot do that again". He is one of the most humane villains I have seen in any movie. He is willing to risk everything to get the six infinity stones and reduce as much as possible the suffering of people by just snapping his fingers and disintegrating everyone. Simply Thanos wants to maximize the pleasure of all living beings by reducing population and providing everyone the resources for a happy existence, instead of what he perceives a chaotic and damaging organization of living beings.
The dialogue is adequate: The avengers are continually given a chance to demonstrate their uniqueness and role. The directors gave them dialogue to express their idiosyncrasies and personality, and it was entertaining to watch the usual quips and jests by Iron Man or the Guardians of the Galaxy. Even though the movie was two hours and thirty minutes the movie never felt dull, and the inclusion of new scenes always had a purpose in the major plot. Maybe the movie had too many action scenes for my personal preference, but maybe I am asking too much from a Marvel film.
Thanos achieving his goal the way he did was definitely a surprise, and I feel like I don't get surprised that often in films, so Kudos to the Directors for raising the tension repeatedly, and instead of, like in most movies, the superheroes achieving their goal we had a very spiritual, multi-faceted villain that accomplished his goal. I have to say that Thanos continually justified being a worthy villain to face all the avengers.
