too much and yet so little

Rating: 5/10 (22 September 2018)

Inflationary overload of superpower special-effects when suddenly ECERYBODY in the whole film is a superhero and there are no normal people left..!
There are also too many characters featured, giving each only a short stage appearance, so beyond a handful of witty jokes no real character development is possible and most actors become superficial support roles with no real function in the plot - just one more superhero crammed in there who's also there.
On top, the characters are almost all excessively powerful, way more than in past movies, so every scene becomes bigger and louder... and after a while just a boring sequence of mindless excesses - unrealistic even in the superhero world's setting, making it dull.
The only surprise to an otherwise bland film is the shock ending where the bad guy wins and kills half the universe and half of the superhero cast. (you almost feel grateful to him for cutting the inflated number of superheroes i half!)
On a positive note, the special effects are great including Thanos' animation and expressive facial features.
All-in, alas, not a film worth watching.
