Overratted

Rating: 4/10 (15 May 2018)

I saw this film the Thursday it came out and I wanted to see if what everyone was saying was true and it wasn't. I'm gonna go through the thing I thought were good and bad.
Good:
#1 CGI, visuals
The CGI in this film was really, really good. aside from a couple shots of Thanos the CGI was basically perfect. The CGI on Thanos made him look like an actual big purple man. Even getting little facial expressions and markings on his face that other company's wouldn't care to put the detail in for. The visuals in the film made everything look really interesting and gave the film some eye candy all throughout.
#2 Thanos
I would still say Loki from the first Avengers was better than Thanos but damn Thanos in this film was relentless and intimidating. Though I didn't care for his motivation, he was much better than Ultron mainly because Thanos never spit out any dumb and painfully unfunny humor.
#3 Characters (I liked) and character interactions
The only characters in the film I liked were: Iron Man, Hulk (or more appropriately Bruce Banner ) , Spider-man, Doctor Strange, Thor, and Thanos. I've already talked about Thanos so I'll talk about the others. The Interactions between Peter, Tony, and Strange were probably one of the best parts of the movie. They were actually kind of funny and were really entertaining. Thor's interactions between the Guardians were good. I didn't find it funny but it was entertaining.
#4 Action
The action was really entertaining and fun. It was creative and done really well. and of course it looked great. There was only one shot of shaky cam and it such a bad shot I literally couldn't see anything.
Bad Things
#1 Pacing
The pacing in the first act wasn't very good. every time it cut to a new group of people the film was just frantically trying to catch up with itself. It gets better in the second and third but but every time it cut to the Guardians the film just came to a grinding halt.
#2 Humor
Humor is subjective, I know that. but the humor in the film was painfully unfunny and it wasn't made all that better by the crowd laughing every ten seconds in the theater.
#3 Character deaths and other characters
All the other characters I didn't care for mainly because they either did one thing or nothing. I get that a film with this big of a cast can't include everyone, but damn, to many characters did nothing, they were kind of just their. It's not all the better by the fact that most of the characters that died were characters that did nothing. All the original Avengers were left alive, and I feel like it would've been better if they killed at least one or two of them. the character deaths also weren't that heartbreaking or sad. Some just died and the Film moved on. The only death I cared for was Spider-Man cause he actually had a scene that was at least a little bit sad.
#4 Romances
The romances were just terrible. Wanda and Visions romance was just extremely awkward that was also accompanied with terrible dialogue. The romance between Bruce and Black Widow came back for one or two lines of dialogue and it's literally never acknowledged again.
#5 Gamora's death.
This has a section of it's own because of how horribly obvious it was. It actually amazes me that people were surprised that she died. after she said a line to Star-Lord about killing her if Thanos catches her I instantly knew that she was going to die. and what do you know she died about 30 minutes later. I personally feel it would've been more effective if she started begging Peter to kill her when she actually got captured.
#6 Star-Lord
His entire character was ruined for me. At a point in the film when Thanos is pinned down and they almost have the infinity gauntlet off him and Peter decides to hit Thanos in the face waking him up and thus dooming half the universe. It felt extremely out of character and I thought it would've been better if Drax did it. Thanos did destroy his planet and his family so shouldn't he do it. He is more of a loose canon and Peter is more logical. You might say he didn't attack him because he knew it was a bad idea and he didn't attack him earlier. But that's because Thanos had his guard up and would've easily destroyed him. So, Star- Lord killed everybody.
#7 Wanda (Scarlet Witch)
For my last section I would like to talk about Wanda. She could've easily defeated Thanos because of how powerful she is. There's a point on the Wakanda battlefield where five giant rolling saws are released and she comes out and destroys them instantly. And if she has the power to destroy an infinity stone she should be in battle killing everything.
In conclusion this film is massively overrated and shouldn't be the 15th best film of all time according to Imdb. This is a 4/10.
