The Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.
I can't help but feel that this movie was oversold. This is not what the last ten years have been building to! This is clearly just part one of two; we still have to wait another year for the real payoff.
I hated how the Russos filmed their action scenes in the Captain America sequels, but I'm happy to report that this time they learned their lesson. :-) The camerawork here is always effective: I could clearly see what was happening at all times. The action scenes themselves are as creative and thrilling as ever; I loved watching the various powers clash.
I like their solution to the issue of having so many players: the cast is divided into groups, each with their own agenda. The movie did feel kind of hollow, though, as the size of the cast left very little room for character development. As a result, they felt more like chess pieces than actual characters.
What sets this movie apart from all the rest, though, is the ending. I won't spoil it, obviously, but I will say it's a marvellous cliffhanger, and it gives me hope that this movie will improve in hindsight when Avengers 4 comes out.
As of right now, my impression is: while still good, it's far from my favourite MCU film.
