I agree with those saying the movie was disappointing. I still liked it, but I didn't love it or think it was the best superhero movie ever. That's because I didn't get what I wanted, however. If you didn't care that the Guardians and co didn't show up until very late in the film and aside from a few throwaway lines were just there for the fight scenes, then you wouldn't be disappointed.
As someone who wanted to see more of the once in a lifetime mega cast together hanging shit off each other and fighting together, though, I was disappointed the unsnapped didn't return earlier in the film. I know the Russo's would've had to change the plot to do that, but to see them maybe halfway through or 2/3's through was what I wanted. You had this one chance to do it, and it never happened. I know we got that in IW but I wanted more of that; to see Drax interacting with Hulk and so on would've been awesome.
I would've preferred if the Hulk sacrificed himself to bring back BW when he did the snap (if that was possible, maybe it's irreversible even if you have all six stones) so BW could be a sequel. I also would have preferred if it was impossible for Stark to do the snap, so the alternative would be for Captain Marvel to fly away with the stones and keep them from Thanos, while the rest had to defeat the army without snapping them away. Between that evil wizard guy and Thanos' other high ranking fighters, we could have seen some more epic fights.
Nebula dealing the killing blow to Thanos would've been sweet, with Iron Man, Cap, and Thor stringing something together to weaken him. One thing I'm glad about, though, is the screentime Nebula got in the film and the way they used her. Kudos to my celeb crush Gillan because she was brilliant in this. Asguardians of the Galaxy is going to be awesome. All well and good to say this in hindsight. Still a good movie, in any case.
