As someone who doesn't really read the comics but generally enjoys the Marvel movies, I felt a bit dissatisfied with Thanos as the villain here. For several past movies he's portrayed as this ultimate all-powerful guy behind every major catastrophe, and then all of a sudden he's some dude walking around taking care of his own business.
Anyways, I liked the movie but it wasn't great. Some critical parts were very rushed, while others dragged on for ages only to end in what is supposed to be some sort of super emotional climax only for the characters to appear as if they don't really care their lifelong friends perish before their eyes.
Also, I've noticed for several movies now (not just Marvel) that they try to cram in as much 'easy comedy' as possible. I mean, for something that's supposed to be a rather dark, gritty movie there's constant joking around and being a wiseass while literally half the universe is about to die.
When I saw that the movie was going to be 2,5 hours I was hyped, not so much when I realized they're not afraid of wasting a full 5 minutes on a dude slowly eating peanuts for a cheap laugh or Thor cracking a joke in the same conversation as discussing how his world is destroyed and everyone he loves is dead.
