POSITIVES:
1) I love how emotional and deep the film is. The first hour or so of this film floored me. I really loved how dark and serious they went in terms of showing the trauma and after-effects of what Thanos did. Then, scenes like Tony speaking to his father for the final time, or Clint and Natasha fighting to sacrifice themselves, really hit me in the feels, along with the obviously very emotional death of Tony and funeral scene at the end of the film 2) Everytime I watch the "portals" scene it completely gives me goosebumps. The film, and the franchise as a whole up to this point, really feel like they've earned this insanely huge climax and it's honestly euphoric seeing all these heroes we've came to know fighting alongside each other. It's also really impressive how the film gets to this point after about two and a half hours of runtime, yet it's kept itself going at such a pace that it never feels like a slog to watch 3) Being a superhero film, it's always going to be difficult for the snobby parts of the film industry to recognise the individual achievements, but this film really does have some. The performances from the likes of Downey, Evans and Renner are really sensational, whilst technical achievements such as cinematography and score are really great too
NEGATIVES:
1) Time travel in film is always a difficult thing for me to swallow because it always seems to throw up so many plot holes. In this case, I struggled to understand the film's logic behind saying that the past doesn't change the future, but then also saying that it's totally fine for them to steal the stones and then just go back in time and replace them with no consequences, not to mention how insanely difficult it would be for Cap to actually replace them all, but the film just skips over that like it's nothing and gives us Chris Evans in really bad old age makeup instead 2) I know the MCU is known for its humour, but it's one of my least favourite parts of this franchise. This film is one of the best in terms of keeping the unnecessary humour to a minimum, but there were still a couple of scenes in which humour ruined the moment for me 3) Again, this is something the MCU has kinda became known for at this point, but it's absolutely ridiculous that we're supposed to believe in the final battle that everyone is able to communicate with each other, even though there are no earpieces to be seen and even if there were it would be impossible for them to have equipped everybody with those earpieces before the major battle started.
