Oh, this is by no means bad. If anything, it's... probably about as good of a film as we could expect, given the sheer number of stuff going into it.
I mean, I don't even want to count the number of characters there are in this thing...
Thanos is a great villain. The action is spectacular. When characters from different properties interact, it's just delightful.
But there's no real focus, and when it does start to focus on things... it's rarely compelling. And a lot of the stuff that's supposed to feel super important... just ring hollow, because of that lack of focus.
It's a fair bit of a mess, but given what it's trying to be... how could it not be?
It deserves credit for not being quite the unholy mess it could've been...
