Pros - Josh Brolin owns his role. His line delivery is really on point. Hits the ground running. Makes sense given over a dozen movies to already set up the story here. Bringing the characters together makes for plenty of good moments, i.e. Thor and Rocket. That ending. My worries is everyone will come back in Avengers 4: The Voyage Home and make this ending lose all emotional impact. Peter Dinklage
Cons - Seeing this without any prior knowledge of the previous films will be very confusing. With so many characters, some will inevitably feel neglected. Captain America, for example, is relegated to B story. Sir not appearing in this film -

Pros:
- It maintains its dark tone for once.
- Thanos and the Black Order were awesome.
- Some of the pairings work really well like Thor and Rocket.
- That scene with Gamora.
- Doctor Strange being such a cool mofo that sheep count him.
- The downer ending;even if I wasn't necessarily moved by it.
Cons:
- Star Lord being stupid.
- Hulk acting like a bitch.
- Some CGI heavy scenes did seem a bit dodgy like during the final battle scene.
- Agreed, it's such a big cast, people gonna get short changed.

Pros- I agree with all yours, and I'll add: Thor continuing to really come into his own as a character. The epic battle taking place on both Titan and in Wakanda really added to the scope of it all.
Cons- The pace was so fast, there were very few chances to catch your breath. The climax, as effective as it was, might have been even moreso if the secondary characters (Pepper, Aunt May, General Ross, etc) would have been shown either turning to dust after The Snap or witnessing that happening to others.

All around awesome but just a few cons They should have NOT killed off the Black Order or at least not all of them. I would like to see them come back in Avengers 4. Thanos in my opinion should have been wearing his iconic armor throughout the movie Vision should have fought better. Have the stones powers/effects shown better whenn Thanos is using them. More battles in Space (beyond Titan) and less earthbound fights.

Pro - Having nearly everyone in the movie.
Con - I wasn't moved beyond the scope of the ending; while I shed zero tears, it was still effectively done & to witness.

Pros:
The whole scene with the surprise return of Red Skull leading to Gamora's death was well done
I liked Thanos
Thor and Rocket
Cons:
The whole movie is like the first two minutes of X-Men: Days of Future Past stretched to two hours. I almost put "never becomes a trailer for other movies" as a pro, but then I realized the whole movie is a trailer for Avengers 4. None of this movie is going to matter in a year, and that's why I didn't give a damn when everyone turned to dust.
While I did like Thanos, I wish he had his slightly more unique comic motivation
Starlord being a dumbass, and also Scarlet Witch being a dumbass
Doctor Strange mouthing off to Tony Stark. Felt like Drake mouthing off to 2pac.
Rhodey telling off Ross(?) over the Accords. Way to render the ambiguity of Civil War moot. Also, seems he's all better now after that horrific back injury. No lasting consequences ever!

Pros: Josh Brolin's performance as Thanos The emotional context between Thanos and Gamora Thor's entrance into Wakanda Tony Stark and Doctor Strange's interaction Thor and Rocket Raccoon's interaction The surprise return of Red Skull The Black Order Decent pacing and how the multiple plot threads were balanced The cliffhanger ending Peter Dinklage was perfectly cast as Eitri
Cons: The cliffhanger ending was good, but we have no reason to fear for the characters that got snapped since we know that most of them will come back for future installments Star-Lord ruining one chance to defeat Thanos This movie kind of cancelled out Thor: Ragnarok. I wasn't too keen on Thor getting a new eye. Some shots in the trailers weren't actually in the film Captain America got the short end of the stick, but I'm okay with it. He'll have a larger part in Avengers 4.

Pros: -Being the truly most epic and darkest film in the MCU thus far. -Josh Brolin as Thanos is now the best villain of the franchise, dethroning Loki. -The character interactions (my favourites being Stark and Strange, and Thor and the Guardians). -The stakes were excruciatingly high and it rules. -The fight scenes and action.
Cons: -A bit too much of a cliffhanger end. -Star-Lord's foolishness

Pros: Thanos, I ended up liking him Thanos and Gamorrah Thor Thor and Rocket The battles on Titan and Wakanda, though everything happened so quickly it was hard to grasp it all The Black order Bringing together all of the characters Cons: the beginning of the film confused me at first - I thought I'd missed a part Starlord - he was useless Banner - not turning into Hulk and just whinging all the time Vision - also useless the ending - didn't feel anything when they died. I'm pretty certain they are coming back anyway, as Dr. Strange's words to Ironman made me think so.
