What I can say is that, the running time of two and a half hours absolutely flew by. There are plenty of large scale action sequences, which are amazing but there are also some shocking moments that were difficult to deal with. Because of the level of threat created by Thanos, there is an emotional aspect to this film that will take the viewer by surprise. One of them is a comical tone, mostly coming from the Guardians, Thor and Spider-Man. There are two tones at play in this movie. On the face of it, planning to eliminate half the universe's population is obviously a bad thing however, after we learn his motivations for wanting to do so, I'd be lying if I didn't say I understood where he was coming from. I also felt slightly conflicted by his motivations. To have a villain with that level of genuine threat I thought was fantastic. Through the movie's entirety I was on the edge of my seat wandering whether my favourite characters would actually make it out of the movie alive. For the first time I wasn't sure if the hero would win or not. In most of these movies deep down I know the hero will always win. Thanos in my opinion is the greatest villain the MCU has ever produced.

He is the main characters of this movie, not any of the heroes. It's his story that drives the whole plot. Although this film has 'Avengers' in the title, it ultimately belongs to Thanos.
