All the stuff I was hoping they'd do, they didn't do.
It's overstuffed, with no real plot (and what it has is recycled) and the action is well-choreographed but badly directed. I think it would have worked much better as a Captain America film (this really isn't, it's Avengers 2.5) where:
Near the start of the film Rhodey dies and the December 16th 1991 reveal happens, and Iron Man becomes the villain of the film; Bucky is re-introduced as an ally earlier so we care about him and worry that he might get killed - because we know Stark and Rogers sure aren't going to; most of the other characters are cut out or only seen from the perspective of Cap
Either that or it should have committed to being an Avengers film and re-structured accordingly.
Black Panther and Spidey are okay, but add nothing; I suspect their own films will suffer for the characters being introduced in so perfunctory a manner elsewhere. Vision and Scarlet Witch's chemistry is great but is utterly irrelevant to this film.
