• It's too crowded. This was inevitable in a movie with ten years' worth of heroes and villains, and to be fair the Russos juggle the roster of 30+ characters as well as anyone could, but you cannot give all your stars something meaningful to do with that huge guest list. As a result, many characters show up simply for fan service or for extra warm bodies in a battle. 
• A lack of scenes. Yes, I know that technically Infinity War is full of scenes, but so many of them are fight sequences or just connective tissue to get us to the next fight sequence. When I say scene, I mean in the words of Nerdwriter, something with "a strong scene of place, a feeling of possibility, that the characters that inhabit the space could go anywhere within it..." Say what you will about Age of Ultron, but it had more meaningful "scenes" than Infinity War. There's nothing like the party scene or the farm scene in the latter; so much of its 160 minute running time is dedicated to either chasing or protecting the infinity stones, and it rarely takes a deep breath to let a scene unfold. The throne room scene with Thanos and Gamora and the hotel room scene with Vision and Wanda come closest.

Both understood points. I said to my friend that with so much in it there is not really any real character development, only characters with any sort were Vision and Scarlet Witch but it was short and 'they love each other, so it's hard' and Thansos with a side of Gamora, everyone else were themselves and didn't 'grow'. Of course the next film will fix that, I just hope Adam is in it. Thor was more of a presence though and to me, after Thanos, made the film.
