It looks good but does anyone else get the feeling there is too much going on in this movie?

Americans have always been out for themselves, and our politicians and wealthy have always been crooked.

Yea bruh we get it. We have it the easiest in history today *
*excluding the fact those all those who went through everything you saying had 3x to 6x the buying power than we do today. That's why they could afford a house, two cars, a tractor, a boat, and retirement while living comfortably on one income while the wife stayed at home. Take your current salary, hold all other economic variables constant, and multiply it by 4. Then get back with me on how hard it was for those past two generations to live from the 50s on.

A few generations ago we had 25% unemployment and a global depression. Then we had an actual world war where men went off to die. Then we had the Cold War where we had nuclear weapons threatening the existence of mankind.
If high home prices are what the millennials think is hardship, it says more about them than the economy.
But you know what they had that we don't? A little honesty and integrity in the right places. Everyone is out for themselves today.

This is what happens when corrupt governments are controlled by corrupt money
There are no rules for the ones in power. Only payouts and kick backs by those super rich who stand to profit. The rest of us eat the costs like peasants.
At this point, there is no solid viable political or economic solution other than a full out revolt.
That's the truth but no one will care or stand up so we’ll just circle the drain.

This is one of the most pretentious and overally dramatic shows on TV.
I started to ask myself - do I really care if this butt-hole succeeds? No really. He just prances around yelling, shaking and smoking cigarettes half the time.

I shite talked this movie about 3 months ago on here saying it had no stars and who gave a shite about these characters. Maybe in the pre Captain America 4 threads.
I think the overwhelming majority of people really enjoyed this movie precisely because it had heart.
As usual, I'm years ahead of where the movie board will be on a movie when the seal clapping shine wears off.
I didn't say "I didn't like it". I said it was a solid 6/10.
What people are calling heart was more themes tied to the psychological motif of failure and depression juxtaposed to the previous Avengers. That's a pretty solid basis and theme.
With a foundation like that, however, the corresponding elicited emotions should be a strong driver to connect the audience. The frustrating part of this movie is that HAD THE INGREDIENTS for it with Bob. He was a great character.
The movie should have started off with him as a child, like GoTG. Bring us into why he is the way he is, then show how Elena is similar to foreshadow their connection. Build more sympathy for Bob so that when he "turns" its more dramatic.
All the plot points pushed forward too quickly and never really gave us time to let them land. A great example was them in the void. Great direction would have been to slow those room transitions down and make them more mysterious and magical pointing us back to elements that help us relate to Bob.
Bob was the centerpiece of the story but he felt like a side character plot device.

Having seen it, I'd give it a solid 6/10
The actors all did really well and the overall story was decent.
It just lacked something. It felt hollow, like it had no real heart. I feel like we, the audience, should have connected with Bob's story more as a child and have that story mean something in parallel to the blonde chick's story. Something that clearly linked them and brought us into their lives and to use that link for them to both overcome in the end. GoTG did this well with Peter Quill. But all those small connecting features and natural charisma was missing from this film.
Now the post, post credit scene, that dialog was written better, I feel like if the entire movie had that feel it would have been slightly better.
This movie was so close to being great but ended up slightly better than decent.
