I would definitely say that those are unpopular opinions. The draw of that first scene wasn't the battle. It was the emotional pit that the characters were now buried in. Thor had utterly failed, and everyone else was never getting their loved ones back. That was the point of that scene. Also, Thanos didn't have any of the stones, and his left arm was virtually gone. How much of a fight did you expect? Especially because at that point, it isn't in Thanos's character to fight. He'd accomplished his mission. The universe was saved. what happened to him after that was irrelevant.

The final fight was long and over the top, but it has to be. Its the ending to TEN YEARS of movies and stories, and the universe is at stake. What helped was that it wasn't just mindless fighting. It was clearly split into different section and goals. The first part was the Big Three against Thanos, when Cap uses Mjolnir. Then, there's a bit of Mindless Fighting, with every avengers battling Thanos's army. Then, there was keepaway with the gauntlet. Then there was trying to get the gauntlet to the van. Then after that failed, it was the final scuffle for the gauntlet between the core avengers. And then... it ended. A roller coaster of a finale, come to a close by a snap.

There were smaller plot holes that I found with this movie, but I was able to overlook them in light of the sheer cinematic genius that the Russos constructed.
