I get that they were trying to construct a melancholy/desolate feeling in the beginning, when everything starts to sink in and they come to terms with their families being snapped away. However, I feel like it came to a point (at least for me) where it honestly was just kind of a chore to sit through the first half. It's just almost two straight hours of inert plot developement and character growth. Take my opinion with a grain of salt if you will, because I'm not the biggest MCU fan or anything - just someone who's watched nearly all the movies (aah I missed the hulk movie) and didn't thoroughly enjoy some of them or see what some of the buzz was about.

Now, all I said was that it was gruelingly long and over the top, but I did enjoy it much more than the first part of the movie. There's a lot going on in that specific part of the movie, and even though it was pretty long, it was fast-paced (and that's something I liked about it). They put a lot of thought into the battles between specific characters and making them seemingly glorious (like the "female superheroes" scene), and I liked that they thought of that. There is a sprinkling of mindless battling, like you said, and then the movie came to a satisfying close.
