The entire Marvel Universe turns out to battle the evil Thanos, whose idea of saving the world is to kill half the people in it. It's a battle royal of superheroes, which makes for a big crowd, even in space, so each character gets enough screen time to be recognized, knock off a smart line or two, and do whatever it is they've done in previous adventures to endear themselves to the fans. The movie's long and busy, the script's a chaotic mess, and with so many heroes with so many skills showing up in uniform ready to fight, there's not quite enough for any of them to do.
