9. Poorly-Shot Fight Sequences

In fairness, this complaint is directed at Captain America: Civil War more than any other movie, which featured some embarrassingly bad close-quarters combat, with the Lagos sequence in particular deferring to choppy editing and near-incomprehensible camerawork.

It's especially odd as the Russos previously nailed the up-close combat in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the two big fights later in Civil War also had no issues whatsoever. Still, fingers crossed that Infinity War's action is a little more consistent.

Will It Happen?: The fact that Infinity War will clearly have an even greater focus on digital elements gives the Russos much more control in post-production, and lessens the chance of the choppy action rearing its head again. Fans are probably safe here. Probably.
