I'd explain it like an ambitious underdog taking a chance tries to make sure they don't violate any major logical storytelling rules and as Marvel has made more and more money this has changed and they no longer feel fallible. The sense of infallibility is palpable in the most recent Marvel movies. They think that mindless action, faceless drones interspersed with one liners from the Avengers is good enough. It's not. I probably won't see another Marvel movie until the finale and that'll be in my house, saying I'm disappointed in the movie is an understatement. It's changed my views on paying for movies in theaters.

Think they just tried to do too much, and lots got cut, so in the end the movie lacked flow and story telling.
Issue with this one is it just was kind of dropped into the universe. Didn't really build from any of the prior movies, and just jumped into the Avengers being a team ready to go again.
Also getting hard to have any character development when you have 10 characters to focus on, and when you are introducing so many new charactes (Ultron, Vision, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Klaw).
