As someone with a big comic book background, including having read the many infinity wars comics, I wonder if this movie is harder for casual fans to appreciate. Did anyone go with a non-comic book fan that had trouble watching the movie?
Anyways, I really liked the depiction of Thanos, although slightly different from the comic book. They obviously had to change things without the motivating factor of lady death. I also don't think I saw Thanos grin once. He was more of the cold calculating Titan than the mad Titan.

I have a casual knowledge of the comic books but have been pretty committed to the video media, I've seen all of the movies multiple times (expect BP & IW so far once only), and I am only a few season of the various tv shows behind right now.
My wife would watch most of the movies once with me. She spent her whole reweekend watching various Marvel movies to catch up and figure out what the hell was going on, because she was so enamored with this movie.
Not sure on your opinion based on the source text?
But to me the smartest thing to do would be to have the heroes go back to the 90's (as in the setting of the Captain Marvel Movie) to stop Thanos, then set about some course of events in which Cap was never thawed, Tony never built the Armour and Thor was never cast down to earth, leaving the newer characters in their current state alive and well, possibly even with knowledge of the first universe. This would allow them to let Downy Jr, Hemsworth and Evans walk. It would also given them the opportunity to highlight some of the characters they have brought to the forefront over the past 6 years, allowing them to recast and relaunch some of the major characters in the mid to late 20's when the franchise is ready for a storyline 20 years in the beyond where we started. Best way I can think of to avoid sacrificing the 11 years of continuity that has separated marvel from all other movie franchises. I would worry some would see it as a cop out, but to me the other option is to start killing them, then what happens 7 years from now when you feel the needed to start re-launching the main characters again?
