I really enjoyed the first Avengers film (8/10), but in this one it seemed like the cast didn't really care and just went through the motions. I gave it 6/10.
My 2 cents.
For within each death there is always a new life, a new beginning - Dillon, Alien 3
I felt differently. To me, the first ones a 'the gang gets together' movie.
I loved AOU because it showed they're a team and family and it did it right from the beginning and then later with their personal interactions. AOU was a much deeper film to me.
I can watch AOU more than I can TA.
Why suddenly Natasha felt attracted to Banner? I thought she had a "special" relationship with Hawkeye and then he suddenly has kids and wife?? I don't know if they follow the comics on this, but I hated that part, it felt like a betrayal to my eyes.

TA showed they had a very close and personal relationship. But it never showed them having anything sexual between them, even sexual desires. Some people just took the closeness and figured that meant they were a couple. Which is a little odd because they never showed the sexual innuendo that we see developing between her and Banner.
It's also the same with Steve in TWS. She's flirty, which is her nature with men but that drops as her friendship with Steve grows throughout the movie and he behaves to see her real side. But, again, you never see sexual desire burgeoning between then. Just a growing deep friendship as she lets Steve see who she truly is.
AOU shows the team, that it had been working together for a while and getting to know one another. Therefore the relationship between Natasha and Banner has been growing stronger. Their first conversation (we see) at the bar, and her ability to calm him with a 'lullaby', is a continuation of a relationship that has been going on off-screen. That doesn't make it less real. I was fine with it, though it is a sad relationship.
As to Clint, I loved them showing us his secret, and that they gave one of the Avengers a stable relationship and a family. It was a great reveal, and showed that Clint is the heart of the team, though he had no great powers. It makes us see why he does what he does. He's the everyman of the movie, and it made his character have so much more depth than we got in TA.
I understand you don't believe this. That's fine. To me, their decisions were good. I wasn't shocked, and they didn't come out of left field. I could see where they going and see the pieces they laid out. So, I didn't feel like they went down one road, backed up, and went down another. To me, these decisions have been slowly laid out in a curving, twisting road.
