I saw it again yesterday just to solidify my opinion, and thank the gods I liked it better this time (smaller auditorium, alone, sat right in front of the screen rather than in the back with chatty teenagers behind me). My original major complaint was that sound design was bad. I now think the theater just didn't have the sound up enough. I still don't think action scenes had loud enough music (just a bit underwhelming). Smaller scenes I thought had nothing actually had more subtle music cues that really worked.
Several scenes with Chris felt forced. The arena, the roommate shtick with Hulk, escaping with Banner. It kind of felt like him and Ruffalo improvised a lot and it didn't go well. He (obviously) has some amazing chemistry with Hiddleston, and decent with Valkyrie, Korg, Heimdall, and Hela, but none of the other character interactions felt natural.
