Unlike other action films, it was not a stab or bullet that caused most of the deaths. Over 10 characters vanished into thin air - literally.

Apart from that, some of the living characters didn't seem to get enough screentime either. The first Avenger Captain America and Black Widow were not used to their full potential in Infinity War.

Their entrance when they fought Thanos' Black Order to save Vision and Scarlet Witch was commendable. However, that fight was overshadowed by Doctor Strange and Iron Man's battle with the Mad Titan himself.
