IMO, it was brilliant and very philosophical for an action movie. The whole movie is a giant moral dilemma. Is Thanos good or bad? I mean, he does want the universe to be adequate to everybody, but at the same time, to get it others need to be unwilling sacrifice. One half wins big, the other half loses everything. It's all random though, so equal shot at one or the other. If he doesn't do it, the whole may suffer anyway, but in different ways.
Anyway, just my two cents on it. Looking forward to the sequel.
Ok. Thanos wants the six Infinity Stones so he can be all-powerful. Once he is all-powerful, he can eliminate half of all life in the universe. This will ensure a better standard of living for those things left alive.
Well, if Thanos had enough power to remove that much life, it stands to reason he could have used his power to create sufficient resources for everyone, and not have had to kill anyone at all. If that was his intention, he could have enlisted the Avengers et al to help him recover the stones. This could have made for just as much action as the film they did make, and would have made a lot more sense.
And, since Thanos opts to kill trillions instead of creating more resources for them, he's clearly a bad guy.
(The comics have an answer for this, but we're talking strictly about the film)

How is he going to make more resources? The infinity stones have limits, and even said to have conscience. Like the curse it gave the watcher of the soul stone or the warnings that were given to Vision. Even the reality stone had its limits. The real world was hidden behind the illusion. The stones each require mastery, which is indicated throughout the series, included the other Marvel movies. Thanos got them, but he never mastered them, nor cared to. All for the wrong reason, which he perceived to be right.
