I've seen it and has been left unimpressed by its ability to show a story. True, they don't tell it, but I never felt like I was interested in it to begin with. Yeah, they're there, and yeah, they fight each other from time to time - and... that's it. Comic book movies - much like mainstream comic books - are a very simple, unintellectual kind of entertainment. I'm fascinated by the concepts each of those introduce, being both a comic book (as a format) fan and a Marvel fan, but they aren't much in terms of stories. The only real strive towards the unknown in the MCU have been hints of Wakanda in... Iron Man 2? - and even those are going to get revealed in the Black Panther movie.
