Story-wise there is almost nothing. Just different packs of heroes doing their heroic stuff. Some fail (Iron Man/Dr. Strange), some almost scream for a spin-off (Thor/Guardians).

Brolin as Thanos steals the movie. The CGI and smart framing make him look fantastic. I don't dig his motivation (prophet/ecologist/saviour). I'd much rather see the comic book thing - courting Death. This would make a lot more sense. Also - I see this as a missed ball. Making Death his motivation, Marvel would open the MCU to another level of entities - maybe for Phase 4 or 5?
Yet I find it funny, that Thanos suddenly accomplished what he wished for in a matter of days, without even breaking a sweat. That was made too easy, despite occasional sacrifices on his side. Yeah. He does that in the movie.

Lots of character are underused (Gamorra, Loki and Banner), some are somewhat taken back in their development (Quill acts like Guardians vol 2 never happened; hell - the whole movie almost acts like it.

The movie delivers in terms of simple fun. The pace gets you through the 2,5hr long piece without the feeling of being bored. The laughs are in, the tears too. It's just as if it was just a bit too rushed on some points. Yet compared to Last Jedi, this should get an Oscar.

Maybe my score will change with Avengers 4, as some decisions (I am looking especially at you Dr. Strange) might become more sensible.

Go, see it for yourself. I was a bit dissapointed, but I will watch it again, when it comes out on BR.… Expand

Very, very few are gonna be permanent though because guess what? A majority of the cast has contracts and other movies in development. So it kind of ruins that whole ending when they've already announced sequels and the cast members to go along with them. So what was the point in killing all of them off when nearly all of them are coming back? It makes no sense and it kind of ruined the movie, which honestly was rather so-so.

There were a few funny bits with the Guardians, Dr Strange and Tony. I thought that the best storytelling parts involved Thor and Thanos was a much deeper villain than I thought. So it's not a total wash of a film but I still felt that it was nowhere near the epic film it should have been.… Expand

Infinity War is the same predictable mediocre flick for children as usual, only one that's too big for its own good.

The previous team-up movies had a generic structure: some unmenacing bad guy arrives so the heroes have to unite - theInfinity War is the same predictable mediocre flick for children as usual, only one that's too big for its own good.

The previous team-up movies had a generic structure: some unmenacing bad guy arrives so the heroes have to unite - the heroes do unite, but the bad guy seems to take the upper hand - the heroes regroup and defeat the bad guy. Since IW was planned as two movies (more movies = more cash, not like there's some story to be told here), the structure is split between them, so the first one ends with the heroes seemingly defeated. But since we know that a sequel releases literally next year, the many character deaths feel cheap and pointless, kind of like that of Superman in BvS. And there are way too many heroes to give everyone proper screen time and things to do anyway.

There's literally nothing to see here apart from these forced deaths - there's no original plot involved, it's just another CGI purple Homer Simpson lookalike who wants to kill everyone "for balance" with added amounts of forced drama and tedious dialogues. He also has some CGI minions that look like early-2000's video game villains, but I don't think those were even named. Also the film's largest battle is that between some CGI 4-armed monkeys and an African tribe armed with spears. Yeah.

Also, still remember Thor Ragnarok? You know, the one which was mostly pointless as usual, but it did have Thor lose his hammer and eye? Well now it's completely pointless as he has both back. Just like IW will become pointless next year when the follow-up comes around.

I quite liked the first two Avengers movies, and while the third one (Civil War) was already slightly overstuffed, it was still serviceable. This, however, just continues the downward trend of movies like Guardians 2 and Thor 3.… Expand

Personally, I find them 'meh'. Some are decent, some are boring. Popcorn movies. I don't care much for the Guardians of the Galaxy humor and they make up a good chunk of the movie. Looking at it rationally, the leader of them should be portrayed as a villain as well for what he did in a decisive moment but the movie, of course, has no time for any reflections. I watched it with an open mind and was ready to like it. From what I've heard Thanos as a villain sounded interestingly enough even though the infinity stones with the glove look like he got them from a gumball machine. Sadly, Thanos story was the only thing that I found somewhat interesting about the movie with the large scale battle being particularly generic and emotionless. "Here's some stuff for you to punch!" Endgame was better but even as an intro for it Infinity War is just a snoozefest.… Expand

First of all, the movie is not that bad. It works well and you celebrate when you see some heroes fighting together. The villain Thanos made by CGI is really good, more than everyone, but for me there is some moments that you can see clearly this is a visual effect. I'm a kind of dissapointed but not so much with Hulk. He is good, but too funny (and for me it seems that Hulk does not appear because they used the budget to other things).
The Final... Oh, THAT FINAL. I watched lots of movies in it premiere weekend, and the audience in the most part claps for it (included The Last Jedi). It was not what happenned with Infinity War, everybody was quiet absorving the movie. Unnecessary and not-emotional deaths to very loved heroes and a "Not a Part 1" finale that makes you feel trash and stupped. In the other hand this is good, because we don't fell necessity of what "Part 2" right here right now. PS: They just copied the story from X-Men: Days of a Future Past?

The movies have borrowed heavily from material in the comics from like 20 and 30 years ago. The Civil War happened 10 years ago in the Comics. The Infinity War was 20 years ago. Stormbreaker, Thor's new hammer, is borrowed from a storyline from 30 years ago where Odin gave a survivor of an alien race the weapon so he can have the same powers as Thor. Technically Ragnarok hasn't happened, unless you count Thor #300. The infinity stones, or gems as they were called in the Comics were discussed in detail. The first gem, the Soul Gem was in the possession of Warlock for decades, until a writer decided to build a story about five other gems, when combined gives one the power of a god.
There was a trilogy to be exact: Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War and then Infinity Crusade.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to begin with this, I suppose starting off with the good first would be a good start. Thanos comes off as a fantastic villain, his motivations for his actions are actually justified and is a problem the real world will eventually face. Unfortunately though if you're a comic book fan this is about all that will come out of this. Not that the movie is bad, but Thanos has a ridiculous amount of plot armor. Doctor Strange had the opportunities to completely avoid any and all of this mess by simply sending Thanos to another dimension for example but Doctor Strange never used his full power on Thanos. Also after meeting the Guardians of the Galaxy and learning that Thanos had Gamora, couldn't Doctor Strange just teleport to her and bring her back thus preventing Thanos from getting the Soul stone? Or Doctor Strange could've brought everyone back to Earth and we could've had Thanos fighting all of the heroes. On the surface this movie will seem good, there are deaths, a justified villain, and some funny moments. But the fact that my girlfriend who's only exposure to the Marvel Universe has been the movies can sit with me and poke holes in the plot proves that the writers didn't know how to handle the more powerful characters in this. Overall if they didn't include the Sorcerer Supreme this movie would've made a lot more sense on why things happen like they do.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be sure, those craving an indulgence of the senses will not be disappointed. This film is nothing if not action-packed and visually stunning—and there are nearly 3 hours of it! I do not envy the screenwriters' and directors' task of cramming nearly all known MCU characters into 1 movie and trying to work out their character arcs, abilities and personalities into a conceivable conglomeration of backstory motivations and plot pushers.

Still, I came away from this film feeling strangely dissatisfied. Long after the dust settled and I had time to sort through my initial shock, that wrinkle-your-nose, furl-your-eyebrow kind of feeling surfaced any time the film was mentioned. Absolutely I was not okay with the outcomes of some of my favorite MCU characters—but a good film is a film that moves you, outrage included. IW is a reasonably dark film with little to no redemption—but even that is fine by me as long as it's a film that sweeps me along with it, that parallels a part of my humanity, too. Those weren't my beef with this movie.

No, what I found supremely lacking was, unfortunately, the most central part of this film: the development of Thanos' character. Nothing about the purple titan was compelling—the inanity of his universal genocide, the illogicality of his fighting methods, the randomness of his brutality. Very little about him resonated with anything I know to be true of human (or titan) behavior. It seems the filmmakers sacrificed consistency for showmanship. Rather than having his behavior stem from something conceivable within his psyche, they approached it the other way round, using the means to justify the ends. Their end game was to create a villain unbelievably powerful and idealogically-fueled—an opponent hitherto unmet by our MCU heroes—but, in so doing, they invariably released a monster of their own creation. Nothing they could contrive would satisfy all the physical and metaphysical laws now broken and exploited by MCU superheroes. Their solution was to patch Thanos up with a thin backstory and handle all of his encounters with superpower-imbued opponents circumstantially.

To their credit, the filmmakers did attempt to give Thanos some depth, but the results were doubtful at best. Take his relationship with Gamora, for instance. In order to give the Soul Stone scene some emotional juice, precious screentime had to be devoted to flashbacks between Thanos and young Gamora. Unfortunately, probably owing to the fact that Thanos was portrayed as a cold, heartless tyrant in previous films, their relationship seems utterly surface—and the scene that should have borne much pathos becomes cringeworthy and offputting. They tried to flesh out Thanos' complex psychology, but, in the end, we're left with a confusing amalgamation of benevolence, madness, warmongering, pacifism, mania, fanaticism—and no good reason for any one of those things.

Throw a thinly-conceived, thickly-plot-armored villain into a mix of powerful superheroes and you get a series of incredulous battle scenes, each more aback-taking than the last, and each serving a clearer and clearer purpose: to advance the shallow plot and build up Thanos as the baddest guy ever. It's like watching your Superbowl favorite get shutout by a European rugby team—at their own game. Practically unbelievable.

The film wasn't a failure, of course. But as the consummation (part 1) of a decade of MCU buildup, it was a letdown. Most MCU films (barring the last two or three, perhaps) have done an exceptional job with character development. I was expecting much more from this "magnum opus."

Here's to a much better part 2.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe the hype on this. A nearly 3-hour cliffhanger? People are calling this the greatest superhero movie ever made? But the story is only halfway through... The first Avengers movie was a story with consequences and it hinged on the dynamics between the heroes and the politics involved in their motivations and stories. This movie is too full of IP to do that. It's essentially three hours of rock, paper, scissors. Endless showdowns where one power level clashes with another power level and one wins out based on the arbitrary decree of the rules. I think you have to be a gamer to find this interesting, and to think that Thanos is a compelling villain. That's another thing. I love Josh Brolin but his everyday bluecollar American male speaking style makes Thanos seem less than mythic. Superhero movies have maxed out on scale. Now that nothing short of the fate of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE is at stake, where will they go from here?… Expand

I honestly don't know where to start.
Thanos was ok, i like Brolin. It was quite clever to cast him as a hybrid vader/joker but with a larger chin. There are no deep psychological aspects to take from him, it's a movie for teens, not a psychological thriller. Maybe he was mirroring the thoughts of our own human masters... whoooohooo.
The cinematography or whatever it is called now in the fight scenes was abysmal, the fights didn't matter, no-one cared. If you could see what was happening.
The cheese was overwhelming, i'm glad the cheesiest of the cheese is a spoiler so i don't have to write about it but it was cheese. Stringy contagious cheese. Cheese ruins who you care about, who lives or dies ect and it was plentiful.

Lazy writing, my pet hate. Someone threw a big box of marvel plushies onto the screen and expected it to be more than 'giving the kids what they want', what a mess.
The best bit about lazy writing is that the sequel is now so open ended that it could just be all a dream or maybe some contrived space/time (make it up as you go along) rubbish.
The plot had no substance or intrinsic nature, there was something about a magic glove.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll start with the positives. The Effects, acting, and choreography (with the exception of one fight) were all top notch. The actors, animators, and supporting staff should be commended for a job well done. Where this movie falls flat is the writing. If there's one good thing about this movie's writing, it's Thanos. He's one of the few MCU villains who is driven by what he believes is right instead of greed, and comes off as very relatable. He also presents an interesting philosophical dilemma which gives his actions meaning. It's the rest of the writing that falls flat. Spoilers begin now.

There are a lot of things I thought were done poorly. Hulk decides to not be able to transform for no apparent reason other than the plot demands it. The wakandans decide to sacrifice tons of lives in a brutal battle in order to save one non-wakandan life (Vision), when the safer route would have been to destroy vision and the stone the moment he volunteers, all because the plot demands it. Stark, after getting his ass kicked by a couple lackeys, decides it's a good idea to engage Thanos directly. Stark also completely 180s on his fatherly need to keep Parker out of trouble because the plot demands it. Thanos is established to have reality-bending powers once he gets the Reality Stone, yet he completely forgets about them the moment the rest of the characters show up to fight him because the plot demands it. There's a fight scene where Black Widow and Okoye have a bad guy surrounded, yet the seasoned and skilled warrior Okoye decides to give up her tactical advantage by circling around and fighting the bad guy head on with Black Widow because, again, the plot demands it. However, all of these points would only drop the movie to an 8/10 in my book. The real reason I'm giving it such a low score is because of the ending. If all the characters who die unceremoniously were permanently dead, I'd be sad but not mad. It would have been a powerful ending that shatters expectations. However, one of the characters who gets whisked away is Spider Man, and guess who has a confirmed sequel slated for July 2019? That's right, everyone who died is coming back in the next avengers movie, presumably by having Captain America collect the dragon balls and make a wish to the dragon Shenron. Which means this entire movie has been pointless from a story perspective, unless we watch the next movie to see the story's conclusion. The ending makes the movie feel like a giant middle finger to the audience, but it could have been worse. At least it didn't cut to black in mid sente-… Expand

SoAs someone who isn't huge on comic book movies, but certainly loves some great ones, I was a little mixed going into this movie. The length of this movie is what really worried me the most, but what was I gonna do, not watch Infinity War? So I went in hoping for the best.

I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. For about 15 minutes. LOVED the opening, the brutality of it, and even the Thanos and Hulk fight. But once the movie gets going, it also gets extremely boring. It's just one enormous but boring action scene after another, and it became unbearable after a point.

Somehow, I stuck with it and the ending wasn't the worst. But nothing about this movie, aside from its scale, warrants this runtime. The good scenes towards the beginning and an alright ending elevate this movie a bit, but not nearly enough to make up for the torturous other 2 hours.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually it looks like the $200M production it is. The story line was unfortunately weak as it romped through a buffet of characters.

Thanos wins because the script says he must, not because he should, or because he had a better plan. The good guys lose not because they they had a moral failing, they just don't ever seem to quite pull it together. The film asks you to care about losing people, but this is Marvel - they ALWAYS come back for another episode. The Hulk, Dr. Strange, a tech team of humans, and even Thor all swing and miss - why? Because you MUST come back for another movie. Why? Because DISNEY owns Marvel.

I wouldn't be surprised if it takes TWO more movies for Thanos to lose and the fallen heroes to be returned.… Expand

A good looking weak movie. You might enjoy it more if you absolutely love super-hero movies.

Do you like movies that are too unfocused and have so many story arcs that go nowhere just so they can promise to tie them together somehow in aA good looking weak movie. You might enjoy it more if you absolutely love super-hero movies.

Do you like movies that are too unfocused and have so many story arcs that go nowhere just so they can promise to tie them together somehow in a sequel so they don't even have to try to resolve the main conflicts they set up through the movie? Then this is the movie for you ! A movie with absolutely no value unless you've watched all the previous movies leading up to it AND are 100% sure you WILL watch the sequel whenever that comes out.

That being said, if you liked generic super-hero movies you'll absolutely LOVE this one, it's got more out of context fan-service than anything I've ever seen which, given you love what came before it, will be moments you actually enjoy.

The visuals are great, the performances from almost all of the secondary characters is great, the only ones of the big name actors that are phoning it in are Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. (and in his case he's still not that bad compared to the others, but he is worse compared to how he acted in the Iron Man trilogy).

The story is incredibly incomplete and can't be judged adequately until it's finished however it does have a lot of moments where you'll be thinking: "Well why didn't they just do X instead of Y, this is a terrible idea and I'd actually be insulted if it works" it's not any worse then it's been in the previous Avengers movies but it's not any better either.

Every character gets at least 1 chance to show off on the screen and it looks great for all of them even though the way the moments are woven into the story seems contrived and forced.

The villain is a boring guy with an absurd evil ideology, he's barely a step up from Red Skull in terms of motivations. It's amusing how bad his plan and motivation are, his plan is something the magnitude of Hitler's Final Solution without actually being "Final" in any way, he feels like the most generic comic book villain you can find in every way except his acting which is excellent.

It's a CG spectacle with no sense of direction. It's okay to want to see it if you're into that but please don't recommend it to your friends who don't care about superhero movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilery Review...

The Negatives

This movie had a bad idea from the start... Have all the characters at once. It's like they forgot Character Development. The story felt like Sonic Heroes where they were separate stories that collide at certain points. Except Sonic Heroes didn't have Plot Holes. If Thanos had all the power, why not double the resources instead of Half the Population. It has the same affect without half the people dying.

Next up, the "kill list." Out of all the characters to kill, you chose they exact opposite of what you should've died (disintigrated, the people who die died were fine). You killed Black Panther, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Star-Lord, Drax, Groot, Mantis, and Nick Fury. You killed off all the new people. Now the original Avengers have to save the day. Next time give the brand new Marvel characters a chance without help. They seem casted out, like they want only the original Avengers to have screen time. Nick Fury is the only one that should have been disintegrated who actually was.

The 20 something characters

There are so many heroes I don't even remember how many there are. There is so little time to add ANY character development.

The Positive

This IS a Disney movie, so when it comes to acting, action and CGI, it does have that level of polish.

Take this with a quarter grain of salt, because I love SpiderMan and Black Panther, but I know they'll come back at some point. So that's my honest review.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the main flaws is that it just doesn't progress, it is the same plot all throughout the movie, just changing some characters and cenario, but it is always the same fight with the same goal. They make you watch 2h 40min of film and they don't even give you an actual epic fight between Thanos and some of the heroes.
The movie also has some minor flaws that really bug me, such as the relationship between Thanos and Gamorra and how they don't really justify him loving her so much and it doesn't even look like much of a sacrefice for him to take the Infinity Stone.
But you can't judge a movie just by it's script. The special effects are mesmerizing, the acting is on point and it is a nice event to go watch this movie with your friends, you just can't expect more than a shallow yet flashy experience.… Expand

Infinity war is a movie with some good action, but incredibly poorly written and predictable plot. The whole movie feels like a huge shock factor stunt that aims to have emotional impact that weights down on the viewer but ultimately fallsInfinity war is a movie with some good action, but incredibly poorly written and predictable plot. The whole movie feels like a huge shock factor stunt that aims to have emotional impact that weights down on the viewer but ultimately falls flat. The only emotion I felt leaving the cinema was regret for spending my money and anger at the creators of Infinity War, because frankly, there was a time I used to enjoy the MCU and felt like this movie that wanted to represent the climax of all the previous 18 movies ended up being a huge let down.

A small advice. Next time when you will again try to create a dark movie with emotional impact, Marvel, try to be a little bit less obvious with your intentions and don't spoil the movie yourself by announcing sequels for all the supposedly killed off heroes before their "sad deaths". Be so kind and leave at least a small benefit of the doubt for the viewers. How can we feel sorry for a character's death when we already know said character, no matter how tearful threir dying scene is, will be brought back in the next movie? Do you think so little of your own fanbase? We all know the reason to why only the newer characters (with confirmed sequels) disappeared and the original stayed. We understand all the characters who died after the snap and Gamora who was sacrificed to get the Soul Stone will be coming back. And that it will be by the original Avengers doing in the Avengers 4. We understand it is the original surviving Avengers who are in true danger of dying for real in the MCU in the coming Avengers 4.

That makes the characters whose deaths were not inflicted by the Soul Stone or Infinity Gauntlet possibly the only permanent deaths of Infinity War. At least Marvel gave us the benefit of the doubt there. You would think that it's these deaths Marvel takes extra care to make them be felt hard? Well, then you are sadly mistaken. The possible permanent deaths on the list include Heimdall, Loki & Vision (Vision is AI, he can be saved in some way by Tony or Shuri), so characters who were killed off quickly without an afterthought in an opening scene!!! And in this light it brings the IW movie even lower.

Always when character gets killed for a shock factor, with the only purpose to show how powerful the newest villain is (I see you Warriors Three), I cringe. As I have already stated, shock factor deaths are just a result of awful screenwriting. Hey Marvel, if you want to create a truly awesome, fear inducing villain, there are better ways to do it. Have you forgot everything about character building? The irony Marvel decided to kill off in this manner its arguably most complex & popular villainous character makes it even worse. Loki was introduced to us as a powerful magician who could trick even Odin, shapeshifter, user of telepathy, telekinesis, with inborn elementary ice magic, high intellect, manipulative deceiving skills who used to wield not one, but two infinity stones. Loki had Space Stone in his possession, he knew Thanos is coming for years and had time to prepare himself. Yet Loki is not shown fighting or using any of his skills.
If someone told me before the IW that Marvel will make Loki go against Thanos with nothing but dagger out of all his skills, I would have laughed. Sorry but to give the very character that once threatened the whole planet of Earth and was the very reason project Avengers was created such a poor last stand was an awfully scripted mistake. Especially when he is the only big character truly dying in IW. The "no resurrection" remark as they felt the need to assure viewers that this time the trickster god is really gone was truly pathetic. And there is more than enough eye-roll inducing moments like this in IW movie.

Gamora scene. That is HOW to make characters go with honour. Strong scene, with background story and fight. But again, I think she is coming back because her death is connected to the Soul Stone. If not, then this was the highlight of the movie. I sincerely doubt it tho.

The only apspect I have praise for in this movie is the amazing acting. Marvel has put together incredibly talented cast and they are doing what they can to make the movie enjoyable. But their efforts are severely limited by the weak and predictable script. This has to be one of the worst movies in MCU.… Expand

The first 1.5 hours feels like a long unfunny setup. Despite constantly cracking inside jokes, only one or two actually made me laugh out loud. That is a lot of missed humor attempts. (I did like the final battle scene, despite it being spoiled in every preview and its similarity to Star Wars Episode One.) The CGI ranges from great to cartoony which makes no sense to me, unless it was rushed out. The villain (Thanos) is buff plus he has a glove with magic rocks in it. There is nothing else intimidating or sinister about him. The acting is fine but entirely forgettable. He does almost nothing cool with all the power he worked so hard to collect - except turn things to bubbles. I am serious. In what world does that pass as awesome or amazing?

For most characters, the acting feels under-rehearsed. Ironman seems shrill and frantic like an old lady. Star Lord manages to not say anything funny and comes off woefully dumb. I could go on.

The movie proves that it will ignore everything meaningful that happens in it - in the sequel. They will simply wave a magic rock at the end and "bubble" history back to normal.

The overwhelmingly positive reviews for Avengers: Infinity War calls into question the integrity of Metacritic and Disney...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Allow me to explain why I will not be seeing Endgame. No, it's not because of MRA rhetoric against Brie Larson, although that film's marketing certainly doesn't help. It's because this is all actually too stupid. Thanos's plan makes no ecological sense. The vast majority of living things are life-supporting microbes, and even if you make the concession that the Infinity Gauntlet could somehow differentiate species and halve each species, this is also a disaster because each higher level of a food chain requires exponentially more individuals in the lower levels due to energy transfers. On the other hand, assuming this isn't a problem, populations should be able to restore themselves in about two generations. In other words, no matter how you slice it, in the best case scenario Thanos's plan only works for about 50 years and in the worst case scenario it destabilizes all life in the universe, sending it spiraling out of control toward extinction. This is not the plan of a smart man.

You may say, "but glib Metacritic reviewer, he is insane, this is why his plan does not make sense. He went crazy because everyone he knew died of resource scarcity." Well then why doesn't he just create infinite resources? Why doesn't he turn back time and just halve the population on Titan before everybody dies, then see that it doesn't actually do anything?

Meanwhile, the protagonists are on idiot plot mode and don't, "go for the head." On Titan, Doctor Strange could have easily severed Thanos's arm at the elbow, ending this conflict. Instead they tugged on his pinky like they were trying to remove a wet latex glove. There's some good action in the movie but

1. Thanos's plan is stupid and he's stupid, and so are you if you don't demand more.
2. The protagonists are stupid and certain individuals (Thor for example) have magical drama power that makes them too strong. You can survive being blasted in the face by solar radiation and freely radiating heat in the oxygen-free environment of deep space but you can't win in a fight against Supreme Leader Snoak? Come on now.
3. I didn't know any of these bad guys prior to this movie, they're made of CG or are space dogs, and Thanos is an idiot, so I feel nothing regarding them. They're basically just DC villains.
4. The movie was a thousand hours long and having an hour and a half of action did not help this because it was a needless circus show of CG.

The condescending marketing of Captain Marvel ("we're the first female-led super hero movie!" "What about Wonder Woman" "Well we're the first Marvel female-led super hero movie!" "What about Elektra" "Well we're the first female-led super hero movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!" "Well the MCU's only been around for 10 years and most of the movies have been sequels" "Well you're just a bitter white man whose opinion doesn't matter") certainly doesn't help and basically just serves as icing to this whole garbage cake. I haven't seen Captain Marvel but it doesn't take a genius to see that she's going to be the same self-affirming, monotone, no-stakes borefest that she is in the comics, just another show-off Mary Sue for disingenuous corporate marketers to sell as a symbol of female empowerment. Thor's approval of her in the Endgame trailer is lurid - try doing the Rambeau or Khan Captain Marvels if you want to pat yourselves on the back for your diversity efforts. As it stands, it basically just looks like Thor gets tight pants every time he sees a white American woman.

The fact that Rotten Tomatoes needed to remove the "want to see" metric, had dozens and dozens of duplicate positive reviews, deleted the negative, and then conveniently ignored that the top critics have the same approval rate as the audience (62%) is rather weak. I will never support any product that suppresses criticism.

Inside and out, everything leading up to this climactic episode has been thoroughly stupid, and this is why I will not be seeing Endgame.… Expand

In fact, I would say its a beautiful mess. Its beautiful in terms of the cumulation of the previous 18 films where we see all (well at least most, with some key notable absentees) come together on screen to fight a certain foe, and its beautiful because there some really emotional moments between characters which many fans have come to see.

However, that said, there are by far way more flaws with the film that has not been present with other MCU film. The most obvious is the pacing and the inclusion of the many subplots within the film. The film is by far a mess in terms of this, because the Russo's attempt to juggle 5-6 subplots together by ping-ponging them back and forth without much narrative thrust. The problem here is that many of the scenes become dull on second viewing because they are largely made of expositions and the traditional marvel quips. For example, one pairing of Dr Strange, Iron man and spiderman might get 15 minute screen time for a scene, before there is a massive 40-minute gap before we come back to their story. It is nauseating because there is little momentum to carry these scenes. Whilst there are many action scenes and cool bone-chilling moments such as the appearance of Thor, a lot of the action scenes felt generic and nowhere as detailed as the Airport scene in Civil War which has set the gold standard to what all MArvel action scenes should aspire to. The problem here is that theres too much CGI and the inconsistent use of it. For example, Gamora is played by Zoe Saldana in makeup but keeps talking to the main villain, Thanos who is completely CGI becomes very jarring. That said the acting in this film is by far one of the best in the series, with Gamora and Thor being key standouts. Another problem is the humor. There is almost too much humor in this film and again tonally inconsistent. At one point, our heroes are conferring how to stop the villain, but we are constantly interrupted with jokes in such a serious situation, and they are straight up not funny. The dialogue is also poor with many lines just based on exposition. Some key characters that you would expect to have a major part, become irrelevant or have a diminished role in this film. The Black Order is a bit of a letdown, despite a very promising introduction to them. Thanos is brilliantly portrayed by Josh Brolin. His relationship with Gamora is the heart of the film. There are not many surprises and the film follows the comic pretty well which robs it of the shock factor for any person faintly familiar with the comic storyline or what was predicted. At the end, AIW is an enjoyable Marvel film with most of its part, but also contains pacing and plot holes problems that other MCU films has not had since now. There is also no rewatchable value to this film, unfortunately, but that can be forgiven due to the fact it is clearly a Part 1 film of a 2 Part series.… Expand

I onlyI’ve never been a Marvel Cinematic Universe fan; back in May 2012, the midnight premiere of The Avengers before I became a huge cinema buff, the only addition of the series I saw was Iron Man, which I felt no desire to watch again. I only bought a ticket to The Avengers because some friends invited me. Afterward, virtually the whole world went nuts and called it the greatest motion picture ever, I however just saw horrific, nauseous action void of artistic purpose. While softer attitudes towards Marvel eventually came my way, people praising ridiculous junk food over quality art still sickens me.

Even today, Marvel representing the early bane of my taste in movies still affects my outlook upon Avengers: Infinity War. Like Rocket Raccoon’s mockery upon anybody different, Marvel’s corporate heads blare their red logo in its abused emotional manipulation, whilst their followers turn a deep azure hue in moral discouragement.

This incorporation of many characters turns toilsome on a full bladder, since long stretches between subplots average between 20-40 minutes until returned to. The editors couldn’t keep them consistently active, but sure, they got enough time for infinite out-of-place jokes! Thor’s first scene with the Guardians alone contains nonstop laughs increasing the total runtime threefold. Gags continue throughout serious beats, particularly one where Drax snacking on chips interrupts a sad romantic exchange.

There are plenty… PLENTY of other flaws that ruin other evocative moments; whenever two combatants start punching and kicking, feeble battle choreographed by eye-sore camera movements looks set on anything besides vengeance. Rage seldom reaches full capacity, since no actors stayed on the same page: One aims to be optimistic (Chris Pratt), another aims to be deadpan (Robert Downey Jr.), and another cannot decide (Elizabeth Olsen), all cold in believability. Chadwick Boseman should take most of the blame as he continues his noncombative blank stares, alongside Chris Hemsworth as his obligatory smile disrupts any flow.

You’re probably sick of me bashing a property you love, so I’ll give a few praiseful bits.

After you acknowledge how Marvel’s surface visuals trick you into thinking it mastered sentiment, its subtext ends up quite effective. Right away in scene one, when Thanos takes down Hulk, he sets off a gradual growth of surprises, a greater threat in the end than at first. Even more noteworthy, he plays a crucial role to Gamora’s arc, continued well off Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Though during his Infinity Stone hunt, Thanos has three motiveless extra-terrestrial children, who in turn weaken the intentional threat he’s supposed to give.

The Russo brothers might potentially become phenomenal artistic directors in the future—they give each superhuman a satisfactory conclusion in the heavy-handed finale. Rocket Raccoon also receives a suitable amount of attention into a complex persona, alongside teenage Groot, who represents a teenager’s wartime psychology, only leaving his gaming device once he finds sudden flashes in deep deliberation. Soon, comicality stops altogether in an approach that overbears the remedy of many heart-shaped herbs.

Alright, enough praise. Here’s a clear perspective against the overhype of such a gimmicky unforeseen divergence from Marvel. Last Friday, Avengers: Infinity War skyrocketed up to #10 on IMDb’s Top 250, bumping up to #9 on Sunday (though it’s back at #10 now), surpassing genuinely good films: Saving Private Ryan, the Star Wars original trilogy, The Green Mile, Amadeus, and even Citizen Kane!

These classics knew how to present new ideas in clever ways, something the Russo Brothers failed at. Nothing they did here is as clever as you would want to think… the climax alone rips off The Lord of the Rings, an enduring trilogy about healthy retaliation, in its grand epic scale. Now, I understand Marvel does honor Stan Lee’s created universe enough to allow greater depth than previous superhero establishments, except those corporate heads beneath Disney’s control still insult the art of filmmaking by taking advantage of consumers for the sake of bank.

Instead of futile cash-bait, imagine if we celebrated genuinely intelligent narrative commentaries on true problems? Or better yet, stopped hating on DC fanboys because of foolish loyalty to nonexistent people with abilities we could never hope to obtain? Then I can guarantee you that the world would become a much kinder place without the need for a dictatorial jerk in a dumb America costume telling us what’s important in life.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All over movie is good. better than AOU. but the problem remains same. they keep cracking jokes which makes . I liked only one character doctor strange. he was only serious about everything. banner trying to make hulk out and hulk dont wanted to, that part in starting and in end were so stupid. no good music, no avengers theme, no any sequence there is no any fight I see from captaion and black panther, just a few punches.
even end was not that good. I thought this movie will be better than first one but now I know first one will always stay best from all.

Tony didn't stay in earth and I didn't like it.
action scene were good but not compared to what we saw in civil war.
This is very big movie, there must be some scenes and actions which supposed to be unforgattable. You will also feel at least one time that this isn't movie about avengers or saving earth/universe. its about thanos and gamora story. good time wasted there.

I hope next part will be better than this.
it has its flaws and big disappointments, but still its watchable movie and forgettable movie too.… Expand

Пример: огромный зелёный мутант, скандинавский бог, школьник, которого укусил паук, человек в железном костюме. Звучит смехотворно, не правда ли?

Сюжет -- концепция всех фильмов этой студии заключается в том, что главный герой выживает, а злодей умирает. Все они повторяют друг друга, я искренне не понимаю зачем это смотреть, если исход очевиден. Новые "Мстители" не станут исключением, разве что в конце "Финала" пара персонажей погибнет. Но их всё равно воскресят, чтобы снять ещё тонну подобного кино и срубить зелени на хомячках. А ещё не понятно одно: что, блять, за камни бесконечности? Любому шимпанзе известно, что вселенная существует лишь за счёт времени и пространства, какие к чёрту "душа", "сила", и тому подобное? Допустим, что я подошёл к фильму к научной точке зрения зря. Тогда объясните, почему вселенная произвела камни именно этих аспектов бытия? Где пресловутые "вода", "огонь", "воздух", "земля"? Но мне никто не объяснит, мне просто скажут "жри и молчи, а если не нравится, то ты долбоёб, ведь не могут миллионы мух ошибаться?"

Дубляж -- далеко не всегда правильная интонация, как и перевод, а пафоса в каждой фразе больше, чем членов в жопах тех, кому нравится фильмы MARVEL. Хотя, переизбыток пафоса -- проблема сценария, нежели дубляжа, что уж точно не прибавляет очков "Войне бесконечности".

Юмор -- все шутки сводятся к каламбурам уровня детского сада, в духе "я сказал пойти направо, а она пошла налево", после чего показывают как персонаж корчит рожу. А теперь ответьте на вопрос: может ли это вызвать неподдельный смех у взрослого человека без серьёзных заболеваний мозга?

Я и не беру в расчёт мелочи, вроде сюжетных несостыковок, ляпов со съёмкой и монтажом, что свойственно почти любому кинофильму.

Из плюсов могу выделить качественные спецэффекты, хорошую актёрскую игру и хоть какую-то попытку обосновать позицию антогониста.

В итоге мы получаем крайне слабый фильм, ну очень плохой. И да, моё любимое: "Почему бы просто не запрограммировать синапсы на взаимодействие?", "Потому что мы об этом не додумались" (здесь вы должны смеяться). Итог: эти имбецилы обрели на смерть половину вселенной.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If Thanos is out of his mind, so are the minds of the screenwriters of this film. They try to make sense out of Thano’s mad “Kill Half” theory. They even tried to add some humanity to this psycho sociopath. He has half of the universe’s blood on his hands, but he also has a heart? What? This is the definition of insane. I guess the screenwriters went crazy after the Marvel executives said “you can kill anyone” in Infinity War. So they tried to find ways to torture the audience and kill as many main characters as they can. I felt like I was watching a horror movie and waiting for getting PTSD. The campy and melodramatic killings – boyfriend killing girlfriend, girlfriend killing boyfriend, and father killing daughter really threw me off. It’s very dramatic, and it works to make an emotional impact on the audience. But in my perspective, to execute characters in a deliberately rapid manner, while torturing the audience and making them mourn, it’s atrocious, cold-blooded, manipulative, and low-quality writing. There is more to bear than to enjoy when watching the movie.

Marvel just does not know when to stop making jokes. Making fun in Infinity War will only make people do not know how to feel happiness and sadness. I did laugh while they were having a bit fun. But it felt so wrong, we just lost somebody not long ago. The audience next to me even laughed while crying and looked ridiculous. I think Marvel had internal screenings but I am appalled by this apparently poor narrative design. I completely understand they do not want a serious tone throughout the running time, but changing the scene and adding a joke after ending a character’s life do not help ease the intense atmosphere. The lack of running time in Infinity War makes it very hectic, messy when progressing the story. Some leading roles were even made out to be like side characters. The Captain America team and the Black Panther team suffered from very short screen time. Except fighting the characters had no time for feelings, those who had the chance to share strong sentiments were Thor and Gamora. The audience had a glance of everything but left with much more questions and desire.

There is no point to discuss who got killed in Infinity War, because some characters with confirmed sequels got killed, which does not make sense. And viewers can immediately predict what will happen in the next film.

Infinity War is so awful that it is the worst in MCU. I do not appreciate its story design, character development and interactions, and its insensitivity to the audience’s emotions. A majority of the film tortures and kills many favorite superheroes of the fans – it’s not well-intentioned, and it’s not entertainment. I can’t see the point of this film. Well, the visuals are still the brighter side of this film – the cinematics featuring many beautiful sceneries and details, and the heroes featuring new tactics and moves. But they seem not worthy of overcompliments. What’s wrong with you, Marvel? It’s not fun when you treat the heroes like that!… Expand

Seriously. I came in expecting a certain amount of unresolved awfulness thanks to this being a to-be-continued kind of movie, and there were a couple of in-character screwups that caused tragedy, which I'm fine with. (After all, that's the old definition of a tragic hero: one who screws everything up BECAUSE of their heroic nature.) This, by contrast, comes off like someone was more interested in pushing emotional buttons than telling a story. There were some good moments of characterization and character interaction, and the actors did a good job of seeing this thing through, but seriously, Russos? You had to cram in another torture scene or another weeping-over-the-dead scene instead of, you know, explaining the sudden relationship upgrade between two characters that seems to have happened since Civil War, or what certain characters have been doing for the last couple of years? I've seen all the Marvel movies at least once, and I was still mildly confused by some things, and annoyed that other things were sped through so quickly so that the writers could get to more ANGST.

May I add that this is also a very railroaded story? Because every single use of the Infinity Stones here will remind you! Screw you, heroes who are actually trying to succeed! There's only one way this movie is gonna go and you're gonna stick to it!

A lot of people seem to like this movie, and I'm not gonna begrudge them that. I don't see why they like it, but, y'know, that's their business. But I can't recommend this slog to anybody, not even when I factor in the bits that I really, really liked. And it's definitely one to avoid if you have certain phobias.… Expand

IroncladLanshipApr 29, 2018

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positives:
1. Visuals
I liked the visuals. The sets were nice and distinctive, the characters were well designed and distinct so I knew the differences between every character visually.
2. Characters
If you are a fan of the MCU, all of your old favorites are back from the previous movies. If you are not a fan of the MCU, the personalities of most of the characters are still charming, consistent (mostly), and realistic.
3. Acting
All of the characters were believable, and the actors really good.

Negatives:
1. Writing
Plot holes everywhere. There are many character actions and events that don't make sense and are not explained. There are many elements, plot points, and moments that go nowhere, are pointless, or are overshadowed or discarded by other elements, plot points, or moments that go nowhere or are pointless. There is a scene (and I don't count this as a spoiler) of Iron Man, Spiderman, and Dr. Strange getting into a fight started by Starlord's entourage that has no bearing on the plot and just ends in a joke. That whole scene could have been cut out of the movie and nothing would have changed (and this is why I don't consider it a spoiler). The humor doesn't rise from a situation, but rather from characters acting silly sometimes in conflict with their character.
2. Density
There is too much stuff crammed into this movie. There are so many characters and so many locations that none of them make any impact or are even focused on in any meaningful sense. Some characters don't even get their names called out at all, like Scarlet Witch. I don't think a non-marvel fan or someone who hasn't seen any of the Marvel movies in the past would ever connect with any one of these characters or even remember any of their names.
3. Nitpicks
The Villan's plan doesn't make sense, as there are a million better ways to achieve his goal with unlimited power.
Plot points are introduced and are abandoned seconds later.
Nothing is focused on.
The movie bounces around from location to location with no consistency or logic.
There are scenes made for the trailer, and some scenes in the trailer are never in the actual movie.
The character's personalities and abilities have drastically changed from one movie to another, with no reasons given. Some characters are more powerful than they were before or have abilities they didn't have access to before. Some characters are less powerful than before or have abilities taken away without explanation.
Summary:
Watch this movie if you love the characters already but don't quite remember what they can do, are extremely flexible with the movie's explanations and story, and can get past the plot holes.
Do not watch this movie if you want to see something well put together by a bunch of people who care about these characters, know their backstories and plots, and who try to avoid plot holes and form sensible explanations to the events in the movies. If you can't get past plot holes, or if you have a good amount of knowledge of these character's abilities, don't watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not everything that glitters is gold! I’d say this often to the script-writers of the past years successful SciFi franchises. I mean, not every story that ends dramatically is profound, good or emotional. You do not become a name of the universal literature if you repeated the recipe with Romeo and Juliet. Neither applauded, nor famous, even rejected by some, and, definitely, you would polarize the audience. On the other hand, you get some franchise fans who will accept you uncritically, guardians of everything that's included in the story. Look at what's happening with Star Wars.
Returning to Avengers, I see the scenario getting out of the accepted framework: they gave us 18 movies with the heroes of the Marvels universe (and movies about them) to kill them suddenly, unbalanced, easily.
The last "Avengers" resembles an episode of Dr. Who (older). I paraphrase it: in the last episode they destroyed the universe to revive it the following season.
Yes, it would seem. Although, there are some excuses for the TV series: the time crisis, the continuing production for several months (each season), the pressure of the producers, or of the heads of the TV station. The Rock-n-roll machine.

But the "Avengers" franchise had almost everything: a huge budget, PR, enormous production resources, an army in the back.
“Infinity War” is not even that movie that you can say about: is not so bad that if you take it out from the bigger story, it could be OK, but it ruins the larger universe ... No. It's a dry sum of mini-stories (for the many characters), some of them gathered together to die like fools.
I quote a friend: What's the fool, the one who wrote the screenplay or the one who laughed at the jokes of the "Guardians of Galaxy"?… Expand

In order toThis film is like raising your children perfectly, and yet, as adults, they become nasty gangsters who are arrested ten times a day. Avengers: Infinity War is a huge disappointment, a mediocre film being mistaken for a good one. In order to understand anything, you have to have followed the franchise since day one, which I unfortunately have, and enjoy CGI lots. The story is absolutely **** insane and has no logic in it whatsoever, the jokes are cringeworthy and Rocket Raccoon was the only thing that was actually funny, the action is even more cringeworthy, especially when the protagonists are battling in Wakanda and out of nowhere a deadly lawnmower comes and kills every enemy, and, sadly, the acting is terrible. Now, don't get me wrong, Josh Brolin does his best, and he wasn't terrible, it's just that Thanos isn't compelling at all and when it truly comes down to it he is just a blob of walking CGI who happens to have some sympathetic moments. This isn't because of Brolin's acting, but rather because of the direction and writing. Chris Pratt, Batista and Bradley Cooper do a good job as well, but Gamora became annoying in this film, and it didn't feel like they intended to do so. Overall, worst MCU film so far.

Disney is at it again with putting in silly one liners where they TOTALLY don't fit in. Didn't they learn from that disaster with Thor Ragna-one-liners? The CGI is bad. The villain looks like Bruce Willis is choking on a grape and his faceDisney is at it again with putting in silly one liners where they TOTALLY don't fit in. Didn't they learn from that disaster with Thor Ragna-one-liners? The CGI is bad. The villain looks like Bruce Willis is choking on a grape and his face turns purple. Bruce Banners head looked like a SUPER bad photoshop where his head looked disembodied in the fat ironman suit. Stupid movie. The battle in Wakanda is just the battle from Star Wars Episode 1. I even yelled out "starting up da shield". The bad guys had tunneling machines to go under the shield yet choose to sacrifice hundreds of dog things needlessly into the shield. Dr. Strange could made a portal around Thanos' hand and cut the glove/arm right off him, villain beaten, OR rewind time since he's the master of it with his stone. Hulk turned into a MASSIVE WUSS. Guardians were bad joke after bad joke. I could just go on and on. Save your 8 bucks for a good movie and skip this one.… Expand

I cannot see why this movie has a good rating. I cringed the entire movie from start to finish. The story is weak, the CGI very unimpressive and obvious in places. I felt ashamed of myself for watching this and gave up half way through.I cannot see why this movie has a good rating. I cringed the entire movie from start to finish.

I expected to be disappointed and I was - I hope this is the end of all superhero movies - America grow up.

They threw away the "upbeat/happy/fun formula" and instead went for milking the audience by splitting the movie into two parts. Dont expect fun or comedy from this part(which IMO is the whole point of entertainment), mostly drama, its a cliffThey threw away the "upbeat/happy/fun formula" and instead went for milking the audience by splitting the movie into two parts. Dont expect fun or comedy from this part(which IMO is the whole point of entertainment), mostly drama, its a cliff hangar but they work hard to extinguish all hope so more like a sad ending. Go see Ready Player One if you want fun.… Expand

The title should have been: Infintely long and boring fighting scenes. This is all the movie is, really terrible, totally uninsteresting.

This is all the movie is, really terrible, totally uninsteresting. I can understand if children up to 5 like it but if your brain is a little more developped you will hate this from the first minute to the last (actually the last minute is the only one you can save... but only if you wake up in time to watch it. Superheroes movies are becoming more and more unbearable, because of lack of good stories, just fighting scenes and special effects, and this one ranks among the worst. If you had the bad luck to buy an expensive ticket to watch it in cinemas you will really hate yourself for your decision and even more for having wasted two+ hours of your life...anything else, really anything, would have been a better choice.… Expand

I love the world of marvel but in this movie there is saturation of information in a very short time, it becomes tedious and boring, I lost interest in the middle of the movie.

I expected a more relaxed plot but, from start to finish I see only action fight and to thanos, a good movie with a lot of fanservice, good for marketing, the tears of thano that more forced lie, if even gamora had no affection.

I hate spoilers, but I wish somebody had spoiled this movie for me, because then I would have known to avoid watching it. I get what they were trying to do. They very artfully succeeded in accomplishing exactly what they were trying to do. I PASSIONATELY HATE WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO. An escapist fantasy movie in the MCU was not the place for it! This movie ruined everything!… Expand

What a horrible movie. I loved the Avenger movies. But, if this is the future, this was my last one. There was a absolutely no reason for the ending.

A kids' show.

Verdict: Infinity Boredom.… Expand
