So many reviews talking as if the sad ending is a studio marketing decision to drum up future sequels or something. A) Read a **** comic book. B) I don't think they need help generating new movies. Expecting a happy ending in this movie would be like expecting Jesus to sprout Bat-skates at the end of The Passion and mule kick himself off the cross. All I look for anymore in MCU movies is watchable characters, escalating epicness, just a touch of thoughtful plotting, and in general a superhero story that doesn't end up strangling itself to death before my very eyes. *cough* DC. This movie does just fine on all fronts. I clearly still had my socks on when this one was over, but it all played excellently. I must say I'm growing more and more impressed with Marvel's ability to stuff some humor into every orifice of a script without it feeling excessive or off-key. Best MCU movie, though? Eh. The first Avengers is still the gold standard for plot, but Thanos certainly does set a new standard of his own for his many memorable villainousnesseses.

I have to hand it to Marvel; they didn't peter out on The Snap (hidden pun!) I actually think it's a breath of fresh air to see such a decisively unhappy finish. Is it permanent? Again, READ A F$*%ING COMIC, jeez.… Expand

My younger son keeps convincing me that it makes sense and I should understand more about the super heroes, there are some boring conversations with dark backgrounds, which put me into a glorious sleep and I had to be woken up by my wife, who was also falling asleep from time to time.

A pretty good movie with some good acting, funny moments and interesting plot twists. However the movie is a bit overstuffed and has a couple of boring subplots.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every part of this movie felt amazing, I never felt bored with this movie. At the end is the most heartbreaking moments since Hans death, Groots final words.... He said dad. That shattered my heart, and Spideys death was a very emotianal part of the movie for me. I cried in the theatre but I will see it a second time. 2 hours and 40 minutes. Most of that is action, action action action. Thats a great move in my book. I thought is was gonna be like your normal Marvel movie. But this movie, it exceeds my hype. Im proud to give this a 10… Expand

Frankly there is no need to analyze this movie.

It's not the end of the road because there is still an entrie for 2019 but it is undoubtedly the culmination of 10 years of story development and the creation of a true cinematographic universe that shares characters, worlds and events. Avengers: Infinity War had to be a huge event. A show to expose all the Marvel machinery and they did it.

Finally, it truly feels like if a comic book passed the pages and became a film. The villain responded to expectations and the action was as epic as expected. There's issues with the pacing but you have to give them credit, with so many characters and events, they really pulled it off.

Avengers: Infinity War was meant to be what it is and I think that's a good thing.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ten years in the making and worth the wait. To see the story arc finally reach this point was a genuine pleasure and overall, I found it an amazing experience and the long running time didn’t feel long enough, I wanted to see more of them.
For:
1. The heroes. The chance to see every MCU hero we have grown to know and love finally together in one film was priceless, and some of the unexpected meetings were genuinely funny and interesting to watch. I particularly enjoyed Thor meeting the Guardians and Peter’s jealous reaction.
2. Action and CGI. The action sequences are fantastic, well-orchestrated and the CGI looked great, everything appeared weighty and physical.
3. Laughs. The comedy was used to great effect despite the gravitas of some parts of the story.
4. Storyline. The gravitas was far greater than we have seen in previous MCU films and made the whole spectacle far more intense as a result.
5. Thanos. He is a great antagonist, and they gave him enough back story to let us try and comprehend his reasoning for wanting to wipe out half of the universe. His CGI was also excellent.
6. What next? The ending was profound and has left me wondering how on earth they will bring back some of the characters who I didn’t expect to die. I imagine some who’s contracts are up with the end of this film and Avengers 4 might well be out of the MCU for good, such as Loki and Heimdall for example. The effect of having the people crumble to dust was very good and added a sense of shock and despair to the events.
7. “Bring me Thanos!” Thor’s arrival in Wakanda with Rocket and Groot to turn the tide of the battle was my favourite moment.

Against:
1. Wakanda. It is a preposterous location and should not have been used for the climactic final battle. Everything concerned with it in this film and in Black Panther was a negative for the franchise. To imagine that such a technologically advanced country could exist on earth, hidden away through all of history while the African countries around it suffered generations of war, famine and exploitation is frankly ludicrous. The existence of Asgard is more plausible.
2. The final battle. Modern armed forces don’t line up in ranks like Napoleonic armies, they don’t stand there chanting like Zulus, and they don’t charge to meet a numerically superior force in Medieval style melee. They would have dug in, set up layers of defensive positions, made the space between them and the enemy a no-mans-land and mowed them down as they tried to charge in. Also, what happened to the Wakandan air power we saw in Black Panther? The alien forces seemed to have no air capability, so they could have rained down destruction on the swarming creatures. The Wakandan also had some very nice hover vehicles to deploy their troops, what about a few hovering tanks with particle cannons? I guess Steve, Bucky, Sam and Rhodey forgot all of their military training.

Even with a couple of negatives, this film is easily a ten, and I can’t recommend this film highly enough if you are an MCU fan. If you are not, then watch all the others first and then watch this one. Can't wait for Avengers 4!… Expand

The writing, visual effects, and a truly overwhelming amount of star power all make this film worthy of holding the title of reigning box office king. But my predominant thought leaving the theater was wondering who the hell could possibly follow the film's dizzying two-and-a-half hour story arc ... much less all the individual Marvel story arcs that preceded it, considering 'Infinity War' is the culmination of 18 different superhero movies. I recognized most of the actors (and most of their characters). But when you have three or four (?) different groups of heroes fighting three or four (?) different groups of baddies on three or four (?) different planets the film quickly turns into an all-you-can-eat buffet of action that, while still very appetizing, is quite a different experience than that of a neatly composed--and somewhat moderately portioned--meal.… Expand

The story of Infinity War is pretty cool and I love how important each of the characters felt for the lore. The characters themselves were great too, especially the GotG members as I do enjoy a good amount of humor in movies. The fighting going on within the movie itself led to amazing scenes where the characters actually thought up strategies. Oh, and the ending itself was pretty good, but I think it could have ended a bit better. Overall, Infinity War is such an amazing film and deserves a 10/10 from me.… Expand

The term "Avengers" used as the title of this movie is incorrect, just like Captain America "Civil War" was incorrect.

While theThe term "Avengers" used as the title of this movie is incorrect, just like Captain America "Civil War" was incorrect. This is not an Avengers movie; this was Infinity War featuring The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. While the movie's nomenclature is just a minor derailment, the movie itself is good. Action, loads and loads of CGI bombastic action. There is a plot underneath all of it and it all steers in the right direction, but it feels less like the logical conclusion to the whole MCU and more like the midway point from a sprawling RPG. You know what I'm talking about; the heroes are closing in on stopping the villain from doing whatever evil he's about to do only for something to get in the way at the very last moment and then "WHOOSH!" they fail and the bad thing happens.

In other words--Infinity War was basically the plot from the midway point of Final Fantasy 6. The acting was spot on, though some actors are begging to show their age (and perhaps their time is actually coming to a close in the MCU). One of the biggest standouts was actually Josh Brolin, which as everyone knows is just the voice of Thanos but combined with the really well-done CGI and emotive development of Thanos was able to make a truly powerful villain come to life. The only real gripe I have with the entire movie was the really lackluster post credit scene. I won't spoil it, but the delivery of the next thing to come left me with more questions than answers. Other than this, Avengers 4 has a really strong setup; I just hope they don't throw this all away.… Expand

Bringing together such a huge cast of characters from the MCU was never going to be an easy task but the Russo Brothers have done a brilliant job of ensuring that virtually everyone (aside from Hawkeye and Antman who are MIA) gets sufficient screen time. Seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy crew meet up with Thor or Iron Man and Doctor Strange fighting side by side is a dream for fans of the comics, or even just those that enjoyed these movies over the past decade. Thanos himself, a focus of a large part of this movie, is equally excellent and right from the outset comes across as a real threat to the heroes.

As with all these Marvel movies I'm sure plot holes could be found if you care to look but all in all Infinity War is an entertaining, and often very funny, movie with a real gut punch of an ending (which will admittedly in all likelihood be largely undone) and its going to be a long wait to see part 2!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Avengers:Infinity War is the culmination of several years of Marvel assembling earth's mightiest heroes. As such, the movie is founded on the MCU and moviegoers having not watched the preceding titles may struggle to keep pace with the plot and lack the levels of character attachment necessary to fully appreciate the experience. There are essentially 4 arcs that take place concurrently and begin to intertwine as the movie progresses. These subplots capture an amicable balance of wit and drama with exhilarating action scenes, the first of which I found particularly impressive. There are, however, two main criticisms that I have of the movie, each related to the plot (Disclaimer: I have not read the comics and am not familiar with the arc): firstly, there is a very inconsistent use of logic in both the heroes' decision-making and use of their powers. Secondly, the focus on Thanos to build a sense of what a powerful adversary he is was somewhat overdone (This could have easily been a Thanos-titled movie) and his brutal/merciful nature is more inconsistent rather than giving a sense of his inner turmoil. Each of these left me perplexed and frustrated after viewing the entire movie. An additional, personal criticism that I have is the MCU's new quest to make Tom Holland's Spider-man an over-zealous and non-intellectual Stark fanboy - I reduced my score for this movie by a point because I can't condone this. The movie's best feature, in my opinion, is its visuals. Having watched it in IMAX 3D, I can vouch for the fact that it is, indeed, a visual spectacle to behold. The acting is also of the highest order and engrosses the viewer, allowing some to overlook the faults I've mentioned (particularly while viewing) - and definitely making it a worthwhile to watch while it is screening in theater.… Expand

The main issues with the movie just come from the fact that there are so many characters. The pacing is inconsistent at times, not always giving each character enough screen time or enough to do. The tone can shift as well, between dark moments where the audience is meant to feel emotional, to abruptly ending the emotional moment with a gag. But for the most part, all the main characters are given good roles in the movie and characters play nicely off each other. The acting from everyone is top notch and the action scenes are some of the best in the MCU. One of the best things about the movie is Thanos, and the overwhelming danger he puts over our heroes. Villains in the MCU don't always feel like they actually are a threat, but Thanos definitely is. Not only is he a menacing villain, but he is also a well written villain with clear motivations for why he wants the infinity stones. Overall the movie is great, definitely one of the best in the MCU.… Expand

Avengers: infinity War has been 10 years in the making from easter eggs,references and hints to this very movie throughout all of the MCU and it was all worth it.The Story was well written and thorough,the cast put on good performances,theAvengers: infinity War has been 10 years in the making from easter eggs,references and hints to this very movie throughout all of the MCU and it was all worth it.The Story was well written and thorough,the cast put on good performances,the action scenes were epic,the tone of the movie was one point and it was just an awesome experience.

From the beginning of the it starts of with an intense tone,action packed and yet that contained that Marvel humor and this happens consistently throughtout the film almost near to perfection, thanks to The Russo Brothers directing this continuing their success from Captain America:Winter Soldier and Civil war.The first act was amazing as the movie introduced it's characters swiftly and didn't feel rushed at all with some clever writing and stellar action and gorgeous visual effects.Characters like Ironman.Doctor Strange,Spiderman and Thanos are great from the get go.You really felt there was a genuine danger unlike other Marvel films.

The second act continued with this momentum as you are introduced to more characters like the Guardians,Captain America and more and the movie expands on the villain's plan and motivation as Thanos was a great villain,the best marvel villain if not then at least Top 3 although his goal was to destroy half the universe which is generic,but the movie clearly explains why he wants to do so and his clear motivations,as Thanos is also intimidating and also rather emotional helped by Josh Brolin's terrific performance as Thanos so is the rest of the cast who do a good job potraying their characters,the best performances coming from Zoe Saldana,Robert Downey Jr,Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Olsen.

However since this was a very long movie the pacing was a bit slow and dragged a bit during the second act,but thankfully not too much and i have to say some of the characters from previous movies didn't get as much screen time as others like Captain America or Black Panther which is kind of disappointing their play a minor role in this big superhero film but but that's understandable as there were so many characters in this movie and The Russo Brothers did a fantastic job of balancing each one right even if it mean't some key characters didn't receive a lot of screen time.

Also i have to say some minor thing bugged me a little without spoiling to much this arc involving the Hulk and Doctor Strange which doesn't get full explanations only because it's convenient to the plot and some of the humor from the Guardians of the Galaxy characters was a bit much because of James Gunn not being majorly involved with the movie but again this doesn't ruin the movie,just some minor issues,.

Now to my favorite part of the film,the last act which was completely bonkers,the actions scenes were wonderful and looked like they came out straight from a comic book,the visuals were dazzling and story accumulated satisfyingly and there was a sense of unpredictability from the movie as the movie was dark,intense yet fun at the same time and the story was left completely wide open for Avengers 4 as it ended with a twist.

In the end i think that this is indeed one of the best comic book movies ever made for sure,the best movie of 2018 so far.It had nearly everything heartbreak,a compelling story,some unpredictability,incredible action,fun humor and more and all i have to say if the wait for this movie was totally worth it.… Expand

It's hard to critique this film in a traditional way in terms of narrative structure, knowing that all of these characters are developed beforehand in the previous MCU films, and because this movie is split in two parts. It is it's own beast! Which is either admirable or infuriating, depending on what I'm feeling on that day.

Thanos is great in this movie. Looking past the stupid design of him, the motion capture performance is great (although when he is holding a regular scaled human in his hands it looks weird at times), Josh Brolin did a great job in his role, and he is one of the best well rounded villains the MCU ever had. Sure his plan is admittingly dumb, but in terms of his conviction and even the layers of emotion, he is far more fascinating than the lesser MCU baddies (FWI, there are only five good villains in the MCU, including Thanos). The visuals are a treat to watch. It's eye candy seeing just how much is crammed in there and how much it works. From the impressive backgrounds to the scale of the action as millions of stuff flying in your face. It's almost like a Dragonball action scene done right! Of course, like the other MCU films, there are times where it looks off at times, particularly when Peter is in the Iron Spider suit and Bruce Banner in the giant Iron Hulk suit. The actions scenes, while at first hard to follow, is great thanks to the Ruso Brothers proving once again that they can do the quick cut action scenes. The acting is pretty good overall. I won't go into too much detail because that's what we've come to expect watching their own films from the individual characters. But I will say is that Zoe Saldana does not get enough credit in this and the last Guardians of the Galaxy film as Gamora.

If I were to complain, or find something at fault, is that there isn't really a strong anchor in the story. And I'm not talking about character development because well watch the other MCU films to get that, but I mean that in terms of the emotional core, it's downplayed and often rather shallow. There are reasons for what the characters are doing, but in terms of a core story-line there isn't really one, so a lot of the more important characters, like Thanos and Thor, are downplayed to the point where it's basically a movie filled with subplots. If there was a central character or even a central emotional hook, then the movie would have more investment to be a standalone story-line, rather than just scenes happening.

But for a "just scenes happening" movie, it works very well. It's not perfect, but it is an enjoyable ride if you are invested in the MCU. If you aren't...then why are you here?!… Expand

Amazing CGI scenes, good humor and decent writing - and an ending that kinda blew my mind as I never expected it to turn in this direction. 2 1/2 hours of pure fun, so many characters from so many other movies - my favourite just simply being Thanos... Idk why, but that dude is amazing! Gave the movie 10/10 - not a letdown for me... And pls ignore all these 0/10 ratings as they troll hardcore.

Besides the first encounter with Thanos on the Asgardian spacecraft, the conflicts are not strong nor captivating. Visually, the CG are good. Standard Marvel level, which makes this a good popcorn movie.

Acting-wise, not everything is trying to act here so you do not see in-depth acting chops except some occasional cheesy one-liners.

All in all, is it a good Marvel popcorn movie? Yes, for sure. Is it a good and fun movie? Not really.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Marvel Cinematic Universe recently hit the ten year milestone and for those that have not followed the popular franchise, Avengers: Infinity War marks the first time that a number of the popular characters have appeared on screen together to battle the lingering threat of Thanos. This alone makes the film worth seeing, as almost every single major character makes an appearance.

The story loosely follows the Infinity War comic series, tailoring the story to fit the MCU (as well as creatively replacing characters that Disney did not have the film rights too) and focuses on Thanos’ obsession with the Infinity Stones. The mad titan has Hitler-ish aspirations to “save” the galaxy, which involves wiping out half of it to save the remainder and is currently in possession of two of the six stones, with the remainder spread among the various realms of the MCU. While this may sound familiar if you’ve seen any of the other films in the series, what really makes this story special is the teaming up of various characters that have not appeared in the same movie previously which really adds a fun dynamic to the film. This is a bit of a double edged sword, as it makes the film a bit hard to follow at times with so much going on.

With such a huge cast, it is to be expected that some characters have more screen time than others, but I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the newer or less popular characters (Dr. Strange, Bruce Banner, Mantis, and Drax) receive more screen time. While series mainstays Captain American, Black Widow, and Falcon appear multiple times throughout, they are sidelined for much of the film, with only a few lines each. I can honestly say that Captain America’s awkward introduction with Groot is one of the funniest lines in the film. The weak link throughout is Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord, who makes a number of questionable, selfish decisions that arguably go against his scoundrel with a heart of gold character the previous films built upon.

Up until this point, I hated Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Hated isn’t even a strong enough word to describe my feelings towards him, as I was a huge fan of Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of the character and felt a bit betrayed as a fan when Sony cut his trilogy short in favor of rebooting the franchise with the new actor. On this outing, Spider-Man really steals the show, with his Iron Spider suit that was only teased at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming joining the mix. Holland’s third time as the wall crawler marks him finally hitting his stride, adding some much needed comedic relief to this film, which was needed to even out the darker tone.

While the acting is simply stunning on all fronts, the writing is a bit lackluster at times. Some of the more recent Marvel films have seemed to shoehorn comedic tones into the films when not really needed, which I believe was partially due to the success of The Guardians of the Galaxy. This has been hit or miss; this go around, the writing lets the smartass quips flow naturally from the characters known for them and rarely feels forced. Dave Bautista’s Drax, no doubt a fan favorite in the vein of Groot after this appearance, is simply hilarious anytime he’s on screen.

The laughs come often, but by the end of the film most fans will be stoic, if not crying due to the overly bleak ending. The body count is staggering to say the least, with many major characters being removed from the equation. Sure, this is a comic book movie where they could and probably will bring most if not all of the characters back, but I have not been this torn on an ending since The Walking Dead introduced Negan.

If you are hyped about the film, you’ve likely seen most (if not all) of the MCU’s other ventures. While many of the past films are enjoyable as standalone experiences, Infinity War requires you to see most of the previous movies to fully understand the narrative and all of its moving pieces. Because of this it might lose some of the younger viewers, as my five year old struggled throughout the film despite it being rather action packed and quick to the point. The fight scenes are all well done and the sheer size of the climax rivals the enormous battles from The Lord of the Rings films. I found the various forms of the Iron Man suits to be a bit overused, as there are a whopping four versions counting War Machine, Iron Man (with his new nano-somethingorother suit that looks more like Venom-like symbiote than Venom does in the new movie trailer), Spider-Man, and a fourth surprise character (you can probably figure this out by the trailer alone, but I won’t spoil it).

If you’ve been following the MCU, this is what ten years of work has lead up to and absolutely worth the wait and countless hours invested in the franchise, for both those involved in the film making process and viewers alike. I am just saddened that it’ll be another year before we can see what the next Avenger’s tale has in store for us.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is very good. To some extent it's even brave, for the choice of a rather gloomy development, seeding very interesting elements for the next episodes.

Cons: - It's a Marvel crossover. whoever reads the comics knows already pros and cons of this. Like the random unnecessary reintroduction of well forgotten characters. And the chaos. And the fact that no one dies in the Marvel Universe.
- Good story but slow pace (similarly to Avengers 2).
- Some minor story choices. Especially the Thor subplot: quite long and ultimately unecessary; every cool element introduced in Ragnarok is actually ignored here.
- the mind stone: i mean what is it? it's the only infinity stone not seen in action.

Pros: - Thanos. This movie is about him. I loved it. Even stretching his motives - quite different from the comic - he remains both mad and rational. very well developed.
- Gamora. Finally some development of her character, after the disappointment of Guardian of the Galaxy 2.
- Badass fightings: especially everything involving Spiderman and Doctor Strange, and Thor.
- The time stone: doctor Strange has concocted something!
- The soul stone: maybe the best part of the plot.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, it's an enjoyable watch. The Russo brothers really pulled it off by splitting the movie into different subplots that all come together in the end. I believe there is no other way they could have made this movie as good as it is. However, it does suffer from an overabundance of characters. Most of them are filler and serve no purpose other than fighting Thanos or his servants. The plot is a little too convoluted and it's hard to follow the story. Otherwise, it's a good addition to the MCU and has a very impressive ending… Expand

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

But is it any good? Yes. In fact, it’s great. A satisfying and fun adventure bringing together over 70 different heroes from the last 18 years, The Russo Brothers’ first of two brain-children has everything you might expect - popcorn-friendly action, witty dialogue, and an epic, character-driven story. But, what Infinity War includes throughout its story that many modern blockbusters lack - emotion - is what’s truly amazing. For the first time in years, the characters and their decisions have emotional weight to them. Their relationships with one another, including their interactions, have more meaning this time around, which is incredibly refreshing. This is in part because of Thanos, who is now easily the best villain in the MCU. The writing for his character is clever and powerful, and still manages to include the one liners and actions that only the baddest of baddies can pull off. The depth in which his backstory is explored is surprising, and definitely elevated the experience. With all of this said, though, it’s not a perfect film. The editing between the many locations is slightly out of control and messy, especially within the first half-hour. Some of the characters’ actions and decisions feel contrived, mostly for an emotional twist or moment. Also, the clashing of tones between the different locations and groups of Avengers feel odd and, again, messy. But these issues don’t ruin the film at all, and, honestly, are forgettable once the third act begins. The expansive set-pieces that make up the finale are immensely satisfying to watch, and the ending, though a bit bizarre, brilliantly sets up for the sequel. The performances throughout are terrific, and not one actor can be pinpointed as the best. All of the actors are firing on all cylinders, and the emotional moments work solely because of them. All in all, Infinity War is the most surprising and satisfying film so far this year, and arguably, as of now, the best story told in the MCU. If only 2019 could come sooner...… Expand

Unlike any other film in history, "Avengers: Infinity War" (Or Avengers 3 if you exclude the other Marvel films), is unique in that it is not trying to tell us the kind of story we're by nature expected and conditioned for. Over the pastUnlike any other film in history, "Avengers: Infinity War" (Or Avengers 3 if you exclude the other Marvel films), is unique in that it is not trying to tell us the kind of story we're by nature expected and conditioned for. Over the past hundred decades of film, let alone other dramatic works, American film-goers are used to going into a film and seeing a first, second and third act. We need time to establish characters. Without clear defined characters that the audience will come to care for as the film progesses, the audience loses interest in them no matter how high the "stakes are raised". This simple, tried and true film structure is not necessary in 2018 when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a decade Marvel Studios has managed to build a universe populated with dozens upon dozens of characters, spread across nearly 20 films and know and beloved individually by a seemingly unending growing of fans.

Instead we are treated to a film told with a new story structure. Now this alone is nothing new. The French New Wave's lackadaisical, emotional, free-form films to the horror and turn on a dime, maze like structures, have presented us Americans with plenty of wonderful other less conventional approahces as have of course American film-makers (think the Star Wars trilogy applying this structure across 3 films to Harry Potter's 7 film run); this film has no need to establish any of its characters save one: its villain.

And what a villain is Thanos? Probably the first to arguably steal the show on the level of Jack Nicholson's Joker (though Marvel's Disney's sheen robs the character and films tone of the darker touches necessary to top Heath Ledger's take, while the damage these two iconic comic villains do is incomparable, Nolan's Batman trilogy is a good reminder of how stakes can be as large or small as one wants, so long as time is spent establishing them. So here we find our films two thru lines. The story of Thanos, the Mad Titan, an unstoppable being seeking the ultimate MacGuffin. One in which he will be given powers over... well, everything. [NOTE]: This is show in terrifying detail and small kiddos should not see this film. If your child is under 10 and sensitive and in love with these characters, make sure they're prepared to handle death. Now before I be charged with spoiling anything, I do not mean to say that anyone dies in this film. However, the threat of death looms over every scene our various heroes are in. Over 40 some characters, all well known to fans who have seen all films; or simply beautiful to behold to new viewers. If you have seen the prior 2 Avengers movies you will be able to follow this film. A follow up will arrive in roughly one year and deal with the aftermath the wrecking ball that is Thanos has left in his wake and whether or not this story is over and our chance to see how Marvel handles stakes going forward.

So how does this tale of two stories intertwined hold up on the screen? Quite well. The familiarity with the characters reminded me of my first time watching "The Two Towers" and instantly knowing who was who in more complex world than most we're presented with in the traditional 2 hours a film has to tell is story. What is surprising about Avengers: Infinity War is that it could also be called "Thanos". The heroes appear around him--they certainly must deal with him--but this character steals the show and I loved every second of this very long film. James Brolin deserves all credit for carrying this film which would otherwise have been nothing but a series of B-plots reducing our heroes tale to mere fan-service scenes (a problem the rushed Avengers 2 suffered from), although the core cast remain tremendous even when they're mostly given little to do but stand in awe, fight and hurt. The introduction of the Guardians of the Galaxy appears out of nowhere--literally--though they prove a welcome (if frustrating) addition. On the one hand their presence is necessary to cross our heroes tale with Thanos in a manner beyond mere CGI armies clashing as they perennially do. Instead, their members give us an emotional component to both our heroes and Thanos in enough of a way to justify their appearance. That said, event movie goers unfamiliar with the Marvel films will struggle most following their thru-lines and relationships.

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

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

That being said, I really enjoyedI will preface this by stating that I am normally not a fan of Marvel movies. They often contain nonchalant humor at inappropriate times along with redundant plots that have no imagination behind them. That being said, I really enjoyed Infinity War. I wasn't ever a reader of comic books, so I won't judge this movie for its portrayal of the comic stories. As a movie it had an interesting plot that separated itself from other Marvel movies. The fact that the infinity stones are the central focus of the movie create the Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter effect where its not simply a battle between good and evil, but rather a race to obtain or prevent consolidated power. While it seems nearly every Marvel movie revolves around saving the universe from a dire threat, the feeling is real in infinity war, as you are given an idea of the power of the stones early on. Throughout the film there were good twists, emotional moments, and some actually well timed humor that all cumulated in an epic ending that set up a sequel film perfectly. Josh Brolin as Thanos made the movie. He is easily the best Marvel villain in any of the movies. Not only was Josh Brolin's acting outstanding, but the writers made him a complex character. Rather than portraying him as a holistically evil being set out to kill everyone, they explained the reasoning behind his beliefs and even made him an emotionally conscious character. As far as the other actors, Tom Holland is outstanding as Spider-Man, and the rest of the Avengers are essentially the usual performances.
My problems with the movie mainly focus around my usual complaints with Marvel movies, although to a lesser degree in this one. While not riddled with out-of-place, nonchalant humor, there was some that made my eyes roll during the middle of intense action scenes. The beginning, while action-packed, was a little sloppy in terms of getting all of the characters involved (obviously this is a huge crossover movie though, so I wasn't that surprised). My biggest problem with this movie was the fact that there were some scenes that seemed unnecessary (an obvious example is within Thor's story arc), and either dragged the film out longer than needed, or stole screen time from other scenes that could've been more improving.
Overall, it was very well done and very enjoyable, and I would highly recommend this movie to everyone!… Expand

10 years of Marvel everyone. No words can describe this, like wow. Thinking back to the first Iron Man and now where things have escalated into, it’s insane. While I can be a bit iffy with"Dread It. Run from it. Destiny still arrives."

10 years of Marvel everyone. No words can describe this, like wow. Thinking back to the first Iron Man and now where things have escalated into, it’s insane. While I can be a bit iffy with superheroes movies, but now I realize how this type of genre played a bigger part in my life than before. But now Infinity War, the film those 10 years have hyped and prepared us for has finally arrived, and...holy sh*t.

The Russo Brothers did the impossible by making every aspect that many people, including myself thought could down vote the movie for the worse, but manage surpass my worries and made a grand spectacle of excitement and sadness. Making sure every hero has they moment to shine and not be pushed to the background. I mean, these characters are so different from each other, especially the movies they originally came from, but not once felt out of place when sharing screen time. However, you can’t watch this has a single film, because you will have no idea what’s going on or who’s who. Please make sure to watch the other movies before this, as there is so many story lines going on in this movie it’s absurd, but at the same time amazes me how well handled it was. This may not be an easy thing to pull off - The Russo Brother did it without a sweat.

The action sequences is wild and beyond epic. The Wakanda battle scene is more crazy than the plot itself. The superhero team ups were all enjoyable, but Thor, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon are the main highlights. Some of the best one liners and dynamic character interactions came from those three. Strangely enough (no pun intended) Doctor Strange was more entertaining and cool in this than his own movie. The back and forward between him and Tony are pure gold. People have pointed out how similar they are, in terms of characterization, in reality are completely different from each other.

Now let's talk about the big guy who’s been hyped up since the first Avengers film - The Mad Titan Thanos. I ain't gonna beat around the bush when I say this - he is one of the best villains in the MCU. You see, Thanos wants to save the universe from extinction by killing half of it, this bringing it into balance. Utterly insane but makes sense. Just how he enters a scene with his eyes scanning the area like predator looking for its prey, stopping in his tracks and a devilish grin suddenly appear on his face, which says a lot without words. The visual effects on Thanos is the most realistic CGI renderization ever. To the point of forgetting you’re watching a CGI character. It's scary good. Also he throws a planet. A PLANET. While his presence is menacing and poetic by the way he speaks, but also the most emotional villain yet, with perfect development and depth. Like when was the last time you saw a villain in these type of movies literally start to cry, and I cried with him. He is given a lot of screen time which helps to flesh out the character. Josh Brolin delivers an excellent performance and brought so much to the table in terms of emotional range.

Marvel track record with previous villains has been pretty bad, but phrase three have shown a lot of improvements. Not just the villains, but the beautiful shots and having this colorful energy finally gives it more style. The film’s runtime is two and a half hours, and not once do you feel it. The pace is always moving and there’s no time to breathe. The stakes are higher and there’s real consequences. You fear for the heroes for once as your not sure how things are gonna turn out.

Of course you should be expecting a lot of deaths, not just supporting characters, main characters. Don’t worry I won’t spoil anything, you’re safe with me. Just be prepared for the emotional punches - however I wasn't expecting how well balanced it was alongside the humor. There’s a lot of humor and don’t let that put you off from thinking it doesn't have it’s dark elements, because it does, just being miserable throughout can sometimes be an empty experience.

My only issues were some effects looked a bit unfinished and some of the humor dragged the pacing down a bit. At times losing focus. Peter Dinklage is a great actor, but he isn't great in this and I have no idea what accent he’s putting on. It’s also weird seeing a dwarfish actor playing a giant, just funny to me.

Other than those issues, this is a real game changer for Marvel and I can’t wait to see what happens next. At the moment, it's my 4th favorite Marvel film. It's exciting and shocking, yet never hopeless.

Overall Rating: That ending...… Expand

Each character fits their part. It makes it so it’s hard to imagine anyone else playing them, they are that good. The story is what makes the movie the best Marvel movie yet. They added a great villain, Thanos is a real threat to everyone. In the previous Avengers I think the villains weren’t as theatening (Loki and Ultron). The movie is set in many different areas of our world and beyond, which I think is exciting because we get to see new and returning places like never before. The beginning of the movie is action packed and exciting enough to keep my attention. The middle is even better. They fit the characters in with each other and it doesn’t take away from the movie. The middle has a lot of great storytelling and action. The ending was the best part though. They wrapped up the movie and I still wanted more. They had epic fights, while the story kept on going and didn’t slow down. The movie was two and a half hours and I still wanted to see more. That says a lot about how much I liked it.

Infinity War should've been a mess considering all it needed to encompass. However, the Russo brothers, Marvel and Disney somehow pull off a monumental feat in delivering a stellar culmination of the universe they built. It's a movie thatInfinity War should've been a mess considering all it needed to encompass. However, the Russo brothers, Marvel and Disney somehow pull off a monumental feat in delivering a stellar culmination of the universe they built. It's a movie that manages to be more than just the sum of its parts, and exceeded every expectation I had going into it. Is it perfect? No. But a 10/10 doesn't mean "perfect," or that there are no issues. It simply means that the enjoyment it delivers is a close as one can reasonably hope for, and that the flaws aren't significant enough to detract from all the great aspects and fun it brings.

The movie never crumbles under its own weight, and it manages to never lose sight of what it wants to be. The genius behind it is the villain, Thanos, is the main character, and the Avengers (and all other MCU characters) are setup as obstacles he must overcome. This is HIS movie, make no mistake. And Brolin's acting and charisma shine through, despite the CGI nature of the character. Speaking of CGI, it's on another level of impressive, as Thanos not only looks real, but actually as if he's occupying the same space as his counterparts. There is actual weight to him, unlike many floaty, unnatural looking CGI characters in other films (like Black Panther). There's no disconnect from reality when Thanos is present, which if done improperly, could've ruined the movie.

And despite some reviews whining about their favorite character not getting enough screen time, I found no issues in that area. The character development is based primarily around Thanos, and his character arc is the focus. There are 18 other MCU movies that focused on developing our protagonists, and Infinity War doesn't hold your hand with contrived, meaningless time-wastes, just there to introduce characters for the first time to those who may not have seen any of the prior films. The movie is already 2 hours & 40 minutes, why dumb down the product when the large majority are familiar enough with the characters to fully grasp what they're viewing? All major players get their time to shine, as do many of the minor and less popular ones do. Anyone who feels there's too much going on, or that there's too much to follow clearly were focused on other things instead of watching the movie. The premise is simple - Thanos is traversing the universe gathering the infinity stones which will give him nearly unlimited power, and the Avengers want to stop him. That's it. Every scene in the movie is based around that premise. Whether we're in New York watching Doctor Strange & Iron Man take on one of his minions, off in space with Thor, Rocket & Groot trying to forge a new weapon to stop Thanos, or in Wakanda trying to make a stand against Thanos's army who are attempting to take the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead, it's all about the heroes planning, defending, and attempting to stop Thanos from achieving his goals.

Lastly, it'd be a disservice not to mention the emotions, interactions and gravity Infinity War successfully brings to the table. There are laugh out loud moments, thrilling moments, tense moments, sad moments, and moments where you're left in awe. Yes, there's humor (most of it in the first half of the film), but it's not even close to "forced," as some MCU movies have been guilty of. It's fluid, organic and right in line with the characters delivering the laughs. Spider-Man, Drax, Star Lord, Iron-Man, Rocket...those characters SHOULD inject humor from time to time, as that is their nature in the comics. Gamora, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, etc. are the more serious ones who anchor their counterparts to reality. It's as it should be, and it's why "forced," is not an adjective that would apply to this film in any way.

The ending does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but more so in the way that you are left wondering "what comes next?" and "how will this affect our heroes going forward?" Make no mistake, there are real consequences, and when Avengers 4 comes out next year, it will not simply do a 180 and go back to status quo (like many internet-experts believe). The only real question is how far will they go with the permanence? If you believe the Russo Brothers, quite further than people want to believe. TL;DR - Fantastic movie. The Star Wars saga of the new generation. Kids growing up in the era of the MCU will look back and remember Iron-Man, Thor, the Hulk, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. like those from the 70's-90's grew up feeling about Luke, Han, Leia & Vader. It's a celebration of all that has come before it, and a success in what they set out to do 10 years ago. Sadly, we have to wait a year for it to reach its conclusion. 10/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
Had some great visual effects, Phanos was great as a villain (Even though he did stuff that was horrible, I could understand why he did it), it was very different from other Marvel movie or movies in general, I also really enjoyed Thor as a character (He was funnier, more tragic and all around better)

Neutral:
The music worked but it was nothing I really remembered

Cons: Some effects were awful (I don't want to spoil but there were 3 completely CGI characters that looked awful, The jokes were pretty bad (Nothing cringy but still bad. There were mostly jokes that I knew were jokes but didn't react to and a few good ones sprinkled in there) But my biggest problem with the movie was that I had to watch every single Marvel movie after Avengers 2 to understand what was happening (especially Thor: Ragnarok). A movie should be able to stand on their own. Yes there can be a few story elements that has to do with another movie, but there were so many things I didn't understand about the movie because I didn't see thor

But all-around it was a pretty good movie

The narrative is relatively straightforward (the Avengers & co. must stop Thanos from acquiring all the Infinity Stones) and never once does the film seem to drag, a miracle given the number of characters involved. I have two main criticisms of the film: first, I found many characters to be underutilized (Black Panther, Steve Rodgers, Bruce Banner, among others), and second, I thought the entire subplot of Thor crafting his new weapon to defeat Thanos to be trite and silly (giant Peter Dinklage did not help). I was not a fan of some of the strange tonal shifts throughout the film. However, despite its flaws, IW is a very entertaining movie that pretty much any fan of the superhero genre will enjoy. It relies heavily on its audience having seen the previous Marvel films, so if you're new to the Marvel scene, I'd suggest watching the back catalogue first before diving in.… Expand

Also the beginning made zero sense no intro no structure whatsoever. Well it was better than Ultron at least. Also wtf was the Black Order so weak in the film? How come Dr. Strange was weak?

-direction (courtesy of the Russo bros) is one of the best ever in an MCU movie.
-the villain is a vicious mass murderer who, in a humanly manner, cries so wonderfully you won't believe it.

I could go on and on, pointing out many aspects of this wonderful movie, but I'd end up spoiling it.

My only gripe is that Infinity War's story is a big cliffhunger and it doesn't resolve much by the time the end credits roll. It just sets the stage for the Avengers sequel due for release in 2019. But even on its own, Infinity War has plenty of style and substance for the audience.… Expand

This is literally the best comic book movie ever made. The amount of emotions going through me for 3 hours was insane!! This is not a standalone film but a culmination of 10 years of growing up with these characters where every character has a certain liking and depth to them that the viewer holds before they appear in the movie. In order to appreciate this movie to it's fullest I have to say you must have watched all 18 that have come before. Only then can you walk out of the theatre as satisfied as I've felt.

On the one hand, it's a well made film. You can feel the passion that went into this magnificent beast of a film and I do mean beast. This is where we transition to the other hand as this movie is large in every sense of the word. While the length didn't bother me in the slightest (seriously where DID those 2 and a half hours go?) the amount of characters in the movie can be a problem. The problem being that there's very little character development, unsurprisingly as there are something like 24 main characters, and I won't lie, this makes the movie feel ever so slightly hollow. Some characters also end up feeling unimportant and in some cases this feels a little shocking. Even some major players feel like they didn't get their time to shine. Returning to the positive, there is some benefit as well being that these are all fantastic characters so there's never a dull moment.

Being a huge fan of the MCU Infinity War was a glorious payoff. Seeing some of my favourite characters of all time interact all together for the first time was incredible. Each faction the characters were broken off into felt well thought out and implemented to great success. For the most part character meetings and back and forth dialogue felt very natural.

Infinity War's connections to the rest of the MCU felt sporadic to me. It seemed as though it connected where it wanted to and ignored things it didn't want to deal with. For the parts it didn't connect, I assume they couldn't find an effective way to do so so it was probably for the best that they were not brought up anyway. Still, one event that should have held weight is not referenced even once. The movie seems to deal with characters better than events when it comes to connections.

In summary, this is a fun, exciting, well crafted movie that mostly lives up to expectations. Definitely one of my favourites. Now I promised I won't spoil anything, but, whoooo that ending! What a powerful, beautiful, unexpected way to go out! For years since they announced this movie I puzzled about how it could possibly end, but, now that I've seen it, I don't think it could have ended any other way.… 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

I loved how it “perfectly balanced” humor with serious parts and with action scenes. This film definitely lived up to my expectations and was worth the wait. I only have two gripes against the latest from MARVEL. My first: Throughout the whole film, the Hulk was so annoying (I won’t tell you why because then I’ll have to check the “hide review” box). In addition to this, I felt the Movie could have been over so much faster if the characters had not done what they did at some point in the movie. That being said, Infinity War felt neither too long nor too short and this might be one of my favorites from MARVEL yet (second to Captain America: Civil War). Thanks for reading and Thor Rules!!… Expand

This is an important movie that will leave a lasting effect on the industry. Marvel Studios' cinematic universe is proof that love and attention to detail will always produce quality entertainment. Love it or hate it, this style of movie-making has undeniably given us an incredible number characters and connected stories that we now love. Ten years of build up gives us an appreciation and connection with these characters that no other film has even come close to. Sure, sequels have been a thing for many years, but never to this scale. No other movie franchise has made me feel the way I did while watching Infinity War. It is truly an experience I'll never forget.… Expand

Now there are a TON of characters in this movie and they are all given at least a share of screen time, enough to warrant their inclusion in the movie. Each part of the movie felt important to the overall story and they've set us up very well for the second part, due out Spring of next year. I personally like it more then Age of Ultron and right about where the first movie was all those years ago. It's clear thought that the MCU is nowhere even close to slowing down. It'll just be very interesting to see how they go from here....… 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

Not a perfect movie, but only by a hair’s width. This movie is a reward for seeing all the previous MCU movies. If you missed them, you will find this movie confusing, but I think they were counting on it during development.
Avengers areNot a perfect movie, but only by a hair’s width. This movie is a reward for seeing all the previous MCU movies. If you missed them, you will find this movie confusing, but I think they were counting on it during development.
Avengers are established, no background required. And all the exposition go to .... Villain. Finally an all around complex and proper villan I am talking disney classic villain level of villain. He makes this movie great, I actually think that he can be considered the main character of the movie and all the Avengers are the obstacles he is overcoming, not the other way around, and it works!!!
So much is happening all the time but he is there in the center, like an anchoring stone around which it all revolves.

That is not to diminish the humor in this movie, I can recall a joke being flat and there is lots of them. And lots of style, there is IM humor GotG humor, Spider man humor, all consistent all fitting.

While I dont want to oversell it, to make somebody overxcited. But this, was the most entertaining/ engaging movie I have seen in a Loooong loooong time.… Expand

I'm surprised they didn't just have them throw stones at Thanos - who actually had a point about overpopulation. Everyone else comes across as entirely unaware, unintelligent and it is so disappointing. I expected better, much better. Some individual performances by some of the actors were great, the others didn't really get a chance to shine with so little screen time. the effects, sets, costumes and stunts were all great as well. The story was the problem.… Expand

Everyone is talking about the scale of the movie and how difficult it was to engage all the characters in a single plot. That is all true and is executed brilliantly. this is the best Avenger movie with lots of entertainment and surprising twists.
