I was mighty hard on Avengers: Infinity War the first time I saw it, and some of the points still stand. It's a bit boring, and some of the actors seem bored too. I still think they could have done better when it came to the story as well, but it has grown on me a little this second time around. It certainly didn't make me want to abandon the whole thing like the first time around.
Avengers: Infinity War will never be up there with the best of the MCU, but it still has a place. Easier to see that when you don't have to wait so long between MCU movies.
Let's call Avengers: Infinity War for what it is...a wasted opportunity.
Old Review with a rating of 5
Yes, Yes... it has an epic feel, and the effects are rather nice. Does that help much when you get bored 10 minutes in?
The MCU has gone downhill lately and the new(ish) Avengers bout is not an exception. The actors look somewhat bored, the action is...weird, and it makes the cardinal sin of any action movies...it's bland and boring.
If it hadn't been for the MCU continuity, I probably wouldn't have finished this one. Let's get back to origin stories and the likes. Leave the space stuff for some other Disney franchise (NOT that they've been doing better with those lately).
Anyway...I've got a couple of MCU movies I haven't seen yet. Maybe those are better. Avengers: Infinity War gets a big MEH from me...
