I just love it so much. The definition of EPIC.
I can see why people consider this the best MCU movie, and it does have a lot of great moments, good pacing, lotsa action, and somehow mixes multiple characters while still having soild story ending on a depressing note.
I have a few major issues though:
-The humor, I REALLY hate most of MCU's overuse of quips and "teehee im dumb" humor (especially Drax). This wasnt the worst case of MCU humor but had enough to anger me
-The pacing while good was arguably TOO fast, we don't have enough time to sit with characters since we're constantly changing perspectives without much character development
Still love this movie... but the one thing that really bothers me: Wong cuts of the arm of one of Thanos' sycophants by making a portal... why not just do that to Thanos himself? Cut of the arm with the glove and be done with it.
V good but my arse was numb cos it was really long but it was also bitter sweet :/
Another marvel movie from the timeline
Always an entertaining watch, but I’m lowkey desensitized to everyone dying now because I’ve seen it so many times :cowboy:
just watched guardians of the galaxy volume 3 couple days ago and i'm feeling nostalgia, done another round of volume 2 and 1, got some :popcorn:popcorns:popcorn: ready for infinity war and endgame and maybe even :bee:ant-man and the wasp quantumania:ant:
Unmatched. The best MCU project if it had lasting consequences.
This movie (together with Endgame) killed the superhero movie genre. This movie was just too good. Every superhero movie after Infinity War feels bland, boring, empty. It feels like we've seen it all already. New superheroes show up, but they are more of the same, stuff that we have seen already.
RIP superhero movies. 2008-2018.
Infinity War is a gripping and intense movie that takes the Marvel Cinematic Universe to new heights. The film features an all-star cast and seamlessly weaves together multiple storylines into a cohesive and engaging plot. The action sequences are well-choreographed and visually stunning, and the film's villain, Thanos, is one of the most complex and compelling villains in the MCU. The movie's ending is shocking and heartbreaking, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next installment.
Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of a decade of Marvel Cinematic Universe films, bringing together all of the heroes to face off against the formidable Thanos (Brolin) as he seeks to collect all of the Infinity Stones and gain the power to destroy half of the galaxy. The Russo brothers have managed to pull off an epic, enjoyable, and engaging film despite the daunting task of cramming so much into one movie. While there are pacing issues, some subpar CGI, and characters who are underutilized, the stakes are raised and the film boasts a villain worthy of greatness in Thanos. The performances from Hemsworth, Downey Jr., Saldana, and Brolin are standouts and the action scenes are well-choreographed. The story may feel rushed at times, but the third act delivers in a big way. Despite some flaws, Avengers: Infinity War is an emotional, thrilling, and epic experience that leaves audiences on the edge of their seats.
Avengers: Infinity War es la culminación de una década de películas de Marvel Cinematic Universe, que reúne a todos los héroes para enfrentarse al formidable Thanos (Brolin) mientras busca recolectar todas las Infinity Stones y obtener el poder de destruir la mitad de la galaxia. Los hermanos Russo han logrado realizar una película épica, agradable y atractiva a pesar de la abrumadora tarea de incluir tanto en una película. Si bien hay problemas de ritmo, algunos CGI deficientes y personajes que están infrautilizados, las apuestas aumentan y la película cuenta con un villano digno de grandeza en Thanos. Las actuaciones de Hemsworth, Downey Jr., Saldana y Brolin son sobresalientes y las escenas de acción están bien coreografiadas. La historia puede sentirse apresurada a veces, pero el tercer acto se entrega a lo grande. A pesar de algunos defectos, Avengers: Infinity War es una experiencia emocional, emocionante y épica que deja al público al borde de sus asientos.
This movie was the beginning of the end for some beloved characters. This movie held nothing back in preparing us for what was to come.
So close to the final movie... I love it!
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Watched this again and appreciate even more that the filmmakers concluded this in such a dark fashion. I know it's just a "Part One", but still, its ending is a stunner.
Imagine for a moment, a future where Disney experiences financial difficulties and shuts down Marvel Studios, making this the last of the MCU films. This scenario would provide "Avengers: Infinity War" with the single most devastating and shocking ending in cinematic history.
I've been very critical of the lack of danger and consequences in Superhero movies. But not this time. This ending was dark. There was no snatching victory from the jaws of defeat to be had.
People in my theater sat in stunned silence as the credits rolled. I gleefully laughed. Finally, a tent-pole movie with balls.
Unfortunately, it's not really an ending. If it were, I guarantee people would never stop talking about it. But nothing popular ever ends because companies can sell more tickets, toys and ads.
I'm rating this higher than it deserves and pretending for now that this is the last MCU movie.
BRAVO BRAVO THIS MASTERPIECE IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AMAZING PHENOMENAL FANTASTIC SPECTACULAR AND SOMETHING VERY VERY SPECIAL INDEED AND IT'S A PRIVILEGE AND A HONOUR TO HAVE HAD IT SET UP AND CREATED IN MY LIFETIME.
WOW...JUST...WOW....
IT'S ICONIC AND IT'S EPIC ON EVERY LEVEL AND THEN SOME. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE SECOND BEST MOVIE EVER MADE WITH ONLY
AVENGERS ENDGAME
TO TOP IT AND TAKE FIRST PLACE. THESE 2 EPIC MASTERPIECES ARE NOT JUST THE BEST EVER MCU MOVIES EVER MADE BUT THE 2 BEST MOVIES EVER MADE PERIOD.
THIS UNDERTAKING HAS NEVER BEEN ATTEMPTED ON SCREEN BEFORE AND DISNEY MARVEL PULLS IT OFF PERFECTLY. EVERY SINGLE HERO GETS THERE TIME TO SHINE AND NOBODY IS LEFT OUT ARE PUSHED TO THE SIDE. THIS MOVIE IS OPERATING ON A HOLE OTHER LEVEL, HONESTLY I'M IN AWE FROM START TO FINISH AND TO SAY IT'S A 2H 40M MOVIE YOU DO NOT FEEL ANY OF IT ON THE CLOCK.
NO WORDS CAN GIVE IT ENOUGH CREDIT ON
HOW SUPER AWESOME THIS MOVIE IS AND EVERYONE INVOLVED DESERVES A DAMN OSCAR.
I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I WILL SAY TO FINISH GOD I LOVE THIS UNIVERSE SO MUCH AND HOW EVERY SINGLE THING IS CONNECTED.
AND IT CONTINUES TO EXPAND
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RATE THIS
SO I WILL END IT WITH A
INFINITY/10

So I decided to do a marathon and watch all movies in a row…
The movie is really great I love that unlike most marvel movies doesn’t have a joke every 3 minutes… Also it gets dark at sometimes but mixes well with previous movies like with Guardians…
Would have been a 10 but:
-1 because of “Hulk”

Aw yeah! This is happenin!
Dr strange giving up the stone wrecked it for me
"Infinity War" shares directors with the last couple of Captain America movies. "Winter Soldier" was an interesting attempt at making something darker and mature, but didn't feel much like a superhero movie. "Civil War" had a stronger superhero taste and a bigger sense of scale, but struggled at managing such a vast cast and finding internal coherence. "Infinity War" learned the lesson from both movies, and despite the action sequences in the second half feeling a little too overblown for my taste, I think they finally found the right coordinates for this kind of fanservice crossovers.
The plot has its obvious limits with many choices of the characters not making sense, but it manages to bring together radically different worlds without getting too convoluted. It's obviously meant to resonate with fans who have spent the last ten years following the saga, but it should be easy enough to follow for newcomers as well. You just have to accept that the power balance can't be consistent with what we have been seeing up to this point. Invincible heroes like Vision or Hulk are often put on the same level as everyone else, powers that the characters used in previous movies get conveniently forgotten, etc.
Thanos is definitely the most threatening presence in the saga so far, but that's mostly due to the mediocre competition rather than his own merits. His internal conflicts and ideology are fascinating, but I'm not sure his plan actually made sense in the first place.
rewatched this one today and this movie it's quite well balanced between the storyline and a pinch of humor... although it can be extremely painful to watch (after wandavision) it's a good movie btw. In my opinion, it's better than endgame only bc of some endings that some characters had on the movie... I think ya'll know what I'm talking about
10/10 for sure... it's a good introduction and it's well connected with the previous movies.
finally got round to seeing this and it's a hot mess, lacklustre action sequences that resort to fast cuts, some dodgy cgi head replacements (for a multi million $ movie!) but above all else it is just boring, you get the feel every scene just yelled "action" with the wooden performances of the cast, the art direction is not really existent except for the few completely CGI shots around Thanos with sunsets.
The plot is just a really poor example of send villains to do work, realise villains don't have any character building or backstory only to teleport the main villain into the fight at the end (which he could have done all along).
Honestly the film is just for people who like flashy lights but there are a million other dross flashy films and I expected more from a film with this sort of budget and acting pedigree.
The best Marvel has to offer
Perfect. Not a single boring second.
I really enjoyed this movie. Thumbs up!
Almost the perfect marvel movie. Well worth the watch and many watches after that. Josh Brolin absolutely nails his role as Thanos.
The best avengers movie and great finale!
This is exactly the sorta thing I want from an Avengers film! Full blown, no punches pulled action. In that regard, it's an outstanding watch!
Despite knowing practically little about the MCU up until a few weeks ago, I still knew this was a film that was going to see - so to speak - excrement hit the fan... and boy did it! It's a great ride.
Like 'Captain America: Civil War' did, 'Avengers: Infinity War' does an incredible job at juggling the gargantuan number of characters. It's ridiculous, but totally awesome, how many faces we see appear again. I thought they got the screen time for all, more or less, down to a T. Not an easy job, that.
Speaking of the cast, it's Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Josh Brolin who stand out most in my memory. Them three are excellent, especially the latter. Away from those lot, it's very cool to see all the other worlds - including from 'Doctor Strange' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' - come together into one film. As for new additions, there aren't many - Peter Dinklage being the pick.
There are many references that I had already become aware of just via the internet, so it was quite amusing seeing them all unfold here and there. The effects looked great to me, as they have basically all the way up until this point of the MCU. The comedy is good again, also.
Needless to say, I can't wait to see 'Avengers: Endgame'!
– Thanos is coming! He is coming.
– ...Who?
:thumbsup:
Too easy. Take my money and my fandom.
THE WACPINE OF 'AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR'
WRITING: 8
ATMOSPHERE: 9
CHARACTERS: 10
PRODUCTION: 10
INTRIGUE: 10
NOVELTY: 9
ENJOYMENT: 9
The Good:
You know you’re in for a good ride when the Russo brothers give us the film’s main villain in a fistfight with the Hulk and Thor within the opening minutes of the feature.
Josh Brolin steals the show here. Even with so many amazing performances from the entire cast, Josh Brolin kills it with his iconic, menacing and memorable turn as Thanos, one of the finest film villains in history. He is also the main character of this film.
Infinity War expertly utilizes its broad roster of heroes and villains in a series of exhilarating action sequences, without forgetting all the banter, humour and drama in between. Unlike Endgame, however, which is truly deep superhero drama, this one is the ultimate Avengers action film. The action set pieces are the eye candy of this feature in every possible way.
The Russo brothers have taken the comic book storytelling approach and translated that well onto film, juggling between different parallel storylines and groups of characters with a steady hand.
Infinity War does not forget to develop its characters and their relationships. Bruce continues to deal with his personality problem, Cap and Tony have to settle their arguments and Gamora has to overcome her daddy and sister issues.
The scene where Gamora asks Peter to shoot her instead of Thanos feels so much more powerful now when you know what that moment means for Gamora.
I like the tonal shifts in the film. We begin with a dark and menacing scene, before moving onto something much more typical MCU and then slowly descending deeper into darkness and depression until the breathtaking climax and the shocking cliffhanger.
The battle on Titan is my all-time favourite superhero battle. It’s visually stunning and both inventive and exciting.
What makes Infinity War so compelling is the fact that our heroes are finally faced by a threat who is completely overpowered. Even when it seems that Thanos has been defeated we immediately learn that he still has the upper hand.
The Bad:
There is sometimes quite a long gap between different plot strands, so you almost forget where the script left of the character last you saw them.
I can't help but think that this is just one overlong introduction to the main event that is the gigantic Endgame.
Thor's plot feels like it barely goes anywhere and the Wakanda sequences feel very tacked ion, just to include Black Panther and the Wakandan army in the film.
The Ugly:
Oh, snap!
WACPINE RATING: 9.29 / 10 = 4,5 stars
Anyone else not recognise Steve Rogers' new look, and wonder what ex-Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld was doing in this movie? No? Just me? Ok then.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh this film is so damn awesome, the build-up to the character of Thanos played by Josh Brolin was perfect as the moment he comes on screen in this movie you know that this is gonna be one of the darkest MCU films and what I liked about this film is I didn't find it super predictable as the trailers barely gave away anything and it does differ from the comics for sure. Don't really know what to say about this film without spoiling things, I will say that I really liked the dynamic between all of the characters as some of these characters have never been on screen together but when they are I feel like the chemistry just flows so perfectly.
Picking out a favourite scene in this film is almost impossible as there are just so many to chose from, one thing I did love is with each stone there is a toll which characters involved with protecting it had to pay with some of them almost making you want to cry. Marvel what can I say, you actually pulled off the impossible as no-one thought the build-up would have been this worth it and visually this film is just so spectacular. If I had to pick out an action sequence that stands out it has to be the Wakanda scenes which are just mind-blowingly amazing.
Also if you have been watching these films since the start then I promise you that you will get emotional for sure.
"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...
Is the best avengers movie, it have action, is fun, it had everything
Right out of the gate let me say I absolutely hate Downey and Ruffalo in this. Just endless unfunny lines. Which seems to be my big problem with every MCU movie except GOTG. They just aren't funny at all yet never stop trying. The beginning of the movie was also a shock at first with all the cgi characters but as soon as the first battle I liked all of them, especially whoever that was that got sucked out into space. Very cool character.
Most characters were ok, I liked Thor and GOTG the most. Scarlet Witch was also interesting. The best part of the movie was the fight scenes, which is lucky for me since that's basically the whole movie. I thought this was the big finale so I was a bit surprised when the movie ended by... well you know.
Guess not. Was fine, definitely a fun action romp. I have trouble believing this is the best MCU movie. It's just fun action but it's not even the best action movie so... must be better ones than this.
Everyone's seen this movie already, so my thoughts really don't matter. I saw this out of obligation, not 'cause I was on the edge of my seat in roaring anticipation if my flavor of the month favorite character would live. All I can say, this is the best Marvel Studios movie, just on the basis it feels like a... movie. Yeah, with a story, a character to follow, and a real artistic production value behind it. Granted, it still falls short because of the studio mandating and tiresome quips, some of the jokes land, but most don't. The real protagonist of the film is actually Thanos. From the start, you follow him, like he was written with the hero's journey in mind, and he has a clear set up and pay off. He's the best written character in this entire goddamn universe because he is interesting; he has purpose, and I can say that since I've seen over 13 of these released products. As vengeful and heinous as his "overpopulation" removal solution may be, he actually gives solid reason for his actions and you almost end up feeling for him over any of the other disposable and rather annoying superheroes. Who the hell even is Bruce Banner anymore? What does he do? What is his job? Why does he not contribute anything more to this universe other than babble around and turn into the Hulk every once in a while? He's the most useless character in all of this. Thankfully, the Russos' actually attempt to demonstrate the consequences this time around, and use basic human emotions to tell the story. Because of Peter's sudden lack of judgment and losing control of his anger, Thanos gets the gauntlet back and dooms the entire universe. Gamora is given a decent backstory that comes into fruition, she's the adopted daughter (little one) of Thanos, and it works emotionally whenever the two are together. When certain characters are given proper screen time, this works. Other times, some are throw in purely for fan service and have no overall impact on the story. This movie should've just involved Gamora, Quill, Strange, Stark, and Parker, the rest of the cast is there to make this the Infinity War. I really hate Black Panther. This movie isn't bad. I still like Batman v Superman more, yeah, sue me. (I know we shouldn't compare the two, just throwing that out there)
A decade's worth of intertwined superhero adventures culminates in one staggering, towering behemoth of a film. It sounds like a tall order - and, clearly, it is - but Marvel's been doing this for quite a while now and seem to have a firm grasp of the essentials. Effectively juggling so many competing stars, flavors, themes and aesthetics was my largest concern, especially ones as disparate as Captain America and the Guardians of the Galaxy, and obviously that was a core focus for Infinity War's producers. Not only does each scene retain the characteristic tone and identity of its unique featured franchise, it also mixes fluidly with those of another, creating an unexpected blend that works almost effortlessly and moves in exciting new directions. This is really the essence of the Marvel universe, particularly so from a long-term reader's perspective, and it's something I've yet to grow tired of seeing on the big screen. Creating a great cast is step one, but watching them grow and interact with the unfamiliar is where the real magic happens. Each subsequent installment in the Avengers franchise ups that ante just a little bit further.
No doubt, I would've been content to just watch these familiar faces bounce around in the same enclosed space, trading zingers and butting heads, but there's an underlying reason for all this, and the film (somehow) doesn't shortchange that, either. Thanos, the big wrinkle-chinned monster who's been hinted at and referenced for years, has finally come to town with a destructive cause in mind. Well-rounded villains have not been a strength for the MCU thus far, but in this case they make amends. Thanos is quickly and efficiently established as a galactic-level threat, far and away the most powerful creature we've seen so far, and then unexpectedly fleshed out as a fully-realized three dimensional character. We may not agree with his means, but his motivation is certainly understandable. That's a new thing, a clearly addressed criticism, and it makes the film far stronger.
So, yes, I enjoyed myself. The new Avengers is a big deal, it takes big risks, and judging from the box office numbers, it's reaped big rewards. There are also several little flaws for those interested in picking. Most glaringly, it falls into the trap of being merely half a movie. After the better part of three hours, I left the theater with the feeling I'd just binge-watched an entire season of an expensive TV series and been left hanging with a "tune in next time.” Its story is obviously incomplete, and while that's played for maximum effect in the stunning conclusion (the first time I've ever seen an entire theater sit through a credit roll in complete silence), that stuck in my craw. My other complaints can be largely brushed away as inconsequential - inexplicably missing characters, too many guest spots, a not-insignificant barrier of entry - but that's a relatively big one and something that I keep revisiting. Having cleared my chest of that, though, I'll strongly recommend it as a fundamental bit of summer blockbuster history, even if it isn't quite summer yet. Potential viewers should already know what to expect (Infinity War is just another refinement in the well-worn Marvel formula) and whether or not that's remotely up their alley. If so, by all means, go see it more than once. This is the best entry yet. And maybe, just maybe, it'll shine even more brightly as a Lord of the Rings style all-day anthology. Once the story is actually complete, that is.
One of the best Superhero Movie. :metal:
Dang! That was a lot to take in. No boring scene. No moment that you would want to take your eyes off of the screen. I think it is amazing. Crossovers upon crossovers, exciting to see characters merge!
"A thrilling, emotionally resonant blockbuster that (mostly) realizes its gargantuan ambitions."
Exiting, Cinematic masterpiece. Loved every second of it. This movie is the crossover of your lifetime. Bravo Anthony and Joe Russo.
I watched it only because I was committed to see end game and needed to ‘catch up’ on the avengers-verse. There is just too much to learn if you think that just watching one movie will catch you up. It would have been more enjoyable if I understood what was going on before I watched the movie.
I haven’t seen an avengers movie for a long time, I have been in track with all of them but on this one I feeled a lot like lost. I got confused with so many characters and so many different approached it was a lot chaotic.
I didn’t understand anything about the ending, I assume it will become clear on the EndGame. In general I thing from the whole saga this was the weakest.
I understand that Tanos has killed half the universe, but Spiderman? Spiderman can not kill him! I have played a lot with the movie.
As I have noted before I am not a Marvel Comic Book or film fan. I’m not invested in the stories or characters and I do not look forward to the latest instalment of the franchises whatever they may be. I will watch the films and I will not dislike them for the sake of disliking them and being contra-cool.
I do have to say that explosions, leaping and punching for an hour of running time bores me rigid but this film, story and franchise clearly is not aimed at me.
Infinity War is the penultimate film in this huge rambling series. The final instalment coming up, it’s on my list, is Avengers: End Game. Which knowing this, even when Infinity War was first released into the cinema means that no matter what happens in this film you just know it’s not the ‘end’ and also the next film, no matter what happens there, is also not the end. There is a lot of money to make producing these films, superhero style piles of money. No film company is going to put a stop to this regardless what does or does not happen to the characters.
So for me there are problems, so many characters to fit in, even for a few minutes that it felt like appeasement to fans at times, the story rambling all over the place, with things that happened seemingly plotted to make the running time longer. Logic in the storyline goes out the window early on and then flies to the trees and stays there. It would be churlish to point out all the points that make little to no sense but once you give a single character the power to alter time, reality and all points in between you had better make sure your story is watertight otherwise it sinks in a sea of gooey contradictions really quickly. Avengers: Infinity War does this.
Having said this the film for most of the running time is entertaining and my attention did not wonder too much. The big battle scene in Wakanda, like the last one in Black Panther, lacked tension or thrills and bored me as it seemed to be interminable, the same with the big fight with Thanos, who was so powerful and able to control most of what was going on that it was easy to ask how was there ever fight in the first place? But I fully understand big flashy, non-stop noisy fighting scenes are what makes a Marvel world and it works for youngsters whose eyes and brains perhaps are tuned better than mine to this. I honestly find it boring if goes on beyond the actual endurance of real people.
Like all Marvel films the running time is too long, at least half an hour of bagginess and what on the surface seems exciting depth in character and motivation proves on proper examination to be slight and at times a bit silly. As an example Thanos’ motivation seems initially ‘wow I could see why he might do that’ then in the cold light of day it becomes ‘wait a minute…’ and this is the overall pervading feeling I had. Of course I’m aware I was watching a complete fantasy and just escapism but also the Marvel Comics have always been defended as more ‘adult than you think’ and covering ‘modern hard-hitting topics’. Well they skim the surface but they are just comic-book stories no matter what anyone might like them to be.
The acting throughout is good albeit with some people getting two minutes of screen time and at least Samuel L Jackson gets the best line in the whole film that made me laugh. The visual and special effects are better than usual with a feel of heft and reality to most heavy-laden scenes, which cannot always be said of a Marvel Universe film but any sense of peril or real danger, even at the very end of the film was just missing for me. These characters are expensive commodities and are laying some very big golden eggs. Everyone one of them will return in some form or another.
Usual Marvel fare, well produced, explosion infested and definitely slanted to fans but for me the same, it was okay, but I will not be going out of my way to watch it again.
damn. that was a riot, Jesus. I didn't expect this movie to be the way that it is. It was a long movie but it felt so short (especially because of the ending). This film was more serious but it was still light hearted in a way. I really enjoyed seeing all the characters come together and fight. I really liked the movie because I got to see all my favourite heroes be badasses( haha ya boi Thor killed it). But anyways, this was 7/8 on my marvel movie binge, and damnnn... I don't know what to expect for end game. Finished this one at 10:15PM boissss.
What a load of hype over a mediocre film. Bloated, over-wrought and ultimately pointless as you know they’re just going to bring back all the victims of Thanos’ snap in the next film.. So many characters made absolutely moronic decisions that I started to think maybe Thanos was right.
Ok, now I see the problem with giving a 10 to everything I really enjoy. I need at least an 11 for this.. :D Time to start giving more 9s, otherwise it won't be possible to rate movies like Infinity War.
What should I say.. A giant collaboration of almost every single character we saw until now. And in the end almost nothing is left. The good thing is: I never watched the Marvel movies until about 2 months earlier with bigger pauses – so I'm in a position where I know that Endgame is released. So hopefully something with Thanos' plan went wrong or at least not the way he wanted. :D
This simply should not have worked.
Avengers: Infinity War is one of the most ambitious films in cinema history. I have so much respect for the Russo brothers for managing to make a film with this many characters and this many plot points feels cohesive and endlessly entertaining. I think the real triumph of Infinity War is how watchable and fun this movie is despite being 2 1/2 hours long, full of characters and constantly hitting you in the face with really depressing stuff. Let’s hope that the Russo brothers can pull of the same trick twice.
So can you guys remind me how it works, just trying to understand the logic behind this:
Iron man throws a 50 story building on Hulk -> Hulk is feeling better then ever
Giant alien caterpillar trying to eat Hulk -> Hulk eats it instead
Some purple dude throws few MMA style punches -> Hulk doesn't feels so good
Isn't he suppose to replenish his energy by injuries? I mean... That is the whole idea behind the Hulk, what changed?
I'm one to typically roll my eyes at another superhero movie hitting the theatres, but even I can appriciate all the stops this film pulls out.
Of course it’s very entertaining bubble gum for the mind.
Great movie, it oozes awesomeness , can't wait for the next one.
I do not know what to say ... this movie is very good but it is not perfect.
I guess there isn’t really much point in reviewing an Avengers movie, any plot details could be considered spoilers and as a reviewer you have to walk to egg shells so that you don’t give anything anything away. That being said I do want to give a strong recommendation to Infinity War for any fans of this franchise, it’s funny it’s heartfelt and it go’s to some unexpected places. Despite a couple of moments when a character says or does something a little out of character for them and some hard to follow moments of action this is a great movie.
Also Edinburgh looks beautiful in it.
Quite good, but little naive ending… You can't kill half of the main characters collected trough ten years of development unless you're in the "Game of Throne" universe. ;)
Another overrated comic book movie
Actually this might be the best of the series.
I still don’t get why Thanos cares so much about the Universe to go through all that trouble to ‘save’ it from itself
will go down as one of the greats! beautiful put together!
Got to know that the film was released in Telugu and watched the film in Telugu and fell in love with it. Waiting for part 2.
Too crowded so no wonder they needed to kill every second avengers. Pity they eliminated the ones I’ve liked more.
I really don't like their odds against Thanos - still...
But they have better odds than winning the lottery, so it's quite possible - even without Strange chosing the right path to victory.
According to Dr. Strange it is 1:14,000,605 vs 1:85,900,584 if you have to draw 7 out of 49 or 1:13,983,816 if you play 6 out of 49.
If you play in the US, you'll like the compared chances even better:
You have a Chance of 1:292.2 Million winning the Jackpot.
So all in all: Everyone playing the lottery should immediately volunteer fighting Tanos - chances are way better :)
With a slow bellow, I exert a sigh of incredulity.....and I shall be quoted:
"Avengers: Infinity War is the greatest Super Hero movie ever made."
Perfect storytelling guided me into a maze I could master, and with my jaw agape, and I came to know the genius that is Marvel Studios.
The Hulk refuses to appear, Thor is eyeless and Hammerless, The Iron Spider is introduced in the blink of an eye with a finesse only Tony Stark can deliver, Doctor Strange gets beat down, Star Lord let's his emotions get in the way and Thanos......Thanos is humanized, and you like him. Absurd! He is not the anti-hero! But isn't he? His mission is clearly defined and you may have an inkling for him to achieve it. He is the Ultimate Avenger and is virtually unstoppable.
Of all the things I will anticipate in 2019, AIW 2 is number one.
great action movie in the marvel history....
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.
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...
Excellent installment in the Avengers series... I still can't believe a superhero film would be this emotionally charged!
EXCELLENT movie. I give almost zero movies/shows a 10; this one got it out of me. Well, technically it'd be a 9.5 (I mean, you had years, and 2.5 hrs. and couldn't come up with a better ending? The movie ended exactly like all the heroes; just vanished. It's like they just ran out of production money and poof, movies over!) but it was close enough so I gave up the last 0.5 anyway.
The best possible version of this film that could've been done.
If i wanted half a movie i would go watch a TV Show...
This movie's tagline should've been “Avengers disassemble!“.
The End reminded me a lot of X-Men the last stand. I am wondering, if the Phoenix would've stood a chance?
I love you Avengers and love the Kapten America the Nat the Spider man the Iron man the Thor and the Huck
Waited 10 years for this movie. Didn't disappoint.
Another great MCU film, although there was many things I thought they could have done differently it still lived up to the expectation. The outcome to this series of movies is sort of spoiled by the confirmation of future film releases.
The only flaw I found but is very minor, is that the movie seemed to go very fast, literally straight into action no build up. But that's not a terrible thing since all the other MCU films are technically the build up to this event.
Best Avengers flick till today.period.
Good and sympathetic movie, all the heroic thing but to me all the franchise will always be to soft. Maybe Venom will change that of it's not about superheroes.
This movie was somewhat entertaining in a typical blockbuster action movie way, but I'm left feeling pretty unimpressed overall. Too many characters involved means that none of them individually actually matters much; they're just there to add a few minutes of their own particular flavour to the action mix, but with the possible exception of Thor, you could sub any of them out, and it wouldn't make any difference to the overall story. This mishmash is like a pizza with too many toppings; none of them stand out individually, and you end up wishing you had just asked for pepperoni.
Its the Best Movie Ever
I love this film! It pulls off a small miracle, balancing such a wide array of characters and keeping everything in sync, tonally, while still maintaining its own identity. The sense of scope with the impending doom, is actually one you feel in your gut. It's hard to shake. And it sports one of the strongest villains to come around in a long long time.
"Oh God"?
No, no, no.
Capt. you ment...
"Oh Snap"
Plus, of course you should have aimed for the head. Especially if you're a god sharpshooter angel-pirate superhero you should always aim for the head. Or for the hand for that matter.
well, really liked this movie. would have given it a solid 9 if it wasn't for the ending. it all built up really well, good pace and rithym to end in such way. it's clearly obvious there will be a sequel but leaving it all in the air kinda ruined it for me. after the black panther seems like wakanda is everywhere. still can't comprehend the ruckus between the avengers. grow up already. Thanos is an interesting character with space a to grow. Not your typical world domination villain. He has a plan, the heroes simply do not agree with his vision. besides, I am Groot!
great movie... One of Marvel's best!
very dark and full of emotional roller coaster
Just another Marvel movie. Only thing that is keeping it from being total shit is humor and overall quality of movie itself.
Marvel really are stretching the friendship these days.
I leave my reality meter at the door. But their does need to be credible story line and the fantasy does need to be believable continuity.
Seeing this Wakonda technology or Tony Stark's suit morphing into any nano-tech he (the script writers) decide to pull out of the backsides leaves me shaking my head now.
This thin superhero movie was probably the 2nd least favourite with Black Panther the clear winner in crappy superhero movies.
I did love the Thor / Guardians segments. The rest, well, meh
best movie ever it was great
very clever mix between action humer and the end it was shocking and amazing
can't wait for the fourth sequel
I Was expecting more and was constantly checking the time as to where the real stuff was gonna start.
I will watch it again later and have a second thought.
All in All SO SO, Can get very boring when there is no action.
This was the Marvel movie I was anticipating the most and the one that would either make or break the franchise for me. I wasn't really impressed, to say it friendly, with the last ones.
Leave it to the Russos to put the ship back on course as they already delivered the best movies in the MCU. There are a few things I didn't like. F.e. Spiderman in general and even less so with this new suit and some of the humor is still too much. They even put Banner in a suit now bacuase the Hulk doesn't want to show up. Anyway, that is my personal opinion. It's amazing what they pulled off here giving all those characters some place.
I am a bit concerned about the conclusion of this story because I think it's fair to say that most, if not all, of our heroes will be back. It would be just to many movies, and money, not made. I hope that will be done in a way that is not too, how shall I put it, Hollywood.
The best movie ever if you're a marvels fanatic !!! Week every time I saw a new villain or superhero that are my faves I was excited and giddy. My boyfriend is a marvels junkie too. Lol he smiled at me every time I shrieked, until this his arch enemy Thor came onscreen
There is one feeling after watching this movie and it sums up with the following statement: This would be my favorite hero movie of all times if they do not resurrect everyone. Saying this, it is expected of them to come up with a solution to do exactly that, unless they really surprise us in the second installment of Infinity War. Still, if one analysis Infinity War just in itself and do not connect to past movies or the ones that will follow, Infinity War would deserve to be in everybody's top 10 superhero movies of all time.
The best superhero stories don't necessarily need the villain to win, but it is "realistic" (aka better and it feels more satisfying) when the villain's strategy is better and/or they are stronger than the heroes and they get to win because of that. It is even more satisfying when the reasoning of the villain kind of makes sense while their logic is flawed somewhere (showing the weakness of the villain), especially if the superhero and the villain agree on something but their approach is quite different to solve the problem.
There is room to argue that Thanos is one of the great villains since he has a purpose beyond just being a villain for the sake of villainy.

I mean... Hulk should become stronger after beating, that is why you could not possibly kill him, right?
Wasn't that his "thing"?

6 years later, this is still peak. I'm so glad I was able to catch this in theaters
