IF YOU THROW ANOTHER MOON AT ME I’M GONNA LOSE IT

Wow.

Just got back from the cinemas. I think the movie is great.
The mix of humor, action and darkness and some really good twists.

The last 10 minutes are also perfect. Everyone was shocked.

Wow the Russos actually did it. I can't believe this movie works as well as it does. The movie just breezed by, there is so much going on and it is paced so well. The action is great and the stakes are real. Thanos's plan is a dumb one but they do make him a well rounded character and he is one of the few villains to actually pull it off. There is a ton of humor but it also manages to be really emotional at times. It is going to be a long year but at least we get to see Captain Marvel in between.

EDIT: After seeing it again it still is amazing how well everything works. This is probably the darkest MCU movie so far but still is fun and has a ton of one liners. The humor is still fantastic and on GotG level. I just realized that it is the original Avengers team that is left to start Avengers 4. I expect most everyone that turned to ash to come back but not without sacrificing the original team.

A great job at what could have been a big mess. So many characters, such different tones in the worlds of the different heroes, such a big story arc to be told in one movie (Ok, the rest is to be told 26 April 2019, but they covered a lot of ground in this one). Things that caught my attention: great performances by all the cast, real stories interweaving the larger story, not just 3 minute cameos. Laugh out loud lines. A real threat demanding great cost. Spectacular success for the Russos in a Herculean endeavour. Just really well done! On a rewatch, I bump up my rating from 9 (superb) to 10 (I don't know how it could have been better) out of 10.

Yea, ensemble cast look's good, but when will they announce/let slip Hugo Weaving's return as The Red Skull? We all know he's not dead, he was wisked away in very similar style to the Bifrost at the end of capt 'murica. Is he with Thanos? If so, will Thanos bring him to earth and totally f***-up Rogers day?

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

A _Guardians of the Galaxy_ film is not the same style as an _Iron Man_ film which has a different feel than a _Doctor Strange_ film and a different look than a _Thor_ film... In _Infinity War_ when they talk about a clash of super heroes, they mean 'clash' in the sense of a bloke wearing sandals, white socks, black trousers and a plaid sports coat. There's nothing wrong with any of those styles, it's just that they don't necessarily go well together.

My other issue with _Infinity War_ is the conflict... A being who states he wants to create balance in the universe so he has to kill half of every living thing? WTF!? That the plot of a movie of this stature could be based on a logical fallacy of that magnitude borders on the absurd and spills over into the ridiculous.

Apart from those issues, we have a Marvel movie which is better than most. Exposition isn't excessive, there are more than one laugh out loud jokes and the action, while not revolutionary, is entertaining. The Avengers have arrived and they do not disappoint.

Too much brainless action but still a solid movie. Don't expect some kind of complex or engaging story, it's a Marvel movie.

I hope to never live in a Thor-less MCU.

I sit here wondering how far Strange was able to see as far as the one victory. Could he only see as far as he lived or could he see past his own demise.
