Infinity War Avengers: Infinity War SPOILER User Review Thread

[Loki882]

I will be disappointed if the ones that died came back. When Gamora was killed I felt everyone was free game. If they pull the "Oh it didn't matter" crap out of the hat I will be furious. It is the one big criticism that I have for Marvel. Like nothing makes a real impact. Thor lost his eye, he gets a new one for no reason. Civil War imprisons team Cap, "Oh it didn't matter, Scott and Clint are family men". I want some lasting consequence to make me fear for characters. That's why enjoyed this film. I prey to Odin they stick with their guns.

They're not going to kill off three of their new biggest cash cows (Black Panther, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange) that just makes no business sense for them.

I doubt that Bucky and Wanda are dead either just given the set up. MAYBE Vision, Loki, and Gamora, but their deaths would be predictable anyway.

One other point -

I think the Thanos/Gamora relationship should have been built up a bit more leading into this movie. Prior to this there is no real "love" towards Gamora shown by him, so it makes it less impactful that he is truly hurt by sacrificing her, especially when his modus operandi is random genocide.

Again, maybe being nitpicky.

"And you apparently alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora." I also got it from Nebula's dialogue in GotG2 that Thanos favored Gamora over the rest of his children. So, I don't really agree.

 

[WitcherGeralt]

Well I basically hated everything that they did with Gamora and Nebula here, so obviously that did nothing for me either. And yeah, there was no buildup to it.

Uh the two GOTG movies? Thanos even openly said that Gamora is his favorite daughter and didn't even seek out to punish her when she literally betrayed him.

 

[Klidokrator]

If I were a betting man, my bet is everything ends up being restored and the dead characters are restored as well...but whoever reverses it dies doing it, and it likely is either Iron Man or Cap (my money is on Iron Man).

My money is on both man. I think it would be poetic dying side by side. Something along the lines "I will always be your friend" after the "So was I" line in Civil War.

 

[Loki882]

Which meant nothing since he did nothing to try and punish Nebula or Loki either. One line about being his "favorite" ain't nearly enough, it just makes it feel like her saw her as the strongest and that's it.

NEVER ONCE in either GOTG film did I get that there was genuine love there, never once.

I don't believe that a person hellbent on performing massive genocide will have a conventional way to show love.

 

[RoastBeast]

I still think Marvel has shot themselves in the foot on this one. The general audience are not us fanboys who spend most of their day at the Hype discussing this. I saw people upset and even mad at their characters being killed. They had no idea this was supposed to be a two parter and that most of the dead would return. The biggest repeat viewings of the MCU movies is kids...and I'm not so sure kids will be asking to see this over and over.

And the graphic way it was done should be discussed- I was prepared for disintegration or something, but, just, come on!

By the end of the day, there are going to be a lot of angry parents out there, and they're not coming back for more.

I don't think you were really supposed to. But to say "there was no build-up" is incorrect.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I don't see a scenario where they both would have to die doing it as a pair. Only scenario I can see involving more than 1 dying to reverse it, since there is 1 Gauntlet, would be if all the original Avengers die together wielding the Gauntlet like the GotG did in GotG when they held hands and used the Orb. I could see THAT as an ending and swan song for everyone. But if not that, I only see it being one or the other.

He also was in like, 4 scenes combined in the MCU prior to this movie. This was a crowded movie, but I think they did enough to sell it.

But those movies weren’t based around Thanos. If they had put those scenes in, it would have rightfully been criticized for shoe horning them in when the focus should be on Guardians.

3. My biggest issue with the whole movie - the timeframe with which this all takes place. Is it all in a day? Thanos says hes had an awful day near the end when hes talking to Wanda. I cant imagine that after 10 years of buildup in the cinema and apparently a lifetime of searching by Thanos, he just decides "ok i'm going to get the stones" and gathers them all in a matter of a few hours, or even days. I think the plot would have been more impactful had we seen him gain a few stones prior to the movie instead of accumulating them all now. Maybe that's nitpicky but still think it was too easy for him.

He gets the Power Stone from Xandar before the movie. Once he has that, he's pretty much all-powerful making gathering the rest a bit easier.

I think this opens the door for a wider interesting topic of conversation. Just because something upsets parents, does that necesarily mean they shouldnt do it or take bold risks? And im speaking for these big superhero films in general. Should worrying about what parents think hinder bold creative choices?

Nobody will remember any angry parent the moment the trailers for Avengers: Infinity Whatever start dropping.

 

[WitcherGeralt]

The film is literally PG-16 in my country lol.

Depends on if they want the repeat business. Yes, it is their 'art', and they can make what they want, but there are consequences.

This absolutely should not have been PG-13, it should have been R. I think it got an auto-pass that it shouldn't have. Thank God I looked at spoilers, because I would never have imagined the graphic stuff went this far.

R? Seriously? What was so graphic? Poltergeist was PG for crying out loud.

morning after and im still amazed at what i jist saw. there is no way you can get that type of emotional payback without the 10 years before it. what marvel did was amazing and something that should be...well marvelled. feige and co deserve limitless praise. i cant wait to see it again.

 

[RoastBeast]

right! see, now that would be an appropriate rating, and parents would have been put on notice.

The biggest repeat viewings of the MCU movies is kids...and I'm not so sure kids will be asking to see this over and over.

I have no doubts some parents will be angry, but I think the part of this that is on Marvel is I don't think were as clear as they could have been that this was a 2 part story. We knew it and people who followed the movie did, but this was advertised as a culmination of everything we have built toward for 10 years, but it was only half a story. Maybe the Part 1 label would have helped in that regard.

That said, I do think THIS movie needed to be dark and bold. But I also feel like the audience should be rewarded in the end, so Avengers 4 I expect to give people what they wanted at the end of this movie (those that didn't know it was 2 parts I mean). Superheroes at the end of the die are about bringing hope to people and overcoming the odds. Avengers 4 I think will remember this and restore that sense of optimism. I think Avengers 4's OW could be effected by upset parents, but once word of mouth spreads I expect them to come around. Come Avengers 4, I think the angry parents and children this movie upset will "get it" more.

But.....how much money does this movie lose because parents do not take little Johnny back to see it 3 or 4 times because he is upset by it?

If people (the general audience) had been plainly told this was PART ONE....they MAY not be as upset by it as I fear they are going to be.

What's with the pearl clutching? Audiences these days are more sophisticated than you think and most know that this won't be the last movie, even if they don't know the details.

I believe there will definitely by angry people that it ends on such a dark note but once marketing ramps up next year, they're going to want to see how it resolves itself.

Seriously: R. Exponential over Poltergeist- and this hit established characters that kids have bonded with, context matters, too.

Kids aren't born sophisticated.

 

[Spider-Fan]

This was not an R movie guys. Watch this and the watch Terminator 2: Judgement Day or Aliens. THOSE are R movies. This is was closer to Temple of Doom IMO, which was the movie that created the PG-13 rating.
