Infinity War Avengers: Infinity War SPOILER User Review Thread

[Frodo]

As far as the Dr Strange thing goes , sometimes you have to lose to win, and I think we'll see that play out in Avengers 4.

As far as my review goes...Wow. I'm still processing it, and i've got to noodle it more.

That said, while I don't think its the best Marvel movie ever, I certainly think it is one of the most important Marvel films ever, and among the best.

I certainly consider it a milestone for the comicbook film genre. Its the Empire Strikes Back, Wrath of Khan, and Dark Knight Rises of the Marvel films.

While I don't agree with the idea that Thanos is the best Marvel villain yet, i'd still give that to Killmonger overall, he's a close second for me. I know someone will disagree with that , but that's how I feel. Thanos was great though, so that's no knock on Brolin at all.

I really don't have any issues with it. I'd say my least favorite parts were Vision and Scarlett's relationship stuff and the Thor , Rocket, and Groot storyline, but even those weren't long enough to drag down the film.

My grade is a 9/10 or A- if it were a letter grade.

Awesome f-ing movie!

Best Avengers films hands down! Totally did not expect Red Skull to show up so that was very cool to see. Glad to see there were big deaths in this movie but we all know it will be undone in the next film. Just sucks there was no Ant-Man or Hawkeye

So is Ant-man in the Wasp just set a week earlier or what the hell?

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place before the events of Infinity War but I'm sure the film will end during the events of Infinity War to tie it up

 

[legendkillin]

Obviously the dusting will be undone in some fashion but it was silly and underwhelming how it was almost entirely only new characters and characters with known sequels getting dissolved and conspicuously none of the orignal Avengers.

A good amount in my theater were surprised. Most when Black Panther got dusted I think they only started watching because BP.

 

[legendkillin]

I don't think they said a time frame for when Scott and Clint left. Movie probably takes place a good amount before IWs. They go subatomic and comeback to Hank being dusted. They don't know why just like Fury and Hill.

 

[legendkillin]

It could still go wrong. Strange said he saw over 14 million scenarios and they only win in one. Which means in all of the other scenarios, Thanos still gets the stones and fulfills his destiny. So he knows that Stark is important to winning, but that's really all that he knows. He has no idea what happened on Wakanda. It's a huge bet, with 14 million busts.

That is true, but I think it was just a step towards that direction of winning. It can still go wrong for sure, but Strange must have known up to the snap.

 

[Leenie]

Did Marvel put themselves in a lose/lose situation with the ending of the movie?

Spoiler

Keep them all dead (which they won't) and people will be mad or undo the snap and people will say IW was for nothing! I'm not really part of either line of thinking because I feel like whatever the Russo Brothers have in store for us in A4 will be a cohesive explanation.

Spoiler

Maybe for nitpicky fanboys it'll be a lose-lose.

For most people, though, it will be a relief to see the characters come back. People were FREAKING OUT in the movie theater tonight and were dead silent when the credits started rolling. The general audience won't like it if they stay dead, especially for characters like Spider-Man, and all except one of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

For me, personally, they need to undo the snap. Because I think it would be weak if the only survivors of Thanos are the Avengers from the first movie plus a new crew of heroes we don't even know yet. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean the stakes won't stay high; I think there's still plenty of death to witness outside of the "snap" that will stay permanent.

As of now, I think that Vision and Loki will undoubtedly stay dead. A high possibility for Gamora as well (though I can see a way for them to "undo" that, which I would be against because of how tragic her death played out in the movie; I think it would take away from Thanos' character as well).

 

[Frodo]

That is true, but I think it was just a step towards that direction of winning. It can still go wrong for sure, but Strange must have known up to the snap.

Yeah. I think he picked the scenario in which they will ultimately win, but sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

 

[Donner]

Yeah. I think he picked the scenario in which they will ultimately win, but sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

I totally believe he picked the right scenario, I'm just pointing out how unlikely it is

Every scenario where they lose would still have Thanos getting all of the stones. So for Strange, he really only knows that the scenario they win in has Stark in it. He has no idea what happened on Wakanda. There could be millions of scenarios with Stark that still end up with them losing.

 

[Frodo]

A good amount in my theater were surprised. Most when Black Panther got dusted I think they only started watching because BP.

My theater was silent. I just sat there in silence myself taking it all in and thinking about what had just happened.

Hopefully it'll get members of the GA to think and take it in as opposed to peeving people off leaving the theaters.

 

[BigThor]

Finally saw it

Well, I'm not gonna go that deep into how many scenarios could be or could have been. I didn't write the film. I'm just accepting it for the moment . We'll see what happens in 4.

 

[Harry Dresden]

I give it a 8/10.

Crazy movie. Lots of balls to leave the audience with that ending.

I know a lot of people have already been saying it, but this movie gets a lot of points for not collapsing under the weight of its immense cast. I think it was particularly smart to frame the movie around Thanos and even end it with him. He truly was the protagonist of the movie. Despite the change in motivation from the comics, I think the stuff with Gamora really worked to his advantage. In my opinion, he is the best villain the MCU has produced above the likes of Killmonger and Loki.

But there are some issues... ending the movie on a huge cliffhanger like that, while it is bold, I do question it. You would legitimately have to be am idiot to truly believe that all those characters are dead. You know that their deaths will be undone, the question is just how (my theory is that the MCU introduces straight up time travel). So, I feel like the ending was somewhat cheap. Loki and Gamora's respective deaths had some weight behind them because it felt like they weren't going to just be undone whereas there is no emotion felt when you see the Guardians collapse into dust because you know they will return.

Also while I did praise the movie's decision to center around Thanos because it'd made a lot of sense from a storytelling perspective, it didn't quite work in terms of emotion. I think Thanos was well developed but the movie kind of lacks an emotional weight for me because before this Thanos had not truly even been really introduced properly which I feel like kind of is a failure not on this movie necessarily, but perhaps previous films for not delving into his character a little bit earlier. But like I said, there's so much action going on that I think the movie can't really slow down and as a result, it sacrifices a little bit of that emotion because you are just everywhere.

Still at the end of the day, this is an amazing effort by Marvel. Just like with Avengers 2012, nothing like this has been done before with superhero movies. I continue to be impressed. The suits at Marvel Studios are genius though. This movie already gonna break a **** ton and people will be clamoring back for the sequel next year. I expect for Avengers 4 to pretty much be the official passing of the torch to the Gen 2 heroes.

Oh yeah and the Red Skull is back. That was crazy.

 

[Iceman]

Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place before the events of Infinity War but I'm sure the film will end during the events of Infinity War to tie it up

Should be interesting seeing how it ties things up and connects with these 2 films.

 

[Donner]

Well, I'm not gonna go that deep into how many scenarios could be or could have been. I didn't write the film. I'm just accepting it for the moment . We'll see what happens in 4.

Like I said, I'm sure he picked the right scenario. It was just a huge bet to make.

Most were silent but the most murmurs came from BP, Sam, and Star-Lord. The end credit as well for both characters.

 

[m2k]

Oh my gawd! This movie is incredibly epic! You guys are not prepared for Thanos. Trust me. Feels unlike any Mcu movie that's been put forth. BP was different in it's own way but this is moreso in craftsmanship in narration and audacious direction. Almost feels like something Kubrick would create if he had directed an Mcu film.

This belongs in the same class as Spider-man 2 and TDK for me and needless to say, conclusively tops within the Mcu. Yes. It's that damn good! Lol.
Rating=10/10

 

[Tempus Fugit]

Thor to Cap: "Oh...this is Groot"
Groot: "I am Groot"
Cap: "I am Steve Rogers"

The above exchange had me laughing pretty hard.

That little moment got me as well. Another one I liked was:

Rocket: "How much for the gun?"
Winter Soldier: "It's not for sale."
Rocket: "How much for the arm then?"

When Strange said he went forward in time to see all possible outcomes of how they could stop Thanos, I thought he'd at least tell Tony and the guys what that one plan that worked actually was, but maybe if he did, the first part wouldn't have worked. Obviously Tony staying alive is the key to what Strange saw working.

I read that as Strange examined a future where he explained his actions after looking into the future and it was one of the millions of "failed" outcomes.

To quote Chief O'Brien: "I hate temporal mechanics."

 

[Hotwire]

It hit hard but, I had a hard time with the gravity of the casualties because so many of them are in sequels that have already been announced.

But we already knew Evans, RDJ, Hemsworth, and most of the originals were in A4. They have had contracts for that for the longest some of their ends will be in A4. They are likely not returning from death after that.

 

[WBwins]

Watched it yesterday.Was a relentless awesome experience.
Movie plays out more like Thanos vs the MCU than an Avengers movie.Stil great though.
Thanos,Strange,Thor are the standouts to me.
Thanos is my favourite villain in the MCU,Brolin plays him with such Conviction,Tragedy and Ferociousness.If i could give Thanos a title it would be "He-who-****s-all".

Strange had my favourite origin story in the MCU,and was happy to see him shine.He is now my favorite MCU hero.Cumberbatch knocks it out of the park.Love the conversation/Battle between him and Thanos.
And we get to see new Magic from Dr strange.

Thors awesome characterisation from Ragnarok remains so i enjoyed him.I didnt care for the Nidallevir plot* though and didnt find stormbreaker to be more powerful than Mjolnir.

Cap and his team were allright,so was Tony and his team.Everyone on point.


The Ending was shockingly Dark and im suprised they did it.Well done to Disney for takin a risk.

I do have a lot of nitpicks which ill create a thread for.But i give this movie 8/10.

 

[legendkillin]

Russo's understand the reality stone I love them for that. It is my favorite stone and I did not like how it was used in Dark World. This was what it was capable of, I believe Thanos used that stone the most as well.

 

[BMM]

This was a damn enjoyable film and well worth the ten year investment it took to get here.

 

[BigThor]

Thors awesome characterisation from Ragnarok remains so i enjoyed him.I didnt care for the Nidallevir plot* though and didnt find stormbreaker to be more powerful than Mjolnir.

Stormbreaker is clearly more powerful than Mjolnir, it was stated to be a weapon of the All Fathers.

Not only that but it can teleport Thor between dimensions and the blade makes it much more deadly.

 

[Tony Stark]

WOW! I'm totally blown away! So many fantastic moments. My favorites were with Thor, Rocket and Groot. "I took Groot as an elective on Asgard.". ROFL!

Greatest cliffhanger ending since Empire Strikes Back, and it was straight out of the comics.

It sucks we have to wait a whole year for the conclusion but this movie was a true achievement.
