So, I just got back from seeing Avengers Infinity War, and this movie was better than I expected it to be.
Now, if you've been following this blog, or you know me personally, then you know that I'm not a real big fan of the MCU. However this is one of there better movies that they have made in recent memory.
Most of the comedy in marvel movies is absolutely terrible and an abomination to the art of comedy as a whole. Yet this movie did sneak in some good jokes now and again.
For the most part the actions scenes are done well, though there is a minor spoiler here. In Wakanda, there is a big fight scene that happens. Two armies go at it and I have to say for a highly advanced society which one of the characters called guns primitive in Black Panther, their tactics seem very primitive. This highly advanced society just decides to do a full on charge and break formation. Come on guys, take a note from one of the greats about tactics, like Hannibal, Scipio, or Alexander the Great. That just popped in my head as I was watching the scene.
Also sometimes the dialogue feels a bit stiff at times. For example there are moments that there should only be silence, but they say something. I think that I did catch one that they might have added in post.
Granted for a movie this size it would be very difficult for a character arc for everyone in this film, and I can forgive that. I must add though when some characters die off, I don't really feel much for them, because they never truly get a continuous arc.
The action in this movie was pretty well done overall. For the vast majority of the film, the fight scenes are pretty good.
Now onto the main villain of this story, Thanos. I would say that he is the most memorable MCU villain. The reason for that is because they show him at the end credits scene for almost every freaking movie. Also he actually has a bit of a backstory. Granted it is kinda basic, but it's there nonetheless.
I do have some concern for the sequel to this movie though. The reason being is that the characters that do die, I believe they won't remain dead. I would praise marvel if they could actually just kill off some characters and that would be that, and I don't mean some cheap side characters. I'm talking about the ones that get their own movies. They really should leave most or all of them dead, but they won't. So, in a way the drama is for nothing.
In the end, this isn't a terrible film. It's fun, but not great. Infinity War is one of the better marvel movies to come out in recent years and I applaud the movie for that. If you just want to have a fun time at the theater, go on ahead and see this movie.
final score: 3.5/5
