Even though I enjoyed this movie, I was disappointed in how some of the characters (especially the Hulk and Black Widow (they can never get her character right) didn't seem to get a lot of focus or character depth. It's more troubling with Captain America since I was expecting him to make up with Iron Man after Civil War. That ending was brutal though! I hope Avengers: Endgame is good!Ronyell (a.k.a.

Also, Dinklage was the best surprise in the whole thing. I saw this two weeks after it initially came out so I'd seen lots of these shattering to pieces memes by then and I thought it was taking the piss, I never realised it was something that ACTUALLY happened in the film. Brought back horrible flashbacks from Harry Potter 7 pt 2. <br /><br />Finally OMG YES, the most fun was watching all these characters interact!!! I wasn't a massive fan of Infinity War in general but I mean, it was fun, there were some really good dynamics there. <br /><br />Brilliant review, as always. <3Elinahttp://filmsandcoke.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-48458169501174632982018-05-17T09:15:59.278+02:002018-05-17T09:15:59.278+02:00Fair enough.

This post has tickled my brain a little***<br /><br />"It's such a contrivance that ALL the original Avengers are sill alive."<br /><br />This is kinda mainly the biggest reason why I dislike these movies, especially Civil War. You knew there wasn't gonna be anyone dying there, not anyone important anyway.<br /><br />But hell you were right in that other comment, I don't know what movie I saw the first time, but this really is brutal, how did I not see the stakes? After Loki at the start... I honestly thought Starks might die! That they managed to raise the stakes for me-- after a feeling of NONE AT ALL for all of CW.... a pretty great feat! <br /><br />And this is all from a dude who --hated-- these movies two years ago - you have basically waned me onto them! =P<br /><br />For some reason I remembered (probably because it what was I was expecting) it being all light like Civil War and the others. It tried a little too hard to be funny I thought, and I was only laughing at the overused bit about Pratt's insecurities because I for some reason just intensely dislike him as a person and actor. Not sure why they had to be in the movie at all, made it too crowded.<br /><br />And hey...: <br /><br />You did this for me for Logan and it became one of faves of the year (up from 4/6 to 6/6!) - I've seen BP, Thor3, CA:CW, Ultron... are there any other films that will help make this more sense? <br /><br />I have no idea who Strange is, or why the red dude has this real important thing in his head. Is it just a case of them throwing too much into one movie? Who was the girl he loves? They aren't Avengers are they? I missed where those two were introduced totally.<br /><br />ANYWAYS.... As expected, excellent analysis. It still amazes me that you keep this up and work full time- I don't do shit and you write more often than me! I wish you had more time cos your film reviews always rule and open my eyes up a bit. Or a lot =]<br /><br />Cheers!

And I am so surprised at how much people are surprised, I mean come on, it's not the last movie and as you said there are already sequels for individual characters announced. The worst thing to do though is if they bring back Gamora because her getting sacrificed was such a huge part of Thanos' journey. Undoing that is just cheating but they will probably do that. s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-25975731764990202372018-05-04T19:52:39.626+02:002018-05-04T19:52:39.626+02:00I honestly do not understand how people did not se...I honestly do not understand how people did not see that ending coming from a mile away. It is CLASSIC comic book cliffhanger storytelling, plus, it was telegraphed from the first scene (the only truly shocking thing in the whole movie, although frankly, it was past time for Loki to bite it).<br /><br />I died laughing whenever Thor referred to Rocket as "Rabbit". Far and away the best running gag of the movie (other than the constant ignoring of Starlord, which.... SELFISH IDIOT). The interactions between the characters were all great, but I agree they should have spent more time to show us the love Thanos had for Gamora.<br /><br />Between Bettany, Boseman, Bautista, Ruffalo, Evans, Hemsworth, and the guy playing Mbaku, there are WAAAAAAAAAY too many handsome men in this movie (and I only leave off SebStan because I CAN NOT with that disgusting hair). And even still, Danai Gurira is the only one I can look at whenever she is on screen. OKOYE (and her side-eye) FOR THE WIN.<br /><br />But seriously, that ending was so obvious it was insulting. I've already ranted about it on Brittany's review and on Letterboxd, but... first they get rid of all the B-Listers, and then all of the other leads except for the original Avengers. UGH. RIDICULOUS. Especially since they had already announced sequels for Black Panther and Spider-Man and the Guardians. They KNEW what happened at the end of this movie. They could have held off on announcing those sequels and THEN that ending MIGHT have held some genuine fear/emotion.<br /><br />If the sequel to this doesn't end up with the original Avengers sacrificing themselves to save everyone else, I will eat my hat.<br /><br />Also, I may or may not have become pregnant every time Evans appeared on screen.

That was a very good scene but way too short.<br /><br />I really don't know why and how people missed that whole bit about Strange. The writing here wasn't very sophisticated and they even had Strange say that when the push comes to shove he will choose the fate of the universe over stark and the kid. What did people think he changed his mind because Tony is really funny lol? Just ridiculous.<br /><br />Black Panther did say that. We saw Steve do that but not him doing that and saying 'let's go'. I think there is a whole scene where he is given the new shields missing from the movie. s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-50377550201465785922018-05-02T15:53:26.456+02:002018-05-02T15:53:26.456+02:00oh my God I'm so sorry :( My condolences to yo...oh my God I'm so sorry :( My condolences to you!

So sorry this comment is a novel.
In...Nice review! So sorry this comment is a novel.<br /><br />Infinity War was definitely funny, but it was a little disappointing that the humor carried onto scenes that were supposed to be meaningful (Gamora/Quill's conversation immediately interrupted by Drax comes to mind actually). But I can honestly overlook the humor, excluding what they did to Hulk. I'm just pissed about what they did to him here and in Ragnarok. But I really liked the character development for everyone else. I don't think this is the worst one yet, but it's not the absolute best - especially if Avengers 4 pulls a Walking Dead and undoes everything this one set-up.'<br /><br />While working on my Captain America posts, I thought "what if The Red Skull didn't die but disappeared into another universe". I was super proud of myself when he showed up. *tina fey high fives herself gif* lol<br /><br />Chris was highly underused, but there is alot of people to get around to. But all of his scenes in Wakanda were amazing. Him fighting Thanos and that scream he makes gives me CHILLS.<br /><br />I'm so happy I ran to the bathroom with Peter/Tony scene. I've seen gifs on tumblr and I don't know if I'll ever watch it. lol<br /><br />I don't know who I want to come back, if anybody at all - despite the fact that most of the dead ones still have contracts. I just feel like Loki's time is up, bringing back Gamora would be cheap (if only she is the one that somehow manages to kill Thanos), etc. I'm amazed that people are not reading into Strange handing over the Time Stone. Not just by him saying "this is the only way(?)" but just the way Benedict looked while handing it over - it didn't pain him at all; he wasn't upset or pissed; he looked like he was covering something up. I read on some gossip sites that think Avengers 4 is going to be set a few years after this. So if people didn't get Strange handing over the time stone, I can't imagine how lost they're going to be if we skip ahead.<br /><br />OMG THAT BIG LEBOWSKI GIF I'M LIVINGGGGGG<br /><br />OKOYE IS THE QUEEN<br /><br />I didn't realize how much was left out of the trailer - but I honestly can't remember what was left in or what I might've missed. Did Black Panther say Get This Man A Shield? Did we see Steve start up his crab hands? That run in Wakanda was epic and definitely should've been kept.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-40887317496168282862018-05-02T03:31:00.730+02:002018-05-02T03:31:00.730+02:00Hi Sati, I hope you're doing well.

After my dog died, I had a freak illness that put me in the hospital for a week, then my dad died and I've been dealing with his affairs. Just so crazy that it all happened at once. I'm having my second child in a few days...so that's been keeping me busy too! Thankfully that's something positive to focus on.<br /><br />Anywhoo, it hasn't left me much time for blogging or watching movies. I am finally coming back to check on everyone's blogs. I miss the community. I really enjoyed your review. I haven't seen it yet, but from what I read I'm going to wait for it to stream. I had big issues with the age of ultron. It sounds like the problems for the avengers film worsened. It's unfortunate b/c the Russo brothers make great captain america films. <br /><br />I totally agree w/ you about a widow film. It's sad that it's taken 20 films to get a widow film...now her character has been totally destroyed by bad writing. Atomic Blonde was so excellent. It was more widow than widow herself. I haven't seen the Jlaw sparrow film. It didn't look good.

I think they've been pretty consistent with the build there.<br /><br />I'm with you on Scarlett though. I like Black Widow a lot. And Scarlett used to be a very good actress but she has been massively phoning it in lately. Her fight alongside Wanda and Okoye was probably the coolest thing she did in the movie. <br /><br />And yaaaaaaaaaaaas all hail Okoye.

I agree with pretty much all the poi...Nice review!<br /><br />I agree with pretty much all the points. It's far from the best Marvel movie, despite it breaking all the records. Now that I know it broke records, I'm even more disappointed in it.<br /><br />I'm most frustrated about the fact that Cap didn't get a proper arc. Babysitting Vision was useless and we all knew this.<br /><br />As you know (and I'm sorry), I really liked Thor's arc in this. His storyline started off with such a shock (kind of my only one in the film), and continued to be a very simple plot. Which I actually liked, considering everything around was so hectic.<br /><br />The action sequence on Titan was better than the last action sequence. But even the one on Titan didn't beat the airport scene, nor the things in Winter Soldier. There the action was more tight, and I don't know, I just like the action scenes in Cap's trilogy more than Infinity War.<br /><br />I'm still probably going to see IW again though, but that's to see more Chris Evans and laugh. Because you're right, the movie is really funny and the comic relief it provides really made the first half of the movie pop.<br /><br />Getterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216666216639032348noreply@blogger.com
