jimjum12 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I never really cared for continued stories.... especially with a couple years between..... but the movie was so good otherwise that I'll be OK.... maybe they're setting up a Marvel/ D.C. crossover for "Crisis On Infinite Earths" ....not. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Namor Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Saw it a second time in the theater, which I never do, and this time made a few notes for myself. I'll apply spoilers, just in case. Spoiler Thanos' biggest mistake is in the first scene of the movie when he doesn't make sure Thor is dead. From a writer's standpoint, Thor should deliver the final blow in Part 2 that defeats Thanos. It certainly seems they are setting it up that way. Even at the end of this movie, when Thor almost DOES stop him, and Thanos tells him, "You should've went for the head", I thought, Hmmmm.... Thor returning in Wakanda, as a real God of Thunder, is one of my favorite parts of the movie. They made Ebony Maw a pretty cool bad guy. Man, Doctor Strange has, just like that become a huge part of the MCU. BC plays him perfect. Thanos calls Spider-man an insect. Spider's are NOT insects. They are arachnids. I'm glad Hawkeye isn't in the movie. Is it just me, or is the Vision in the MCU kind of a disappointment? I always thought that at maximum density, he was one of the stronger heroes, but, he's just been somewhat of a whiny baby in these movies. I love the final scene. Thanos stepping outside his hut, and sitting down contently looking at the sky. I am excited at the idea of Captain Marvel, yes, the newer one, being one of the most powerful charcters in the MCU. Her appearance in the next movie, I am really looking forward to. Everyone else seemed underwhelmed by the end credit scene, but when that emblem showed up on Fury's device, I got goosebumps. I can't wait to see her kick some butt! So happy with this movie. I think it is on par with a Lord of the Rings type of movie. After the disappointment of that horrible turd Civil War, I had given up on the idea that Marvel might make a movie again with some real emotion. Doctor Strange was good, but Homecoming was so-so and GOTG2 and especially Ragnarok had far too much of that goofy humor, that just undermines any sort of real dramatic effect. Good drama should always have some comedic relief, but when it gets to the point where you're practically looking at the camera and winking, it's just too much. But going into this, Black Panther gave me some hope, as it too was a well done movie. I acn't wait for the finale next year! jimjum12 and ComicConnoisseur 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why most people were probably underwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, or already knew CM is in the works and wasn’t blown away. For me, it was a lame end credit scene...granted probably for good reason considering all the secrecy surrounding this project.

Or they just enjoy watching superheroes wallop each other with a bunch of power pyrotechnics. There was a whole bunch of that, and that's usually all it takes for kids to love it.

Bosco685 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Just think, if you tally up every Marvel movie ever made (not even accounting for USD inflation), we are talking about Infinity War is 4.16% of the overall worldwide box office across 55 movies. Incredible! Adjusted USD, it is still 3.8% of the worldwide box office total. Edited May 8, 2018 by Bosco685 Added Thor: Ragnarok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szav Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Absolutely Loved it. Can’t wait for the sequel. I can see why people who haven’t seen all the movies leading up to it wouldn’t be thrilled with it or would have trouble following it, but I thought they did about as good a job as was possible weaving together so many different storylines. Loved the ending, reminded me of Game of Thrones when GoT was still good. comic_memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
