Review of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) by Stayclassy-Cp — 27 Apr 2018

I couldnt decide if this movie was a 6 or 7 in my mind. I went with a 7 because I feel like once im a little further removed from my first viewing ill think a little higher of it. first off this movie was crazy entertaining.

I loved all the scenes with thanos in them, and I heavily enjoyed 99% of this movie. but god damn that 1%. without a doubt the worst moment/writing in the entire marvel cinematic universe. you know what im talking about if youve seen this movie.

when thanos had all but been beaten on titan. while mantis subdued him, the gauntlet was no more than a few moments from being taken from him. then starlord turned into an emotional little **** and shot at him for killing gamora, freeing him from mantises powers.

SERIOUSLY?! you mean to tell me the character peter quill is so infinitely dumb that he cant see that thanos is seconds away from losing what is the ultimate power in the universe? and in his uncontrollable rage *sarcasm* cant help himself but to shoot at thanos? this is such a horrible horrible writing flaw that is so easily remedied.

if someone is truly so angry with somebody else would there first move in their anger be to help that persons immediate problem? no. a believable response wouldve been to help remove the gauntlet so that they could fight and defeat him, or literally ANYTHING else.

it was also a missed opportunity to add to thanos as a villian. he couldve broken free from their hold and beaten the heroes despite them giving absolutely all that they had, making the task of stopping him seem even more hopeless.

mantis even tells the others to hurry because she couldnt hold thanos for long because he is so powerful. but no, they decided to crap on what was previously one of the best characters in marvel. its such a dumb moment and its really hard for me to look past which is a shame because the movie had many great scenes.
