Review of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) by Eludiumq36 — 11 Aug 2018

Probably the only film of 2018 if not ever that's revenued over $2B worldwide, so there's no denying its popularity and repeat viewing. I, myself, thought it was a mess of tangled characters and half-a$$ed jokes, I mean, I just saw Deadpool 2 and there's a commitment to humor and pop-culture refs! I love how Thanos came across as a sympathetic figure.

Finally, a superhero movie where the "good guys", even when all gang up on one figure, don't prevail. That's a bit of realism that's refreshing. I could nit pick here and there but overall I'm impressed with and have great respect for a production of this scale.

Has there ever been a film with so many A-listers all vying for screen time?! And to add first-rate CGI also? The entire production staff - over 15000 according to end credits - really worked for their money on this one.

BTW, the obtuse ending wasn't appreciated, why would they do that? I understand cliffhangers and loose ends but this particular ending just didn't square up with what preceded it.
