Review of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) by Dtl — 27 Apr 2018

There are a large number of good points to this movie. The most salient is that it gives just about every character in the movie a chance to shine, and they largely do so. Additionally, you don't have to have watched all the individual movies leading up to it; the plot threads continued from movies I haven't seen are comprehensible and interesting in their own rights.

The main issue is that this is a very, very long movie, and at times it shows. Each character's thread is good, but the transitions are often very quick, and not very smooth. It is possible to lose track of exactly where each part of the plot was by the time you get back to it. This could be viewed as a lack of cohesion if you aren't interested in exactly what they are doing right now.

Overall it was fun, engaging, and well made. It would have a higher score if not for its length, and the fact that some of its implications for the general MCU going forward, I do not believe.
