Review of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) by Cres26 — 29 Apr 2018

Where to begin with this, I suppose starting off with the good first would be a good start. Thanos comes off as a fantastic villain, his motivations for his actions are actually justified and is a problem the real world will eventually face.

Unfortunately though if you're a comic book fan this is about all that will come out of this. Not that the movie is bad, but Thanos has a ridiculous amount of plot armor. Doctor Strange had the opportunities to completely avoid any and all of this mess by simply sending Thanos to another dimension for example but Doctor Strange never used his full power on Thanos.

Also after meeting the Guardians of the Galaxy and learning that Thanos had Gamora, couldn't Doctor Strange just teleport to her and bring her back thus preventing Thanos from getting the Soul stone? Or Doctor Strange could've brought everyone back to Earth and we could've had Thanos fighting all of the heroes.

On the surface this movie will seem good, there are deaths, a justified villain, and some funny moments. But the fact that my girlfriend who's only exposure to the Marvel Universe has been the movies can sit with me and poke holes in the plot proves that the writers didn't know how to handle the more powerful characters in this.

Overall if they didn't include the Sorcerer Supreme this movie would've made a lot more sense on why things happen like they do.
