Watched it last night. Loved it, a million times better than the first two. Mainly do to thanos being amazing and the guardians getting lots of screen time.

Just watched IW, enjoyed it and definitely one of the better marvel movies.. I am definitely feeling Marvel fatigue though.

There are some genuinely funny moments in this movie, Thanos is good and Vision gets a couple of good scenes for a change. My problem with these movies is that even though shit goes down there's still no real sense of threat as you just know the good guys will eventually always win regardless.

Well yeah, you know that they're just going to resurrect any important franchise characters in the next one. There's money to be made!

Just got back. It is not like over the top or something but seriously that was good.

It is more dark than anticipated and there was always time for humourous moments.

But all in all it was one of the most interesting marvel films ever watched.

@bad09 personally I loved the ending. I didn't even know it was a two part story as well. That final shot before it Faded to black was perfect.

Technically I didn't see it as a cliffhanger. If there wasn't another avengers movie that can stand alone. I dont actually want there to be another one because I want the story to finish like that.

I did like that scene I just think they could handled things a bit better for a climax coming a year away. It just felt limp and it hurt everything up to that point in the film. You can do effective cliffhangers and while the plot is certainly a cliff hanger the emotion just wasn't there like something like Empire or Back to the future 2 as it just ended like an ad break and felt so flat after such a ride.

Oh and what rock you been living under if you didn't know it was a 2 parter

But really it's not a cliffhanger, technically it's a film from Thanos' perspective so there is no cliffhanger. I didn't think it was flat at all, in fact there was a lot of emotion. I'm confused as to how you could have missed all that emotion.

It definitely worked. It was bold and extremely well executed.

Marvel films are normally really solid spectacle, but storywise, they're generally 'okay'. That ending elevated the film - how many films do we really see where 'destroying the universe' and the villain's crazy schemes actually come to fruition?

They've said all along, from the re-naming from "Part 1" etc, that this is explicitly not "one movie split into two parts". I love how it could legit just end like that rather than being a deliberately troll-y cliffhanger.

Well that was awesome and the post credits scene made me laugh at the person in questions choice of final word.

You�re the only person I�ve heard criticism it so far. I don�t know what you would have liked them to have shown to flesh it out considering what happens. It�s pretty perfect filmmaking, leaving you shocked and waiting. Anything more would be milking it, or just unnecessary content. It�s not cutting short the impact, it�s leaving the viewer in the same state as the remaining heroes.

Have read up on what happens in this film. What a waste of time it sounds like. There's absolutely no weight whatsoever to "killing" a bunch of characters everyone knows *full well* are going to be resurrected in the next one so they can continue filming the sequels to their own little franchises.

But pretty much everything he does will be undone in the next one.

*yawn*

Er, welcome to comics?

Like I said for a year long cliff hanger

Except, as everyone has tried to explain, that's not what it is.

Saw it today. Absolutely loved Thanos and the Black Order, found there was way too much comedy from the Avengers. I get that they're not DC and want to keep it light but it really felt out of place for me in this one. Still best of the Avengers movies overall but that was essentially thanks to the villain.

It was a cliffhanger. I wouldn't really argue that it's a particularly well-done one, because you're under no illusions that the story will actually end like this. The best cliffhangers leave you wondering what will happen next, and you don't get that here. There will be some bullshit to undo it involving time travel or pocket universes or whatever, and that will be that.

Not that it was a terrible ending or anything. It was different to how these films normally end. I just don't really see the fuss either way.

Anyone think the ones vapourised are the ones that aren�t dead since they are the ones with sequels?

People should not be in an Infinity War thread if they don't want to hear people talking about Infinity War. TV shows, someone might be slightly behind/ahead, so fair enough. Film threads, nope.

Dumb and salty people need to learn the hard way sometimes. I only came into this thread once I'd seen the film, it's common sense.

Wowsers that film has left me feeling like i'd been in the fight against thanos. I genuinely feel beaten up by the events.

So i must appluad the film. The way Thanos killed off Loki at the start set the tone and set me into game of thrones mode, really not knowing who would die through out. That said, I do have a minor gripe with how Loki "the god of mischief" really was badly served with how he died. Surely he would have had a better plan of trying to trick Thanos...

Other than that I loved it. Bring on the next one!

As much as I enjoyed this I'd never put the words "perfect film making" anywhere near it.

Notice how it�s the old guard who survive? Original Avengers are still intact. I think they�ll all die for real in the next film and have Black Panther in the Tony Stark etc.
