Ah May Zing.

Not a perfect movie, but given they are trying to balance more main characters than see play in Redemption ;), an altogether excellent job of tying things together and keeping it tight.

Thanos and crew are believable evil threats (which a lot of MCU movies have lacked).

Good guys actually have character arcs and change over the course of the film.

I really liked it. I'm not entirely sure, but it's likely that it's my favorite MCU movie (I've only seen it twice so far). While I think it had a very different feel to it than any of the other MCU movies (mostly due to its ending), I don't think that was a bad thing.

My only disappointment is that I think it would have been interesting to have seen:

Spoiler (hover to show)Thanos invading Xandar and more of the fight with the Asgardian Refugees, but the movie was already pretty long and the beginning was good without it and I don't know enough about movie pacing to know if that would have thrown it off. They could also show the attack on Xandar in a Nova movie.

Don't believe the hype

I felt there were holes throughout the story line. The film is a lot of repetition of the same scene with different characters.

In the end the moral compass marvel movies communicate is that when you suffer you react with violence. They have chosen to depict some of the violence as good and some of it as evil, but in the end suffering=violence.

For me, it had a high entertainment value upon first watching it but the more I think on it the more I realize it was just a smash and be smashed movie.

I didn't *dislike* it.

I personally tend to be a character-driven viewer, and the simple fact is that this movie didn't have a lot of character development. With such a wide cast, most of the movie was taking established characters and having them meet/prepare for a fight/fight. The vast majority for character development was on the part of Thanos himself - and while I love a believable and well-developed villain, it was also painfully generic and obvious. The fight scenes were good, for the most part. Still a few times where it felt like the camera was having a seizure (particularly at the beginning of the big battle at the end), but it's an improvement over several of the previous movies. The humor was dialed back a tad, which I also appreciated - Thor:Ragnarok and Guardians 2 were almost more comedy than superhero movies.

All in all, it's all right imo. It's not amazing (and it's not even the best Marvel movie) but it's gonna make ludicrous amounts of money anyway.

Wah wah!

Totally enjoyed this movie. Thanos' character development was excellent and the film perfectly sets up the final fourth Avengers movie. The theater was completely silent when it ended. Only wish there was more Steve Rogers  :'(
