Saw Infinity War last night. I was left speechless. Love the Russo Brothers direction and story telling. Probably gonna see it multiple times there was soooo much that happened.

Non-spoiler review of Infinity War

Holy shit. Don't get up to piss at any point in this movie.

-Thanos is by far the best villain the MCU has had. Nobody is close.

-So much going on at the same time. If you're familiar with the MCU it's easy enough to keep up, if you're brand new to this you're going to be confused.

-All of the characters have their moment and they're all pretty great in those moments.

-They do a good job of getting everyone a decent amount of screen time, but there are a few characters you'd expect have more than don't.

-The humor is really good but it's not overdone. Don't expect it to be like Ragnarok.

-Thor probably had my favorite moments and got the second most screen time next to Thanos.

-There really weren't any bad performances.

-CGI was really good with a couple of small exceptions

-Lots of surprises

-People having been calling out the MCU for their movies not having any stakes. Well, they got what they wanted. The stakes are very real in Infinity War.

Re Thanos... you are right. Best villain so far. Brolin was great. Black Order was well done too.

Yeah he was kind of terrifying IMO.

BTW I love that Spider-Man’s plans in battle are always from old movies and they always work just like in the movies. That’s pretty funny to me.

Saw this tonight - literally my only gripe was that the Black Order wasn't nearly their comics counterparts. I thought the first part of the movie would be them just decimating everyone.

As others said, how they portrayed Thanos was amazing.

Completely disagree. I won't going into spoiler territory but what you're talking about isn't real, or at least isn't permanent.

Wow wow wow.

I saw some of that coming, but at the same time DID NOT see it coming.

Can we do a spoilers thread

I am really bummed that I didn't get to hear Boyd Crowder's voice in that trailer.

A kid made a resume for Groot and it's highly accurate

Everyday before I drop my kid off at school I tell him "I Love You" and "Maximum Effort"
