What can I say? I'm way more excited by this than Star Wars, by far.

Infinity War really raised the game with what you can do with a superhero movie and a blockbuster at the same time.

Just re-watching Infinity War now. It's got a lot to live up to!

Russo brothers are excellent directors, and have increased their depth with each film.

Embargo on reviews lifted tomorrow.

Going Friday but out Thursday I believe with some back to back Infinity War showings.

You have to watch every single Marvel movie or you won't understand everything. If you start now, you should be finished by Friday.

Probably not. You should though, it's a decent film.

I hadn't seen Dr Strange and it was on telly the other day, so I sat down to catch up..
Yeah, still haven't seen Dr Strange (except for the first 20 mins). Utter garbage 😆

A full 20 minutes?

Glad to see you gave it a chance then.

Just get a child to watch them all then explain them to you. Much more entertaining.

Probably a bit more than 20 minutes.. but it definitely got worse as it went on 🙂

[i]haven’t seen Thor: Ragnorok[/i]

One of the best ones, I reckon.

Think I skipped the first 20 minutes until he started doing magic n stuff. Then the special effects and the fights were quite entertaining and I don't ask for much more from a Marvel film tbh.

As a primer/refresher - we did Civil War / GOTG2 / Thor: Ragnarok / Infinity War.

You could add in Dr Strange / Ant-Man / Spiderman: Homecoming / Captain Marvel / Black Panther if you want the origins. However Captain Marvel and Black Panther whilst both contain interesting elements are very average films.

The top four get the plot to where it needs to be in my mind.

I do get a bit confused about Wanda and Vision though, can't remember much about them.

Infinity War has just come down in price on VOD/Buy. It was sat at £14.00 for a while. £9.99 on HD with bonus shite.

22 films and 18bn box office. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe_films

No superheros and no children's book adaptations is my rule. A tortured Peter Parker might be my exception.

I had my doubts when I saw it at the cinema. Didn't know if the humour ruined the action or vice versa. Saw it on BluRay and have since stuck right up there with Captain America, the first Avengers and Civil War.

Your rule to not watch entertaining films?

No superheros

No Deadpool? No Incredibles?

Most of the Marvels I wouldn't have watched if I hadn't had a son who wanted to go, but I really would've missed out! (and Guardians of the Galaxy!)

THE best one, by a long way IMO! Great story, rather than just people/monsters punching each other (although there is a lot of that 😃)

Why do people with high technology and superpowers rely so much on thumping things as their primary means of attack and defence?

Why are people with time-travel ever taken by surprise?

is it even possible to "spoil" a superhero movie? There will be much punching, the baddies will get the upper hand, then the good guys will win. No-one will die (permanently). (Actually [I]one[/I] might die this time, as the actor wants out!!)

Why do people question the validity of superhero film plots? Even I don't do that!

I thought it was pretty well known who is out and so pretty certain to die? Not going to say what I have read because a) that would be pretty dickish and b) may be wrong anyway.

It's always good to know the ending of a film I haven't seen 🙂

Sorry, I assumed anyone with an active interest would have seen it by now.

Have you seen The Usual Suspects? You'll never guess who did it.

It's perhaps easier to just not discuss what happens at the end of either film, just in case some might see Infinity War for the first time.

It is effectively a two-parter.

If you want to discuss when it's proper to spoil films do it in another thread.

Critical thoughts are very much welcome.
