Locked AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR v.5 (First Critics Reviews)

[Pittie Petey]

I’m all in!

Gonna reserve tickets for the first showing.

You may wanna get on that soon
All the theaters in my area are already almost sold out for Thursday night

 

[liljoe]

fuck me, that's sounds terrifying. imagine, retard strength combined with roid rage.

You mean Mongo.

 

[AgentSmecker]

I'm actually glad they made him like this.
Thanos is supposed to get a lot of screen time here. It's his movie.
A deep, monsterish voice, and red or white eyes wouldn't work for a movie that has him at the forefront. It would look too cartoonish and distracting, imo. We don't need the character forgotten because we ended up focusing more on his voice ( a la Nolan Batman and Bane)

I think they're focusing on his smarts here. With Brolin's voice and the shit that Thanos does and says..it can most definitely be menacing and scary

I don't know if this has been posted, but...from Joe Russo...

"Interestingly enough, I'll start out by saying Thanos, even though he's not a character that had a huge preexisting story in the Marvel universe. He was a threat, but he was not developed in any way up to this point. Thanos has an incredible amount of screen time in this film, in a lot of ways I would say it's his movie. Our job when we make these films - and what we feel is important to us - is to surprise the audience. We wanted to tell a story that they weren't expecting, and the story is told from the point of view of a villain, which I think is also really unique and risky for a commercial film that will surprise the audience. I think this is a market where the audience really enjoys innovation and disruption, and we want to do something innovative in this space. So I think Thanos has an incredible amount of screen time, and I think you'll find that Thor has a really interesting arc in the film. He hasn't been at the forefront of other Avengers movies, but he certainly has a very important role in this film. So I'll say, Thanos and Thor."

Thor and Thanos have the most screen time. I knew that this was going to be Thanos' movie, so im not surprised about him, but I didn't think Thor would be that big a player here.
Interestinggg

Finally sounds like they're gonna put some respect on Thor's name.

I do wonder how they're going to do this going forward now that Marvel has most of their characters back.
Part of me loves these long, plans that lead to a big bad...but the other side of me feels it will be much more difficult to do this going forward--and will probably take away from the individual movies .

The Avengers, the Xmen, and the Fantastic 4 are pretty much THE Marvel teams. And although they have all teamed up together in the past, they also have their own separate villains , struggles, and agendas. If you put the Xmen in to help against Galactus then why don't the Avengers or the F4 help with the Dark Phoenix, or Apocalypse ?
I don't see how it will be feasible to keep doing mashups like these...particularly with the Xmen. They have a lot of their own shit going on, and usually deal with other mutants

Well i sort of agree that it will be harder and may be "too much" at some point tbut they don't need to do many mashups. Have X-Men , FF etc have a bunch of standalone movies each with their respective villains (Dr Doom , Magneto etc) while still be part of the same universe and then just do one movie where they all team up to take on Galactus. Have some cameos and references in other movies (IE : Prof Xavier has a small cameo in FF talking to Reed Richards or something like that) and slowly build up the Galactus threat in the background. Basically they can just do the same thing they did in phase 1-3 but with less interactions between each franchises. It can still work if done properly but the downside is that it may feel a little repetitive.

Mongo only pawn in game of life

I believe FX is gonna run a marathon of every Marvel MCU film up to the Black Panther prior to the Infinity War premiere. So keep an eye out if you want to catch them.

They aren’t necessary viewing, but definitely help the total overall picture.

AMC is running 31 hour marathons with all the movies.

A must see if you enjoy the flavor of Mountain Dew paired with stale popcorn, agonizing eye strain and the natural scent of neckbeards.

 

[YellowBanenoo]

Meh

 

[LuchaBear]

Maybe we get to see Cap and Bucky vs Thanos here.

 

[LuchaBear]

@Dragonlordxxxxx

Higher quality version

 

[MikeMcMann]

Not just the longest MCU movie but Bucky also has the longest magazine ever. Look at that thing!

He's been hanging out with the Wakandan's and is starting to feel a little inadequate and is compensating for something...

Spoiler

...their superior technology.

 

[ufcfan4]

Maybe we get to see Cap and Bucky vs Thanos here.

I think it'd be pretty dope if we got WS, Cap, AND Stark against Thanos in that moment so it's like a reversal of when Rogers and Bucky had to face off against Iron Man at the end of Civil War. All three of them on the same page against Thanos would be legit.

we have seen a lot of great movies these past centuries, great action flick, exhilarating adventure movies, drama movies with deep meaning and lots of hilarious comedy.

but a successful cinematic universe, i don't think that is ever been achieved before.

i can't wait to be part of this historic event.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Awesome Infinity War cover art for the latest Empire Magazine.

I'm with him. The last thing I would want is your CG'd up voice over and look. This is definitely a 'to each their own' thing.

Well I would argue the Tolkien movies and Star Wars movies represent Cinematic Universes.

To me a CU has to be more than just sequels or prequels. They have to create a universe or world where many tangential story lines and characters can exist but there is always that connection.

I really can't express enough how much respect I have for what Feige and co. have done in building this up over the years. When you think back to just a decade ago, just a decade- there was just Iron Man. That was it. And now ten years later, just look at Avengers Infinity War and how much many of us as fans are invested in this because of how well all these other films have done in adding to the universe.

I have to disagree those movie are more like every other movie with sequels, to be a cinematic universe, it must have lots of different movie with different plot line all connecting in one universe and once in a while they crossover and making something that are gigantic.

Star wars is no different from fast and furious or Triple X, a great franchise but not a cinematic universe.

exactly, i hope they are compensated well.

Excuse me for the interruption but if you haven't yet, you guys should check out COUNTERPART. It's one, if not, the best drama airing on TV right now. Brilliant series.



That's all. Carry on.
