Infinity War movie review
It gets an OMFG, just incredible. An amazing movie on multiple levels. The 10 year and entire MCU build up pays off in the most epic way. Tons of cgi, but I barely noticed as the story was so compelling. Thanos was just insane! So good that Josh Brolin could get an academy nomination as a CGI character. They nailed the difficult task of weaving so many characters into one epic film. I've had low expectations about it going in and was blown away. I've never seen a movie like that, seriously. I wouldn't bring younger children as it's not their typical super hero movie. It's very dark, darker than Empire Strikes Back as it's effectively a Thanos movie. He's not the typical bad guy that you see here and there, he's the star amongst many stars. Kudos to Marvel for pulling this off.

Taking my son for his Bday today and a bunch of other boys. Should be fun.

Nice! I'd be cautious about taking a young kid to this. I'm not going to spoil, but it is an Infinity War and it is dark.HokieHam wrote:Taking my son for his Bday today and a bunch of other boys. Should be fun.

He'd probably be ok. Trying not to spoil, the end is more like Empire Strikes Back than your typical Marvel Movie.HokieHam wrote:He’s 13.awesome guy wrote:Nice!

Epic. They did a Heck of a job with all the characters.

Took my three boys last night. Even the wife went, and she normally takes advantage of me and the kids being out of the house. [emoji23]
My kids loved it.

Re: Infinity War movie review
Do you have to see all of the previous Super Hero movies first to understand the storyline? I've only seen a few. How many are there anyway? Might be a good long term project.

Re: Infinity War movie review
It certainly helps to watch all 18 or however many! It starts where Ragnarok left off so it helps to see that first.Techmomof2 wrote:Do you have to see all of the previous Super Hero movies first to understand the storyline? I've only seen a few.
