Avengers: Infinity War Review Thread

I think most people in that thread are just happy this seems like a good representation of Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet story, and that there seems to some good fanservice for fans of comics and movies.
My favorite comic period is Zero Hour, Damage the boy from Georgia saved the day
Working my way through the thread, but some of those reviews... gahd dayum!
Roll on Wednesday night!

To be clear, I'm glad that they offer it. I'm just saying that it's hidden and people seem to just look at the big Tomatometer score which can be misleading. A movie can have 90% yet have average review scores that are quite a bit lower than that. I always look at the average score and do so almost immediately.
A seven definitely isn't bad to me. It's a B. It's not great, though, either. These superhero movies are talked about like they're something amazing that'll be looked down upon and cherished for years to come and be like classic movies decades from now, when they generally don't hold a candle to some of the greats.
That's the thing. Those aren't great scores. They're solid, but the ways these movies are bandied about carries the air of something amazing that's received a 9/10 or will hold up and be revered in years to come. Not decent popcorn and explosion flicks.
A C (American scale) isn't a great test score. A B is better, and that's what that is in Canada on a less crazy scale, but even then it's not an A or anything truly excellent.
The way RT has been the last few big movies that came out I'm saying this film is going to hit 100%
The tomatometer is a good tool as well. It tells you the percent of critics who recommend the film. Similar to Roger Ebert's thumbs up and thumbs down system.
Danielle snuck into JabariLand with a smile and was never seen again.
Girtz is gone for good or taking a break?
It's no Bleck Pentha.
Can't believe Danielle made a bet that this movie would make less money than BP
Girtz is gone for good
88 is actually a really good metacritic score. Movies have won best picture that have had worse. There hasn't been a blockbuster since lord of the rings that's scored that high. Black panther and TLJ have extremely abnormal metacritic scores. I don't know why, theyre good but not all time classics imo.
She seemed to like it quite a bit. But all through the review she keeps pointing out how she feels it does things that other moves have been criticized for and she wants to see how people react to it. She still seems to very much have the mindset that Marvel movies get preferential treatment by press and fans compared to a certain other studio. I really like her stuff but I wish she'd chill with that.
I think at this point we know that the Russo's are good directors and that they can handle ensemble casts pretty well. Like, yeah this is a bit higher stakes in terms of being a culmination, but even if the RT score isn't as godlike as some were hoping for, it's very unlikely that the movie will disappoint most Marvel fans
This ain't Zack Snyder with his long line of stinkers (even though imo man of steel was pretty decent) tackling the first ever Batman/Superman live action crossovers. Russo's and Feige are proven quantities

Oh shit I forgot about her bet.
Why is Girtz gone? Falling out?
She didn't specify domestic.
I'm not a fan of metacritic for movies, it's pretty wacked.
I'm glad it's reviewing well, but Marvel Studios earned my trust a long time ago...I'm tempted to read the reviews but I don't want to get spoiled... out here playing frogger with these spoilers til Thursday
I want a big loud spectacle with lots of fanservice. And I want Thanos to be an absolute force and for the audience left feeling mournful.
I get that and I'll be good.

He got other shit to do. The show just took up too much time.
I have not read one review or watched one impressions, cause I was in 10 years ago and nothing has changed. I just need to watch Dr. Strange to be caught up
Stop converting movie grades into test score grades. A 7 on the RT is a good movie. Only 5 comic book movies have ever scored more an 8 or better on that scale. And plenty of oscar winning beloved movies score in the 7 range on RT.
Age of Ultron saw a big drop from Avengers.
So did Civil War.
Infinity War needs some magic. Big opening weekend but will it have the legs? Depends.
I love Grace too, but yeah, she goes bonkers with some stuff, although I try to just have fun with her rants.
Nonetheless, she still does seem bitter about DC flopping hard.
Those critics have always hated marvel and comic films. So it's a nothing burgeryikes some of the top critics really dislike it
Some...interesting...opinions on movies looking at these guys' profiles mind, I'll say that much.yikes some of the top critics really dislike it

Obviously they are biased (they are fan of the genre), but I tend to fall in line where these guys are usually at

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I see you are a man of culture.

That's fine. My point is in defense of the RT 1-10 scale. It's a good scale.
