Miraculously, every single scene and character feels correct and a natural evolution of what has been shown in these previous films.and Infinity War is paced so well, no one outstays their welcome. This film, Avengers: Infinity War, involves almost every major character from all the previous films, many of whom have never interacted before, and jams them together in interesting an unexpected ways. A group of people, in varying styles, collectively created 18 films, some good, some great, and some inconsequential, and made them all fit together, despite disparate elements, into a whole that could be paid off in one film.

It is the culmination of 18 previous films.

I think some of these Marvel movies are pretty damned good, and that some of them are pretty silly.Īvengers: Infinity War is objectively an incredible achievement. I've read far more comics published by Dark Horse and Vertigo than Marvel or DC. I haven't seen any Marvel movie on opening night, though I've eventually seen all but two.

You have fair, well-reasoned reviews, which are boring and don't prove my point, so let's act like those don't exist. You've got the particular type of Marvel nerd who doesn't understand how movies work, complaining that every minor detail of the comic books hasn't made it to the screen. Very similarly, you've got the zeitgeist reviewers who start writing ten minutes into the movie, just wanting to get their half-baked opinion out there first. Check out half of the reviews that appeared on Rotten Tomatoes on Thursday. You have people who are faintly aware of Marvel mythology, and who just can't quite remember the fine details of past Marvel films-even though they've apparently reviewed all of them-who want to make definitive statements, though these don't hold up to scrutiny. You have the film snob who couches every sentence with the idea that these are silly, artless films that adults should only treat as dessert after watching whatever indie flavor of the month is popular with people who go gaga over every indie flavor of the month. You see a lot of interesting divergences in reviews for Marvel films due to reviewers having such wildly divergent perspectives.
