Seeing to get this thread going as we are 3 days away from the premiere.
So far no reviews yet as they will be coming in on Wednesday. But one person has already said the following
"lets put it this way, you will cry and the ending will be monumental. Its quite obvious that when the movie finishes, you will know the title of the next film and segways into the people that arent in the movie"
Spiderman Homecoming was pretty good (Surprised Shocker wasn't as involved in it).
Thor was fun especially with Haulk being involved.
I would like that because Thor is probably my favorite Marvel hero.
The movie may overpower him a bit.
"the best marvel ending"

As one of my Marvel friends comments. Somebody is going to need Odin force to stop Thanos, the other guys are just getting shots in to fill time. Thor assume has that given its his father? What other Marvel guys have this? Dr Doom, Loki, Galactus, Silver Surfer?

They are saving that for the all-female reboot.

is Thor vs Thanos and Thor has Stormbreaker this go around and is beating Thanos. Right before Thor can finish him, Thanos activates the Gauntlet and erases half of universe or something like that. Not sure how true that is but it sure sounds cool. Also they said that scene where you see the avengers running through the jungle is when the see Thor has arrived and is putting a whooping on Thanos. It rejuvenates the Avengers to rejoin the fight.

I thought Thanos is a figure into a part 2. Has that changed? Somebody has to die or get hobbled into ineffectiveness.

I really doubt there are "actual" character deaths in these movies. Pretty sure the next wave of Marvel Cinematic Universe will deal with the Skull invasion of Earth, especially with the Captain Marvel films. Who ever dies off can easily be accounted for a shape shifting Skull who was killed instead of the original.
That would allow Downey, Evans, Hemsworth or whoever else contract expires to leave but return down the line in future films if called upon and $$$ agreed to.
Seems quite disappointing IMO.
It has been verified as correct by multiple journalists.
Infinity War Full Spoilers - ( New Window )

And how is the Red Skull able to levitate?

On the gauntlet, I didn't notice, I so surprised they let it happen, I didn't look that close.
Hawkeye is credited but not in the film.
Dr. Strange states, “it was the only way”, right before he dies. What does that mean?
Also not a fan that Loki, Gamora and Vision are all listed in the sequel. All three were confidently killed in the film; are we led to believe they cheat death?
I figured that would happen, but I'm curious how far back they take it. Who gets brought back.
He can still die in the sequel. Can’t believe this is what someone is bitching about after 2.5 hours of the most epic Marvel movie yet.

It’s all about money. Fucking Captain should have died a heroic death but nope.

Agreed. Some of the characters will die ‘for good’ in the next movie. I think it’s, at minimum, Iron Man and Captain America.
Clearly
The action was good, and I think they did a nice job of balancing the roles of so many different characters, but it felt like they didn’t take any risks, there were no big surprises (other than the return of Red Skull but let’s see if that ends up being significant in the grand scheme of things), and with some of the choices they made of who would “die” they made it fairly obvious that this isn’t permanent. The best example of this would be Spider-Man, there is a Spider-Man sequel coming out next summer, it’s pretty obvious that he is not going to stay dead. If they would have “killed” Tony, Cap, Thor, Hulk, or anyone else that doesn’t have a sequel on the way then at least there would be some suspense around whether any of this was permanent.
I also was hoping for a big reveal of some sort in the post credits. Thanos mentioned that he had destroyed Xandar to get the first stone which sets up the origin of Nova. I would have been pumped to see him teased after the credits, but instead we get a nod to Captain Marvel which we already knew was coming.
I want to watch it again, maybe my expectations were too high going in and upon a second viewing I will appreciate it more, but I definitely left the theater disappointed.
I also think the soul stone will play a role in retrieving the heroes. The scene with Thanos and the young Gamora is probably in the soul stone.
But instead, they "killed off" Black Panther! Just a minor side character, right? Oh wait, no, Black Panther just had a huge movie.
And Spiderman! Ya know, the super hero people love and continually flock to any Spiderman movie, no matter how bad it is.
Right, no balls.
The meaningful death's in this one would be Loki and Gamora I think. I thought it was good. The large cast was unwieldy at points and the story suffered because of it, but it was a good movie. The action scene were good and you could always tell what was going on. But for me, it very much felt like the first half of a movie.
Other than that the movie was epic though. Thanos was great.
And what is she capable of that assists the entire MCU now that a battle with Thanos is no longer needed (for now)?

Yes, no balls because we know they are coming back!
The downfall of the entire MCU is that major characters can never die. Balls would mean killing off BP and leaving him dead! THAT’S being dedicated to the story line and not to profits.

Presumably we’ll find that out in her movie.
Clearly the next film will involve getting the Gauntlet from Thanos. She will play a key role in that. Maybe she’s filling the role that Adam Warlock filled in the Infinity Gauntlet comic book series.
And how is the Red Skull able to levitate?
Just saw the movie, the gauntlet is torn apart and barely still attached. My theory is they get the Time stone back and reverse time to just when Thor throws the axe at Thanos but this time he aims the head
That said, having now learned of this stuff and reflecting on the seeming inevtability of the lost characters coming back, certainly loses some of the oomph I thought the film had. We'll see what they do.

I agree they use the time stone, but think they go further back. And I also think the soul stone plays a role somehow.
I don’t believe the reversing of the resolution will involve the Infinity Stones.
I think it could involve the Quantum Realm of AntMan and Multiverse of Doctor Strange.
It will be resolved in the next movie so how about we wait until the story is complete.
Because after a while we come to the reality that superhero’s are invinsible. At which point the films become less dramatic as we realize sticky situations will result in positive outcomes.
I mean, a dozen superheroes are now dead and we realize all are coming back to life. Not really climatic.

That might be where some don't come back and some do because of the "Soul for a Soul" deal
I enjoyed the movie. It obviously is half a story, we get the rest next year. I don't go to Marvel movies for serious drama, I go for fun popcorn movies and they usually deliver.

This is an incomplete line of reasoning, in my opinion.
We know that most of these characters are coming back, yes. But we don't know the how or the "what else?" We don't know the plot to get them back.
By that logic, no nonfiction movie can be climatic. We know what's going to happen after all!
The whole idea of a hero falls apart. If we know the main character is going to survive, why watch the movie at all? We know he/she is going to survive!

If we know a hero can't die, then the audience becomes less invested in fight scenes. There's less emotions involved when a hero is in a sticky situation because we know they are eventually going to circumvent it.
How exactly does this make the entire viewing experience better?
Only real complaints I had was there is very little Winter Soldier, Capt, and Hulk in it and I don't love the GoG involvement.
Yup. That part will be great. I was thinking that from a storytelling standpoint (and probably financially considering the contracts of everyone that was in this first movie) that the next movie will really be a better narrative because they won't have to bounce around as much.
I loved it, but it does strain under the amount of characters involved.
