    Got my tickets for tomorrow night! Reviews are looking real solid as of right now, 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, not one of the MCUs absolute best but still really high. Plus you know some critics were just chomping at the bit to give this a thumbs down with all of the characters in it. 
    This is so true. If you are seeing critics complain about character development they have missed the point. This is the culmination of ten years of character development throughout a series of films. Which isn't to say the movie cannot have flaws but that one in particular doesn't hold water.
    Soooooo.....someone like me who has watched maybe 2 or 3 of these movies over the years will be able to follow or is this for straight up hardcore fans.  
    Which 2 or 3? I would recommend Avengers 1, Captain America: Civil War and Guardians of the Galaxy. If you can follow those I would imagine you'll be able to follow this.
    Saw a few Iron Mans and the first Thor movie.  I watched Civil War with my son and literally had no clue what was going on.....

    The main critical complaints right now are just that there is too much going on and that it feels too much like part 1 and not enough like it’s own thing. 
    yeah i have a feeling it's gonna be like Age of Ultron where too much is going on.  Heard Infinity War is like 2 1/2 hours.

    Infinity war- Holy Shit. Need to see that again. And no way there could have been less in that movie.

    My audience applauded multiple times throughout but at the end there was stunned silence. There are many parts of this movie I loved and a few I need to process. Glad I'm seeing it again on Sunday. Thanos was awesome. Josh Brolin was great and the CGI was incredible. If you haven't been following the MCU this is not the movie for you, but if you have then you will smile a lot during this one. What an accomplishment for Kevin Feige, the Russo Brothers and all of Marvel Films. A movie like this could not be made without the groundwork they laid over these last ten years.

    Saw a 7:30 showing this morning, Wow!  I need to process most of it.  Not what i was expecting (in a good way though).  I laughed, cried, jumped (once).

    After Civil War but before Infinity War is my guess.

    After Civil War but before Infinity War is my guess.
    The next 2 movies - Ant Man & The Wasp, and Captain Marvel - are confirmed as being set before Infinity War, so they are set up to be included in Avengers 4 next May.
    Ant Man is set just after Civil War, and Captain Marvel is set in the 90s (when Fury had still 2 eyes according to set photos)

    All I could say after seeing it was "holy shit".

    Could not believe it ended the way it did.

    These movies will never get Oscar consideration, but I doubt I'll see anything better this year.

    This weekend we rock Portland

    The Russo Brothers are 3 for 3 with The Winter Soldier, Civil War and now Infinity War. Three of the best.

    We saw Infinity War yesterday and absolutely loved it. My wife and I can always tell how good a movie is by how long we talk about it on the drive home... we were still bringing it up late into the night! "What about this? I can't believe ___ happened to ___. Where did ___end up?"
    Expectations will be crazy high for Avengers 4, and depending on how that movie plays out it could make the events of Infinity War even greater.

    19. The Incredible Hulk

    That's an interesting take on it. I may have a go at ranking them, although there may be a few ties!
    I'm pretty sure it'll be between IM2 and Thor:TDW for last place though

    Saw Infinity War Today:

    I thought they pulled off making a movie with this massive leading cast smooth mindblowingly well. 

    It was kind of a weird and unexpected result, but it is kind of a good unexpected, not a Rian Johnson with Star Wars "fuck you" type of unexpected.

    Also, the flaws in the character decision making didn't seem to make the film bad, but make it better. After contemplating them, I just felt frustrated for the characters, and not mad at the writers.

    I think it was an amazing film, and was certainly entertaining and a great emotional journey, I walked out kind of speechless and dumbfounded by the whole thing.

    Also, if you love sticking around for some classic Marvel post credits stuff, this didn't disappoint.

    Make sure you stay until the credits are done as this is a staple in any Marvel movie now.
