"Mother f...!“ Zum dritten Mal dasselbe, nur länger, größer, mit mehreren Figuren (eigentlich mit allen) und hauptsächlich mit der besten Negativgestalt und einem interessanten Ende. Genauso wie alle anderen Marvel-Filme konnte auch dieser Koloss meine Aufmerksamkeit nicht nonstop fesseln (manchmal schweiften meine Gedanken ab), dennoch gefiel mir dieser Film von den Avengers am besten. Wegen dem Funken zwischen der ernsten Gruppe und den Beschützern (die viel angenehmer als eine Bereicherung waren), dem größeren Spielraum, der für den ernst gewordenen Thor geschaffen wurde (über seine infantile Komödie Drachenkrieger - Das Geheimnis der Wikinger habe ich mich nicht gefreut) und wegen der Vielfalt und der Menge der Schauspieler*innen, mit denen es einem einfach gut geht. Zehn Jahre solch eine handwerkliche Professionalität zu behalten und die Fähigkeit, ständig die Zufriedenheit und die Begeisterung der Fans zu steigern – das ist bewundernswert. Marvel ist ein Phänomen, Hut ab!

Infinity War combines within itself several excellent (Thor’s main storyline) and a few average aspects of Marvel movies: achievement of the objective is delayed due to the fact that the protagonists repeat the same “mistake” again and again, by means of which the filmmakers incessantly and semi-pathetically tell us what the film’s central idea is, the most robust action happens basically just to cut something epic into the trailer when the directors switch to melodramatic mode (which they do much more frequently than before), some of the dialogue is pretty “cheesy”, the plot becomes more predictable over time, the postponement of the inevitable more tiresome and the narrative more monotonous ... It holds together thanks mainly to the emotionally dense revealing of negative motives, to which the turning points and the division of the narrative into three large plot segments are tied. ___ The movie strives for an uncompromising climax, but the story is not pervaded with a serious approach to nearly the same extent as in Logan’s or Nolan’s Batman films. Priority is still given to entertaining the viewers and not forcing them to think about the sense of violence or the cost of heroism/humanity. I still consider the best Marvel movie to be the second Captain America, whose stylistic purity and narrative compactness that the rather episodic Infinity War can only dream about, given how it leaves some of the characters out of the story for so long that you almost forget they are in the movie and alternates between too many styles (while quite logically not having its own distinctive style like Thor: Ragnarok or Black Panther). ___ This time, Feige and co., like Singer in the markedly more ponderous X-Men: Apocalypse, go to the limit of how many prominent characters can be crammed into a single feature film without it falling apart, while making sure that viewers who are unfamiliar with the previous eighteen films do not get completely lost and that viewers who are well acquainted with the MCU get what they want without their heads exploding. It’s hard for me to imagine where they can go next and it can b probably be considered a great success that the result is not much less consistent and that it generally has a balanced rhythm (due in large part to the rapid and humorous verbal exchanges). ___ Infinity War is not revolutionary and it contains nothing so stimulating (in terms of style, content or narrative) that I want to see it again anytime soon, but for all the money, it is unambiguously a superbly calculated blockbuster that cleverly serves the fans (starting with the entrances of the individual heroes on the scene), making its production circumstances reminiscent of the golden age of the large-scale Hollywood system (a regular stable of stars + an unchanging circle of collaborators). Furthermore, it can be unsettling for the more sensitive viewers who have become a bit attached to the Marvel superheroes over the years (I myself had a rather unpleasant feeling of helplessness and anxiety during the credits and for a moment afterwards). 80%

This movie probably has a record for most A-class actors appearing in a single blockbuster movie. But the quality fluctuates depending on who’s on the screen. Scenes with The Guardians of the Galaxy characters, Thor or young Spiderman are really amusing, and the humor quality is often even close to Thor: Ragnarok. On the other hand, Iron Man, Captain America or Black Panther are on the screen most of the time and they balance the fun out by mostly leading serious talks. Which is exactly the reason I can’t give it five stars. However, it’s probably the most action-filled comic blockbuster ever filmed. I felt like the two and a half hours were a constant action thrill ride. Something was always happening, it had a good flow and it was fun. Also, the main villain played by Josh Brolin was excellent. The ending was exemplary, they couldn’t have enticed me better to go see the sequel. I was very satisfied. But I’ll save the five-star rating for another comic book movie adaptation.

I can't imagine how it could have been done better. The third Avengers isn't a perfect movie, of course, but with this many characters, it was clear that it couldn't be done without compromise. Fortunately, the Russos didn't make too many of them. The first half, when the film is just getting its breath for the epic mayhem, pushes a little too hard on the humour, but given that there wasn't much room for character development and some more complicated plot, it doesn't really matter that much. Something had to be going on. And then it starts to get more intense and it's something to watch, whether it's the battles between confused heroes who don't know each other, the efforts to take down Thanos, or the epic battle in Wakanda. At Disney, though, they knew that a bunch of characters with no room to properly show off and rush towards an epic finale probably wouldn't be enough, so here's Thanos. The MCU's best and most interesting villain is given more space than most heroes, and you'll be glad for it, because he's not a one-dimensional villain, and Josh Brolin as the purple titan lives up to the reputation build across several movies as a total annihilator, but he can also sell the more emotionally-charged scenes. I could have asked for more room for the characters, their relationships with each other, or some more significant emotional development, but there just wasn't room for it here. So, good for me. I don't really know what I could criticize about it in any significant way. In the context of the "make the greatest comic book film ever" brief, it couldn't have been much better.

Vorsicht, Aufprall folgt! Thanos kam mir immer als ein seltsamer Gummicharakter mit obszönem Kinn vor, jedoch Infinity War hat er größtenteils für sich gewonnen. Endlich haben wir hier ein überraschend gut aufgebauten mega-negativen Charakter, der anders funktioniert als ein Kleiderbügel für überkandidelte Waffen. Ansonsten ist es so, als würden jemand Ihre beliebten Charaktere in einen riesigen Mixer stecken, aus dem sie in verschiedene Ecken und Enden der Galaxie zerschmettert werden, wobei keines von diesen bis zur nächsten Folge überleben muss. Diese Mash-Up-Chemie ist sehr gut zusammengemixt, es fungiert hier sowohl der lebhafte Humor Guardians als auch das Avenger-Pathos, die sich sehr gut ergänzen. Die Russo-Familie hat hier abermals saubere Regiearbeit geleistet, denn das Ganze ist von einem seltsam realistischen, dunklen Ton gekennzeichnet, während es auch zum auffällige Schlüssel des Ragnarok passt. Ich habe mich zweieinhalb Stunden gefreut, denn es gibt immer jemanden, der unter Begleitung epischer Effekte erscheint und jemanden den Superallerwertesten rettet, na ja - nahezu bis zum Ende. Avengers: Infinity War stellt eine großartige Kombination an Spaß und Fan-Emotionen dar, ein wahrhaft würdiger erster Akt eines Films, welcher eine Ära abschließt. Einige mögen eine klarere Pointe missen, ich empfinde dies als Einladung zu einem weiteren Avenger Joyride in einem Jahr wahr. Ich stehe Schlange wie die sprichwörtliche f...ing MCU Bitch. Da haben Sie mich erwischt ...

Unexpected enthusiasm and a spectacular conclusion to ten years of building the Universe. It couldn't have gone better. Everything works here. Superb visuals rather than CGI mess, the best villain Marvel has ever had, thanks to the great Josh Brolin, plus his unpleasant cronies, the Black Order, where Ebony Maw in particular excels. There’s less humour, but it mostly worked (Drax was the most entertaining), and I really liked the entrance of each hero into the action (whether it's Captain America or Thor, who absolutely blew me away with his arrival in Wakanda), and the gradual introduction and meeting of the heroes is very enjoyable especially for fans. I'm also very intrigued by the alien planets (especially with the dwarves where Tyrion appeared), I would love to see a Marvel movie from that planet. The bleak finale is slightly annoying as we have to wait a year for an explanation, but there's nothing we can do about that tribute. Solid entertainment that didn't spear me with me goosebumps or emotions. 100%.

Earth is closed today. When the actors, creators, and producers proclaimed that the last decade had led to this exact point, they were not lying. However many such encounters we've experienced throughout the series and left the cinema highly satisfied every time, it was always obvious that it is fundamentally about the characters of the Avengers and only secondarily about the definitive fate of the city, state, or planet. Everything is different in Infinity War, and a universe teetering on the edge is recognizably at stake from the very beginning. There are casualties, ships are falling, moons are falling, and for an hour and a half I am staring at the screen in astonishment, knowing that this is something I have longed to see, perhaps even more than I was willing to admit. The cooperation of Iron Man with Doctor Strange, the verbal duels of Thor with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Cap with Black Widow and their emergence from the shadows – and above all, the fallen Titan who takes the concept of division by two far too seriously. I had a great desire for the film to shake me up. In this regard, the reality exceeded expectations when my heart was beating so fast that at three moments I thought it might jump out of my body. This time, the Avengers are not just redefining team-ups, not even just comics. This time, they are redefining blockbusters, and they can only raise the bar higher again next year.

It flowed nicely, you kind of fall into it at the beginning and let the story take you where it takes you. I'll admit that, for me, it's probably the best movie in the whole dubious Marvel universe. So I'm curious to see what's in store for us next year. You can think about it a lot and spin wild theories with friends (without the internet, without knowing the source material to enjoy it more). Sad scenes, funny, predatory, emotionally blackmailing, artificial, natural, awkward, uber stilted ... it's got it all. It's really good to watch in the theaters.

A showcase. Slight differences of opinion above/below are irrelevant. This film is a great success, while so much could have gone wrong. In the lead role, Thanos is absolutely readable, willing to make a personal sacrifice and Brolin’s charisma gives the purple heavyweight a very human dimension. All of the characters have their moment, even though they are given very limited room to shine. Marvel movies answer the dreams of fans of Iron Spider who we were robbed of in the Civil War now comes back at full strength. Wanda and Vision go off down entertaining storylines and Wakanda longs for Starbucks. A first class finale closes the movie with a happy ending (at least in the context of the characters) and tempts you to watch the next part.

Zugegeben, ich musste zwanzig Spielfilme und mehrere Fernsehsendungen sehen und Hunderte von Comicseiten lesen, aber nach langer Zeit habe ich wirklich das Gefühl, dass diese Marvel-Malbücher einen Sinn ergeben. Abgesehen vom ersten Capo ist dies das einzige MCU-Erlebnis, das ich mit der Höchstnote bewerte.

Apart from some minor tweaking, it's still the same Marvel space soap opera. What makes it so special this time is the extreme number of main characters, which is an interesting ploy, because it's clear that everyone will find something to like, apart from the absence of Hawkeye, everyone will have their favourite on screen. Another positive is Josh Brolin, whose digital face and voice conveys more emotion than most normal characters put together. An actor who has the advantage that he doesn't have to do much, just look and say something here and there – that's how charismatic he is. The other good thing is the dramatic weighing of the characters of Captain America and Stark – both in good ways. The negatives are still the same. Again, the destruction of the world (and the relatively solid motivation doesn't excuse it), digital monsters, unimaginative heavy-handed action scenes, pathos, bumbling around unknown planets, finding unknown things at unknown blacksmiths, and aside for a few more adrenaline-filled moments like Thanos vs Hulk, Thanos vs Stark, etc. then it's a downright cheesy action finale with a few cool catchphrases, usually provided by the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Die Russos haben Avengers 3 - Infinity War so gut wie The First Avenger: Civil War bewältigt. Sie steuern ohne Probleme eine riesige Menge an Figuren, von denen jede Raum bekommt. Der Humor sowie die Emotionen werden mit Gefühl dosiert, die Action ist überwältigend, der Film wartet auf nichts und gibt vom Anfang bis zum Ende Gas… Manche werden bestimmt überrascht sein, wie gut der Schuft Thanos dargestellt wird. Er ist wirklich gelungen. Die Aufteilung in zwei Filme macht Sinn. Nicht nur deshalb, weil es viel zu erzählen gibt, sondern vor allem deshalb, weil ich mir nach dem Finale überhaupt nicht vorstellen kann, was alles im zweiten Teil passieren wird. Ich warte sehr gerne darauf.

Combining several Marvel movies into one lavish frame could have turned out much worse ("much" being the understatement), but it's still definitely not the best Marvel movie ever made. The episodic structure is fine and makes perfect sense, but its execution occasionally lags depending on one not-so-functional equation, namely, too many characters for too few supporting story motivations. Thanos is the central and most developed character, perhaps surprisingly, and it is his line that’s the strongest and holds everything else together – the only other character with his own grip on the storyline is Thor, while the rest of the cast is somehow bolted onto the expected Marvel-meeting, and more than ever I found it blatantly obvious how the possibilities of the fictional world are being handled clumsily, only for the characters to quickly move to pre-conceived positions and for the creators to leave the door open for future twists. There are so many characters that the switches between their lines are a bit clunky, and some of them get a volume that is inadequate to their overall importance (especially the Captain); and at times it relies only on humour, dropping jokes like Chandler and Rick and Morty, while in the next scene the audience is silenced by Shakespearean melodrama. Maybe I sound too critical, but don't judge me in advance, I still liked it a lot. Despite recycling the template of a rebellion against an all-powerful enemy, and delaying the climax in the service of a final battle that only serves to distract from one of the key themes, the film doesn't lack terrific charge and fatality, and manages to evoke exactly the kind of fan reactions in every situation that the MCU has been primarily aiming for a decade now. All in all, it does grind, but if the scenes are supposed to be purely entertaining, the viewer will laugh a lot (for me personally, the perfect Guardians and Tony's interaction with Dr. Strange lead the way), and if we're supposed to shed a tear, we're not far from it. While I'm not entirely convinced that his plan to wipe out half the universe is the product of anything higher than an advanced stage of manic insanity, Thanos is definitely the best comic book villain ever who doesn't come across as ridiculous and whose actions force the heroes to simply have no choice but to act within a clear and well-layered deadline. It's full of last-minute rescue clichés, of course, but the brothers in the director's chair aren't afraid to surprise and push the envelope from the start, so it's hard to guess who's going to go under the grim reaper's scythe – and when they do, it has the right effect. Overall, I'm very curious about the second instalment and how far the filmmakers will allow the laws of what can still happen in the that universe to be transformed, because this is nothing but one bite of the apple, regardless of how well they've managed to create a film with a satisfyingly contained and supportive framework...... In conclusion, if I had to choose which of this year's two much-anticipated blockbusters – Ready Player One and The Avengers – left me with greater cinephilic and purely superficial satisfaction, it's definitely Spielberg's geek gem, it’s told with far greater ease and formal ingenuity. And in the end, I'll admit it, that if I were naturally made for this endless haggling about how much even superheroes have to suffer and how hard they have it in a world with real human feelings, I would certainly give it five stars without blinking an eye. :)) 80%

Filmwochenende der FilmBooster, Boskovice, 2018. Vor allem großen Dank an Martin und Adam für die Organisation eines weiteren wunderbaren Filmevents für Filmfans und Enthusiasten. Ich konnte endlich einen der diesjährigen Hits sehen, der mir in Prag entgangen war. Alle Helden gegen einen Negativhelden der Superlative, der möglicherweise wirklich am allerbesten überhaut gelungen ist und der darüber hinaus noch ein Vorbild in Josh Brolin fand, dessen Stimme er sich ausgeliehen hat. Ich habe keine taube Stelle gefunden, von Anfang bis Ende läuft der Film auf vollen Touren, und wie immer bin ich von Guardians of the Galaxy begeistert, das sind meine Lieblinge, vor allem Rocket, seine Sprüche und der Kampf des Stils. Sehr gefallen haben mir Elizabeth Olsen und Benedict Cumberbatch. Ich habe aber einen großen eigenen Mangel - ich muss einige eigenständige Geschichten aufholen, und um rückwirkend einige Zusammenhänge zu verstehen, habe ich so die Motivation, mich so schnell wie möglich daran zu machen.

Overestimating the well-engineered quality of the last Avengers film now means to lick away at some very prefab Disney ambrosia, carefully refined for kids aged 3 to 130. It's quite possible that it couldn't have been put together any better in the given running time, but that doesn't really matter, because the flaw is in the very idea of cramming twenty main characters into a two-and-a-half-hour film and then spreading them around space like butter on bread to get just enough everywhere. This results in them having absolutely minimal verbal interaction, no building of new relationships, and an inability to form any bond with them other than the one you brought with you from the previous films. Having opened up an entire vast universe, dimensions, and thus nearly infinite options for guiding the plot, this complete freedom is only used to allow pretty much anyone who has ever so much as uttered a sentence in the MCU universe to appear on screen during the course of the running time. Even so, the heroes still happen into the film at random and often for motivations that have no justification whatsoever. There's also the classic superhero malaise of the last few minutes of the movie, where to slow down the plot while retaining some momentum, an infinity of generic toothy monsters are unleashed on screen that are so ripped off and formulaic that the movie doesn't even feel the need to let us have any explanation or demonstration of them. ____ For a movie costing infinity billion or however much this cost, the stagy theatricality of every scene comes as quite a surprise. The characters in each scene move and interact within a very limited space where they are carefully arranged so each one can be seen. The cinematography is often quite calm this time around, trying to refrain from complicated angles and changes of perspective. Compared to the elusive orgy of superhumanity in Man of Steel, the latest Avengers movie drops like another tired safe bet afraid to demand attention from its viewer. Moreover, in Infinity War, any concern for the world, the universe, and everything has been dropped completely because it definitively has nothing to do with ours. Except for one scene, the poor Earth civilian is no longer seen in the film at all, his ability to interfere with anything is reduced to zero, and he's basically already been cleared out of the entire MCU universe because he becomes a sacred idol that can't even be allowed to be harmed vicariously, so everything now takes place in some safely cleared out space or somewhere behind a back door where they can't go. What keeps it on the level of average is the CGI/Josh Brolin character of Thanos, who is a more plastic character than anyone else, as well as a few punchlines (it reminded me terribly in places of old isometric RPGs like Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale, where there's some cool fighting, I can freeze the screen and give instructions, you activate the flame whip, you send the curse, you blind the enemy, the juggernaut turns into a berserker and stalls...) and the finale itself, which I didn't see coming, and if this ends the Avengers for maybe ten years to come, I'm going to bump this up a star. But I'm afraid that with all the announced sequels and the next Infinity War installment, the opening of options related to time and space, additional dimensions, etc., if they want to bring back some favorite characters, they'll figure it out somehow. I'm already dreading it. However, I am deeply amused by the idea of studio reps meeting with all the actors at an MCU meeting and announcing right off the bat "Here are the contracts for the next eight years, anyone who’s sick of it and doesn't want to do it, raise your hand" and then watching in shock as a mob of hands go up.

Compared to Ragnarok, I had to give a higher rating. I quite liked that the story was darker and even had an equally dark ending. I just fear that all the dead will come back to life again soon, so it’s a waste of all those emotional scenes. I even had a decent laugh a few times, but I was annoyed that except Spider-Man, even the Hulk looks like Iron Man now. Just a little bigger...

Definitely the best Avengers movie, and quite possibly the best Marvel movie. The first thing to appreciate about the first part of Infinity War is that even with the overwhelming number of characters, the entire film is incredibly consistent. I was looking for flaws, mistakes, or something that just bothered me about it, but I found nothing. Plus, I have to give the Russo brothers kudos for managing to avoid cheesy, infantile humor at the height of the MCU's third phase (which Waititi completely failed to do with Thor: Ragnarok). The jokes and humor are there, of course, but I didn't feel for a moment that it was shallow (like with Goldblum in Ragnarok). Infinity War has a dark, at times apocalyptic feel to its first half, and ultimately introduces a properly interesting, full-fledged, completely serious, and terrifying villain. A truly spectacularly intoxicating experience with a not entirely predictable ending, and probably one of the total highlights within the MCU world that will give due satisfaction to even the most demanding Marvel fans.
