Cap and Iron man save this one from poor writing.

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2019)

I would normally not write reviews on imdb but I had to for this one after reading comments like this movie is at "times as good as the return of the king and at times better" "this is the best superhero movie ever" etc etc is in my opinion first of all not even close to the Lord of the rings and not even the best mcu movie let alone best super hero movie ever. My take on it is ppl that have heavily invested in this franchise are just fanboying and are genuinely emotional as this franchise ends and boy kudos it is very emotional at the end but I still have to judge it as a movie as claims like best and better come with scrutiny. Let me start with the good points ...Iron man and captain America genuinely have a strong farewell and fully deserved. The hulk is actually good in this and surprisingly I kind of liked Thor's humour in this with his chemistry with rocket racoon has dome genuinely funny moments. The characters are well done and genuinely have good chemistry.
Bad points now .....The ppl who wrote the script are being praised but it's just really poor writing ...it's like this movie was made with the thought of ppl don't have an iq of more than 5 so really dumb it down. The idea of time travel would take years to crack ...these guys get it right within minutes if it was this easy everyone would be doing it. There would be soo many variables that could affect the future but it's all sidelined for a very linear story ...go back get the stones and that's about it ...nothing about the parameters the consequences of time travel. Brie larson is genuinely awful and I think marvel need to dump this character or else it's gonna end badly for marvel ...she's acting all tough ..no fear ..cocky ...yet it all feels soo farfetched she literally looks like a fish out of water you don't believe for a second she's all that. She literally recons a whole planet in seconds lol talk about being a Mary sue ...there's one bs line in the movie where I was just rolling my eyes ...as a hologram she says she needs to go and keep order on thousands of planets lol they could have just said other planets ...when they said thousands I just thought there you are Mary sue. She couldn't have looked worse but they even accomplished that with an even goofier hair cut she genuinely has zero charisma on screen and even the russo brothers can't save captain marvel. Her power levels might be extreme but she doesn't feel that way it all just seems a bit of a yeah just go with it.
Next bad point Thanos turned out to be a complete loser ..when they introduced him in infinity war you feel this guy means business ....they tried to turn him in to some anti hero and got it soo wrong ...if you look at Zod in mos he is not afraid of dying but he would never become a hermit ....him constantly sitting down makes him seem like a dejected loser and it takes away a lot of the intimidation factor ...he just seems like a recluse rather than a leader.
The points above can be forgiven but the biggest problem this movie has that hurts it a lot is where's the human loss factor ....almost 4 billion disappeared ....there's no chaos ..where's the authority there would be martial law where's the remaining leaders ??? The human cost ??? All you see is a lame group therapy session. Who elected the Avengers as leaders?? Who do they answer to?? Is there law??? All these glaring questions have been left unanswered and that's what breaks this movie ....someone wrote in a review that the return of the king won best picture Oscar...yes it did cause it was that good ....they also said this movie at least deserves a nomination?? For what ?? Cause fanboy's said so cause it got more fan votes lol ridiculous it's like saying Justin Bieber should win all the grammys just cause he's more popular even the the quality is seriously lacking.
The cap scene at the end is a good farewell and emotional but he definitely screws up the time line ...where is the cap stuck in the ice?? Etc it's just again a big problem with this movie...time travel is child's play.
The battle scene at the end seems like it just happened by accident rather than a build up towards a big battle. Thanos in the past finds out and he goes through in to present time ...it's a good fight but it just doesn't build up just happens ...the end finale in the return of the king builds towards that which is why the payoff is soon much more epic.
The first hour is not good thats where there should have shown the actual impact where theres chaos and the authority ask the avengers to intervene ..who died and made these guys incharge ...were they elected to represent the humans ..they operating under what juristiction...so for the person saying deserves an oscar ...that itself is one reason why it doesnt ecen get close to a nomination let alone win. The second hour is the heist where it gets interesting ...the big fight is about 20/30 minutes max and the ending farewell is about 20 min's. Cap and iron man are the most interesting with Thor kind of becoming the comic relief this time. All in all a good movie and yes probably satisfying ending but I think the movie could have been soo much better. Ppl like grace Randolph should be fired how the he'll is she a critic ??? Very poor quality critics nowadays. P.'s I'm not a dc or marvel fan I just want to see good deep thought out movies that stand out the test of time ...for me the dark knight is still the best written and executed comic book genre movie in my opinion.
