Great Effects But Wish They Kept Things Simple

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2018)

For a non-Marvel follower like me, this movie was too much for my senses. I did enjoy the effects and much of the action(atleast those that involved the characters Wanda or Vision because I found their relationship adorable) but felt for a sci-fi movie that's intention is to simply entertain, this one took itself too seriously and has left audience like me wondering that things could have been kept really simple. I wanted to be entertained the old fashioned way - a bunch of super heroes on Earth save the planet from a huge, aggressive, alien guy(or whatever Thanos is). Fight against him & finally destroy him, that's it. But here the story takes on many layers, I think with the objective to stimulate our minds and keep up thinking deeply about the characters. But these are comic characters, why complicate them? Maybe Marvel comics are for adults, not for kids. And I thought comics are created with primarily kids in mind...
The performances, music, effects, action - all were mighty impressive(with whatever herculean budget that must have been offered, they better be) yet because these type of complex story telling is not my cup of tea, I rate the movie a 6/10.
Verdict - if you are a Marvel fan, you'd probably love it I guess. Others, I wouldn't recommend it. Give me a B-grade monster movie any day.
