An very entertaining movie.

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2018)

I haven't watched all Marvel movies, but knew enough about the MCU to understand what was going on in the movie, which is very important in order to enjoy this movie. Most characters aren't really introduced in this movie, which makes it hard to feel any bond to those characters from just this movie.
Thanos is the villain and even though he is the villain, you will find yourself sympathizing with him in certain moments. He is directly introduced as a powerful enemy and proceeds to get stronger as his collection of stones grows. However, his continuously increasing power isn't necessarily shown by his fights. In one moment Thanos can turn people into whatever he wants and win a fight in seconds, but after gaining an additional stone, which should make him even more powerful, he loses this ability for the sake of a fight - a mostly very enjoyable fight. In the final minutes of the movie Thanos remembers how to use his stones again and proceeds to complete dominate the rest of the Avengers and finally half of the MCU. At first the ending seemed rushed, but from my perspective now, it feels like a typical happy ending, but from Thanos point of view.
It was a good movie, that suffered from inconsistency in some situations and a few symptoms of a slight idiot plot. The action was great, the effects were great and the humor, is not quite my taste, but it was well received by others in the audience. I'm certain everyone who enjoyed most of the MCU movies will be very satisfied.
