So, Thanos

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2018)

After reading through a lot of this movies user reviews, I found it necessary to give my ideas about it.
Clearly, many disliked the ending because it was against the traditional 'happy ever after' ending, that, however, too many movies have. The end is a bit unclear which the next movie hopefully will address, but still this was the ending the movie should more or less have. Of course Marvel Studios could have produced a similar movie like the other Avenger movies, but why? We already know a lot about our superheroes. This movie was focused on Thanos (which is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe) and his obsession on balance. The scene when he invades Gamora's planet and talks about his small knife and about balance it, was breathtaking in many different aspects. This is a dark and sad movie, and it should be. Maybe not the best movie to see with your 11 yr old son/daughter. However, if the outcome of this first movie would have turned out differently, I would have been disappointed. No one in the Avengers team should stand a chance, even though Thor made a sweet entrance with his new axe. Also, the scene with Doctor Strange looking into the future will be key in the next sequel.
Yeah sure, some characters died a bit too easily (especially Maw). But the movie was already long enough. However, it felt a bit fast forwarded so this movie could easily have been divided into two parts/movies, focusing more on the story than the fighting-sceens. Some interactions with our superheroes were quite satisfying. Thor, Rocket and Groot had several funny scenes, as well with Iron Man, Spiderman and Doctor Strange.
I had high expectations on this movie entering the cinema and I was not disappointed. For those of you that think that Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. have died, I bet the opposite. However, that remains to see.
