Easily has one of the most fleshed out villains in superhero movie history that is aided by convincing CGI and a great performance by Josh Brolin

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2018)

Thanos as a character was the showstopper for me throughout the entire movie. I have never had any interest in such supervillains featured before in movies and cartoons because they seemed to be too powerful and without any flaws. Also, on the represention side, they looked too CGI-ey to the point that they were merely characters from an overly done cutscene in a generic video game. However, Thanos became very appealing to me throughout the progression of the story in Avengers 3 and I became heavily invested in his character arc. He is definitely among the most fleshed out in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, almost to the point where I was rooting for his cause, having a strong emotional connect with him, rather than siding with the good guys. This was a very non classical comic book villain with a lot of moral relativism .
The CGI was very good in depicting Thanos' grandeur. It actually felt like a 10 ft tall guy, who was very imposing and charming, having his way onscreen. Not any of the uncanny valley silliness going on. The motion capture of the actor Josh Brolin's facial expressions blended seamlessly with the digital build of Thanos. Also, Josh Brolin did a fantastic job on his own bringing this titan to life. There were some plot points where the character of Thanos did in retrospect sort of act like a fool but Josh's acting easily helped evade that observation while watching the movie.
My only big gripe with the movie was when it kept going back to the plight of Scarlet Witch and Vision as a couple. Their chemistry was very bland , boring and cliched and the scenes that featured them were the only instances the film moved very slowly to me. Almost to the point I kept looking at the time on my phone waiting for it to pass.I was least interested in those characters.I just wish they were written such that they both took a cyanide pill and saved the audience the trouble of keeping up with their Twilight romance nonsense.
Also, there is a certain cameo in this film by a certain someone and I like how the physical build of the character that the person portrayed was a direct subversion of the actor's actual physical stats.
Overall, a damn good enjoyable popcorn movie having a solid A+ villain.
