Half the stars for half a movie

Rating: 5/10 (29 April 2018)

I know my opinion will not be a popular one. I can not shake the feeling of being ripped off after watching this movie. 10 years of anxiously waiting, watching and loving movies only to be told sike, you gotta wait another year.
the movie does have some positives.
1. the cgi was great. Lets be honest, Netflix originals have great cgi. B movies have decent cgi now.
2. Once the movie starts you don't want it to end. This also shows up on my negatives section.
That pretty much sums up what I liked.
Spoilers ahead, quit reading if you haven't seen the movie.
Negatives.
1. The humor never ends. I get it, the humor is funny, however, it does need to end at some point. When you have the big bad guy killing people and actively trying to kill you maybe its time to get serious.
2. 5 minutes into the film you see heimdel and loki die. Yes I was saddened by this. Loki's death was particularly sad. Then almost 3 hours later you see Spider-Man, dr strange, black panther and many others die. This made the movie feel completely pointless. You also saw Thanos start to fade the same way as all the other deaths. His death is not on screen (movie ended, more about that later}. Some of the characters that died have confirmed sequels. I guess time travel will be a major part of the second part.
3. Thanos death. Seriously? You go through all the trouble to collect the stones to kill 1/2 the universe and don't remove yourself from the equation. Yes some will argue he didn't die. It was obvious he was in the beginning phases of disappearing just like everybody else. Then the movie ended.
4. The ending felt more like I was being told a story and the speaker just quit talking mid sentence. I did know it was part 1 of 2. I just hoped I would have a logical stopping point.
5. The end credit scene. I used to love waiting around for these little snippits of what's to come or the simply goofy scenes. My favorite is the first avengers movie when all the heroes were eating schwarma. This 1 felt more like Disney and marvel were just trying to prove they can make us sit around for anything.
Yes, this will make over $1 billion and yes the second will also. I also understand all the actors and Disney only do this because they want to make money. I would feel less betrayed if the title was "Avengers: infinity war, the mouse wants your cash." At least they would have been honest.
