Just not enough!

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2018)

OK, as I watched this movie with great expectations at first I felt like there were jut too many characters and not enough storyline development. All these Avengers and friends were bunched into 2.5 hours and there just didn't seem to be enough time for each of them. But remembering this is part 1 of 2 parts, settles me down. And it is, more or less, a culmination of sorts of many years of Avenger movies. So part 2 will be a must see and I can hardly wait. The worst thing about Infinity War is that it cuts off way to early and leaves the viewer wanting MORE.
The best things about this movie are the villian Thanos...you love, hate and feel pity for him. But you also understand what he's saying. And thank God that Thor gets his eye back. I was not looking forward to a one-eyed Thor. AND he gets a new "hammer" in the form of a super ax. There are parts in this movie that are so cool you just want to clap out loud. The one-liners are there, too, and they are funny but you have to be fast to catch 'em. Especially when the audience is laughing out loud.
I missed seeing Jeremy Renner's character (Hawkeye) wonder why they left him out?
This is definitely what I call a "bridge" movie, because it connects another movie(s) to a movie that isn't released yet. Frankly, at the end of the movie when the screen goes black, I was thinking, "What? They're going to leave me now?!" I was kind of disappointed. BUT upon further reflection, it needed to be done this way or else make a 6.5 hour movie. (I felt the same thing with the Lord of the Rings, "The Two Towers" movie...another bridge movie). But settling down I have to say this is a great movie even if it leaves you wanting for much more. Hopefully part 2 will be released soon...in 2019? I can dream.
