I cannot believe some of the criticism for this movie...

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2018)

No Spoilers, just reference to trailers.
Going into this movie I had seen countless reviews from both critics and fans alike. Some people suggesting that this isn't even one of the best movies in the entire MCU. So I went in with mixed expectations.
Firstly, I'm not a huge Marvel fanboy, I wasn't even a huge fan of some of the recently popular films like Black Panther and Homecoming which I thought could've been far better. I loved Infinity War and I honestly don't know how I didn't go in expecting to, because halfway through the movie I was literally looking at a friend in amazement because of how awesome the movie was.
A lot of the criticism of this movie are towards the following;
The ending, uncharacteristic behaviour, black order cgi, strength relativity based on other movies/comics, screen time (which I find hilarious), tone, and anticipation of this movie.
I will try and keep this brief
The Ending - People either love it or hate it. But I definitely think people hate it for the wrong reasons. All I can say is that, for the most anticipated movie of all time, it is amazing that despite all the theories I read, I was pleased that I was still surprised by how things turned out by the end. The execution was great as well and mostly made sense.
Uncharacteristic behaviour - I literally think ONE character was unusual throughout the movie. With so many other characters bringing their game, I literally could not have cared less. There was also one blatantly stupid move which ruined everything in a moment that I felt was unbelievable. Thats it though...plenty going on otherwise.
CGI for Black Order - I say specifically the Black Order because no one can argue that this isn't one of the most gorgeous movies out now, and I don't just mean in the action sequences. The Black Order I thought were fine, its just its in comparison to how amazing Thanos looked. It never took me out of the moment. I for one just appreciated their design.
Strength Relativity - This I think is the most complicated thing for people to understand about Marvel movies especially. Sometimes I understand the criticism, in the sense that, some people just shouldn't be as powerful as others (e.g. Black Widow is not as powerful Scarlet Witch) and yet they clearly are in the movie. Again these instances are minor. However, what annoys me is the - "why didn't he just do that earlier" argument, or "why can't he just do that thing he did before". In general, I think that those are people going into this movie asking to hate, in the sense that they go into this movie with the mindset that it will be a popcorn movie. You cannot enter the movie with that mindset. I would love to go into detail about this but it would take forever. Essentially its almost like asking why we walk or jog if we can sprint. People, regardless of their nature have limits, especially in intense situations. It happens in action and people need to get over it. Essentially, most of the fight scenes are incredible, some outstanding, but you have to be smart about them without being too smart to fully enjoy them.
Screen Time - For all I care, they could've cut out a few more characters and I would've still been ecstatic to see most people joining together cause when they did, it was awesome. Yes - some pairings work far better than others, this is true. But again, only because those pairings are literally amazing. The pairings that weren't as good were simply the ones that met my expectation. E.g. Captain America and Black Panther are obviously not going to be as fun as Strange and Tony. And yes not all the characters were in the movie. Its has a limited runtime, and there is another one coming next year. It shouldn't be a criticism for the movie because it asking for more where there is already so much. It's like complaining about owning an island because you wanted a country, it's a ridiculous criticism.
Tone - I can't understand how someone can't appreciate the rollercoaster of emotions this movie provided. A cinematic experience should be one that makes you feel strongly and the highest praise I can give this movie is, these days, you go into great movies that excel in two genres at most. This movie almost excelled on its comedy, action, thrill and drama altogether. The most pleasantly balanced movie I've ever seen.
Anticipation - As I said earlier I have seen some ridiculous criticism for this movie. I didn't go into this movie with the anticipation in my mind. I didn't go in wanting it to be the best movie in the world. Nor did I go in with lowered expectations, I went in as Thanos would've said "Perfectly balanced". I think that a lot of people went in with some unrealistic expectations, something thats easy to do with this movie.
If you haven't seen this movie yet go and see it, preferably in a packed cinema because as I said before, it is one for an audience. The is the highest 9/10 I could ever give. It misses out on a 10 because it is not perfect, only because it could've been even better than it was. It frustrates me because if it was, this would easily be one of the best movies I have ever seen and will ever see. Nevertheless I believe its fair to say it lived up to the hype and the hype was huge.
