Pretty stupid if you think about it for a moment

Rating: 5/10 (29 April 2018)

Entertaining? Reasonably and never completely dull. If you're a big fan of lots of CGI and battles upon battles and displays of "power" where one party wins and other loses arbitrarily, you'll have plenty of those. But unlike Thor Ragnarok which just created a fun arcade like environment that didn't take it's material very seriously, understanding it for what it is, this movie does take itself seriously and that's part of the problem.
Thanos is scary. Brolin is a great voice and the CGI is better than good, even if you're reminded in a few places. The problems begin with far too many forced jokes and product placement. It was noticeably awkward at times.
Without ruining the film, I will briefly tell you the premise, which in itself was silly and is an example of how the film is reduced to a plot that only kids would buy into if you really want to think about it. The villain wishes to kill half the people in the galaxy to control the population problem in contrast to available resources. Well isn't that brilliant because it will only solve issues for a short time since if 2 beings have 3 children then you've got the same problem all over again. At first I ran with it but, in towards the end, the silliness became apparent.
The other glaring weakness. This did not need to be two movies. And it is OBVIOUS what the sequel will contain and how it will resolve. Why? Because it has to in order to generate $$$$$$$$$. Bad move.
