Infinity Bust

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2018)

Apparently Thanos has accepted the Leftist myth that available resources are dwindling at such a rate as to be a threat to life. So his solution is to wipe out half the population of the universe. He obviously doesn't have a moral center and is not that far removed from modern liberals' advocacy of extreme measures to promote zero population growth.
Personally I didn't care for the story. I like movies that have a happy ending. I go to movies to be entertained, not depressed. I want to leave the theater feeling as good or better than I went in. This movie accomplished none of those personal desires. I went, hoping for better, but was seriously let down.
The movie was overstuffed with principal characters from previous Marvel's films (except for Coulson) and as a result the villain took center stage, just as the Joker upstaged Batman in Dark Knight . Moreover, the story wasn't all that interesting to me: "battle the bad guy (with sound and visual effects) and lose." There was no character development or situations that could have some relevance to our lives. The superheroes functioned within the scope of their powers much like puppets on a stage. There were few humorous moments, but they couldn't save the film from its stupid plot.
It was clear to me as I endured the two and a half hours that the only reason Marvel Studios didn't resolve the Thanos threat in this movie is to ensure a bigger payday. Presumably the bad day for the universe will be remedied by the next Avengers movie. By then I doubt I'll care. I'm ready to move on.
