Mixed but okay by the end

Avengers: Infinity War
Continuing the blockbuster series: a massive gang of comic book super-heroes attempt to stop the evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) from obtaining all six of the all-powerful Infinity Stones which would give him ultimate power to dominate the entire universe.
Like many big-budget blockbusters (BBBs), this one falls into the usual trap of too much happening and too many people to try to remember. Adding to this problem are too many corny jokes and some really bad attempts at humour. Also like other BBBs, "Infinity War" has superb special effects, action scenes, and other aspects of technical superiority. The pluses mostly outweigh the minuses though not always.
Still, there are moving scenes in the second half that raise the film to a higher level. Credit must be given for a very bold ending which is a welcome contradiction to traditional narratives.
So, despite some obvious flaws, "Infinity War" is still entertaining.
