[Show spoiler] It was PRICELESS. People openly crying and and small girl tugging on her dad's arming completely puzzled and shocked.

You can experience it for the first time through their eyes!

I may have to have a nose behind me next time (hoping ti IMAX row D again - its like the closest I can manage and and my entire peripheral is 'screen' )

had ot cancel y'days show so planning on going tomorrow

I felt Ruffalo was great., but the use of him and the Hulk felt a tad like an after-thought

That is the problem he is not angry anymore. Anger has been replace by anxiety.

considering how its following on from Ragnorok, it felt fine and familiar. Hardly inconsitant

I sense no anxiety from Mark Ruffalo's performance at all.

Ragnarok had a more fun and lighthearted tone, though. With Infinity War, the stakes were higher, so Mark Ruffalo came off like a sore thumb.

I think it's actually fear. It will probably be explored more in Avengers 4, but I took it as Hulk was actually afraid to come out.

Finally got to see this over the weekend. It isn't my favorite MCU entry, and it's hard to place it just due its nature of being a crossover of basically everything in the MCU so far (unlike the previous Avengers movies which stood well on their own as Avengers movies). Still, it was great finally seeing everything colliding, and it was a fun ride. It's probably my favorite among the Avengers movies so far, though it didn't really feel like an "Avengers movie."

After Thanos (and Killmonger from BP), it'd be disingenuous to say that Marvel still has a "villain problem." As many say, this was definitely Thanos' movie, and they did a great job making him complex and sympathetic (to an extent). Everything with him and Gamora was great.

I wish the Earth-based Avengers got more to do (I feel like we hardly got to see Cap and the rest of his team), but I'm guessing that will be rectified with the next film

[Show spoiler](at least for the characters that didn't turn to dust)

They are pretty much spelling it out. He is unsure about himself, he is unable to bring out his other self. What is that but Performance Anxiety?

Killmonger and Thanos aren't villains, though. That's the thing.

This is going back to Ragnarok. If everything was normal with Banner, he would have changed before he hit the bifrost. He had anxiety about being stuck as the Hulk. After Thanos knocked him around it got worse, and became fear of failure.

Mass murders are villains.

Bad performance.

Finally saw it, best Marvel movie since Civil War and much better than Age Of Ultron.

4.5/5 overall.

Still cannot get into Wakanda's advanced tech and hologram shield, nor do I accept nanomachines in fiction. They are a crux for lazy writers.

Spidey is severely underused, essentially only killing off one minor villain.

[Show spoiler]Didn't expect Red Skull!

Considering we’re off the back of him being Hulk for a few years, it makes sense for Banner on be a bit ‘off’ in the head.

A bad deed is wrong no matter the reasoning

Definitely stay away from anything about it. I managed to accidentally read a spoiler on the freaking IMDB homepage.

Spend the money to see this movie in IMAX 3D. Nearly the entire movie was shot with IMAX cameras and it is full screen the entire time. It also looks fantastic in 3D.
