Just finished watching Infinity War and now I remember again why I didn't go to the cinema to see it.
Half of the the time I was like "Who the F*** is that guy again" and "WTF are those guys talking about?" And then I remembered that I have seen neither of the following movies:
- Thor Ragnarok (I guess that's where Thor's hammer and eye went and why Hulk doesn't work anymore?)
- Black Panther (to know WTF Wakanda is?)
- Guardians vol.2 (to know who the gal with the antlers is and probably some other stuff)
....and probably one or two more Marvel movies that you have to have seen to enjoy this one. Was there a Spiderman movie?
I mean: the villain was great and the action scenes were nice, but for me it was like watching season 5 episode 21 of some TV show that I otherwise only saw season 1 of.
And of course the usual plot holes we are used by now in that Marvel universe.
And of course my favourite Avenger (Hawkeye) wasn't even in the movie.
Also: man, sometimes those guys are idiots. Half of their problems wouldn't exist if they weren't so dumb.
It was entertaining enough though, so I won't call it a waste of time or money. Still glad I watched it on BluRay so I could stop it halfway through and Google a few things.
And explain it to my wife. Who also fell asleep when Thor was getting roasted in the star to help the giant dwarf.
