Avengers: Infinity War (2018) (1 Viewer)

it doesn't look that that will be the case, and there will certainly be a clear continuation of a larger story between the two.

We know Josh Brolin appears in both films as Thanos, so I was never expecting a tidy ending to Infinity War. This is just me speculating, I don't know any spoilers, but presumably, the goal of the heroes will have to be to kill him, because he's far too dangerous to leave alive in some kind of jail. Therefore, if he is in next year's film, they won't be finished with him at the end of this one.

My local theater just posted their full showtimes for the weekend, including some times that had not been scheduled for advance ticketing until now.

All together, there will be 41 showtimes per day for Infinity War beginning on Friday.

38 shows on Friday at the big theater near me.

It's like printing money.

I'm out until after I've seen the movie Friday. And basically avoiding the internet from 6 PM Thursday on.

I rewatched all 17 of the Marvel movies that have been released on disc this month.

I used MoviePass to see Black Panther tonight, so that I could have seen all 18 of the films.

I have tickets to a 10:45pm IMAX 3D screening on Thursday.

See you all after that!

I had been assured that I didn't need to see Black Panther before IW and I was rolling with that, but decided to see it tomorrow anyways before catching IW on Friday. I'd rather be familiar with the BP characters that I expect to see in IW, and I keep hearing that BP is amazing.

So, two marvel movies I've never seen before this week.

Where did you hear that? The marketing for Infinity War has heavily featured scenes in Wakanda and the cast of Black Panther.

I suspect that part of the reason Marvel put it in February (a release slot they have never used before) was to make sure everyone had time to see it before Infinity War because the tie-in will be significant.

I haven't seen anything spoiler-y yet, and hope I do not. (Unless you count the number of after-credits scenes

Spoiler

A3 and A4 were originally planned as Part 1 and Part 2, and while I am glad they did away with those designations, it sure sounds like the movies will end up tied together. Many of the non-spoiler reviews I have seen say that audiences will have a hard time waiting for A4.

Seems like the right call.

Yep, which is what I’ve heard as well. And it seems much more appropriate for a story like this. And a year wait is nothing. I’m sure we all remember the three long years between Empire and Jedi. Now THAT was rough!

Critics, especially Top Critics seem to be more apprehensive of this movie compared to other recent MCU movies. Even reviews that liked the movie have commented on it having 3 third acts and depending of the audience to have seen the previous 18 movies to know what is going on.

and depending of the audience to have seen the previous 18 movies to know what is going on.

I actually think that's fair at this point. Newbies aren't likely going to be interested in the 19th movie in a decade-running franchise, so it seems foolish to bend over backward to explain things to them and frees up more time for new storytelling if they don't.

I thought I was ready.

I was not ready.

That was the most intense experience I have ever had at the cinema.

Can you tell us without spoilers if certain films are more important to revisit than other films ahead of time?

I wouldn't say anything in particular is more important. As they already stated, Thanos is pretty much the main character in the film. Having seen the other films builds the connection to the other characters which is important to the enjoyment of the film. As long as you have that then you should be in for a great experience.

I would say it is definitely worth avoiding spoilers as there are some unexpected events.

 

[Sean Bryan]

The tracking is currently at $216M-$235M for the domestic opening weekend. It will be interesting to see where it actually comes in.

I enjoyed this movie but it seemed more like a finale to a 4th or 5th season of a TV show than a regular movie.

Spoiler

I doubt that all of the deaths will stick since at least one of the characters who died already have another stand alone movie announced.

One word...amazing! Going to see it again this weekend!

 

[Sam Posten]

Loved it. Best action. Best ending. Best post credits
