The biggest movie of the year...probably the biggest comic book movie of all time came out. AND it was glorious. It's a damn shame there's nobody here to talk about it with. The only ones left are Wondy and Mem who only try to jerk eachother off in the politics forum. This place has truly died

As I just posted elsewhere yesterday, for all the hoopla about the first AVENGERS movie, I wasn't that impressed.
Maybe AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR is a better breed of movie, or maybe others see something there that I don't. Either way, I'll maybe wait for cable to watch it. Or skip it altogether, unless I hear fantastic things.
People said the Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Daredevil, Elektra, Avengers, Wonder Woman and other comic based movies were "awesome", "great" and all that, but all duds in my book, and not worth the price of admission. I've already listed the ones I liked, and at the very least, I'm not part of the herd that makes up part of the billion dollars one of these movies rakes in, or among those who think these flicks are great.
Different strokes, we all like what we like.
So far the only Marvel ones I've liked (of the ones I've seen) were GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER.

Roughly three hours is quite a commitment. That's actually why I recorded the first AVENGERS movie (2 hours 23 minutes), so I could view it later and digest it at my own pace. Captions also helped on much of the dialogue that went by overly fast.

Have not seen it yet but it looks good. Still have Doctor Strange to see too. Marvel has been kicking DC's butt in the movies. I liked WW but the Superman Batman ones were just okay. Maybe I'll like Justice League when I catch it.
...it follows my complaint with comics that carries over into the movies, that you need a Phd in continuity to fully understand what's going on.
If you're into it and fully immersed in comic book nerd culture, then it's fun to have an insider's knowledge of everything and understand the stuff most viewers won't pick up on.

I ddn't care for the Doctor Strange movie and I'm a big Doctor Strange fan.
Justice League was good but the Marvel movies are better.
You might want to see Thor Ragnorok before seeing Infinity War as it does Take place seconds after The Thor movie.
