“Avengers: Infinity War” holds together reasonably well for a 160-minute epic that unites a vast superhero world that took a decade to create, fits 76 characters into one story, and has four to six plotlines active at any given moment. In order to collect six incredibly potent Infinity Stones and embed them in Thanos’ enormous glove, the intergalactic bad guy Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his army of warriors with Green Goblin looks bounce from star system to star system, torturing and murdering various enemies. Thanos will be able to realize his goal of eradicating half the universe’s population in order to protect its priceless resources and reestablish “balance” once he has gathered all six. The Avengers, headed by Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hulk/Bruce Banner (Chris Hemsworth), and the rest, are the only ones blocking his path. In addition, the entire cast of “Black Panther” And the “Guardians of the Galaxy” ones. Several additional Marvel figures who are brand-new to this movie. Co-writers Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo, their tiny army of actors, and their numerous other filmmaking collaborators have all been able to come to an agreement and stick to it. The movie’s running time doesn’t exactly fly by, but it rarely seems to stall out, which is remarkable given that many of the big scenes in the movie involve people talking and occasionally acting in close-up. More blatantly than in any other Marvel movie they’ve directed, the Russos dive headfirst into melodrama here, but there are issues with their strategy that I’ll go over shortly. The plot device mostly succeeds because the story is an operatic tragedy that must inevitably conclude with the heroes in a desolate location. Given all of this, it’s inevitable (and in no way a spoiler to say here) that not every character survives, and if “Infinity War” leaves you feeling dejected and anxious rather than elated, that means it succeeded just like “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One” succeeded. It’s difficult to pinpoint precisely what’s wrong with this movie; perhaps it would be more effective if it were longer, more elegantly shaped, or better modulated. However, something is lacking. This is, as many have noted, one half of a tale that has been divided in two, but it somehow feels less than half. A collective curve-grading problem that affected MCU movies up until fairly recently—where each movie seemed content to settle for “better than expected” instead of being really, truly good—returns here, sadly. It’s a minor miracle that “Infinity War” functions at all given the difficulties it overcame, many of which were specific to this undertaking. It seems ungrateful to demand more panache from a movie that already accomplishes the unthinkable on some level. But what are superhero films devoid of flair actually useful for? If there was ever an opportunity to go for broke, this was it. I like how the entire plot revolves around Brolin’s CGI-assisted but still fully realized portrayal of Thanos, a peculiarly melancholy and lonely character who is, in essence, a religious fanatic, but who carries himself with the assured confidence of a military man who has read the ancient Greeks and speaks tenderly to cadets while stepping on their necks. (Thanos’ lieutenant, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor’s portrayal of the snide and hateful space wizard Ebony Maw, also makes an impact, despite having few moments.) Some of the most moving and/or frightful scenes in the film feature Thanos torturing captive heroes—including Karen Gillan’s Nebula and Zoe Saldana’s Gamora—until they reveal where the stones are, or pushing them to consider committing suicide (or having others commit suicide) in order to prevent Thanos from realizing his dream.
Editor’s Picks
In the film, Thanos is portrayed as an agent of utter chaos who can lift people up by their skulls and disassemble them into three-dimensional puzzles with the wave of his hand, even rupturing the universe’s structural integrity. He is like an Old Testament curse come to life. He appears to possess the strength of the Hulk and the magical prowess of Doctor Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who is one of the few characters who is consistently able to balance his devastating power. Characters express different times that they might have been better off not fighting him. Although they are action heroes, the danger they face is so great that they are considering a different scenario in which they do not take action. But you shouldn’t waste any more time and start this Avengers Infinity War quiz. While spending time with his beloved Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and off the grid in Scotland, Vision (Paul Bettany), who has one of the stones embedded in his forehead, is attacked. After they successfully fend off Thanos’ minions at great personal cost, he quips, “I’m beginning to think we should’ve stayed in bed.” After spotting Thanos’ massive, doughnut-shaped spacecraft approaching Manhattan on a field trip, Peter Parker/Spider-Man leaps into action, only to be kicked in the gut and lament, “I should’ve stayed on the bus.” The movie has a lot of fun hints at our protagonists’ potential demise. Tony and Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) only appear together in one scene, where they talk about Tony’s fantasy that they had a child. This scene has the same effect as one in a war movie where the young draftee displays a photo of his fiancée and exclaims, “Ain’t she pretty?” The attack on Wakanda that Thanos launches is portrayed as the logical, terrible outcome of revealing the location of the once-hidden nation and aligning it with international defense organizations after centuries of neutrality. Cap and the gang take Vision there in the hopes that Shuri (Letitia Wright) can preemptively extract and destroy his Infinity Stone. In spite of this, the film almost never feels as special or as powerful as it should, as evidenced by a sequence in which Thor lists all the loved ones he has lost and appears to be suffering from PTSD like Tony. Part of the issue is the path. Marvel’s conceptual artists, visual effects specialists, colorists, sound designers, and mixers are at what may be their artistic zenith here—as well they should be, considering how long this company has worked to perfect a consistent style and tone; the panoramic vistas showing destroyed cities and space stations and distant planets and alternate dimensions, a jumble of psychedelic ironwork and watercolor clouds, seem as strongly influenced by the illustrious work of the legendary Salvador Dali as anything else However, the directors avoid taking chances rather than being as creative as their support staff. They either do a boringly flat or furiously hacky job of capturing both the violent (and sometimes cruel) action and the emotionally intense private moments. (snap-zooms on falling figures; herky-jerky camerawork and fast cutting during fight scenes; the same stuff you see in most action films made during the past decade). They rarely employ the camera in an expressive or poetic manner, so when they do, it has the effect of someone briefly igniting a drab wedding reception by going out on the dance floor and demanding a song with a backbeat (like the long, slow camera move that reveals the Guardians in their spaceship engaged in a sing-along, or the “wipes” that reveal the reality that Thanos’ illusions hide, or a climactic fight between Thanos and

Avengers Infinity War Quiz

If the MCU hadn’t created “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Black Panther,” two back-to-back hits with vibrant directors (Waititi and Ryan Coogler, respectively) and as many stylistic/tonal risks as Marvel’s brand would permit, all of this would be a lot less grating. The studio is too focused on its bottom line to allow the kind of eccentricity that would have made this film truly stand out (Joss Whedon’s awkward potluck “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” with its sharp wit and nihilistic robot philosopher baddie, is looking better in hindsight). However, it’s not a compliment to the Russos to state that it’s difficult to tell from simply watching the film if they were under strict corporate control the entire time or if they chose to minimize the inherent risks of a project this big and eagerly awaited by making safe decisions. Also, you will find out which character are you in this Avengers Infinity War quiz. The format of a blockbuster MCU movie with 76 characters exposes the limitations of telling a superhero story via this now-well-established cinematic template, as opposed to telling it on the printed page, where the only restrictions are the writer’s imagination and the illustrator’s flair for presentation. I’m getting dorm room philosophical, so bear with me. In spite of occasional outliers like “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Black Panther,” and “Ant Man,” the storytelling vocabulary of superhero movies feels quite constrained here. FX’s extravagantly inventive TV series “Legion” is evidence of this. Comic book writers and artists can convey exposition, character details, psychological states, and concurrent events occurring in parallel storylines in a plethora of striking or subtly expressive ways. For example, they can expand a single decisive moment to fill six pages or depict Spider-Man swinging through midtown Manhattan in a full-page splash panel dotted with thought balloons that summarize a year’s worth of his life. However, since linear time is where most commercial narratives develop, we’ve mostly become stuck in it in the Marvel movies that the MCU has released since 2008. The majority of the scenes in “Infinity War” fall into one of two categories: (1) scenes where people enter rooms or step outside and converse, or (2) action sequences where characters joke around while punching and zapping each other, dodging falling rocks, buildings, and spaceships, and attempting to avoid being sucked into time-space portals. When you restrict your storytelling in that manner, you can only convey so much information. Thanos is shown to be a weaker foe than the ticking timepiece. There are only so many moments or lines that “Infinity War” can give, for example, to Tony and Pepper; Bruce and Natasha, who had a strong connection in “Age of Ultron,” got separated soon after, and are only allowed to have a few brief exchanges here; or Peter Quill/Starlord (Chris Pratt), Rocket Raccoon, Drax, and Mantis (Pom Klementieff), who are stuck doing comic relief when they aren’t Idris Elba’s Heimdall, Benicio Del Toro’s The Collector, and Carrie Coon’s Proxima Midnight hardly appear in the movie. The few meaningful glances Cap receives are mostly directed at Sebastian Stan’s Bucky/Winter Soldier, who has even less to say, and he gets about two dozen lines at most. Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa/Black Panther, who anchored his own marvelous feature just a few months ago, is reduced to a glorified field general in “Infinity War,” standing alongside Okoye (Danai Gurira) and M’Baku (Winston Duke) and watching Thanos’ troops burn, trample, and otherwise disfigure the countryside (an image that’s more upsetting, for various reasons, than a lot of Thanos’ violence against individuals). Another drawback of having so many characters in one movie—so many that the IMDb page for the movie lists numerous major players who aren’t present—is that you start to realize that some characters are redundant variations on or photocopies of others, which you might not have noticed if you were watching them star in their own independent films. For instance, it may seem obvious to pair up Tony, Peter Parker, and Peter Quill in the same situations, but after spending a while with them, the constant barrage of wisecracks becomes grating. It’s like being stuck at a party where every other man thinks he’s the funniest person in the room. (The scenes between Thor and the Guardians are much better because Thor plays the straight man to Quill, who is threatened by his awesome masculine beauty.)

About the quiz

The comedy is more vividly perceived than the action, as is frequently the case in Russo’s Marvel films. (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” with its paranoid thriller stylings and brutal, close-quarters action, is still their zenith.) As well as giving Hemsworth more opportunities to display his formidable deadpan (when Rocket shows surprise that he can speak Groot’s language, he responds, “They taught it on Asgard—it was an elective”), the film makes excellent use of Thor and his cunning brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston). However, the humor undermines and clashes with the film’s somber themes rather than complementing them. The MCU has always excelled at self-aware comedy, but ultimately “Infinity War” suffers from it. Marvel’s “just kidding” attitude was a welcome antidote to the early DC Universe films’ fashionable gloom and to the “dark & gritty” trend that took over global pop culture after the success of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films. But if there was ever a time for Marvel to break out the Zack Snyder-style, heavy-metal gloom and slap the smirk off its own face, it’s now. This is a movie that is primarily about finding the courage to fight battles you know you can’t win and accepting the possibility of dying on your knees with your head held high. Also, you must try to play this Avengers Infinity War quiz. This film ought to shock and scar us as well as entertain and occasionally inspire us. It ought to murder Ned Stark, Optimus Prime, and Bambi’s mother before turning to us and apologizing after each new wound. These activities take place. Without the real trauma, the last fifteen minutes have the flavor of that kind of trauma. Because no plot development, no matter how grave, is irreversible, and because beloved characters rarely stay dead after they’ve been killed, modern superhero movies operate with even lower dramatic stakes than Star Wars or James Bond movies, we all know that what appears to be happening on screen cannot possibly be real. But as we watch Thanos harm characters we’ve come to love and wreak havoc on the world, we shouldn’t be considering any of that. Our hearts should be torn apart by the very spectacle.
