Just watched it this morning...what a ride! Highly recommended, with two caveats:

1) If you're not at least moderately familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe you will be hopelessly lost.

2) This film does not stand on its own. We'll all need to see Avengers 4 next year to find out how it ends.

Enjoyed it, except for the unnecessary quip about Jesus. Totally unnecessary.

Saw “Deadpool 2” today. Ugh. Nowhere close to as good as #1. Every other joke is a penis joke.

It’s like Michael Bay made “Suicide Squad” with the writers of “Ishtar.”

And, of course, the reference to the lesbo lovers.

Saw it today - nodded off a couple times. Yes it sucked that bad. It has nothing to do with the original Infinity War as published back in the day.

As much as I have liked the various Avenger-based movies, this “franchise” needs to come to an abrupt and permanent end.

the Marvel Universe has reached a point of complete foolishness.

What I would give for old-style drama movie these days.

Remember whenthe pundits and Disney cheerleaders were telling us how big the Black Panther box-office was?

3 months later it is already on home video.

The absolute core films that provide fast backstory and characters, prior to A:IW, are Cpt America Civil War, Thor Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy 1.
