It honestly baffles the mind as to why this film was such a huge box office success. I didn't like the original 'The Avengers', I loved 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', and now I'm back to not liking 'Avengers: Infinity War'.

Firstly, I mean there are way too many characters in this film!! We have the original Avengers Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow and Thor (no Hawkeye in this installment). Now they've added the entire Guardians of the Galaxy crew, Scarlet Witch and Vision from 'Age of Ultron', Black Panther, Doctor Strange, War Machine, Falcon, Winter Soldier and Spider-man. (What the hell is he doing here???). Loki is back, although only for a (very) short while. Bloody hell, that's a LOT of protagonists for ONE FILM!! With so many characters I actually forgot about some of them when they were not on screen. I mean, Iron Man and Captain America literally were on screen only for a few minutes the entire film! They are also unrecognizable (Thor with short hair, Captain American with a beard and moustache, Black Widow now blonde...) It was way more fun when each character had his own film.

Just like 2012's 'The Avengers' this film plays like a medley of superhero films, and not a standalone film. 'Infinity War' was also too fantastical with not an inch of reality. There was not a single screen without CGI and blue or green screen effects. It felt like I was watching a video game. The film clearly illustrates how CGI is taken much too far in films. Oh, so now Iron Man's mask just disappears? And Spider-man's too? And Quill?? Were all of their superhero suits designed by the same person??? It looked silly and felt fake, choosing the easy way out.

I found the film boring. I hated 'Black Panther', so needless to say I didn't enjoy any of the Wakanda/Black Panther scenes. This was pure CGI and no excitement whatsoever. Iron Man's suit doesn't look as believable as it did in the first 'Iron Man'. It looks too obvious CGI. My favorite character was the antagonist Thanos, who was probably the deepest character of all, and I completely understood his intentions.

I couldn't wait for this installment to end. Oh, thank goodness...But, oh dear me, this is Part 1 of 2...
