I've enjoyed some of the Marvel oeuvre.. but honestly.. this is not up to the mark, nowhere bloody near, not at all. Let's be honest; It's a turkey.

Very poor directing, Russo bros.. whoever they are.. it's like.. are they in the right job or did someone mistake the set janitors and kept them on to lower costs? Shoddy in fact; - they'd have been far better off using whoever directed Thor 3, Dark World or Avengers Age of Ultron, or Ironman III, Or even Thor Ragnarok, - all better directed and more watchable movies.

The cinematography of the 'live' footage was generally awful. I mean, shocking. Amateur. It made me wonder if they'd used the wrong lenses or cameras or something.

As for performances.. 'Acting', as it used to be called.. where to start.. I'll keep it simple: Most of the 'stars' including RDJ are taking the piss.. it's not as if they had a great deal to do anyway, but.. they must be laughing all the way to the bank.. call this a day job? They're getting money for old rope.

The screenplay, the plot - is practically non-existent, and what there is is balderdash, tripe, codswallop and piffle. Half a crap story painfully overstretched into well over two hours.. the ending is a complete cop-out / a cobbled together mess.. they must've been stoned and thought it was clever.. it wasn't, it isn't.

I was actually looking forward to seeing this.. but having already seen Ready Player One a few weeks back - absolutely no contest - Ready Player one is a truly great movie, by a great director, great cinematography, screenplay, story, plot, music, soundtrack, FX, ideas, the whole kaboodle.

Comparing Avengers Infinity war to ready Player One is like putting a used Edsel next to a brand new Aston Martin.

This is a big big budget movie that (apart from some quality CGI) looks like it was made on a shoestring in a back-alley. Shame on the Russos.. and whoever else was responsible for this forgettable pile of doo-doo.

Oh, the (almost entirely scored) soundtrack wasn't bad.. but way too glorious for the poor character playing, performances, script and screenplay.

Watch it when your friends buy the dvd or something.. save your money for DeadPool II or buy the DVD of Ready Player One!
