6 Thoughts on Avengers: Infinity War
My advice for seeing Avengers: Infinity War: See it twice, and make sure you have a good seat. The first time I saw the film, on opening night, I was low and slightly to the left. And I really do think my askew view of the big screen kept me from fully meshing with the large-scale, bombastic superhero action. I came away from Avengers: Infinity War with slight hesitation.
Then I saw it a second time two days later, with a perfect seat, and the movie was even better!
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.
I think I’m allowing myself to get too hyped up for these new Marvel movies. I was giddy all day on Thursday, just counting down the hours until I got to take my place in the theater and watch Avengers 3. I wasn’t blown away by the film that first time…nor the second time, I’ll admit. Avengers: Infinity War is not a perfect movie. But it’s a damn good one, and hugely entertaining.

Ant-Man and the Wasp Reminds Us That There is Still Joy in the World
Part of me was curious why we didn’t get a new Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer to go before Avengers: Infinity War. Then I remembered that Marvel doesn’t want to take attention away from their current awesome movie release by focusing too much on their next awesome movie release.
So I think this fun and hilarious trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer is a nice palate cleanser from the ending of Infinity War this past weekend.
Looks awesome! Ant-Man is my favorite hero in the MCU and I’m excited that he’s getting a full-on sequel, perhaps even a trilogy if this one does well. I think this movie could be a really fun thrill ride of superheroics and special effects. And giving the Wasp a big role will be great. Michael Peña is also hilarious in this trailer.
The villain, The Ghost, looks damn cool, too. And I’m glad to see Scott’s daughter coming back big time. She was a great part of the first film.
I think this is going to be set before Infinity War. And maybe the post-credits stinger will be Captain America showing up to recruit Scott and Hope for Infinity War 2.
Here’s to getting the Ant-Man gang back together on July 6!

6 Things I Want to See in Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War is only about a month away and the hype is pretty stellar. Will Marvel be able to maintain a solid, exciting movie with so many characters and so much anticipation? I’m confident that they can and I can’t wait for the movie! And, of course, I have certain expectations!
It’s almost here!
No, my enjoyment of the film will not rest on whether my expectations are met. I am hopefully not going to hold Avengers: Infinity War to any standards other than its own. But there are plenty of neat things I can speculate about or hope for in the film. I’m fairly confident that the trailers haven’t given everything away. I’m sure there’s so much left to see and do and experience!

Avengers: Infinity War; I’m in it for the Banter
The new Avengers: Infinity War trailer is here and it’s pretty awesome!
Honestly, I’m starting to feel like this Thanos threat is going to be a pretty daunting challenge for the filmmakers. How do they turn something so nebulous and vast as Thanos and intergalactic armies of faceless aliens into an adversary that doesn’t just feel like a big, CGI mess? Granted, I have 110% faith in Marvel Studios and the Russo brothers to pull this off with aplomb, but I am having some slight fears.
On the other hand, the witty banter in this trailer is on freakin’ point! Tony and Star-Lord is great! Peter and Dr. Strange at the end is great! If nothing else, this movie is going to give us some fun new banter partners!
Movie comes out on April 27. The wait hopefully won’t be too terrible.
