Star-Lord's ridiculous tantrum and the overbearing score were the spit in the face I needed to realise that I don't like these movies. I went through the MCU and saw that I've only rated about a third of them as decent or good. That's a lot of mediocrity and garbage that I've wasted my time on. Well, it stops here. I'm not going to let you spit on me anymore, Disney. 👋
Compare this movie to Mad Max: Fury Road. It's very obvious which is the better movie. It's not this one ... I saw a trailer for an action movie from the 1980s today, and everything about that two-minute clip felt so much more real and impressive than anything in Avengers: Infinite Greenscreen. This capeshit is killing the art of cinema.

Wow... This really escalated or devolved 😉... I'm not really into internet board games, the troll culture, the homoerotic banter, etc... I understand it is part of the appeal for some people, the teasing, flirting by insult, etc... To each their own, but I'm not into internet culture so I tend not to participate in that aspect... No hard feelings 👍
I do enjoy discussing movies... I usually post on whatever movies I've seen recently. If there is no discussion topic I usually start a new one... Have had some interesting discussions here and have heard some divergent points of view.
TMDB's not as encyclopedic as IMDB was in terms of discussion topics, but the database is solid (i use it for my media server) and the discussions that do exist aren't as inane as on some of the other sites...

This thread makes me sad.... imdb forums closed down because people were rude and disrespectful. I love being able to talk about movies and shows that I like or dislike but and the end of the day respect should be number 1.

Yep. At least there only seem to be one or two idiots here. Maybe one + socks. You might find it best to put some people on Ignore.

You are absolutely correct. Sometimes, though, when I see someone who always nasty, disrespectful and contributes nothing to the discussion, I feel the need to troll the troll, so to speak. I realize that I'm only adding to the problem. You posters who can just brush it off are better people than me.

Allow me to chime in. I saw Avengers Infinity War and enjoyed it. I am not in love with it like everyone else but I enjoyed it. I have to disagree when you say it is the riskiest blockbuster of the past ten years. The characters dying was handled well but we all know they are coming back. So what is so risky about that?Therefore I can't agree on that being one of the riskiest blockbusters in the last decade. A villain winning has happened many times before.
No Country For Old Men
The Usual Suspects
Seven
Silence of the Lambs
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
The Empire Strikes Back
Thanos while being a competent villain I do not think is the best. I find Killmonger to be much more compelling and interesting. Also if we expand to the small screen of the MCU I found Kingpin and Killgrave more interesting as well. Thing is what makes Mad Max Fury Road so good is that it's a simple story made so well. A movie does not have to have a deep story in order to be great. Execution is key. To quote Roger Ebert it is not what it's about it's how it's about it. Sometimes the most simple story can often make the best movies if executed right.
The thing about Mad Max being a risk is it is not a guaranteed financial hit. It takes a lot of stones to convince a studio give you that kind of money for a r rated action movie that has a niche audience. Not to mention a lot of that movie is done practically. The use of real cars and the stunt work really showcases how much blood and sweat went into that film. It also does not waste it's time with bogging itself down with tons of exposition like a lot of films are guilty of doing. It tells the story visually with little exposition. It is movies like that are why I go to the cinema. Would some call it overrated sure but I loved it. Along with Blade Runner 2049 that movie was a pure delight and amazing!
Blade Runner 2049 much like Mad Max utilized a lot of practical effects and relied very little on green screen. The issue with Marvel films is they rely heavily on that. Now I am no fool I know they need visual effects for the type of movie they are making but I think they could utilized practical effects more than they do. It is why MCU films never revolutionize certain aspects of film making. They make stuff that is sufficient or good but nothing exceptional. Blade Runner 2049 had revolutionary cinematography. I have yet to see an MCU film achieve such heights.
In short I love a lot of MCU movies they do have some gems but I personally like other MCU films better than Infinity War. These are my personal favorites I will rank them.
Guardians of the Galaxy 8.5/10
Iron Man 8.5/10
The Avengers 8/10
Captain America Winter Soldier 8/10
Captain America Civil War 7.5/10 I know I am in the minority with this ranking
Black Panther 9/10
Avengers Infinity War 8/10

Mad Max was a proven franchise in the past. Just because something has been a success in the past does not mean it will be a draw currently. When a studio puts over 140 million dollars into a flick you think they just want a decent profit? No they want an attractive dollar amount. Mad Max Fury Road while successful was nowhere near the success of a lot of comic book movies being put out today. That is why the production was so difficult. You know studios chomp at the bit to make a once r rated franchise pg-13 to make more money. George Miller did not want that so he fought for it. So your passive aggressive comment was not appreciated. You did not break my heart maybe you're lashing out because perhaps you do not enjoy the film? Which is fine if you don't but comments like the one you made are unnecessary.
Blade Runner has a loyal fanbase as well wouldn't you say? At the time of it's release it bombed but over the years it has gained quite the cult following. Did this help Blade Runner 2049? Nope as a matter of fact it was a massive box office disappointment. It is a shame because this is what makes studios not fund good movies. Here Blade Runner 2049 came it did not sell out and make it a generic sci-fi action flick, it still honored what the original was about and it did not get rewarded for it.
Also I did not think I needed to spell it out for you but I will. Empire Strikes Back was not the only blockbuster where the bad guy won. The Dark Knight could fit into this category as well.

A war? Over what? Flex those internet muscles some more. Someone gets easily triggered. You okay? Need someone to talk to?

Yeah we can agree on that. Someone tells you to handle something more civilized and you ask if someone wants a war. That had me dying from laughter. Got anymore things to say for my amusement? Or you done?

Where in my post did I say I cared that you disagreed? It was the way in which it was done was rather rude. Oh and certainly I can handle disagreements as a matter of fact I have made many friends on here from friendly debates I have had. I just found it funny how passive aggressive your comment was. I had to resist asking if you needed pepper to go with that salt. It is obvious you dislike Mad Max Fury Road which is fine I get it but it bled through into your comment. Subtlety helps my friend. Also learn how to take your emotion out of your opinion it will do wonders for you.

No it makes no difference to me whether you like it or not. You're entitled to like and dislike whatever it is you please. I think you weren't counting on me responding the way I did. You probably assumed I would respond like an angry internet troll that you said something about a movie I liked. Nope I simply pointed how you saying it was no risk at all was not true. That is all.

Okay well personally I feel like Infinity War is overrated. Thing is I do not need to cast a generalization onto the people who hold it in high regard to make myself feel better like you. Sometimes people simply like a movie you don't.
