You can look at ebay sales data from the past 72 hours to indirectly confirm whether character X makes an appearance in the movie.

yeah, yeah...

Absolutely loved it. Let the theater exhausted, like I'd just been through an emotional wringer. 

If you don't like this film I'm not sure what you'd even like, comic book wise.

Same here. My personal favorite line was the "your really dark, you sure your not from the DC universe", lol. That line killed it with the audience. Everyone laughed at that one. 

 

Ya pretty awesome that line has nothing to do with the movie...cause you know it was in the trailer prior to the movie...

Overall the movie was meh.

[Chip Cataldo]

For those saying "meh" please elaborate on why. I'm really curious because this movie is a living, breathing comic book. It's what we love, translated into "reality." I don't see how it could have been better.

I've said it before ad nauseum, AOU, Winter Soldier and Civil War is THE holy trilogy to me.  Surpassing SW, ESB and Jedi of my youth.  I want to love Infinity War more than anything, and unfortunately I don't.  Of course I'm the guy who would enjoy a superhero movie without an entire punch being thrown, so what do I know.  A two and a half hour UFC card is not for me.  I'd go on further but after all these years I still have no idea how to use spoiler tags, and don't wish to ruin it for anybody.

Now THIS would have been really cool to see yet another 70's character appearing.

This Marvel Character Would Be In The MCU If The AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Screenwriters Had Their Way

Quote

Out promoting Avengers: Infinity War, screenwriters Christoper Markus and Steven McFeely were asked what character they'd like to see the MCU introduce in future films.  Without hesitation, Markus zeroed in on Aaron Stack aka Machine Man.  "Literally, no one will ever do this — I say this, and then it’ll be announced — I think Machine Man is hilarious.  I like Moon Knight, but you have to handle Moon Knight in a very careful way, or he just becomes negative image Batman. But there are certain runs in the comics where you go, ‘That’s crazy.'"

It's somewhat interesting that Markus namedrops Moon Knight as that's a character Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed on the current Infinity War press tour that the studio is actively exploring.

McFeely offered up his own suggestion, a character that's also recently come up in interviews.  "I’d love to see Namor.  I don’t think they even have the rights to him. But that’s a guy with a big upside, I think."

Winter Solider is definitely still #1 on my list, for all super hero films (DC & Marvel). Not only did it have Robert Redford, one of my all time favorite actors, it also had one of the best antagonists with the Winter Soldier, an absolutely picture perfect pace, some brilliant action scene's and putting Black Widow in that film was just ingenious as the scenes between Cap and Widow were fantastic and helped break up the more serious scenes and action scenes. Not sure I will ever see a better super hero film.

I don't watch trailers so I didn't see that until I was watching the film. Trailers turned into big spoilers many years back, so I jus stopped watching them. Its best to go into a film knowing as little about it as possible, at least IMO.

I think what IceMans point was, wasn't that line from the Deadpool trailer???

I didn't hear it in my showing of Infinity War

The scene you are talking about has nothing to do with Avengers.  It's a line from the new Deadpool 2 trailer. 

 

Here is the quote:

Cable tells Deadpool: “You’re no *swears* hero, you’re just a clown dressed up as a sex toy.”

Deadpool replies: “So dark. You sure you’re not from the DC Universe?”

 

I guess this goes to prove how little of an impact the film had

I'm a little confused...your favorite line of the movie was in a trailer before the movie?  Was that trailer even played before the movie?

I loved

Spoiler

How badass Dr. Strange’s powers were.  They really worked well with the cg and it was great to show how powerful he’s become.

Where has the time gone.  I remember seeing that chart of upcoming Marvel movies and thinking "2018 / 2019 - that is so far in the future that things will probably implode before then".  An now we sit on the cusp of seeing Avengers Infinity War and Infinity Gauntlet will be here soon.  I kind of feels like the end of an era but maybe its just the beginning.

I prefer the last 4 words!  So many story arcs they can develop in the coming years, spanning multiple characters and their respective films ... for those of us old enough to have read the arcs growing up, it is amazing to see the justice done to them visually ... MMM!

For those that have seen is it too dark for a 6 and 8 year old to see?

There were quite a few kids in my theater.  I can't say for certain how old they were, possibly 10?  There's definitely some mild cussing in the film if that's any sort of reference.

Agreed that Winter Soldier and Civil War are the pinnacle of Marvel filmmaking.  Saying Infinity War is bad compared to those two is like saying Toy Story 3 is the worst Toy Story.  They're all knockout films from an individual perspective, but when compared against each other, there will always be a loser.

Didn't say it was bad...just indifferent after my first viewing, will be going again on Monday to soak more of it in.

Oh my bad. Just remember hearing it and everyone laughing. I was trying to remember who said it and I couldn't remember. I guess that would be why, lol.

Toy Story 3 was bad though.
