Well I just got out from a screening with my mom and brother. You know, to celebrate Mother's Day.
Before going in, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I'm not the biggest Marvel fan, but I've enjoyed their movies in the past. Loved Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy.
This movie might have changed that. Cause I might turn into a Marvel fan now.
The focus on Thanos and his goal was a lot stronger than I thought it was going to be. I also didn't expect it to be quiet as it was. It let scenes breathe, it let people react to what was happening on screen.
Kudos has to be given to how this movie was crafted, from top to bottom. The story, characters, pacing, tone: any of these aspects could've easily have been screwed up with a movie like this, a movie with this many characters. But it didn't. This movie nails everything. Absolutely everything.
My mom loved this movie. My mother, a person who has never picked up a comic book in her life and never really cared much for superheroes. Now she can't wait for part 2 to come out next year.
I'm actually rooting for this movie to beat Avatar. Go Avengers go!
