The question with*Avengers: Infinity War*was never “Is it going to be a hit?” The question was, “How big of a hit?” And after this weekend, we see that it’s already landed in the record books. At an opening gross of $250 million,*Infinity War*now holds the record for biggest opening weekend of all-time beating out*Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which previously held the title with an opening weekend of $248 million.
The question in the weeks to come will be if*Infinity War*has legs. On the one hand, it doesn’t have much in the way of competition for the next few weeks. Most studios have deigned to get out of the way with only small bits of counterprogramming like*Tully*and*Overboard*trying to withstand the onslaught of*Infinity War. That being said, it’s not exactly the feel-good movie of the year, and while there’s plenty of banter and set pieces, the conclusion is kind of a bummer as opposed to something like*Black Panther, which thrived on being a fun, uplifting picture. I don’t know if the ending will harm*Infinity War, but I do think audiences will be eager for something like the lighthearted*Deadpool 2*when it comes along on May 18th.

if it has a mass crowd following and "everyone loves it" its not for me. if it made $3 dollars and 1 person saw it i'll be on the way to see it right now. the mass population is that of imbeciles. im like kanye of the movie critic game! :weights:

I wasn't too impressed with it. The whole tone of the movie is rather depressing aside from a few scenes of comedic relief. And it's so CG at this point why even pay actors.
so for those of us who will probably never watch it. what makes it depressing? do they all die at the end? i'm hoping so because the fucken avengers series is about as played out as X-Men.
we need more movies like dead pool. something unique, clever, and different. i find movies like iron man and avengers series so dumbed down it's almost painful. compare these turd series to something like the dark knight (2008). it's just a totally different level. they actually put thought and effort into the dark knight besides just pew pew CGI pew pew..
Do not spoil the movie! I'm sure their tones of people on here that have not watched it. Bouncer you just need to wait to watch it on TV.
As a comic book fan. It's the best marvel out there. As far as solo nothing will beat deadpool because of the R- rated scenes.
Chuck you say to much CG, but go watch transformers. Way more CGI than actual actors...
Plenty of actors that play there role in Avengers. Only CGI was thanos, rocket and a few bad guys.. yea if u wana count hulk, but so what? The ratings speak for itself.
It was clear from the get go they was going to do an infinity war part 2
