Avengers: Infinity War – The good, the big bad and the snuggly

A local radio DJ talked about how much he liked Avengers: Infinity War. He was able to follow what was happening in the film despite not being a big comic book movie fan. I’m a little surprised that someone with a passing interest in superhero films could wrap their head around a fairly complex universe that consists of 18 films prior. I would say a good handful of these films would be prerequisites to fully appreciate what Marvel is accomplishing with Avengers: Infinity War. I’m not sure if the radio DJ was trying to be funny when he asked “how come Wonder Woman is not in this?”

My perspective is from having watched the Marvel Films. Sure, some of them fell short of expectations. That’s not the case with Avengers: Infinity War, it’s a thoroughly enjoyable film. At the same time, I can understand why not everyone is on board with it.

I won’t be repeating what I wrote in Avengers: Infinity War Review. Check it out, it captures my thoughts the same day I watched it. I will expanding on some other points below now that I’ve had a couple of days to process it.

Movie Review: Ready Player One is All Fun and Games

Ready Player One is a high energy blend of pop culture nostalgia and futuristic virtual reality technology. Director Steven Spielberg is aiming for another escapist action adventure sci-fi blockbuster. Although Spielberg hits the mark with a fast pace and an enjoyable fun factor, Ready One Player doesn’t quite rise to the level of this director’s best hit movies.
