Wow! What a movie.
Incredibly impressive how the Russo brothers made this film. So many characters, so many places, so much action, but able to move a plot forward with few (if any) significant plot holes. They were also able to add real emotion to a knock-out, drag down crazy story. So many fantastical beings and they "kept it real". There was not one time that i felt if those beings actually existed and were in our world they would have acted differently. I can "buy" a teenager in a iron-Spider suit doing unbelievable things (within the rules of the universe he's in), but if he says a line that make you say or think "that's dumb, Spiderman would have never said that" - you start to lose me. None of that in this movie. Even the Mad Titan himself - a 12 foot tall purple alien in CGI - was so relatable and real!
Speaking of villians - they were not only real, delivering "real" dialogue, but they had teeth (literally and figuratively). The Black Order were the Avengers equals and in some ways more so. They created real tension over the outcome of battles and fate of our heroes. Even the "foot soldiers" of the bad guys were a suicidal force to be reckoned with. They were not the Chitauri of the first Avengers that were mere clay pigeons for the team to pick off.
There were also so many moments that made one gasp and made one swell with emotion. Solid humor and great interaction between the Avengers as they came together - just how you would expect broken friendships to mend. It was also great to see heroes meeting each other for the first time.
So I loved it - very much. It may be my favorite Marvel film...actually it is. Can't wait to see it again!

IW is crossing the $1B mark today, making it the fastest film to do so.

5 out of 6 of the original Avengers got matching tattoos to celebrate Infinity War and the end of the first 10 years of Marvel films.
Any guesses as to which Avenger couldn't be convinced to join in?

Not reading the article yet but I'll guess it's Ruffalo. The rest of them all have tattoos already.

You would be a winner! Although they said Hemsworth had to be bullied into it.

Kind of surprises me about Hemsworth, he has 2 other tats (one for his wife and kids, and then I think the other is of surfing?)

Just because he has some already doesn't mean he just wants anything put on his body.

No I get that, but he’s into small, minimalist tattoos. Idk where he put the Avengers tat though (honestly I shouldn’t say anything about tats, because I’m scared of needles and I won’t join my friends in getting a friendship tattoo).

Maybe someone will put the tattoo on the Hulk as an Easter egg.

Infinity War is currently #13 for the all time domestic box office, wouldn’t be surprised to be #10 by Sunday.
On the worldwide list, it’s #14, and I estimate it will be at #7 or 8 by Sunday. What’s so interesting to watch about this one is that Black Panther might finally pass HP8 this weekend (just needs another $2 million), and Infinity War is $112M behind it, and probably will pass BP and hP8, maybe even Age of Ultron to land the #7 spot. It’s opening in China this weekend, so I’m expecting huge returns.

IW just went from 5th highest grossing MCU movie to 4th. Only $291 million to go to surpass BP and Avengers 1 & 2.

Forbes is guessing it will make $55M (low end) to $74M (high end) domestic this weekend. All eyes are on the Chinese box office though (especially since China doesn't care about Star Wars).
