Critics of trades (publications serving the film industry) are rather cautious. Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter is busy retelling the content of the film, noting that an important role in the picture is played by the relationship of the villain Thanos and his adopted daughter Gamora, and when their storyline turns out to be at the center of the narrative, the film changes into a jocular mood for a classic tragedy.
Owen Gleiberman from Variety calls the picture “overloaded mashup from Marvel”, but at the same time recognizes that this is an impressive film. Thanos, according to the critic, is “a convincing sociopath, in which Hellboy, Hulk, Darth Vader and Oliver Stone combine.”
AO Scott from New York Times writes that the film of the Russo brothers does not make sense in itself, but, of course, it is unlikely that anyone will watch it without knowing what happened in the previous 18 series. Scott emphasizes that as a critic it is difficult for him to judge this project because of his involvement in the Marvel movie universe: “The joint expression of the interests of Marvel and Disney is not so much a creative or commercial occupation as a harsh reality of life like sex, weather or capitalism itself. Therefore, criticizing the franchise is very difficult. ” Given that Scott wrote a book on criticism, it can be understood. The author has long been trying to understand the position of the critic in the world, and in the case of the “Avengers” he is interested in reflecting on the extent to which the liberal message of the studio’s films is combined with the inevitable aggression from the defenders of the paintings: “This is just a film! Do not spoil our fun! “
Briton Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian puts the film four stars and compares it with the final parts of the franchises “The Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter.” Bradshaw, who is usually rather skeptical about studio films, admits that, despite the concept of Traveling Wilburys (a group that was played by Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynn), “War of Infinity” is “very watching movies, confidently based on the previously created mythology. Confidence also sounds in the tone of the apocalyptic gloom. I understand that all this is stupid, but I look forward to continuing. “
“Avengers: The War of Infinity”
Eric Cohn from the website IndieWire writes that “War of Infinity” contains the most dramatic cliffhanger since the fifth episode of “Star Wars” – “The Empire Strikes Back.” “Much of the film seems to be patterned. For an hour, we tear through the various characters of Marvel, and then a series of battles. True, with one exception: some well-known heroes are dying. ” The critic’s rating is B, and at the end of the text he notes an unprecedented level of the studio’s confidence in his ability to keep spectators in place while waiting for the scenes after the credits. “This time the epilogue assumes that, despite the deplorable circumstances, the show should continue.”
Stephanie Zakarek of Time feels similar to a colleague from New York Times Feel. “Avengers: War of Infinity” is not quite what is called a film. Rather, it is the center for the execution of orders. All the familiar heroes of Marvel in the frame, and soon something incredible will happen. ” Zakarek apologizes that her text was somewhat vague, citing a quote from Marvel Studios’ official appeal to critics: “19 films, 10 years of studio and thousands of hours of work by thousands of people have led to this point. Out of respect for them and for all who wait patiently to learn what fate has prepared for our heroes, we earnestly ask you to keep the secrets of our universe until the end of this universe. “
Justin Chang from Los Angeles Times and at all begins the text from a mention of the request of studio to not be spoiled, but admits, that the concept of a spoiler at all a miscellaneous, therefore if you the cinema yet did not see, it is better to not read further. We note that his review is rather negative, but Thanos liked the criticism: “As soon as the feeling that Brolin swallowed a giant purple cobblestone, it turns out that Thanos is a powerful and melancholy villain. He is so confused that he considers himself more a merciful deity than an organizer of the genocide at all times. “
Michael O’Sullivan of The Washington Post puts the film three stars out of four. “Death and destruction are what Thanos wants. But, unlike the various operetta villains, his motives, which are explained in flashbacks and speeches, do not consist in world domination. He wants to destroy half the living beings in the universe, which is threatened with overpopulation, and the resources are depleted at a terrible speed to save the other half. His cold-blooded calculations are not only a perversion of altruism, but an argument for destruction. For a superhero movie, this kind of nuance is a fresh stream. ” During the press-show, O’Sullivan heard a lot of amazed cries and a lot of laughter.
“Avengers: The War of Infinity”
Michael Phillips from the Chicago Tribune was not thrilled, he put the picture two stars out of four. “The 19th part of the Marvel was a strange one – a little bold, a bit cowardly. Her modest returns come from a combination of different characters. For example, Chris Pratt, Star Lord of the “Galaxy Guards”, first encounters Tony Stark Robert Downey-Jr .. Bruce Banner Mark Ruffalo gets to Wakidu. Plus Thor Chris Hemsworth without a hammer, Doctor Strange Benedict Cumberbatch (an outstanding role) or Drax Dave Batista (also an outstanding role). This is not a film. This is a seminar on the convergence of marketing. “
If you look at the overall assessment of top critics, then “War of Infinity” will get 3.5 / 5, that is something average. The site Rotten Tomatoes is forced to share reviews only on the positive and negative, and so today the movie brothers Rousseau 86% of “freshness.”
“War of Infinity” will appear in Russian cinemas on May 3.
