Oh man I just watched it a couple of days ago in 3D and I there are some movies that just wanted to cash in on the craze but for me it worked in Infinity War.

The action just popped out and made things aliv e as if you were in front of them and about to be clobbered by Thanos.

I agree with your assessment on Thanos being a zealot who wanted a specific thing. Although for me he makes sense and rational. He wasn't some deranged lunatic nor one dimensional.

I have to hand it to their effects and design team who made the Mad Titan menacing and intimidating and it wasn't because he was big and manhandled everyone but his character design just worked. To put it into context the other purple menacing presence was Apocalypse but we all know he was hardly threatening in appearance or Aura.

Damn MCU really knows it's stuff as it made us laugh with the quips from Starlord, the sarcasm of Tony, the innocence of Peter Parker, and the swag of Thor, man hulk was hilarious with the jokes.

It made us stay in our seats and watch each action unfold and it gave us such a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

It was a great movie and for a comic nerd who read infinity gauntlet and infinity war damn MCU why make us wait another year?!!!
