    A compilation of film critics\u2019 impressions concerning Avengers: Infinity War, answers key, essentially non-spoilerish questions about what the Hollywood Reporter calls a \u201cdensely packed superhero orgy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

    1 Is the film worth seeing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Early tallies gave Infinity War an 88-per-cent \u201cfresh\u201d score on Rotten Tomatoes and an average pro-reviewer score of 68 on Metacritic. Basically, Infinity War is no Black Panther (the highest-scoring Marvel Cinematic Universe film on Rotten Tomatoes). It\u2019s not even a Thor: Ragnarok. But a huge cliffhanger hits its marks and sets things up solidly for next year\u2019s followup moneyed monstrosity: Infinity War, Chapter 2.<\/p>\n

    2 Look at all those superheroes! Is this movie too darned bloated?<\/strong> \u201cInfinity War does suffer at times from a certain bloat,\u201d writes IGN. \u201cThere\u2019s no getting around the abundance of characters and subplots that are feeding into (villain) Thanos\u2019 bigger story.\u201d Variety writes with praise: \u201cAvengers: Infinity War can, at times, make it feel like you\u2019re at a birthday party where you got so many presents that you start to grow tired of opening them. But taken on its own pi\u00f1ata-of-fun terms, it\u2019s sharp, fast-moving and elegantly staged.\u201d<\/p>\n

    3 But isn\u2019t it confusing trying to follow a half-dozen narrative threads across the universe?<\/strong> Gratefully, the veteran filmmakers here are expert traffic cops of such major franchise intersections. \u201cDirectors Joe and Anthony Russo and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely \u2026 find clever groupings of characters and an equitable rhythm as the film shifts between narratives,\u201d Vanity Fair writes.<\/p>\n

    4 But doesn\u2019t it result in too many of heroes getting short shrift?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cNo one is relegated to stock player, no matter how small their role,\u201d writes IGN. \u201cYes, War Machine fans, there\u2019s even something here for you.\u201d But The Associated Press counters: \u201cThere may be some hint of overpopulation anxiety in Thanos\u2019s ambition and in the Russos\u2019 frighteningly overcrowded film.\u201d And Entertainment Weekly slams: \u201cMarvel is sitting on such an embarrassment of riches with its deep bench of characters that some don\u2019t have much more to do than act as glorified extras.\u201d<\/p>\n

    5 OK, but what about tone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I hear this film goes dark. \u201cInfinity War is big, blustery and brave, taking viewers to places that they may not be used to going,\u201d writes Washington Post critic Michael O\u2019Sullivan, pointing to narrative shadows uncommon for the MCU.<\/p>\n

    6 So does Marvel\u2019s signature humour help leaven the proceedings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The screenwriters \u201chave a deft, jokey, sometimes glib touch that spreads the humour around and prevents this long film from ever getting stodgy,\u201d says The Hollywood Reporter. The actors \u201csnap off one-liners and sharp remarks with an extra edge of sarcastic disdain.\u201d But New York magazine\u2019s Vulture is no fan, writing: \u201cThe relentlessly lame one-liners of those poor galaxy guardians are the movie\u2019s low points.\u201d<\/p>\n

    7 So how does Thanos stack up against the best MCU villains?<\/strong> \u201c(Josh) Brolin makes Thanos a suitably authoritative, melancholy villain \u2014 someone who really does seem deluded enough to fancy himself a merciful deity rather than a mass murderer for the ages,\u201d writes the Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n

    8 Infinity War pits goateed egotists against each other, as well as several actors named Chris. How does it all shake out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cTony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) stage a Sherlock Holmes meta-duel and compare goatees,\u201d writes The New York Times. \u201cThe hunky-Chris showdown \u2014 Hemsworth vs. Pratt (Peter Quill) vs. Evans (Captain America) \u2014 ends in a three-way tie.\u201d<\/p>\n

    9 So how do you classify this cog within the efficient and massive Marvel Studios machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cAs an exercise of studio might … it has no peer. Flagrantly, bombastically extravagant, it plays its audience like a hundred-million fiddles,\u201d writes Vulture. \u201cInfinity War isn\u2019t really anything you could call a movie \u2014 it\u2019s more of a fulfilment centre,\u201d scalds Time magazine.<\/p>\n

    10 One last question: Just how many films are there so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is sometimes reported that there are 18 movies in the MCU, but don\u2019t be fooled \u2014 and don\u2019t forget Universal\u2019s The Incredible Hulk (2008). The correct tally is 19 films, say such outlets as Time, as well as Box Office Mojo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
