Meh. A 12 foot tall bad guy with purple skin and a lot of muscles, Thanos I believe he is called, spends the 2 and a half hour movie beating the tar out of Ironman, Spider Man, Thor, Rocket Raccoon , Groot, and a bunch of other super heroes whose names I missed. It took me three tries on my DVD player to get to the end of this movie before falling asleep. Most of the cast names meant nothing to me except for Robert Downey Jr doing Ironman and Chris Hemsworth doing Thor.
Thanos is ridiculously tough. The space going super heroes guide an asteroid, solid rock, a thousand feet across and a mile long onto Thanos’ head. For a minute we think maybe they got him. Nah, Thanos shakes off all the rock a minute later and continues beating the tar out of the super heroes.
They do a bit about an army in Wakanda fighting off an army of bad guys. In other movies Wakanda shows up as a black inhabited and operated country in deepest Africa, industrialized, and equipped with advanced stuff like anti gravity stretchers and advanced aircraft/spacecraft like they have in Star Wars. In this movie the Wakanda army, numerous and mostly infantry, is carrying short spears. The few Avengers helping them out are carrying nothing heavier than shoulder fired assault rifles, which make a feeble “pop pop” noise when fired. And in fact, the bad guys keep right on coming after even a lot of pop pops. You would think that real Avengers would be carrying something that fired 50 cal Browning Machine Gun (BMG) rounds with a blam blam loud enough to damage the speakers in my TV set. No such luck.
