The Last Movie You Watched

what dreams may come always gets me emotional and teary as well. So does The pursuit of happiness.

Watched Infinity War again last night. Third time for me. IMO, best movie of 2018. Ready Player One was really good too though.

I found Infinity War entertaining - not great, not bad.  I probably would have enjoyed it more without that huge, gaping hole in the plot.

I enjoy action movies but couldn't believe how bored I was while watching Infinity War. For me, that movie was a big snooze.

What gapping hole?

IMO, it was brilliant and very philosophical for an action movie.  The whole movie is a giant moral dilemma.  Is Thanos good or bad?  I mean, he does want the universe to be adequate to everybody, but at the same time, to get it others need to be unwilling sacrifice.  One half wins big, the other half loses everything.  It's all random though, so equal shot at one or the other.  If he doesn't do it, the whole may suffer anyway, but in different ways.

Anyway, just my two cents on it. Looking forward to the sequel.

Ok.  Thanos wants the six Infinity Stones so he can be all-powerful.  Once he is all-powerful, he can eliminate half of all life in the universe.  This will ensure a better standard of living for those things left alive.

Well, if Thanos had enough power to remove that much life, it stands to reason he could have used his power to create sufficient resources for everyone, and not have had to kill anyone at all. If that was his intention, he could have enlisted the Avengers et al to help him recover the stones.  This could have made for just as much action as the film they did make, and would have made a lot more sense. 

And, since Thanos opts to kill trillions instead of creating more resources for them, he's clearly a bad guy.

(The comics have an answer for this, but we're talking strictly about the film)
