A mind bending new take

This show was so fresh and offered an extremely interesting and original new take on the X Men universe. Dan Stevens and Aubrey Plaza are phenomenal as are the rest of the cast. The show was writing by the guys behind Fargo, so as expected it is a very well written script with sharp, meaningful dialogue and some genuinely shocking moments. There are some very experimental methods of filming used and for the most part they totally work with the surreal tone that the show achieves.
The only reason I can't score this a perfect 10 is because I found the ending of the first season to be very anti climatic after all of the clever, tightly woven build up. Still though, this is a great new show.

Everyone brought together

Contains spoilers, click to show

A movie that we have all been been waiting for. All heroes we have seen so far, come together to face the galaxies biggest threat. Thanos finally leaves his throne to collect stones which his generals have been incapable of retrieving.
Considering that if he had got up in the first place he would have done this along time ago and accomplished his goal. Any how, the movie portrays the heroes compiling a plan to stop Thanos by hiding the stones as best they can. It also shows that Thanos has some of the most powerful generals in reserve. I mean why not unleash them from the start?
So a flimsy plan, a good chance of survival, an epic fight. What more could you want?
Now here’s to hoping that they continue this on with the X-Men vs the Avengers

The cheese won me over!

Ok fine it's not the greatest film ever and is not going to win any awards; however, I would put this up there with any popcorn film over the last few years for sure.

The bus scene is hilarious and the script is hokey at times, but if you don't take it too seriously I think it's just fine.

Others had mentioned the CGI being sub par, but it didn't bother me as annoying or stand out as being bad.

Unfortunately, the film did not do well at the US box office, so probably done for good unless rebooted by Disney now that thy own everything.

Maybe Deadpool or the X-Men will show up with Aliens and Planet of the Apes and there will be an all out world challenge! (Doubtful I suppose...)
