loved the movie thought it had some brilliant bits like Rocket and Winter Soldier, such a shame that MCU already announced which characters would get another movie as would have liked it if they kept us in suspense on that.

Avengers: Infinity War is set for another milestone as it edges towards becoming the fastest film in history to reach $1bn at the global box office.
Marvel Studios' latest superhero epic enjoyed the biggest opening weekend on record following its highly anticipated release last Thursday, and since then has climbed to a total gross of $905.1m (£756m).
That figure was recorded after US cinemas closed on Thursday.
The film has made $338.4m in America, meaning that it will cross the $1bn mark on Friday or Saturday - its 10th and 11th days of release.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens holds the current record for the fastest film to $1bn, having done it in 12 days when it released just before Christmas in 2015.
JJ Abrams' blockbuster went on to become the third highest grossing film ever with $2.07bn in takings, still well behind Titanic and Avatar, which tops the chart with $2.79bn.
It remains to be seen whether Infinity War can reach such heights, but it looks certain to at least gatecrash the top five, with the huge Chinese market being made to wait until 11 May until they can see it.
Hopefully the Chinese will add another $500 million to it.

Avengers: Infinity War' Crosses $1 Billion Worldwide in Record Time

Disney and Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War continues its record pace, topping $450 million domestically in just nine days and the $1 billion mark worldwide in a record 11 days. Among the weekend's new wide releases, MGM and Lionsgate's Overboard remake delivered a solid debut in the runner-up position while Focus's Tully and Electric Entertainment's Bad Samaritan delivered disappointing debuts in the low single digits.

With an estimated $112.4 million, Disney and Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War is once again the king of the weekend box office, topping its nearest competitor by nearly $100 million, and delivering the second largest second weekend ever. The film's domestic gross now stands at $450.8 million after just ten days in release, pacing behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens which reached that mark in just nine days.

Internationally, Infinity War remained the #1 western release in every territory in which it has been released, posting an estimated $162.6 million from 54 overseas markets this weekend for a global weekend totaling $275.1 million, bringing the film's worldwide cume to a massive $1.16 billion.

The lone new major market for Infinity War this weekend was the Thursday release in Russia where it set a new opening weekend record topping the previous best posted by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, delivering an estimated $17.6 million, already exceeding the lifetime cume of Captain America: Civil War in the market. South Korea continues to lead the way internationally where the film has brought in $69.1 million followed by the UK ($67.2m), Mexico ($48.7m), Brazil ($44.3m) and India ($35.7m). The film releases in China next weekend on May 11 where, using current exchange rates, Civil War debuted with $98 million, Avengers: Age of Ultron debuted with $84 million and Black Panther debuted with $66 million.

Overall, Infinity War's 11 day run to $1 billion worldwide is the fastest of any film in history and the sixth Marvel title to reach that mark and 17th for Walt Disney Studios. A total of 34 films have crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office, see the full list here.

Yeah that's the bit that confused me too. Then again, it seems to be sticking quite well to the source material minus the licencing issues (Sony/Fox/Disney) So anyone that's read the source probably has a good idea what happens next.

I thought it was ok, however even though the film was 2 1/2 hours I felt it didn't do justice to some of the characters given their ability in their own films to save the world and beat the bad guys and didn't give them enough credit or explore what they can do as a hero themselves. I felt it a bit rushed but I guess you are time limited when you have a mass of super heroes.

Looking forward to the next one though

It has just hit the $2bn mark and took the No 4 spot for highest grossing movie of all time. Another $67 million and it will take the No 3 spot from The Force Awakens.

True, and there will be even more of it when Incredibles 2 comes out. I think it is going to clear $1bn no problem.

I went to see if for the very last time today. Technically today was the last showing but I am sure it will come back at the end of July for the school summer hols, it would be silly not to because I don't think there is anything else on apart from Incredibles 2 and Ant-man and the Wasp. At the moment it is $35 million behind Star Wars Ep7 for the No 3 spot of highest grossing film of all time.
