Weekend cinéma FilmBooster 2018 à Boskovice. Tout d'abord, un grand merci à Martin et Adam pour avoir à nouveau organisé un rendez-vous ciné fabuleux à l'attention des cinéphiles. J'ai enfin pu voir l'un des hits de l’année, qui m’avait échappé à Prague. Tous les héros luttent contre un supervilain, peut-être le mieux foutu de tous les temps et qui, en plus, emprunte l’image et la voix de Josh Brolin. Pour moi, il n’y avait aucun temps mort et, du début à la fin, on fonçait à toute vitesse. Comme toujours, mes favoris sont les personnages des Gardiens de la Galaxie, en particulier Rocket avec sa voix et sa façon de combattre. Par ailleurs, j'ai beaucoup aimé Elizabeth Olsen et Benedict Cumberbatch. Cela dit, j’ai une sérieuse carence, car j’ai besoin de me rattraper avec des pans de l’histoire que je n’ai pas vus pour pouvoir comprendre certaines choses, ce qui me motive à regarder les œuvres concernées dès que possible.

« Motherf***er ! » On reprend une troisième fois la même formule, mais en plus long, en plus fort, avec plus de personnages (avec tout le monde, en fait) et surtout avec le meilleur antagoniste et une fin intéressante. Mais ce mastodonte ne fait pas exception à la règle et à l’instar des autres films Marvel, ne parvient pas à captiver mon attention entièrement du début à la fin (je me suis perdu dans mes pensées à certains moments). Cela dit, c’est mon Avengers préféré. L'étincelle entre un gang sérieux et les Gardiens (qui conviennent nettement mieux à enrichir un film qu'à occuper le devant de la scène), l'espace accru accordé à un Thor par ailleurs plus sérieux (sa comédie infantile Ragnarok n'était pas vraiment à mon goût) et la bande de personnages aussi nombreux que variés ne peuvent que nous satisfaire. Dix ans à entretenir cet art et ce don pour optimiser sans cesse la satisfaction et l’enthousiasme des fans, c’est un tour de force ! Marvel est un phénomène qui impose le respect.

I can't imagine how it could have been done better. The third Avengers isn't a perfect movie, of course, but with this many characters, it was clear that it couldn't be done without compromise. Fortunately, the Russos didn't make too many of them. The first half, when the film is just getting its breath for the epic mayhem, pushes a little too hard on the humour, but given that there wasn't much room for character development and some more complicated plot, it doesn't really matter that much. Something had to be going on. And then it starts to get more intense and it's something to watch, whether it's the battles between confused heroes who don't know each other, the efforts to take down Thanos, or the epic battle in Wakanda. At Disney, though, they knew that a bunch of characters with no room to properly show off and rush towards an epic finale probably wouldn't be enough, so here's Thanos. The MCU's best and most interesting villain is given more space than most heroes, and you'll be glad for it, because he's not a one-dimensional villain, and Josh Brolin as the purple titan lives up to the reputation build across several movies as a total annihilator, but he can also sell the more emotionally-charged scenes. I could have asked for more room for the characters, their relationships with each other, or some more significant emotional development, but there just wasn't room for it here. So, good for me. I don't really know what I could criticize about it in any significant way. In the context of the "make the greatest comic book film ever" brief, it couldn't have been much better.

Infinity War combines within itself several excellent (Thor’s main storyline) and a few average aspects of Marvel movies: achievement of the objective is delayed due to the fact that the protagonists repeat the same “mistake” again and again, by means of which the filmmakers incessantly and semi-pathetically tell us what the film’s central idea is, the most robust action happens basically just to cut something epic into the trailer when the directors switch to melodramatic mode (which they do much more frequently than before), some of the dialogue is pretty “cheesy”, the plot becomes more predictable over time, the postponement of the inevitable more tiresome and the narrative more monotonous ... It holds together thanks mainly to the emotionally dense revealing of negative motives, to which the turning points and the division of the narrative into three large plot segments are tied. ___ The movie strives for an uncompromising climax, but the story is not pervaded with a serious approach to nearly the same extent as in Logan’s or Nolan’s Batman films. Priority is still given to entertaining the viewers and not forcing them to think about the sense of violence or the cost of heroism/humanity. I still consider the best Marvel movie to be the second Captain America, whose stylistic purity and narrative compactness that the rather episodic Infinity War can only dream about, given how it leaves some of the characters out of the story for so long that you almost forget they are in the movie and alternates between too many styles (while quite logically not having its own distinctive style like Thor: Ragnarok or Black Panther). ___ This time, Feige and co., like Singer in the markedly more ponderous X-Men: Apocalypse, go to the limit of how many prominent characters can be crammed into a single feature film without it falling apart, while making sure that viewers who are unfamiliar with the previous eighteen films do not get completely lost and that viewers who are well acquainted with the MCU get what they want without their heads exploding. It’s hard for me to imagine where they can go next and it can b probably be considered a great success that the result is not much less consistent and that it generally has a balanced rhythm (due in large part to the rapid and humorous verbal exchanges). ___ Infinity War is not revolutionary and it contains nothing so stimulating (in terms of style, content or narrative) that I want to see it again anytime soon, but for all the money, it is unambiguously a superbly calculated blockbuster that cleverly serves the fans (starting with the entrances of the individual heroes on the scene), making its production circumstances reminiscent of the golden age of the large-scale Hollywood system (a regular stable of stars + an unchanging circle of collaborators). Furthermore, it can be unsettling for the more sensitive viewers who have become a bit attached to the Marvel superheroes over the years (I myself had a rather unpleasant feeling of helplessness and anxiety during the credits and for a moment afterwards). 80%

This movie probably has a record for most A-class actors appearing in a single blockbuster movie. But the quality fluctuates depending on who’s on the screen. Scenes with The Guardians of the Galaxy characters, Thor or young Spiderman are really amusing, and the humor quality is often even close to Thor: Ragnarok. On the other hand, Iron Man, Captain America or Black Panther are on the screen most of the time and they balance the fun out by mostly leading serious talks. Which is exactly the reason I can’t give it five stars. However, it’s probably the most action-filled comic blockbuster ever filmed. I felt like the two and a half hours were a constant action thrill ride. Something was always happening, it had a good flow and it was fun. Also, the main villain played by Josh Brolin was excellent. The ending was exemplary, they couldn’t have enticed me better to go see the sequel. I was very satisfied. But I’ll save the five-star rating for another comic book movie adaptation.
