PAGE 19 THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2018 THE HERALD Entertainment: Weekend “There’s an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?” — One of the many chuckle-inducing moments in “Avengers: Infinity War” in which even the characters are having trouble keeping track of all the characters. Before you settle in for the massively enjoyable and just plain massive candy-colored thrill ride adventure that is “Avengers: Infin- ity War,” keep in mind this is part one of a two-part adventure. So don’t expect anything approach- ing a resolution in this, the 19th film in the Marvel Universe. Not that we’re ever going to see Full Marvel Closure in our lifetimes. There’s always another story to tell, another adventure to be had, another character to take center stage, as we’re reminded in the teaser scene(s) that pop up after the obligatory 10-minute end credits crawl. “Infinity War” might be the biggest and most ambitious Mar- vel movie yet, but it’s certainly not the best. (I’d put it somewhere in the bottom half of the Top 10.) However, there’s plenty of action, humor and heart, and some genu- inely effective dramatic moments in which familiar and beloved characters experience real, seem- ingly irreversible losses. One of the elements setting “Infinity War” apart from far too many superhero movies is the in- troduction of a villain who’s more than just another fire-breathing, multi-tongued monster-god hell- bent on destroying everything in its way while mouthing platitudes through some kind of filter that makes him sound like he watched “Star Wars” a thousand times and was always rooting for Darth Vader. To be sure, the gigantic, all- powerful, merciless Thanos (voiced and depicted by Josh Brolin in perhaps the film’s most interesting performance) is a genocidal maniac who does want control of all living things, but according to his twisted and de- mented and damaged mindset, if he can arbitrarily remove half the population through a snap of his mighty fingers, he’ll actually be saving the universe by thinning out the population to a manage- able number. “The universe is in need of a correction,” is the way Thanos puts it. Also, Thanos is actually capable of love — and of making a heart- breaking sacrifice in the name of what he believes to be a greater good. Rarely has the seemingly un- stoppable evil force in a comic-book superhero film been given such a richly dramatic background, and so many scenes in which there’s actual dialogue and not just CGI- laden battle sequences. In order to carry out a plan that will eliminate trillions of lives from the galaxies, Thanos needs to obtain all six of the brightly colored Infinity Stones, which are scattered among the planets. (Each time Thanos gains control of a stone, he drops it into place on the fingers of his enormous glove. That’s right: Thanos is bedazzling the heck out of that big armor glove thingy.) When Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk (last seen in “Thor: Ragnorak”) returns to Earth af- ter an extended absence to warn his fellow Avengers of the com- ing storm, Tony Stark tells him they’ve broken up and aren’t even in touch anymore. “Broken up?” says the baffled Banner. “Like a group? Like the Beatles?” Yes, Bruce. Like the Beatles. Once the severity of the crisis is evident, most of the feuds and squabbles and self-interests are set aside, with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Spider-Man (Tom Hol- land), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Black Widow (Scarlett Jo- hansson), among others, teaming up to save not only the world, but the universe. “Infinity War” kicks into a particularly exhilarating gear when the action shifts to Wakan- da, where Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther gathers his armies and joins the fight; the genius Dr. Bruce Banner is stunned by the amazing mind of Shuri (Letitia Wright), and the great warrior Okoye (Danai Gurira) gets one look at the powers of the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in battle and exclaims, “What was she do- ing (back in the lab) all this time”! Ah, but of course this is more than a mere Avengers All-Star movie, as we also have the very welcome presence of the Guard- ians of the Galaxy, who provide most of the comic relief (along with a few moving dramatic touches). When the mighty and stunningly handsome Thor liter- ally crash-lands on the windshield of their ship, Drax (the always lik- able Dave Bautista Jr.) marvels at this god: “It’s as if an angel and a pirate had a baby,” as Gamora (Zoe Saldana) literally massages Thor’s muscles, apparently in an attempt to revive him, while Star- Lord (Chris Pratt) stews. Thor takes a liking to Rocket (Bradley Cooper), whom he calls “The Rabbit,” and he innocently calls the rest of the Guardians “morons” because he thinks that’s what they call themselves. Oh geez, and we’ve yet to men- tion the presence of the fantas- tic Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange, Sebastian Stan as the un-brainwashed White Wolf, Tom Hiddleston’s ever-duplicitous Loki, Idris Elba’s Heimdall, Beni- cio del Toro’s The Collector, and Peter Dinklage in a role sure to delight anyone who loves Peter Dinklage, and who in the world doesn’t love Peter Dinklage? At times it’s nearly impossible to keep track of all the Guard- ians and Avengers who are band- ing together on Earth and on far- flung planets such as Knowhere and Titan. “Infinity War” has just enough self-awareness without becoming too jokey or winking at the audience. When Spider-Man rescues a number of the Guard- ians and says, “I got you, I got you, I got you! I’m sorry I haven’t learned everyone’s names!” it’s just the right light comedic touch at just the right moment. The final moments of “Infinity War” are haunting and impact- ful and mysterious, taking us to a nearly hopeless place, but of course leaving the door open for a bigger and possibly even more ambitious second chapter. And yes, you should stick around for the end credits, and a hint of what’s to come.

THE HERALDEntertainment: Weekend

“There’s an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?” — One of the many chuckle-inducing moments in “Avengers: Infi nity War” in which even the characters are having trouble keeping track of all the characters.

Before you settle in for the massively enjoyable and just plain massive candy-colored thrill ride adventure that is “Avengers: Infi n-ity War,” keep in mind this is part one of a two-part adventure. So don’t expect anything approach-ing a resolution in this, the 19th fi lm in the Marvel Universe.

Not that we’re ever going to see Full Marvel Closure in our lifetimes. There’s always another story to tell, another adventure to be had, another character to take center stage, as we’re reminded in the teaser scene(s) that pop up after the obligatory 10-minute end credits crawl.

“Infi nity War” might be the biggest and most ambitious Mar-vel movie yet, but it’s certainly not the best. (I’d put it somewhere in the bottom half of the Top 10.) However, there’s plenty of action, humor and heart, and some genu-inely e� ective dramatic moments in which familiar and beloved characters experience real, seem-ingly irreversible losses.

One of the elements setting “Infi nity War” apart from far too

many superhero movies is the in-troduction of a villain who’s more than just another fi re-breathing, multi-tongued monster-god hell-bent on destroying everything in its way while mouthing platitudes through some kind of fi lter that makes him sound like he watched “Star Wars” a thousand times and was always rooting for Darth Vader.

To be sure, the gigantic, all-powerful, merciless Thanos (voiced and depicted by Josh Brolin in perhaps the fi lm’s most interesting performance) is a genocidal maniac who does want control of all living things, but according to his twisted and de-mented and damaged mindset, if he can arbitrarily remove half the population through a snap of his mighty fi ngers, he’ll actually be saving the universe by thinning out the population to a manage-able number.

“The universe is in need of a correction,” is the way Thanos puts it.

Also, Thanos is actually capable of love — and of making a heart-breaking sacrifi ce in the name of what he believes to be a greater good. Rarely has the seemingly un-stoppable evil force in a comic-book superhero fi lm been given such a richly dramatic background, and so many scenes in which there’s actual dialogue and not just CGI-laden battle sequences.

In order to carry out a plan that

will eliminate trillions of lives from the galaxies, Thanos needs to obtain all six of the brightly colored Infi nity Stones, which are scattered among the planets. (Each time Thanos gains control of a stone, he drops it into place on the fi ngers of his enormous glove. That’s right: Thanos is bedazzling the heck out of that big armor glove thingy.)

When Mark Ru� alo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk (last seen in “Thor: Ragnorak”) returns to Earth af-ter an extended absence to warn his fellow Avengers of the com-ing storm, Tony Stark tells him they’ve broken up and aren’t even in touch anymore.

“Broken up?” says the ba� ed Banner. “Like a group? Like the Beatles?”

Yes, Bruce. Like the Beatles.Once the severity of the crisis

is evident, most of the feuds and squabbles and self-interests are

set aside, with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Spider-Man (Tom Hol-land), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Black Widow (Scarlett Jo-hansson), among others, teaming up to save not only the world, but the universe.

“Infi nity War” kicks into a particularly exhilarating gear when the action shifts to Wakan-da, where Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther gathers his armies and joins the fi ght; the genius Dr. Bruce Banner is stunned by the amazing mind of Shuri (Letitia Wright), and the great warrior Okoye (Danai Gurira) gets one look at the powers of the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in battle and exclaims, “What was she do-ing (back in the lab) all this time”!

Ah, but of course this is more than a mere Avengers All-Star movie, as we also have the very welcome presence of the Guard-ians of the Galaxy, who provide most of the comic relief (along with a few moving dramatic touches). When the mighty and stunningly handsome Thor liter-ally crash-lands on the windshield of their ship, Drax (the always lik-able Dave Bautista Jr.) marvels at this god: “It’s as if an angel and a pirate had a baby,” as Gamora (Zoe Saldana) literally massages Thor’s muscles, apparently in an attempt to revive him, while Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) stews.

Thor takes a liking to Rocket (Bradley Cooper), whom he calls

“The Rabbit,” and he innocently calls the rest of the Guardians “morons” because he thinks that’s what they call themselves.

Oh geez, and we’ve yet to men-tion the presence of the fantas-tic Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange, Sebastian Stan as the un-brainwashed White Wolf, Tom Hiddleston’s ever-duplicitous Loki, Idris Elba’s Heimdall, Beni-cio del Toro’s The Collector, and Peter Dinklage in a role sure to delight anyone who loves Peter Dinklage, and who in the world doesn’t love Peter Dinklage?

all times are eastern unless otherwise noted.

Current cinemaNew releasesavengers: Infinity War ½ This massively enjoyable and just plain massive candy-colored thrill ride adventure brings the avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy together to help hold off a villain with a richly dramatic background and actual dialogue. it’s the biggest and most ambitious marvel movie yet, but it’s not the best. (sci-fi action, pG-13, 2 hrs. 36 min.)

Currently playingI Feel pretty (Jasper 8 Theatres) a blow to the head deludes a cosmetics company staffer (amy schumer) into thinking she’s supermodel beautiful, enhancing her confidence. schumer is clearly in her comfort zone and she eventually wins us over in this uneven, hit-and-miss, broad comedy, but here’s hoping the next time around, she tries something new. (Comedy, pG-13, 1 hr. 47 min.)

a Quiet place (Jasper 8 Theatres) John krasinski is the director, co-writer and co-star (with his wife, emily Blunt) of this neatly spun and well-crafted thriller about a family that must maintain complete silence to avoid stirring deadly monsters. That’s a pretty nifty setup to keep the tension going from moment to moment. (horror, pG-13, 1 hr. 30 min.)

rampage ½ “rampage” is a drag. Three times during the thing, i wrote down the phrase “no fun,” with increasingly impatient underlines. This could be me, not the movie. maybe i’m the one who’s no fun. But in general i like dwayne Johnson, that smiling granite star, coupled with a tremendous amount of vehicular- or tsunami-based destruction. For all its cheese, “san andreas” (2015), Johnson’s previous collaboration with director Brad peyton, was pretty diverting, thanks in part to Carla Gugino and alexandra daddario sprinting through the disaster picture, creating the effect of “earthquake? what earthquake? There was an earthquake?” But “rampage” is all pain and no gain. its massive, “genetically edited” creatures include a 30-foot flying wolf and a very long crocodile with porcupine accessories, both purely malevolent, and in excruciating pain for large chunks of the movie. primarily the film offers the incredible expanding silverback gorilla, George, friend and colleague of the san diego primatologist played by Johnson. he also suffers throughout. This is a movie about suffering. (pG-13, 1 hr. 47 min.)

Super troopers 2 (Jasper 8 Theatres) in this sequel, 17 years after the original, the hapless lawmen patrol a piece of Quebec newly transferred to america. while there’s something kind of endearing about the disjointed chaos behind the comedy, there are simply too many dead spots and cheap jokes and flat gags to carry a full-length feature. (Comedy, r, 1 hr. 40 min.)

On dVd12 Strong Chris hemsworth plays the leader of the real-life u.s. special Forces team that helped take out key Taliban and al-Qaida strongholds in afghanistan after 9/11. But with a running time of two hours and 10 minutes, the action-packed but cliche-riddled adventure has at least 20 minutes of scenes that are either unnecessary or repetitive. (war action, r, 2 hrs. 10 min., 2018)
