Avengers 3

Avengers Infinity War.. Ok so there are a lot of things going on in this movie. It starts off with Thanos having already gotten the power stone, he attacks the Asgardian ship from the end of Thor 3 and kills all of it's people including Loki who brought the tesserac with him before Asgard blew up. The bifrost guy sends Hulk down to earth and Hulk tells Dr. Strange that Thanos is coming. They all tell Iron Man and then Spiderman gets involved when Thanos' goons are trying to take the time stone from Dr. Strange. Iron man and Spiderman get stuck on Thanos' ship while they have Dr. Strange.

On earth, Vision and Wanda are like dating or whatever and are wanting to become non super heros and live a normal life, but then Thanos' peeps find them and try to take the mind stone from Vision. Black Widow, CA, and Falcon come to help them and they manage to get away, but Vision is injured. They all go back to the Avengers headquarters and meet up with Banner and Rhodes and decide to go to Wakanda so that Vision can be healed since he isn't a normal human and Wakanda has advanced stuff. Vision tells Wanda to destroy the mind stone so Thanos does not get it, which would end up destroying Vision as well, but Wanda won't do it.

Then the Guardians find Thor's ship in the galaxy, and Thor hits their ship and is still alive. They bring him on board and he tells them about Thanos. They figure out that Thanos is on his way to the collector to get the aether or Reality stone and Thor wants to get a new weapon since his sister had destroyed his hammer in the previous Thor. Thor takes Rocket and Groot with him. Gamora, Drax, Quill and Mantis go to stop Thanos. Gamora tells Quill before they go that if Thanos captures her, for him to kill her. Turns out that when they get to where Thanos is, he already has the stone, takes Gamora, and when Quill finally tries to kill Gamora with his gun, Thanos uses the stone to make bubbles come out instead so that Gamora doesn't die. Since Nebula has a camera-like memory video thing since her body is mostly machine, Thanos knows that Gamora knows where the Soul Stone is, and he continues to torture Nebula until Gamora finally gives in and tells him where to find it. He takes Gamora with her and it turns out he has to kill someone he loves in order to get the stone, a soul for a soul. Gamora laughs because she doesn't think he loves anyone, but he ends up throwing her off the cliff and killing her in order to get the stone. Nebula also escapes and finds the rest of the Guardians. So now he has the Power Stone, the Reality Stone, the tesseract stone and the Soul Stone.

Back to Iron Man.. he and Spiderman are able to get Dr. Strange out after being captured and they land on another planet where they meet up with Nebula, Quill, Drax and Mantis. Thanos ends up coming to the same planet and finally gets the Time Stone. They all try hard to get the gauntlet off of Thanos, but they fail and he disappears off to earth.

Back on earth the rest of the avengers are in Wakanda trying to help Vision to heal. He has the last stone that Thanos needs. He comes to Wakanda with all his troops and then there's a big battle. Black Panther's sister is trying to help Vision, and Wanda leaves Vision's side to help with the battle. Vision ends up going to the battle too after Thanos' people find where he is. He tells Wanda to destroy the stone before Thanos can get to him, and she finally decides to do it knowing it will kill Vision. She destroys it killing Vision before Thanos can get to it, but because he has already gotten the time stone, he reverses time and pulls the stone from Visions head. Finally having collected all the stones, he snaps his figures and half the population dies.


If you've got through all that.. here's my opinion on it.. I did not like that the Avengers were never completely together the entire movie. I thought Thor's story of going to find a new weapon to destroy Thanos was so boring. I don't really like that there were so many different stories going on. And I don't like how Thanos collected all the stones in like ten minutes when he's been trying to get the stones for years.. However.. I did like the movie overall. I like that Quill and Wanda were willing to sacrifice the people they loved to save millions of others. I like the big battle at Wakanda and when Thor comes to help. And I like how sad it is at the ends when everyone just disappears and it's so sad..

Thor 3

I think Thor is my favorite of the Avengers. It used to be Guardians of the Galaxy, but I think after how bad that second movie was I just realized how much more I love Thor. Not just the movies, but his character. He's funny, and when he comes to fight you feel like ok cool, Thor's here they're gonna win this now. Anyway, this movie is the best Thor movie of the three; it's also I think one of the funniest Marvel movies after the first Guardians.

The story is that the prophecy of Ragnarok is actually happening... that Asgard is going to be destroyed completely and that he has to be the one to save it. So Loki sent his father to a nursing home on earth, put him in exile and then pretended to be the king by using his magic to disguise himself as King Odin. When Thor hears about Ragnarok, he goes back to Asgard to see how things are going and discovers what Loki has done. They go to earth to find their dad and when they finally find him, he dies. But turns out that they actually have an older sister Hela, who was banished by the king, and because the king is dying, her banishment is over and now the kingdom is actually hers because she is the oldest child. Also turns out that she was the kings executioner way before Thor and Loki came along, and she was the one who helped the king get Asgard the way it was, but that her evilness became too much for the king that he banished her. Anyway, so she meets Loki and Thor on earth and is trying to get back to Asgard because when she gets there all of her powers will be restored and she'll be stronger than them all. Loki calls to be transported back through the bifrost and she gets in there with them and punches them out of being transported. Loki and Thor both get sent to this planet, separately, which I'll call the Lost planet because all the people who are lost get there. While on the Lost planet, Thor gets captured and is sent to fight in this event by the Grandmaster called the Contest of Champions where he finds out that he has to fight the Hulk. After they battle they end up together in Hulk's room, and the girl who captured Thor comes by and Thor finds out that she is Asgardian. Anyway, he ends up persuading her and the Hulk who then becomes Banner to steal a ship and go to Asgard. Oh, Loki is also on the planet but he has gotten there a few weeks before Thor and became in good standing with the Grandmaster. Loki helps Thor get to the ship, but then tries to betray him to get captured so that he can get money, but Thor already knows how Loki is and gets away.

They get to Asgard and find out that Hela is basically killing everyone who will not follow and obey her, but that most of the Asgardians are being protected by Hiemdall, the all-seeing guy who used to be in charge of the bifrost. Thor gets there to fight Hela, but she is too powerful. Loki ends up showing up with a huge ship and he gets all the Asgardians on the ship. Thor ends up figuring out that he can't actually stop Ragnarok from happening, that he has to let it happen and Asgard has to be destroyed so that Hela can also be destroyed, but since all of the people are on the ship, Asgard will be again just in a different place. Anyway, they all get away on the ship and Asgard is blown to pieces along with Hela.

I really love this movie. It's a lot darker than the first Guardians, but it's pretty much just as funny, and it's a great story, and of course Loki is in it and you just never know about him. I don't know why I love Loki's character so much, but he's definitely one of my favorite. The whole first half of this movie is just so fun. This is tied for first with Guardians.

Spider-Man

I really like that this Spiderman movie starts out with him already Spiderman and already having been in the Avengers movie, it's just a continuation of that. I'm glad it wasn't another origin movie where it's the story of him being bit by a spider and then having his Uncle Ben die and all that all over again because we've already seen it too many times. It starts off with him like recording himself during the Avengers fight when he was recruited by Tony Stark. Then Happy leaves him back at home with pretty much no contact. All Spiderman wants to do is be part of the Avengers again and fight the bad people, but he's stuck just doing little things around his neighborhood. Well then he finds out that there are these people with these big electric type weapons and he starts going after these guys. He tells Happy about it, but Happy doesn't pay him any attention so Spiderman continues to work on it alone. He ends up breaking into the suit Stark gave him, taking off all the child protections and ends up almost killing a lot of people on a ferry, but Iron Man comes and saves them all and ends up taking the suit away from Spiderman. He tells him to let it go about these bad guys, but it turns out that the leader of the bad guys is his crush's dad, and when Spiderman takes the girl to homecoming dance or whatever, the dad figures out that he's Spiderman. Spiderman realizes that the bad guy is going to hijack the plane with all of the Avenger equipment on board and decides that if no one is going to help him or listen to him, he's going to stop him on his own... and he does. Tony is impressed with him and decides to make him part of the Avengers team, give him his own room in the headquarters, and have a press conference with him in a new suit, but he turns it down and decides to stay with his aunt back in New York.

This is a fun movie.. like I said, I like that it's not that same story as all the other Spiderman movies. I think the actor is a good Spiderman.. good jokes, and good funny moments, like that time he goes to interrogate one of the bad guys so he can find out who the leader is and he just doesn't do a good job at it. I don't like how awkward and weird the kids act around each other, but I guess that's how it's supposed to be because they like each other or whatever. But overall, it is a good movie..

Guardians of the Galaxy 2

This is a very disappointing sequel to such a good movie. Guardians 1 is my favorite of the Marvel movies so far, and this one is just so dumb. Basically, Quill finally meets his father after all these years. His father is a god who went down to Earth and found his mom, so Quill is half human half god. Quill goes to his father's planet Ego, which is his father basically, like his father is the planet and the body and the plants and whatever. He finds out that he is also a god and that the both of them together can take over every planet and everything in the galaxy and it will all become the two of them and nothing else will exist. Turns out that Ego has actually mated with hundreds of other beings, but Quill is the only one who had god in his blood. Ego had to kill all of his other children. Yondu was the one that was sent and paid to bring Ego all of his other children to him, but when Yondu found out what was happening, he kept Quill to himself so that he wouldn't be harmed by his father. Yondu told Quill that the reason he kept him was because he could fit into small places so that he could steal things easily, but it was really because he didn't want to take him back to his father. The guardians have to destroy the brain of Ego which is in the middle of the planet, and when they finally do, Yondu is there to save Quill and ends up dying for him. He says something like, he may have been your father, but he wasn't your daddy, because Yondu is the one that took care of Quill is whole life.

It's a very simple story, like the whole first hour is pointless to the main plot of the movie. It's not as fun as the first one that is for sure. I think it's because I'm pregnant, but the ending did make me sad when you realize that Yondu was always there to protect Quill and ends up dying for him. There's not much else I really liked about the movie. Drax wasn't even that funny.

Doctor Strange

I think this may be my least favorite character of the Marvel series. Him and Hulk, although I do like Banner the human. Anyway, so this story is how Dr. Strange was an arrogant doctor/surgeon who then lost his ability to do surgeries anymore after his car wreck that damaged his hands. He found out of a man who was paralyzed but was able to walk again, so he sought him out and asked him where he was able to be healed. The guy told him of the place Kamar-Taj and Dr. Strange went there. He found that it was like all about the mind and not about medicine, so he rejected it at first but then saw what they could do and wanted to learn. So I guess because he's a doctor he can learn quickly, so he learned a lot really fast and became really good at it. Then the main story begins. This guy who was trained by the Ancient One found out about the Dark Power or something like that, and he knew that the Ancient One used the Dark Power but told them not to use it ever, so he didn't like that and went to the dark side I guess. So these dark people are wanted the Dark Power to take over the entire earth. There are four sanctums around the world that they have to destroy or take over so that the Dark Power can come from all of them. Well, Dr. Strange is forced into one sanctum, and that protector is destroyed so the Ancient One wants to name him the new protector, but he doesn't want that responsibility, he really just wanted to be healed and go back to being a surgeon. Anyway, Dr. Strange ends up taking the Time Infinity Stone out of curiosity, but ends up using it, which is apparently against what they all believe in because it alters things that are meant to be or something like that. So he goes back in time before all the sanctums are destroyed and he stops the Dark Power guy from actually taking over the earth. His fellow fighter with him ends up leaving his side in the end because he did not like that the Ancient One used dark power and he didn't like that Dr. Strange used the time stone and went against what they believe in.

So now we have five infinity stones:

1. The tesserac which is secure on Asgard
2. The aether which is secure with the collection guy in Guardians
3. The power stone which is secure on Xandar in Guardians.
4. The mind stone in Vision's head
5. The time stone secure in Kamar-Taj

I don't really like this story. It's not my favorite. The movie is fun enough, easy to follow, has some humor, but it's the movie I don't care to watch again. Maybe I don't like Cumberbatch as the actor. I don't know what it is, but I just don't care for it all that much. Maybe I'll like him when I watch him in the Avengers movies later because I don't really remember him in them, but we'll see. 

Captain America 3 / Avengers 2.5

Captain America: Civil War. So this one isn't really a Captain America movie since basically all the Avengers are in it except for Thor and Hulk. They even brought in Ant Man, Spiderman and Black Panther. This is one of those really good movies but not an easy story to follow. I feel like when they reveal the big mystery at the end of the movie, I miss out on so much throughout the movie because you just kind of don't really know what's happening so it's hard to make sense of all of it.

Anyway, so where we left off, Captain America and Falcon are still pretty much searching for the Winter Soldier. This story starts with the Avengers trying to get a bomb from Hydra, they catch the people but Wanda misuses her powers and moves the bomb and it blows up a building where there were people. So the government feels that the problems pretty much follow the Avengers and that they need to be in check, which means that the Avengers will be employed by government and only used when they are sent on a mission instead of them fighting missions that haven't been assigned. Half the Avengers agree to it including Iron Man, and the other half feel like if they need to do something to protect the world and the government doesn't assign it then they can't do what needs to get done, and this side includes Captain America. When Black Widow goes to Wakanda to sign the accords (which is basically the agreement that they will only fight when needed) the building is blown up and the Wakanda king dies. There are pictures saying that it was the Winter Soldier (Buckey) who did it so CA goes after him to see if he can protect him since they are friends when they were young. So there's a big fight and Buckey gets captured. While captured this guy is in the room with him who is supposedly part of SHIELD I guess, but is actually a bad guy and he says these words that turns Buckey back into the Winter Soldier. He escapes and is found again by CA and Falcon and Buckey is back and tells them that there are more Winter Soldiers and that the bad guy is probably after them so they need to stop him. They head out to do so, but then there's another big fight between the two sides of all the Avengers. Iron Man, Iron Patriot, Black Widow, Black Panther, Spiderman, and Vision against CA, Falcon, Winter Soldier, Ant Man, Hawk Eye, and Wanda. Anyway, (gah this is a long story) CA and the Winter Soldier finally escape and head to the place where there are other Winter Soldiers. Iron Man secretly follows them and finally admits that he was wrong and that he's there on CA's side. The bad guy is there but he has killed all the other Winter Soldiers instead of waking the up and using them (because they were frozen for years). Turns out the bad guy is the one who was disguised as Buckey when the Wakanda building was blown up killing the king, he was also in Sokovia when the Avengers and Ultron were battling and the flying island killed his entire family, so basically his mission was that he wanted the Avengers to fall apart and hate each other because they destroyed his family. He shows a video of the Winter Soldier murdering Iron Man's parents, and CA is on Buckey's side because he didn't know what he was doing when he was Winter Soldier, but Iron Man doesn't care. So they all battle each other. Black Panther captures the bad guy and brings him back to SHIELD and basically the Avengers on all split up at the moment.

Whew! So... great story, great movie, super long, and frustrating because you really don't know what side you want to agree with. I mean, you understand CA that he would back up Buckey because when he's Winter Soldier his mind isn't right and he's under Hydra's influence and doesn't know what he's doing, and now he's Buckey so he shouldn't really be punished for it, but then you understand Iron Man because you just don't care who he was at the time, he as a person that killed your parents and there's no understanding or forgiving of that. Don't really know why it's a Captain America movie, but who cares. I love that Spiderman gets into it and Ant Man. It's just overall really great when you understand what's going on.

Ant Man

You know.. Marvel movies are either really fun and childish, or they are really in depth and complicated. Ant Man is definitely the first one and I love it. So Scott is an ex-con who went to jail because he broke into I think his old bosses house who was like taking advantage of people, stole his money and gave it back to the people he was taking it from. He gets out of jail and tries to find a job, but it's hard because he's an ex-con. He doesn't want to go back to a life of crime with his friends because he wants to be there for his daughter, but it's hard when he can't find a job to pay the child support that he owes. So he goes back to do a job with his friends... which is to open a safe in this like mansion. They break in and find out that there is nothing in the safe except for this weird suit. He takes the suit and tries it on, and after he finds out what it does he doesn't want it anymore and tries to take it back, but then the cops show up and he goes back to jail. So the creator of the suit Hank brings it back to him and tells him he needs him to do a job. Scott's ex wife's new husband is actually a cop who keeps searching for him after he escapes. 

Hank is the creator of the suit and he has a daughter Hope and a protege Cross. Cross is resentful towards Hank because Hank started to cut him off and not tell him everything, so Cross wanted to figure out what Hank was hiding. Turns out that it was about this suit, and Cross discovers a way to create his own. Hank needs Scott to break into the company and steal the suit and destroy the research that Cross has created because he will use it to do bad things and sell it to Hydra. So Scott is trained by Hope and Hank to learn how to use the suit and how to control all the ants to work for him. Scott uses his buddies to help him complete the mission. And that's basically the whole story. Scott fights Cross in his suit and defeats him by going subatomic, which is how Hank lost his wife, but somehow Scott makes it back and leaves Hank hopeful for his wife again. The new husband drops all of Scott's charges and he is able to see his daughter again. 

My favorite part of the movie is definitely Scott's friend who talks a lot and doesn't know how to tell a story. He's super funny. The whole movie is just super fun to watch. I think it may be my second favorite after Guardians. It's just a very straightforward story and I love Paul Rudd.
