I watched this. Surprisingly entertaining. The Guardians of the Galaxy made this film possible. It couldn't have been done without them and they had the funniest parts. Some of the other lesser characters should have been left out, though, like Spiderman for example. He is terrible.
The ending was weak, though. No resolution. But yeah, Thanos is basically the same villain as the latest Da Vinci Code film, Inferno, wanting to control population.

Of course there will be another film, it's the Marvel universe. But it's not like it says "Part 1," so there's no indication that this shouldn't be at least a somewhat self-contained film. So my criticism still stands.
But regardless it actually was a surprisingly entertaining film and did deliver on some promises they've been building up with. Even if the film is a little bloated with unnecessary characters, it does a surprisingly good job juggling them all and at a 2.5 hour runtime it never drags. Much of the film's humor landed very well (thanks largely to the Guardians of the Galaxy).
And although I actually thought the part with Bruce Banner trying (and failing) to turn into Hulk was pretty funny, it would have been nice to see more of actual Hulk. The mediocre CGI battle at the beginning of the movie wasn't good enough. But no doubt there will be some pay-off with that later on.

Either way it's a stupid criticism and no you need the movie itself to actually say "Part 1" unless of course you're too stupid to work all that out.
