todd mccarthy of "the hollywood reporter" praised the writers' and directors' ability to balance the large cast of characters, saying they, "under the supervision of marvel films maestro kevin feige, acknowledge the traffic jam of egos and play it for laughs". owen gleiberman of "variety" concurred, stating, ""infinity war" is a brashly entertaining jamboree, structured to show off each hero or heroine and give them just enough to do, and to update their mythologies without making it all feel like homework". "rolling stone"s peter travers said the film is "too much of a good thing" and wrote, "the russo brothers have clearly never learned the concept that less is more. they've used the premise of an avengers reunion to put on a fireworks explosion of action and laughs that won't quit". richard roeper of the "chicago sun-times" called it marvel's "biggest and most ambitious movie yet", but concluded "it's certainly not the best. however, there's plenty of action, humor and heart—and some genuinely effective dramatic moments". roeper went on to praise the film's cast and josh brolin in particular, whom he called "the film's most interesting performance". gleiberman called brolin's motion capture performance "supremely effective" and said, "brolin infuses thanos with his slit-eyed manipulative glower, so that the evil in this movie never feels less than personal". mccarthy wrote, "brolin's calm, considered reading of the character bestows this conquering beast with an unexpectedly resonant emotional dimension, making him much more than a thick stick figure of a supervillain". mccarthy also praised the film's action sequences, saying ""infinity war" brims with tensely spectacular combat sequences, even if the question of who's going to win each one has that extravagantly arbitrary could-mighty-mouse-beat-up-superman? quality". gleiberman called the scale of the action "astonishing", and travers wrote, ""avengers: infinity war" leaves viewers up in the air, feeling exhilarated and cheated at the same time, aching for a closure that never comes". josh spiegel, also of "the hollywood reporter", said the film takes "a cue from the ending of "the empire strikes back" in its super-sized finale; this is the equivalent of han solo frozen in the carbonite, on steroids".
