Thanos, played by Josh Brolin, is a genocidal maniac who wants control of all living things in Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War.” The film is showing at Jasper 8 Theatres.

Villain top performer in Marvel mashup RICHARD ROEPER

“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: Infinity War,” keep in mind this is part one of a two-part adventure. So don’t expect anything approaching 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 Marvel 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 genuinely effective dramatic moments in which familiar and beloved characters experience real, seemingly irreversible losses. One of the elements setting “Infinity War” apart from far too

many superhero movies is the introduction of a villain who’s more than just another fire-breathing, multi-tongued monster-god hellbent 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, allpowerful, 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 demented 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 manageable 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 heartbreaking sacrifice in the name of what he believes to be a greater good. Rarely has the seemingly unstoppable 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 CGIladen battle sequences. In order to carry out a plan that

Avengers: Infinity War ½ Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Pratt, Josh Brolin Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, language and some crude references. 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 after an extended absence to warn his fellow Avengers of the coming 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 Holland), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), 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 Wakanda, 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 doing (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 Guardians of the Galaxy, who provide most of the comic relief (along with a few moving dramatic touches). When the mighty and stunningly handsome Thor literally crash-lands on the windshield of their ship, Drax (the always likable 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 StarLord (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 mention the presence of the fantastic Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange, Sebastian Stan as the un-brainwashed White Wolf, Tom Hiddleston’s ever-duplicitous Loki, Idris Elba’s Heimdall, Benicio 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 Guardians and Avengers who are banding together on Earth and on farflung 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 Guardians 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 impactful 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.

Netflix-loving tykes are tuning out Nickelodeon By LUCAS SHAW WP News Service Kids like Caleb Moushey are killing cable TV. Not that Caleb knows much about cable. After all, he’s 7 years old. But Caleb rarely if ever watches conventional television. “Everything is Netflix,” said his mother, Ally Brown, an insurance agent in the St. Louis area who also has a 5-year-old and a baby on the way. More and more kids are like Caleb. The cable networks for

children, in decline for years, are now in a free fall. This season’s ratings for the 2-to-11 set are shaping up to be the worst yet. And few in the industry predict a turnaround. The implications are enormous for giants like Viacom and Walt Disney. Viewership of the three most-popular networks for the very young — Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel and the Cartoon Network — is down more than 20 percent this season from a year earlier, according to data from Nielsen. It’s a low point in a long-run-

ning trend as Netflix, YouTube and other streaming services have taken off. Media companies still make money from children’s TV, with the most-watched cartoons spawning toy brands and licensing deals that can generate millions of dollars. So “the traditional brands are stuck in a tough position,” said Birk Rawlings, who left Nickelodeon to run DreamWorksTV, a YouTube channel for children. “They can see what is changing, but to embrace what’s new they must run away from a healthy

business.” Rawlings was vice president of animation at Nickelodeon when its parent company, Viacom, committed what many in the industry consider the original sin: It licensed many of its kids shows in a package to Netflix in 2010. That arrangement allowed Netflix to lure customers with Nick’s biggest hits, including “SpongeBob SquarePants.” At the time, Netflix had fewer than 20 million subscribers. Now, it has 125 million. Nickelodeon considers a show a hit if it draws

2 million or so viewers. Meanwhile, the amount of time that the youngest watchers spent viewing conventional TV fell 30 percent between 2010 and 2017. And U.S. advertising sales for kids’ networks haven’t grown for five years, having plateaued at about $1.2 billion annually. Disney and Nickelodeon declined to make executives available for interviews for this story. Netflix is ramping up the competition further by bringing more youth-oriented production in-house.

New Releases Avengers: 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 playing I 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, hitand-miss, broad comedy, but here’s hoping the next time around, she tries something new. (Comedy, PG13, 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 DVD 12 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 actionpacked but cliche-riddled adventure has at least 20 minutes of scenes that are either unnecessary or repetitive.
