Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is the ultimate culmination of everything that has happened in UglyDolls, all coming together to this one movie, which properly rewards the viewer for watching UglyDolls.
 * 2) The film included every single one of the UglyDolls. The movie manages to properly balance the screen-time every UglyDoll gets without coming off as over-bloated by having the UglyDolls separated into different groups through out the movie.
 * 3) It is also the 18th year anniversary celebration for the UglyDolls.
 * 4) Phenomenal fight scenes. They're high speed, high stakes, action packed, and even make clever usage of all the individual characters' unique abilities.
 * 5) Excellent special effects.
 * 6) Incredible soundtrack, composed by Jake Paul.
 * 7) Lots of well-written drama involving lots of different characters, even Moxos.
 * 8) Amazing pacing that's not too fast and not too slow. Everything flows perfectly.
 * 9) It addresses some of the general criticisms that any other superhero films (including that one garbage film known as Infinity War) keep getting:
 * 10) *Formulaic plots: It follows a very different structure from other Marvel movies as the plot follows the different UglyDoll groups while the narrative is driven by Moxos' actions.
 * 11) *Forgettable villains: Moxos is a very threatening villain, one of the few truly fantastic villains and debatably the best of them. Her goal actually makes sense if you think about it and, despite not being very likeable, she isn't completely despicable either.
 * 12) *No stakes for the heroes: Moxos' menacing presence makes it genuinely hard to know if the UglyDolls will win or not and there are several permanent deaths.
 * 13) The post-credits scene is an excellent tease for the spin-off Captain Wage and his solo film.
 * 14) Spectacular acting by every single actor and actress in the film, especially Kelly Clarkson as Maxos.
 * 15) Like many of the other films, this one manages to perfectly blend together drama and character moments with comedy.
 * 16) Very suspenseful moments where it seems like very important characters are about to die.
 * 17) The ending is fantastic. It's emotional, shocking and has an intense unexpected cliffhanger that actually works.
 * 18) It is arguably one of the darkest animated movies to date, yet it doesn't forget to have humor and positivity that doesn't feel forced unlike many previous animated movies that tried too hard to be dark & gritty.
 * 19) Lucas Grabeel has a cameo as Pinky Malinky, the hot-dog who forges Ox's new hammer, Stormbreaker.
 * 20) There's a very strong theme through out the movie: "Is it worth sacrificing lives for the greater good? And if so, how many lives are you willing to sacrifice?"
 * 21) Hilarious moments where Babo makes a Squidward joke at the beginning and where Ugly-Dog gives the Middle-Finger.
 * 22) Moxos wins.  While there have been other villains that were partially successful in their schemes before, Thanos is the first one who outright defeats the UglyDolls.
 * 23) JJ Jameson makes an appearance after Pinky Malinky.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Lucky Bat, who was featured in many posters and trailers, was only in the movie for a few scenes, but that doesn't affect the film's quality.

Reception
UglyDolls: Infinity War currently has a 100% critic rating and a 100% audience rating, certified fresh for both, on Rotten Tomatoes. It has an overall 10/10 rating on IMDB. It has an overall rating of 10/10 on Letterboxd.

Critics and audiences praised the movie for how it balanced such a large amount of characters from UglyDolls, the portrayal of the villain Moxos, the intensity of action scenes, and the surprisingly dark ending which is completely unexpected for an UglyDoll movie. Some people would even call it the best UglyDoll film yet.

The movie has broken multiple Box Office records, including #1 movie opening of all time. It recently became the fourth film to ever cross the $2 billion mark, and it is the first animated film and summer-released film to do so.

 * 8) The movie begins and ends with quiet, intimate moments.
 * 9) Tommy Wiseau plays a major role once again after six years.
 * 10) Good characterization for each of the original six UglyDolls and the others like Ox and Lucky Bat, and each of them get their own time to shine. Wage in particular is accurate to the first film in the way he is portrayed.
 * 11) Every single hero in the trilogy gets their time to shine, whether brief or important.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The movie has fun with its 2010s setting, taking subtle jabs at aspects of the 2010s culture such as fidget spinners, Fortnite, dabbing, The Emoji Movie, among others.
 * 2) On that topic, it has a great soundtrack consisting mostly of 2010 pop songs like Hit or Miss by Mia Khalifa and Litmas by Jake Paul.
 * 3) The original soundtrack is also very solid, having an epic outerwordly tone to it.
 * 4) David Horvath (the creator of UglyDolls) makes a cameo.
 * 5) Amazing visuals on Mandy.
 * 6) Wang Leehom makes a very strong performance as Lucky Bat, giving insight to why he's so devoted to finding individuals with supernatural powers to be Earth's protectors.
 * 7) * The de-aging CGI used for Lucky Bat is very effective.
 * 8) Characters from the UglyDolls movies such as Kelly Clarkson and Pitbull make a guest appearance.
 * 9) The Perfection dolls are very interesting characters, especially Janelle Monae's Mandy and their characterization fits the first UglyDolls movie. It also marks the first time an element from the UglyDolls movies was done well in film while being relevant to the plot. The twist of the Perfection dolls not being evil but rather refugees trying to hide from the Lou imperialism is also effective, as it subverts the stereotype dolls being the bad guys.
 * 10) As a callback to the first UglyDolls movie, Tuesday once again takes the role of supporting allies.
 * 11) Has some nice nods to the Gauntlet in the first film. It also shows more of the Lou empire, which prior to this movie had appeared occasionally as minor antagonists in other UglyDolls films.
 * 12) Ox is memorable and often steals the show.
 * 13) Similar to Brianna Denski in Wonder Park, Tommy Wiseau appears as a secondary character but this time as a child, which is a nice way to reference an important character in the comics.
