Avengers Infinity War Review


 
***SPOILERS***

I have to spoil some things so if you have not seen the film yet then maybe wait to read this. Now that I have said that I must say that this is (in my opinion) the best super hero movie ever made. This film may even slide into my Top 5 favorite movies of all time (still debating that list).

The lead up to this film has been 10 years and 18 films in the making. Marvel studios has made some really great choices during that time and everything paid off for this film.  There could be some nitpicking stuff I could throw out there (Where’s Lady Sif? Why would Odin have a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet in his collection if it hadn’t been made yet for real? Maybe Thanos got his idea to build a gauntlet with the infinity stones from Odin?) but I’m not going to nit-pick. This film had a lot of great characters, the story was amazing, the villain was the real star of the film and he was outstanding, the ending was both shocking and heart breaking. This film had all the ingredients for a great film.

Josh Brolin as Thanos was so well cast. Thano’s motivations in some weird way made some sense and made him an interesting antagonist to watch. Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt and all the other cast members brought their A-game and delivered on so many levels. The Russo brothers (directors of the last 2 Captain America movies) did their best directorial work for this film and delivered the impossible to the world. This film is what ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ is to Star Wars fans: Simply the best.

 

5 Stars out of 5 *****
 
Can't wait for 'Ant Man & The Wasp' and 'Captain Marvel'. But it does suck having to wait for the conclusion to 'Infinity War' which will not be until May 2019.... :(
