Infinity War needs to be seen to be believed!

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2018)

Avengers: Infinity War is finally here after much anticipation and it features an ensemble cast of nearly every single hero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It tells the story of how all of the heroes from the MCU must team up with the currently broken Avengers to take down Thanos, who has been searching for the Infinity Stones so he can use them for his own selfish purposes.
The events for this movie have been building up since The Avengers' post credits scene. We've gotten a few glimpses of Thanos and his plot, but we haven't had a good idea on his plans. That all comes together here, where we see almost all of the heroes split into small teams before coming together and forming one large one. There is a lot of fun, yet tense action here; the opening, for instance helps set the tone, showing that this is going to be a much darker film compared to most Marvel movies. There are some high stakes that are fought for that could end up shaking the status quo permanently.
Josh Brolin does a fantastic job as Thanos. Thanos gives off a very, very serious and dark vibe, which shows that he is not somebody that should be messed with. I feel as though Brolin did a perfect job doing so and is one of the best performances of the film, and that's saying something. You can tell that he had fun with his role, don't just take his word for it when he says that he had fun with it.
The humor's also there and thankfully isn't too jam packed into the film. Since this is a film that fits in an onslaught of characters in a 2 and a half hour runtime, it doesn't try to fit in too much humor. I find it to be a good thing considering that it mostly tries, and succeeds in trying to be very bleak. My main issue with the movie, however, is that there is often too much going on at the same time. In the first act, (Which is pretty long since there are many characters to establish) the movie tries to juggle around 4 or 5 different plots at once. That's where the film can get disorganized and hard to process.
It's hard not to spoil this film, but Avengers Infinity War is a fantastic addition to the MCU and definitely worth the hype that it's been given.
9/10
