This is where all roads led!!

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2018)

Although I was checking the score on a few sites, I have not yet read any reviews or comments on Avengers: IW, so this opinion is based solely on my experience earlier today. This movie is up there with the best fantasy epics of my adolescence, or with some of the greatest comic book/superhero movies of more recent years. It's huge. It's epic. It's amazing. It's a damn well orchestrated symphony. It's Beethoven's 9th. For me, it doesn't get any better. But...unfortunately, not everyone will think that, or have the same experience. Why? Because it can't be considered a standalone movie and it can't be enjoyed as one. It is the top of the pyramid but you can't just land on it, you have to climb the whole pyramid first. It's a cinematic orgasm, but you have to go through the sex to get to it. It requires previous MCU knowledge, without it is just like watching the Superbowl with no understanding of the game. Many scenes, dialogues, lines, actions and choices of certain characters...won't work without it and will have less to no emotional impact on the viewer. So yes, for Marvel vets is the (first half of a) Champions League Final of all Marvel movies, for others is just an explosive game with perhaps to many players on the field. In Spidey's words: Sorry, I can't remember all your names..."
Well I can, and I will never forget any of them...
