Finally a Marvel film I can actually Marvel at.

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2018)

Okay, misanthrope alert! In the case of Avengers: Infinity War, I found myself actually rooting for Thanos more than the Avengers. It seems Thanos is the only one who realizes that there are too many people and is actually doing something about it. No that I have that off my chest, what about the movie?
As with the rest of the Marvel Universe films, there is no shortage of action and all your favorite characters are there. In that respect it feels like Pasta Puttanesca: You throw in whatever you have in the cupboard. And, for those of us who have not been totally sucked into the storyline, CNN has produced a good summary and timeline to help decipher the nuanced hints of what was to come in Infinity Wars.
The writers have done a good job of interweaving the various storylines together, no mean feat, to keep those who, such as myself, have not followed the story arc over the pat 10 years. Visuals, as yo would expect are stunning, and the hand-held photography is kept to a minimum so as not to induce vertigo!
Infinity Wars certainly raises some major questions about what is to come. I mean how can you eliminate that many key figures and keep the franchise alive? But then, Thanos does have the time infinity stone, so who is to say that time won't be reversed. After all this is fantasy.
The Marvel franchise is getting long in the tooth and personally, I lost much of the wide-eyed anticipation long ago. But Avengers: Infinity Wars does a lot to bring back the enjoyment of the franchise and left me with a "Say what?" at the end.
