It's the best it could possible be

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2018)

I really have to commend the Russo Brothers and Marvel Studios for this film. I can't imagine what a task it must have been to balance all these many characters and still make a good and entertaining film. That said, it's not perfect.
It's a bit too long, and a a little bloated. It particularly gets a little dull in the middle. However these flaws were always going to be unavoidable for a film like this, with so many characters and tones having to mesh. That's why I say that, while the film's not perfect, it's the best it could have been.
The film is quite funny, and all the jokes land. The action is great. Seeing the characters meet and interact is very fun.
The highlight of the film, for sure, is the villain. Thanos is fantastic. He has a clear motivation, and real menace.
Very fun film for everyone. It is definitely a part 1 though, so keep that in mind.
8/10
