Worth every penny and bring tissues

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2018)

I have been a fan of the Marvel movies since the beginning, but I was a fan of Marvel long before that. Through the comic books and the cartoon series, I have grown to love this world and the characters that inhabit it, and the MCU movies truly brought them to life, they allowed them to be in the real world. This instalment of their adventures was showing all their hens coming to roost - there were jokes of course, but it was deadly serious from the very beginning. Every character knew the stakes were high and by the end of it, the silence by which the characters expired thickened this seriousness. I was brought to the verge of tears, holding them back only because I was in public, because for all intents and purposes my friends are dead.
This is a brilliant film and merges all the light-heartedness that the MCU is known for with the true grit and realism of the Netflix shows, despite the aliens and flashy lights.
Thanos is given a much more grounded reason for his tirade and this makes him one of the more menacing and powerful villains ever seen.
I truly cannot wait for the next film in the MCU and the next Avengers film.
Well done to you all for this.
