Infinity War is One of the Best

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2018)

After ten years, 18 movies, and the introduction of over 20 great heroes like the Avengers (which includes Black Panther and Spider-Man), the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Doctor Strange, time has come for everyone to get together for the ultimate battle. The end has finally come... and then we'll have more sequels and introductions to more heroes because apparently we live in a country obsessed with sequels and dragging franchises for more money. But seriously the biggest moment for the MCU has come, and it is something.
This film just goes to show that the Russos, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely could direct and write a well-balanced story for a movie with 23 heroes and five main villains with about four storylines. It is also shown that they were especially able to make this film be incredibly dark and serious with huge twists yet still keep the humor that has always brought the charm in the series. But keep in mind the huge twists. I will tell you, the ending is a JAW...DROP!
As always, the actors and characters we already know are great in the movie. The Avengers (again, includes Black Panther and Spider-Man), the Guardians, and Doctor Strange, have always been great. But for this film, they all have decent chemistry as characters meeting each other for the first time. All the different heroes mix in well together by either driving each other nuts at first, try to work well as teams, and even find ways to develop the perfect match ups. My favorite match ups in this film would be Thor, Rocket, and Teen-Groot, and Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and some of the other Guardians. Josh Brolin perfectly portrays the long awaited alien warlord Thanos as the most ambitious villain in the series who is the right amount of evil, condescending, but also somewhat respectful, and even tortured. His children/henchman, the Black Order are also an interesting bunch, even though we don't see a whole lot of them. However, I will admit that these goons and their boss do a lot of horrendous stuff in this film from beginning to end, which is why it's a little hard not to hate their guts for it all. They're the sorts of film villains you end up both loving and hating.
Now...the action scenes tho! They...are...wait for it...PHENOMINAL!!!! All the different heroes fighting together in exotic locations are done in the most ambitious and incredible way in the series. To me, the best parts are this huge battle in Wakanda and a smaller yet just as major and extremely ambitious battle on an alien planet between Iron Man's team and Thanos.
This movie is definitely worth the decade (or maybe six year) long wait to see the Avengers take on their worst enemy. It will make you laugh, cry, put you on the edge of your seat, cry, make your jaw drop, cry, want to re-watch it over and over, and cry over and over. I think you get the idea. In fact, it is THE BEST AVENGERS FILM and THE, ... or one of THE... dare I say it... BEST FILMS IN THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE!!!
Oh, and P.S.: It'll make you cry. Oh, wait. I said that. It'll make you cry.
