A Visceral But Messy Thrill Ride

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2019)

Avengers Infinity War is a 140-minute tornado that comes in and goes out punching with the intent to kill. It requires several viewings just to comprehend all the material this film contains. Its strengths are in its ludicrously intense levels of action and mayhem, as well as a great performance from Josh Brolin, who finally brings to life the most well-developed MCU villain to date. Weaknesses? Some pretty hard-to-ignore plot holes and an ending that fails to evoke the emotion in the way it so enthusiastically tries to. Final Remarks? Avengers: Infinity War is for anyone looking for an explosive, edge-of-your-seat adventure, but those seeking a richer and deeper emotional resonance will gravitate towards Endgame.
