An Infinity Gauntlet sized cinematic punch

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2018)

This film should be impossible to get right.
Gather over 30 characters from 17 other films, all helmed by different people with different visions, collect them and finish up the pay off that's been building for 6 years since our first glimpse at Thanos at the end of Avengers. The Russo brothers did it. They made it, and they made it spectacular.
The action is satisfying, the character focus is laser precise, the story is taut with tension and a grounded battle against what is right, and what is necessary. Marvel has outdone themselves. Simply one of the best cinematic experiences of the century thus far. Detractors may point to under utilised characters, a reliance on CGI, and poorly timed humour, but when everything else is some of the greatest blockbuster action ever put to screen, to let those things bring it down would be silly.
If there was one gripe, it would be continuity. To fully appreciate everything in this film, you need to have seen Civil War, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, and to understand those films you need to have seen the countless Marvel films before them too.
But for those who have seen it, for those who have followed Marvel over the last 10 years, here's to another 10. People call it oversaturation, I call it the biggest and greatest cinematic event to ever occur. Here's to you, Marvel, you've done the impossible. You kept the fans happy.
