Earth's Mightiest Movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2018)

Avengers Infinity War is the spectacular culmination of 18 previous movies over 10 years that exceeded my expectations! As someone who has followed the marvel universe since it's inception, I can say that this film successfully brings together an enormous cast, a remarkable story, twists that will keep you guessing, serious and gut-wrenching dramatic stakes, and an ending that left me both immensely satisfied and yearning for more at the same time! With a cast of this size, I was worried that the film would be confusing or bloated, but the directors jump from story to story in a way that is very easy to follow and each character gets at least one moment to shine! The antagonists of the majority of the previous entries in the marvel cinematic universe have been characters with no real deapth or motivations that don't entirely make sense, but the mad titan Thanos is quite the exception. Thanos sees himself as the hero of his own story and this movie does an excellent job of making the viewer understand why he does what he does and I empathize with him on some level. This movie has a lot of serious and emotional moments that would make sense for the most part if Avengers Infinty War was your first marvel cinematic universe film, but that being said, those moments are highlighted by context from previous entries in the series, and you would not have the same emotional payoffs you would if you possess at least a general knowledge of the marvel universe. Overall Avengers Infinity War is an excellent film that is not only impressive from its technical achievements, but also for, its superb cast and story that left me eager to see what will happens to earth's mightiest heroes!
