Bloodbath

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2018)

I saw "Avengers:Infinity War", starring Robert Downey Jr.-The Judge, The Shaggy Dog_2006; Chris Hemsworth-12 Strong, Vacation_2015; Benedict Cumberbatch-Zoolander 2, August:Osage County and Josh Brolin-Only the Brave, Sicario.
This is the best super hero movie that I have ever seen. It is the first part of a two part story-the second part will come out next year, as they were both shot at the same time. This is the 10th anniversary of the Marvel cinematic universe-the first movie being Iron Man in 2008-and I think the 19th movie overall. This one has almost any character you can think of-I read that there is about 64 main characters that show up. Thanos is the villain here, portrayed by Josh in magnificent form. He is after the 6 Infinity stones, incredibly powerful gem stones that when combined, would make him unstoppable. Each gem is in a different location and each has a different power; Space, Mind, Power, Reality, Time and Soul. Benedict is in possession of one, as is the Vision, so you can guess who is coming to town on a hunting spree. Robert and Chris both have their shots at Josh, with little chance of slowing him down. Why does Thanos want these gems so badly? He simply believes the universe is overpopulated-resources, food, etc.-and just wants to cull the herd a bit to make it a better universe for everyone else. He travels across the galaxy destroying about half of a planets population and smiles while he does it. The heroes have to unite in their fight and that's when you see some pretty awesome fights. And there are casualties-you might even say it's a bloodbath. And I'm talking some of the A-listers here. There is the usual Stan Lee cameo-look for him driving a bus full of kids-and there is a scene after the end credits, so don't leave too early-there is another casualty.
It's rated "PG-13" for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language and crude references and has a running time of 2 hours & 29 minutes.
I loved this movie and can hardly wait for part 2. I would buy it on Blu-Ray.
