The decade of a bar set high, if not higher. Had different expectations, just like others with theirs.

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2018)

Avengers: Infinity war is a solid base foundation that wastes not an ounce of time in setup territory. Instead, the more relevant plan is just to do the things that the first eighteen MCU movies have long been leading up to, being a decade for that matter.
First up, the action is an absolute win factor that frequently elevates the movie in the direction it should be going right where it initiates. The script-writing with essential MCU humor remains intact as to be usually expected. Both the heroes and villains have their equal bargain of screentime. And to put the lackluster theory to rest, Thanos alongside the rest of his forces attributes to one of the more significant beings of villainy thus far. The cameos and particularly some eye-popping returns are perhaps the ultimate power up mid way through. It really does however feel as though the element that gets this ambitious threequel stirring along is the dynamics between characters typically as they encounter one another for the first ever time. Just when it seemed like the pace might be draggy and formulaic, it really wasn't. Only the shuffle might not necessarily have been executed at peak level.
Now just to make things fairly simple, the teamwork in every action scene is enough to keep you intrigued. The duration per action scene isn't quite as long enough, thereby making it seem that Civil War's airport battle remains the top tier contender for a well earned time being.
Spider-Man is great but it feels like his whole depiction works in the MCU more by weakness than strength. Comically, it works. But maybe his stakes could broaden up in the future. I get that there were plenty of others too.
The X-Men/ FF deal isn't here too soon for a live action crossover. Maybe now we'll relish the blast of the Avengers and Guardians together. Fair enough, I'd reckon.
The visuals felt breathtaking and genuinely on point.
What's with these trailer shots that don't make the cut anyway?
The adventure this movie sets foot upon doesn't weigh down the plotlines. Yet it would seem that characters exist, do their stuff. Maybe not as hugely as a collection as any wild expectation ought to get. Maybe Civil War was where the Russos timed the juggle right, and this time the priorities seemed like a shift from previous executions. It's thankful enough to say this movie didn't have any setback that made it suck. The sound editing is suitably good. The final act felt reasonable and delivered a fistful of Thanos mayhem. But I'd rather refer to this movie as a combination of heroes than a culmination of efforts. I'm already betting on the next Avengers movie to embark the grander way to prominence.
Oh yes, got to love the post credit scene.
In the end, Infinity War works as much as a teamwork crossover event as it does as a villain biopic depiction. It has enough contention of its own to rank its way to the top MCU movie depending on how you look at it. I haven't listed any spoilers, even though I pretty much read all I could before even watching it. Well, it's my thing as my criteria goes about knowing stuff beforehand and seeing how it plays out in the result. But others probably do not feel the same way so this is entirely spoiler free.
I'd hoped for a complete 10 star rating. I really did. The stakes couldn't be better. But I'm starting to think I miss Whedon's work.
