The grand rehearsal before the groundbreaking act

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2019)

I remember when the first Avengers movie came out all people lost their minds from the biggest crossover of superheroes in history; six years later the snowball has gotten bigger and now the boulder of awesomeness is rolling to crash us.
The trait of Marvel that has always attracted me is that every film is a part of an enormous puzzle that leads to the picture that stands out from everything that we have ever seen. A continuous story leaves no choice but to take a hold of the feelings from the last chapter and ride that wave again with all the worries and excitement.
The scale of the performance is gigantic - it's not a brawl on the streets, not a journey between two cities, the action is literally everywhere. All the characters that throughout the history of the universe caught our eye are there in one way of another, not every one of them knows each other but in the face of the grave danger they will have the acquaintance of their lives.
A rather fast change of sets does not let you rest and prepares all the ingredients for the main dish that will be served afterwards. Overall the motivation of the characters is straight and understandable, however, some decisions don't show lazy writing but are there to screw with the future of the universe and could have been avoided with a snap of fingers.
I totally agree that Thanos is one of the greatest villains of all time: ready to do whatever it takes to reach the goal and the sweetest part is that he is unpredictable as hell and considering that he increases his power with every step the fate of our heroes is in constant and imminent threat.
The hallmark of Marvel is a solid plot with ultra-quality effects and this case is not an exception. Multiple incredible eye-pleasing moments leave you with an open mouth and keep making you wonder if ever the imagination well of screenwriters will dry out.
Recovering from one of the best cliffhangers of the recent years I will say that 'Infinity war' is so far one of the best movies of the MCU - nearly perfect roller-coaster of emotions accompanied by superb score. Let's hope that from this beautiful egg will hatch an outstanding creature that will live in our memory forever.
