Mindblowing

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2019)

'Avengers: Infinity War' is the culmination of most of the heroes of the Marvel cinematic universe, and it's a very good movie. Thanos is a terrifying villain which you dread seeing because you know once you see him, something bad is going to happen and there will be major consequences. Groups are split up and sent on different missions but are all for the same goal. The characters we know and love aren't really developed anymore considering they've already been developed before, but the most development comes in Thanos who for a CG character who is trying to murder half the universe, is a sympathetic character who thinks he's right. The acting is brilliant, standout being Josh Brolin as Thanos who makes the character feel real. The visual effects are mind-blowing as everything feels so real, it should feel goofy and ridiculous but it isn't. The music is decent but nothing mind-blowing the Avengers theme is a nice touch to hear often. The movie sometimes struggles in terms of cutting back and forth between many characters. It is a nitpick as it basically juggles all the characters perfectly. Expectations are subverted, all your awful theories are wrong as Marvel is very creative and utilizes it's advantage in having many movies before this one. It was worth the 10 year wait.
