A 10 Year Wait For A 2 Part Film That Will Set Up The Future Of The MCU

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2018)

What an absolute masterpiece of a film. After ten years of waiting, this delivered exactly what the audience were hoping for.
To start with, I LOVED how Thanos, the villain, is the main part of the film. It is basically a "heist" movie where Thanos is on a mission to get the Infinity Stones and The Avengers are the obstacles that he has to face. I thought that was a fantastic way of handling the movie. Hats off to you, Russo Brothers!
As the film goes on, you begin to understand Thanos' way of thinking when it comes to balancing the universe. His method, as villainous as it sounds, makes perfect sense! However, you know that it needs to be stopped. Yet, once you combine that with the number of years worth of support that you've given to The Avengers, you then begin to side with them more. The film is brilliant for making you know that the villain needs to be stopped but also for making you understand the villain's plan and why he's doing it.
The film is very fast paced so you need to keep up. However, it doesn't leave you hanging. If it leaves a scene open ended then don't worry because that scene will be concluded later on. That said, you begin to have a clear understanding of what each group of Avengers are doing when it comes to their own plans. It's sort of like sending three parties out to handle the situation differently. You have Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon etc defending the stone against Thanos. You then have Thor, Rocket Raccoon and Groot making a weapon to defeat Thanos. Finally, you have Iron Man, Doctor Strange and Spider-Man etc bringing the fight to Thanos himself. Again, I LOVED how even though they were handling the situation differently, each plan was countered by Thanos and The Black Order. You finally get to see what you as an audience want to see (even though you admit you don't), which is The Avengers being conquered and going up against something way beyond them.
The fight scenes were awesome and the character interactions and development was gripping, comical and interesting. I don't really have much more to say until I see it again as I'm still recovering from it! Marvel has excelled itself with this ballsy, funny, emotional and tense masterpiece. Infinity War will gain new audiences, satisfy big fans of the comic books and entertain every person who chooses to watch it.
Also, I'm so excited for the 4th film and the nod to Captain Marvel was a brilliant post-credit scene. Well done, Marvel! I have NO idea what is going to happen next!
I'm scared and also very excited!
