Best By Marvel

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2018)

Avengers: Infinity War- M gonna try to write this with as less as spoilers possible. But there will be some minor ones , so sorry for that.
Q. Is it the best MCU film overall?
A. Yes. (not counting BLACK PANTHER , because i haven't seen it yet)
Q. Does it has flaws ?
A. Many. But its not the best MCU film by becoming perfect , rather the good things in the movie were so awesome , that you are totally gonna forget the bad things.
Q. Is it the best written MCU movie ?
A. Certainly not. If we consider just writing CAP AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER takes the crown.
Q. Does characters die?
A. O YES. Much More in numbers then u r expecting.
Q. Does they will be left dead ?
A. Certainly not. MCU is no Game Of Thrones. There are million ways a character can reborn. And this time the movie hinted a way itself .
Q. Does that affect the emotional effect of those deaths ?
A. Not At All . Its exceptional. The movie will punch u in the gut , really really hard , many times but specially in the climax , after the last fight. M pretty sure this movie has the bleakest Climax any Superhero movie ever had. MCU goes beyond DCEU level dark with this movie. To the level of darkness Nolan use to provide in Dark Knight Trilogy. And although i don't think this movie to be as good as Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises , but even those two movies didn't had such a sorrowful climax.
As there were few , i would like to start (yes the review starts now , above it , was just the background, sorry if it gets lengthy) with the bad things.

1. Jokes didn't worked always. I mean the characters throws jokes in between some serious scenes , which didn't felt good. They also throws jokes when someone is on the verge of getting killed. This has been a major problem for me since the beginning of MCU. But yes , majority of the jokes land very nicely.

2. There were too many things in the movie happening simultaneously . Which again didn't feel good always. For example i really loved the WAKANDA action scene , but that fight sequence was cut at-least four times to show whats happening on the other storyline. That irritated me a little.
3. Many characters in the movie didn't got enough scenes for themselves , unfortunately most of them were my fav - CAP AMERICA , BLACK PANTHER and the whole WAKANDA team , Black Widow , Winter Soldier . Hawkeye was not even in the movie. HULK , o my my , how can they not use HULK. Everyone loves hulk, but except the opening scenes where HULK fights THANOS for a very small amount of time , the rest of the movie gave us Bruce Banner because apparently he is not able to change himself to HULK anymore. By the way there were no AntMan or Valkyrie either , but didn't missed them at all.
4. Then there was a single scene where a character did a really really really stupid thing even after 4 other characters were asking him not to do that. And by doing that thing , they lost really nice chance to defeat Thanos. And that stupid thing was done by (yes m gonna name him) STAR-LORD.

So whom did i liked most in the movie. Ofcoarse it was THENOS. He is an awesome villain . Infact the 2nd best villain of any Comic Book movies after - Yes Heath Ledger's JOKER. He was strong . He was menacing . But he had very clear thought. Particular goals . Which he thought to be the right thing to do to cleanse the Universe. He is not a villain just for the sake of being villain. He just don't go on killing people . He only kills them if it fulfills his higher purpose. He is emotional too. Also cries on the loss of loved one. Yes Yes Yes , he is able to love. Stakes were really high with him. Our heres were never in control of the situation , they were getting being defeated again and again .Josh Brolin did a damn good job with the motion capture technique , to make THANOS really really expressive.
When it comes to heroes. Two of my favorites were THOR (who was as good as he was is Thor:Ragnorak) with his jokes and his new weapon (an AXE) and his lightening power AND DR STRANGE (who was so so so much better here then his stand alone movie) with his EGOISTIC war with equally EGOISTIC Tony Stark and also his awesome Magical Powers.
Others get there time to shine too. But i am specially disappointed with DRAX , who although got enough screen time , is not contributing to the team enough , and was there in the movie to just crack jokes.
Then comes the action scenes. Loved each and everyone. Weather it was the small fist fight between Hulk and Thanos or the big and crazily crowded fight in Wakanda.
So lets end it with some small footnote points.
1. I watched the movie in 2d , and totally loved it. So i dont know if its worth of the extra money to be spent on 3d.
2. There was an end credit scene in the very end , so wait for it , which establishes a connection with upcoming MCU film , for which i was not much excited but some how that end credit scene gave me excitement.
3. If in the early half of the movie u feel that its just good not the best , wait for the 2nd half as it gets better , and the end is totally mind boggling .
4. Last but not the least , this movie has the best cliffhanger ever for any movie to set up a next installment, even better then the whole KATAPPA SUSPENSE of BAHUBALI 1 .
So yes , now time to wait. Avenger 4 is coming on 3rd May 2019.
