An Epic Superhero film 10 Years in the making.

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2018)

Avengers Infinity war is finally here, this has been my most anticipated film for a long time now and even though it is hard to believe this film lives up to all the hype and delivers a truly amazing film. The premise of the film sees the Mad Titan Thanos on the hunt for the six Infinity stones, standing in his way are the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. This film has tons of characters but in my opinion the main and most important character in this film is Josh Brolin's Thanos. This character could have been a weakness to this film but it turns out he is the most interesting part of this film, his character is menacing and bought to life amazingly through great CGI. He also has so much depth to his character and a detailed motivation for his actions that made this overall story much more interesting. Robert Downey Jnr is back as Tony Stark/Iron Man and he is so natural in this role that he could probably play it in his sleep. He adds his usual fun to the film but also some really important character moments that helped this performance. Another important character in this film is Thor played by Chris Hemsworth, after the success of Thor Ragnarok, Hemsworth continues to excel in this role and I found his part in this film to be interesting and fun to watch. Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland recently had there solo movies as Dr Strange and Spider-man and they both did a great job in this film. They add depth to their roles in this film especially Cumberbatch that helps build interest in his character when interacting with Downey and Holland. The rest of the Avengers and Guardians cast all do great jobs in their roles even though due to the large amount of characters in this film certain individuals may not get the screen time that audience members would like. The story in this film was something I was worried about due to the huge cast, but this film delivered. All the different story arcs were worked really well and gave something different to the overall story, also as mentioned previously the villains story is treated really well and gives this villain more depth then expected. This film also promised to raise the stakes and they do this in an appropriate but natural way that will keep the audience interested. The script has the usual Marvel humour in it, but the most important part of the script was the added drama and depth added to the characters really raised the bar for this film that they delivered on. The style in this film is huge and epic, the balance of story arcs are treated well and allowed the majority of characters to feel relevant. The action scenes in this film felt huge in scale and unique depending on the characters involved with helped really make this film unique. Overall this is truly the epic Marvel blockbuster promised and needs to be seen at the cinema to be truly appreciated, just make sure you are caught up on these films and go see this film as soon as possible.
