A Culmination of Ten Years Work Results in a Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2018)

It's not often that movie franchise with 18 movies already creates something fresh. Avengers: Infinity War is exactlty that. A fresh creation from the Russo brothers who excellenty craft a film of immense build up and hype around it. They effortlessly get the best from their cast, many of whom who have not had on screen interactions together. The result is a massively enjoyable journey in which you're given moments of hunour, joy and the inevitable sadness. The on screen cast of what may be the best ensemble cast of our time, works incredibly well with chemistry which for some takes two or three films to develop. Infinity war delivers, whether your a lifelong fan of marvel stemming from the comics, the MCU or quite simply a one off movie goer this film is a delight. Marvel have created something fresh and just as exciting, if not more so than the first Iron Man movie ten years ago. Thanos is without a doubt the best MCU villain, making all who come before him look like a weak pretender and he the true big bad. The Russo Brother's portrayal of him is perfect, instead of him being 'Mad' the way he is in the comics. They attempt to humanise the mad titan, almost making you undertand his goals, almost. Josh Brolin's performance is brilliant, his delivery of the lines makes Thanos a modern day Darth Vader. A being torn by his beliefs into something so twisted that nothing will get in his way. The tone of the film was perfect, hopelesness was looming over all but despite this our Avengers never give up. For the pressue from inside and outside for this film to succeed, the Russo brothers deliver an effortlessly crafted masterpiece. That has rasied the bar for all over superhero films that will follow it. Bravo to all involved. As this behemoth culmination of work, leads to the best superhero film of our time.
Well, until Avengers 4 perhaps.
Go and see this film, you will not be dissatisfied.
