The Real Question Is: When is this on DVD?

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2018)

Avengers Infinity War was everything all Marvel fans have been waiting for. Thanos finally reaching our heroes and putting their strengths and weaknesses to the test. That's exactly what the Russo brothers did and what the cast gave us. Josh Brolin as Thanos is just the right amount of villain to make you hate his guts but right when you think he's finally shown some sympathy to our heroes he stabs us all in the back (or pushes us off a cliff) to make us realize that hummanity has created the best and worst of us. And that's all portrayed in Thanos.
The core 6 (minus Hawkeye) so 5, are all there with all the new additions and they are are surprisingly entertaining, heartwarming, devestatingly sad, and everything we asked for, even in Star Lord who I never could fully connect with. (Kudos to Chris Pratt for showing he's truly got a soul and isn't a totally butthole).
Two complaints: not enough Wakanda! Not only was Black Panther a wonderful edition to the MCU, it had more likability than GOTG (1&2) and better characters and we were snubbed of that. Especially T'Challa and Steve.
Second: not enough build up to the return of Red Skull. Perhaps it was meant to be a surprise and it did surprise me that they went that route but for fans who didn't see Cap 1 or never truly followed along to the MCU, it left them confused as to who that was and why I was wide eyed at the scene. We could have gotten some kind of clue that he would return and how he might affect the future films and if he will ever interact with Cap again before Evans' contract ends.
Overall: one of the best Avengers films there is. Marvel Cinematic Universe films that is. Perhaps it doesn't top Black Panther for the year and Ant-Man 2 is certainly in third, but it holds its own and will forever be the movie that had us shaken to our core when the screen went black at the end.
