Superb - Intense - Expectations exceeded

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2018)

Having been a recent convert to the MCU, I had only watched five or so of the more than dozen movies over the past few years. With the advent of Movies Anywhere, I collected all of them and watched them in the past month.
I went into Avengers: Infinity War with pretty high expectations. Thanos had to be the ultimate villain that was not only calculating, but immensely powerful. The different heroes had to play off each other's abilities well. And the stakes had to be high. Very high.
Well, the Russo brothers and Kevin Feige more than delivered. This film not only met all those expectations, but delivered more, giving us a complex character in Thanos, and not pulling ANY punches on the way to the 'end game', and having an ending that left me completely stunned.
It literally took me an evening and the next morning to process everything I had watched... something that is a hallmark of a good film. Totally 11/10.
