Not too bad

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2018)

Avengers: Infinity War packs quite a punch and after 10 years manages to tie together its universe.
This was a good film, it had strong points and it had disappointments as well. The fighting scenes and some touching moments were well done but at the same time the elements that have led Marvel produce some of the best superhero films were not there. Granted this was a more serious film but the humor was lacking. Captain America did not have his shield, the Avengers didn't fully unite but fought in different parts. Steve and Iron Man didn't even share a scene together. What might have been better could have been having those separate fights in other realms and later having the whole team fight together on Wakanda. To me the biggest issue was pace, Marvel films excel at having great space and making great use of their time. This film had a slow pace at the start and sadly a bit boring sometimes.
To me the film to beautifully tie their universe together was Civil War. This was a great film that devoted time to each hero, pitted them in a great match up and showed off their strengths. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but after all the hype I expected more. Pretty good but not great, other films such as Thor Rangarok, Spider Man and Ant Man hit it out of the park. Thanos was a great villain and Josh Brolin deserves praise. It was sad to see our heroes disappear but I am excited to see what's next. This was surely part 1 and part 2 will be the film that might live up and exceed expectations. It was realistic to have him win round 1 to make for an even great round 2.
7/10
