Spectacular and Jaw dropping

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2018)

Avengers: Infinity War is one of those rare movies that has an extremely unhappy ending, yet stuns and amazes you all throughout. As Marvel has moved forward with their cinematic universe, and Disney digging their massive claws deeper into the scripts to fill their quota, I was slightly nervous what would become of the Avengers movies, especially after seeing the atrocity that was Thor: Ragnorok. After that debacle I wasn't sure I wanted to continue watching any of the rest of the movies in the MCU. Thankfully Infinity War left me feeling satisfied, even with the cliffhanger ending. The Russo brothers are excellent at their job, and were the perfect choice to bring all the superheroes introduced thus far and make it action packed, dramatic, with just enough humor to keep it from going overkill.
The other thing I liked what they did with the movie, is leave a lot of questions unanswered. With the ending of Thanos actually achieving getting all the stones and killing half the world's population, some will probably argue that's a little dissatisfactory (which who can blame them? Half the world basically vaporizes on the spot and 3/4 of the Avengers die as well, while the bad guy wins. That's not exactly the ending everyone expects). But because we know this is only the first half of the act, it leaves fans to come up with their own ideas and theories to what the second act will bring, and try to come up with their own answers to the questions left open. Something to keep us occupied until Avengers 4 is released no doubt.
Like someone else has said, I believe those who we saw physically die, with their bodies actually laying dead, I'm presuming they are for sure dead. But I don't believe the ones who were vaporized are truly "dead", whether they're just in another world that the living can't reach, or there's a way to reverse what Thanos did, I don't think we've said goodbye to all of them just yet, particularly Spider-Man and Black Panther, whom we've only barely been introduced to.
All in all, great movie, keeps you guessing, and here's to guessing what the outcome will be come next year!
