Great as a part of the MCU, fails as a stand-alone movie.

Rating: 6/10 (12 June 2018)

While "Infinity War" is beyond impressive as a cinematic experience & the culmination of at least 6 years of planning it fails to stand alone as a movie.
For fans of the MCU ,I belive this film is as close to perfect as marvel can get but (and there is a big but) if you have not watced the relatively recent marvel movies ("Thor: Ragnarok", "Captain America: Civil War" etc.) the new Avengers movie is going to be an epic mess.
The fights are incredible, the emotions are intense & the villan is great for once but juggling that many characters is not simple in the lest. Some characters get epic arcs (Thor & Iron Man), other are dissapointing (Vision & Black Panther) & some are missing (Hawkeye & Ant Man).
At the end of the day "Avengers: Infinity War" is an epic adventure for marvel fans, it is a good movie & impressive in scope but if it were to be asked to stand alone it would crumble.
