How Long Is Infinity Avengers

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2018)

Four stars are just the beginning if I can count how many moments I have thought about "Avengers: Infinity War" throughout my day, how about how many tears I've cried if I were the crying type or how long it took me to catch my breath. How about how long my heart stopped but if there is one thing you can count on is an Avengers movie to be awe-inspiring and how hard it's been to keep my mouth shut other than one word, Wow.
I can honestly say for one moment that I was utterly bereft of hope to see something like this, and I wanted the movie to be longer because I couldn't believe it, and yes this is a superhero movie, but still, I expected I don't know. As far as the cast goes, I can't single out one single character because they were all so incredible, how all their movies meshed into that of the greater Marvel universe and I still can't believe people walk out at any sign of the credits I mean it's a MARVEL movie people. This film will leave you utterly speechless.
Now with the appeasement of Fandango, what the holy hell was that; I will be the first one to *sigh* the usual endings of this type of thing, and I should warn you now there will be spoilers near the end of my review. Usually, I tend to ramble, and I think Marvel tends to stretch their movies, but this is probably the second movie I sincerely wished was longer next to Black Panther because with Infinity War it's like no this can't happen when it's all over. Let me also say that besides the ending that will undoubtedly draw more people, I think Marvel are some geniuses when they again put Black Panther as the last movie before this; I'm surprised there isn't more noise considering, to be honest.
The comic fans though must be feeling pretty smug in their superiority, Marvel has me I'll admit and yes without a doubt I will see the next movie, but I won't be buying the comics anytime soon, strange since I try to read books before watching films. Here you are reading my thoughts on the subject though; anybody (there's a tumbleweed) well how long has Thanos been working towards his plan, my perspective is over with a finger snap perhaps.
In the spirit of full transparency, I've not seen every single Marvel movie, my list of reasons spanning from, I think Natalie Portman is hot, or I like seeing heroes fight each other, and one of my favorites, I'm an African-American man. So instead of listening every single film that I have seen let's focus on this one, stop me if you heard this, bad guy wants to do bad things, and a group of superheroes that aren't exactly friends must stop him somehow, someway.
How to blend so many different storylines, there are sure to be a few misses, not that it takes from the movie at all but they don't go unnoticed and tying everything into a cute bow is incredibly impressive. Visually and maybe I'm jaded by this point, but it wasn't the most beautiful place, but you're mesmerized in the world and everybody I suppose drifts to their favorites heroes which is again a hit and miss with me. Of course, we get the Stan Lee cameo, which is one of those things that I can't honestly comment on seeing as how I'm not this comic book fanatic but something that I look forward to considerably.
As far as villains go, always you have to do your research since they can be as replaceable as villain A, B, and C, along with an army of henchmen or let's say cannon fodder. Honestly, we all just wanted one big fight right. You'll get that sure enough and Thanos for me I was a lot more impressed with his mindset than his imposing figure, seeing as how I am a fan of The Purge Franchise no doubt which can be a scary thought. Comedy-wise, the jokes hit their mark though there was one moment in particular that made me cringe and no it wasn't the ending but will get to that one misstep.
Think of Avengers: Infinity War as a more colorful and happy "Watchmen" with a more significant body count, Marvel vs. DC can't say I have ever chosen a side but if we count the movies I've seen, I like Batman but sorry DC. Avengers: Infinity War is different from its other films by the fact that you want to learn about this world and everything in it. As in most of the flicks, you have a moral question, but they gave me a book so that I could understand the Infinity Gauntlet, I want it.
If we're going by the Fandango scale I'll give it four out of five stars, yes I know I'm hard to please, and I become upset over the dumbest things, but the fact that this movie didn't have me looking at my watch is saying something. How about saying this, don't look any further than here, this movie won me over, I'd see it again, I would buy it, I'll see the next one but enough time has passed so yes spoiler alert, just saying.
The moment that made me cringe and yes this was so freaking dumb for me to care about is when they arrive at Wakanda and Bruce Banner is wondering whether or not to bow to King T'Challa, and he does. So yeah it's a bit of an awkward moment, can't stand stupidity for stupidity's sake. Then we have Thanos and minions, can you say Darkside, more comic book wars or what have you; Thanos's plan, is excellent and the fact that you might be able to see a bit where he's coming from I believe. How about the fact that some major cities have bared the brunt of evil and suddenly Wakanda is being asked to throw everything into this, to me, it's a bit unfair but whatever gets fans.
As for the moments that got me to geek out, must I say this with every review, yes because I don't like to lie or omit and in this day and age men are being taught saying anything will get you in trouble? *Ahem* I adore the ladies, in particular, Scarlet Witch and Black Widow and where's Valkyrie? The battles always get me but I wanted to see more of what the Infinity Gauntlet could do before Thanos went for the main course, and I wished the fight was even more detailed, I mean not just the heroes. Spider-Man and not the end but that moment Tony Stark knighted him somewhat into the Avengers and of course the ending that I never saw coming at all; who is Captain Marvel?
I'm hoping I won't end up like Annie Wilkes seeing all the sequels that will be coming out to explain all that has happened; I'm somewhat surprised there wasn't more of an outcry except against Star-Lord. No use crying about it now since you can see if Thanos got to you "didthanoskill.me" but I doubt any of us will be gong long, until 2019 but How Long Is Infinity Avengers.
