Marvel once again proved that these films are not only made for fans, but also by them

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2018)

Despite all the hype I didn't expect much from this movie - I was not a fan of Thor: Ragnarok, and the amount of the characters that were to appear in this film has made me a bit concerned. But as it turned out, I had nothing to worry about.
The film was a pleasant mixture of action, tragedy, and comic relief, as all the different characters interacted with each other. The screenwriters did a great job at blending more serious universes (Captain America, Iron Man) with the humorous ones (Thor, Spider-Man, The Guardians of Galaxy), and they managed to keep them at balance throughout the whole film. Still, despite all this, their focus was put on Thanos, and they found time to explain his actions and motivation - so much needed in a character like this. Marvel has a reputation for not having believable villains, but Thanos, as well as Loki, proved this wrong.
As for the actors, Chris Pratt showed he is the certified king of comedy, Zoe Saldana surprised by bringing out Gamora's sensitive site, and Josh Brolin as Thanos was just mesmerizing. Robert Downey Jr demonstrated his passion for acting and ability to blend with a role of Tony, bringing to it both seriousness and humor (you could really see he is the heart of the MCU, in this movie in particular). And Benedict Cumberbatch can act out just about anything.
Marvel once again proved that these films are not only made for fans, but also by them- while watching the movie I could feel the excitement and dedication of producers as well as the rest of the crew, and it made me feel grateful, like I was also a part of the journey. And this is exactly what is so special abut Marvel - their films have that nostalgic something, where characters seemed like old friends and their adventures can easily be your own.
