Avengers Infinity War: Marvels crown jewel

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2018)

Let me be clear Infinity War is not flawless, it has its faults but thankfully they are overshadowed by two hours of awesomeness.
Every movie in the Marvel universe for the last decade has ultimately been building up to this therefore expectations were through the roof and for the most part it delivers.
Almost every character from the MCU teams up to face its most dangerous foe yet, the mad titan himself Thanos and if you know anything about the comics then going in you'd know to brace yourself for heartache.
With all the hype as to who wouldn't survive the film I'm left wondering just how many deaths are permanent, this is a superhero universe after all so never say never.
Though the story and Thanos's motivations differ from the comic this can be forgiven as the new story is wafer thin but competent.
As you can imagine one of the most exciting things about Infinity War was uniting heroes we've never seen side by side and that certainly delivers on all fronts. The action is thick and fast, despite the dark overtone we have plenty of comedy and teenage Groot didn't ruin the film like I feared he would.
Obviously this is not a big finale and merely a high profile chapter in a much larger story but the movie is highly climatic regardless.
I am saddened that this wasn't a two parter, alike Civil War (2016) this was a huge story and perhaps should have been broken up across movies.
Infinity War is a contender for the best Marvel movie and instead of feeling burnt out after the never ending stream of films this has wet my appetite for more and I can't wait for the next film.
Excellent stuff, though where in the blue hell was Ant Man?
The Good:
Children of Thanos
Thanos
All out action as expected
Ties everything together nicely
The Bad:
Peter Dinklage (Never thought I'd say that)
So many characters were spread too thin
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
If Thanos and Cable ever meet its going to be super weird
Dishonest footage/photos are commonplace now (Look up the footage of Hulk in Wakanda running with the rest of the team) Seriously, never happened.
Somewhere out there right now are DC fans claiming this is a bad film
