A culmination of 10 years that (mostly) lives up to the hype

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2018)

Avengers: Infinity War is something that, on the first watch, you're absolutely blown away by. You walk out of the theater satisfied. It acts as a reward for sticking with the MCU and it does deliver.
What I appreciate most is the fact that while this is certainly the avengers' movie, it's also the main villain Thanos' story.
One thing that this may seem is overstuffed. It's a lot to take in, certainly, and with so many characters to fit in, of course it's going to seem that way. There certainly could have been some improvements to the story, but overall the plot was well done.
The direction is what stands out. The Russo brothers have crafted an addition that truly serves as a fantastic piece of blockbuster action while remaining faithful to the previous MCU directors.
One last thing I don't normally compliment: the CGI and visual affects were on point. Marvel has never had a real problem with it in the past, but this was just plain amazing. One of the most visually dazzling films of this last year.
Avengers: Infinity War is a culmination of 10 years of good films that mostly lives up to the hype. (8/10)
