Holy Hell, That Was a Gut Punch of a Movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2018)

Infinity War has had so much hype surrounding it, that I was worried that it would be consumed by its own hype, and having a stereotypical ending. But boy oh boy was I wrong, Infinity War was a fantastic film that absolutely pulled NO punches or kicks. There were drastic consequences, and we'd thought we only saw the last of the deaths once Vision bit the dust, but NOPE! Thanos got all the stones, snapped his fingers, and half the universe died, along with half of the Avengers. It was an extremely sad and shocking moment, yes, but the moment that takes the cake was when Peter Parker / Spider-Man died. I was sobbing like a baby in the theater, as he's always been my favorite, and I never thought for a moment we'd see him die. But he did, and even though we all know it's not a permanent death, it sure as hell is being treated as such.
The ending, for all the heartache, was brilliant. Thanos going to watch the sunset he talked about, while smiling, was amazing. And the fact that we got no big overdone title sequence, just somber plain text over sad music, with the title crumbling away at the end. Regardless if it's seen as one of the best, this film will go down in history. And I absolutely loved it.
