Not the greatest or the best MCU has to offer, but damn, it's the darkest one....

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2018)

From the very start of the movie, we can already feel the serious tone that marvel usually tries to avoid, from the beginning where no iconic MCU intro song was played (it was instead, replaced by a distress call as a continuation from Thor: Ragnarok's mid-credit scene) to the end where..... ummm... *SPOILER*, no wonder many fans were left scarred for (possibly) the rest of their lives (some of them even reported being passed out at the end of the movie lol). But not for me, on the contrary I'm Happy! I'm so happy that finally, FINALLY! A Superhero/Comicbook movie where, the bad guy that you know and love........................................WINS!!!!! Though not without great effort and sacrifices, which make the bad guy even more badass.
Thanos is easily the best and the greatest character in the movie, he is probably (and arguably) one of the greatest movie villain of all time (side-by-side with Darth Vader, if they decided to make infinity war saga into a trilogy like the original Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings). He's not that all-powerful like in the comics (which becomes one of my disappointments from the movie, in which I think that Thanos was not as powerful as Korath from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie said when he consider him as the most powerful being in the universe without the gauntlet and the stones) he has feelings too, especially for Gamora. The difference of Thanos' motive in the movie from the comics actually disappoints me a little bit. The force of true and pure evil, violence, megalomania, destructive ambition, and absolute psychopathy suddenly turned into a well intentioned extremist.
Another factor that downgrades the movie was the fact the last battle scene in Wakanda is not as long or as great as the battle of new york. It almost ends instantly the moment Thor arrived at the scene. The Outriders are not as formidable as the Chitauris with their laser guns, flying rovers, and the massive flying monsters (they are called Leviathans by the way) whereas the outriders only relies heavily on their savagery, claws, teeth, and blood-thirsty instinct like a massive horde of zombies. The Black Order aren't so great either, in which all four of them die in just this one movie where they are first introduced.
So far, I enjoyed the movie more than almost anyone who needs therapist because they cannot accept some of their favorite characters turned to dust once Thanos' masterplan come to fruition. while they cried, I was like "Oh yeahhh....!!!" in complete happiness. I don't really care if some of them don't make it into the next phase of the MCU. In fact, I'm curious on how Marvel will try to produce the next 20 or so movies while half of their characters didn't even survived Infinity War. only time will tell the future of this astonishing and hell-of-a-ride cinematic adventure. will it ever stop, or, to paraphrase Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, going infinity and beyond? you may never know.
