The Hype Is Real!

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2018)

I've been waiting for this movie to come out for forever now. I was afraid it was going to be terrible; if it was, then that would be a surprise. Marvel movies have been at the top for years now, and this is the peak. I was so excited to see all these characters meet for the first time and take down Thanos. For me, this is the best way to introduce the Infinity War story. There was so much characters and subplots, and there was no pacing issues and the story didn't get lost in itself. This movie could've been three hours plus, but putting it all together in two hours thirty minutes is a real achievement. I was never bored too; there was action right in the beginning to the end. I know a lot of the non-comic moviegoers are going to hate this movie, because they had no idea that Thanos would kill everyone, luckily I knew what was going to happen. I think it was a hard decision for Marvel to take this direction; due to the criticism of the naive moviegoers, salute to Marvel. The thing is, if Marvel never explained all of the characters, then this could've ended up as a failure. We knew all of the characters and plots. Marvel explained every bit to the audience through multiple movies. Marvel took their time to explain and not confuse the audience. DC didn't do that with Justice League, there was no hype for that, because there were no "Multiple movies".
Story: 10/10
There are six Infinity Stones, each stone was explained throughout every Marvel movie (Excluding the X-Men universe). We knew everything there has to be known about the Infinity Stones and the subplots, because of the "Multiple movies". This movie is subplot galore, and a lot of movies suffer from that, but this movie doesn't. All the subplots made the Marvel universe more interesting and exciting. For anyone who doesn't fully understand the plot, Thanos has to collect six Infinity Stones from around the universe, if he gets it, then goodbye to the superheros, and that's what happens in this movie. Most of the superheros are gone, it's up for the rest to end Thanos. There was no pacing issues, as I said before. I was never confused of what was happening; the plot stayed on its tracks the entire movie. We also saw Thanos collect each Infinity Stone, except for one. I liked seeing Thanos collect all these Infinity Stones while seeing the superheros band up together, it really builds up the the climax. Overall, the plot stayed steady, there wasn't too many plot holes, the story is action packed, fun, and exciting.

Characters: 10/10
I loved all of the characters. Each one had their own movie to star in, which made them even more exciting to see them team up. For me, Thanos was perfect. They made Thanos strong and "Merciless". Thanos was such a good villain because he didn't fail to kill superheros, and that's what he did in this movie. If a villain managed to do nothing, then he's a bad villain, but Thanos managed to complete his mission. Every character was interesting, and they had their own part to play in this movie. Each character and setting was explained so perfectly in this movie, and in other Marvel movies. One of the newer characters is Eitri (Peter Dinklage). Peter Dinklage was the perfect choice for Eitri. Dinklage is such a good actor; he can really play any role. I would also like to see Eitri join the rest of the Avengers to end Thanos, that would be great. Since there's so much characters in a two hour thrity minute movie, some characters don't get that much screen time. I wanted to see more Black Panther, he was only helpful at the end of the movie. Overall, every character had their own role to play in the story, Thanos was perfect in this movie, but some characters didn't get that much screen time than others.
Action: 10/10
A lot of long movies like, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Blade Runner 2049 suffer from one important issue; the boredom. A lot of long movies feel long because there isn't enough action to keep the audience satisfied, but Avengers: Infinity War had no problem. None of the characters had to be explained and none of the major plots had to be explained, it was all action. This movie really used the power of CGI, and there was no problem. Sometimes having a CGI villain can ruin the villain itself, but the voice acting by Josh Brolin was good enough to make this CGI villain believable. The climax of the movie is one of the strong parts of this movie. Seeing most of the superheros work together for the first time is like rewatching the climax of Avengers (2012). But not all of the superheros were fighting the alien army. The other superheros were fighting Thanos. Overall, there was constant action, the CGI was on point, but I expected a slightly better final fight.
Overall, Avengers: Infinity War was perfect for me. I loved the story, the characters, and the action. I was afraid that Marvel would do something wrong, but everything was perfect. I really hope Marvel can keep up with the good work, but Venom scares me. Venom, in my opinion doesn't look that good for a Marvel movie, and I really want this Marvel hot streak to continue. There is one minor issue; there wasn't enough Hulk. I wanted to see Hulk in the final battle, but he was just in the Hulkbuster suit, which is ironic. Avengers: Infinity War was funny too, which isn't surprising. I strongly recommend Avenger: Infinity War, it's the Perfect Marvel movie, with lovable characters, laughs, and the constant action.
