The Begining of the End

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2018)

After 18 films in the making it has all lead to this. An epic showdown of cinematic proportions on a scale that will never be replicated. The Russo's dons great job at juggling each band of hero's as they try to stop the mad titan. One of the best directed senes was the first big reveal of the black order in New York. The opening is cold and horrifying letting the audience learn how truly powerful Thanos is with just one stone.
Thanos is an awesome villain that is both powerful and sympathetic. He doesn't have a lady death like in the comics. His motivations are set out and make sense as a whole and Josh Brolin's performance is awesome and in my opinion Oscar worthy.
The supporting cast as well is nothing to scoff at. They all support the main groups in a good way and each getting time to shine. An outstanding performance comes from Paul Bettney who is amazing in the role and plays off Elizabeth Olsen very well and makes their love more real. He in my opinion turns in an amazing performance that again I feel is Oscar worthy. He shows a wide range of emotion that effects the audience. Chris Pratt has an amazing moment with Zoey Zeldana and his duty to the one he loves. There are so many emotionally charged moments that effect the viewer well after you walk out of the theater. Though the ending is a little down for some unprepared viewers it still doesn't detract from the spectacle and scale the movie is on. The film demonstrates how low our heroes can go and the stakes that were there. Even one of the last lines is depressing yet hopeful. The film is a marvel (no pun intended) of cinematic and storytelling spectacle and how to pull off a great 3rd act of your series.
Though sometimes slow and characters lacking in substance and reason for being there it still is a great film that is one part emotional and another a war that lives up with its name.
Final Score:
11/10
