Marvel Delivers Once Again

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2018)

The culmination of a decade worth of planning and preparation that will pay off very well. Continuing in the line of blockbuster movies, Marvel is about to bank in another billion, probably two, and maybe even three with Infinity War. The movie pits the world's great heroes against the universes greatest villain. And it doesn't disappoint.
There have been many series that have culminated into a crappy finale, mainly looking at you Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies. Avengers didn't fall into the money grab hole and instead continued on their self-titled, and self-filled track to a hit. A key reason is it was able to balance probably the largest, most-expensive, and most famous cast in film history. The support-characters who fight for screen time in this film, are primetime actors who would be the star in any other movie.
The next thing was the villain and henchmen. They made the evil people evil. At points in the film, I was excited to see Thanos henchmen take on the avengers. Not to see the avengers do damage, but to see just how powerful and skilled these followers are. And on top of this, Thanos was portrayed in a such a way to where, we all understood where he was coming from. He wasn't turned into a DC villain where he is just some evil bad guy we've never heard of coming to destroy the world. Instead, Thanos was a villain that is "evil" to the core, in the earthly human sense, but at the same time he is a man of morals and passions that are leading him down his path. He even takes chances and risks and sacrifices to get there. It shows how mass murder isn't easy, even when he has all of the power in the universe.
At the end of the movie, which really is just a Part one of two. We are left with really their most important goal, and that is anticipation for the movie next year. With a couple of movies separating us from the next sequel, anticipation is building even more. This movie won't be featured in the Oscars, but it will definitely be the movie of the year, and probably the most memorable of the decade. Purely due to the amount of work that has gone into this MCU over the past decade and the success that they have had.
