Bigger and different than any other movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2018)

Infinity War is the nineteenth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so it makes sense people expect nothing else than the same characters fighting and joking. However, this movie is so much more than that. This isn't just a typical Marvel movie. This movie brings together 23 superheroes and concludes 18 previous installments to lead to the ultimate climax: a battle with the greatest and strongest villain of all time, Thanos (who raises in my opinion to the same height as iconic villains like Darth Vader or Voldemort). Thanos is more than a villain: he is a titan with the sole purpose of making the world a better place, only in the complete wrong way. Josh Brolin delivers an astonishing performance of this character and puts more to him than just a baddy, and makes him to someone who actually cares.
As for the superheroes, Joe and Anthony Russo perfectly managed to give every single one of them a moment to shine. Special credits go to Robert Downey Jr, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Elizabeth Olsen, Chris Hemsworth and Paul Bettany.
The movie gives us not only a ton of humor, but also some memorable though heartbreaking scenes which puts a different tone to the film than all the others.
There is a strong build up with some spectacular action sequences (where the heroes are divided into smaller groups so that every person has his time to shine), and the film ultimately leads to an epic and amazing climax with an unexpected ending. Well done Marvel.
