The Russo Bros are the kings of comic book movie genre! A hat trick!

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2018)

Alright so I'm going to try my best to keep this as a NON-SPOILER REVIEW, as there are many shocking plot twists and surprises and I wouldn't want to ruin that experience for you. Wow! What a ride! This film was everything I wanted it to be! Exciting, thrilling, and beautifully crafted over the course of 10 years and 19 films. Yes, I have waited for this ever since the inception of the MCU back in 2008, but more importantly as someone who read Jim Starlin's Infinity Gauntlet series 17 years ago. It was breathtaking and jaw dropping to see something of this scope come to life on the big screen from the very same comics I read as a child. @therussobrothers did an amazing job balancing the tone of all the characters (comedic and serious tones) and giving every character their spotlight without making it feel too overcrowded or bloated. The action itself in some of the scenes were taken directly from the pages of Hickman's 'Infinity' run couple of years ago which made me really happy to see. Although there were a lot of surprises in the film, the one element that surprised me the most was the amount of emotional weight that the film carried, it really helped develop certain character arcs especially Thanos, and man oh man when Thanos comes on screen, he really steals it! Not only is he frightening and intimidating, but he has a very grounded and philosophical twist to his character that makes you sympathize for him and his surprisingly emotional motivations. Action was great and easy to follow with no shaky cams this time (yaaaaay!), but the overall story and execution was better than Civil War and Winter Soldier (which everyone knows I love to death). In the end this was everything I hoped and wanted to see in an Infinity War film and I really can't wait for Avengers 4 next year! Whatever you do, see this film before someone spoils it for you as there are many idiots going and spoiling it for others who haven't had the time to see it on opening day! Make sure you experience it in IMAX if you have one next to you, the screen is much bigger and visuals look more vibrant and sharp! Oh and there is one post credit scene so stick around after the credits for a treat!
