Defied expectations

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2018)

After the slog that was Avengers: Age of Ultron, I was firmly convinced that Infinity War would follow in the same path - a boring, predictable, CGI-filled mess. But there is a reason why you should give all movies a chance. I thought the LEGO Movie looked stupid at first, but it was a welcome breath of fresh air. The same applies to Infinity War.
Whether it's the acting, the story, or the surprise deaths of Gamora and the victory of Thanos, this movie firmly placed the MCU in cinema history. I felt this movie was stunning in its approach and felt that this movie restored my faith entirely in the MCU, especially with Black Panther.
Also, the movie may be 149 minutes long, but they will fly by in this rollercoaster of a blockbuster.
This movie "only" gets an 8 because the movie has too many characters, making it hard to follow. Also, the comedy felt a bit forced, especially away from the GotG parts.
Despite those minor faults, this movie will certainly succeed in surprising and enthralling you - unless you've read this review.
