Overall...

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2018)

Infinity War is a movie that knocks it out of the ballpark. It's comedic and heartfelt, action and adventure, and it sets up Thanos as a really interesting villain, one who actually loves and cares. In his attempts to get the Soul Stone, when Thanos is required to sacrifice someone he loves, he cries and mourns after he sacrifices Gamora. Most villains are thought of to be cruel and heartless, but Thanos truly believes that what he is doing is right, and he can sway the audience to his side. Was really disappointed to see Rocket as the only Guardian alive at the end of the movie, but I don't think it is really 'the end' for the Avengers turned to ashes. Doctor Strange told Tony that out of all the outcomes, there was one that would involve them winning against Thanos. Before Strange dies, he tells Tony that, "It had to be done" hinting that Dr Stange knew this was going to happen and it was why he gave the stone over to save Tony's life, so he could set them on the path of winning. Definitely hyped up for the next one, though fingers crossed it won't be so dark.
