Tag: avengers infinity war

In all honesty, I cannot talk about this movie without bringing spoilers into it. This past weekend I got the privilege to see Avengers: Infinity War not once but twice! I can honestly say that it was blown away both times I saw it.

For those that don’t know and don’t care about spoilers, Avengers: Infinity is the culmination and mega cross over of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Iron Man until now. In this new movie everyone must come together and stop the powerful Titan Thanos from getting all six infinity stones and wreaking havoc across the universe.

Let me just start off by saying that Josh Brolin, killed it as Thanos. That man was on level 100 from start to finish in his movie. In a sense this is essentially Thanos’ movie. He showed his ruthlessness by not only killing half of the Asguardians but killing Heimdall and Loki as well and making Thor watch.  That’s how you know he meant business in this movie.

All of our here’s from Doctor Strange to Iron Man to Captain America to Black Panther all did great in this movie as well and stole the spotlight in their scenes.

The tone of this movie was very well balanced as the shift from humor to dark to sadness felt natural and not forced and it matched with whatever character was in the scene.

Now let’s talk team ups and action sequences. The action scenes in this movie make the fights in Civil War look tame. Every battle was top notch from Doctor Strange using his magic to counter against Ebony Maw’s telekinetic attacks, Team Iron Man using their strategic minds to get the edge on Thanos in Titan to the straight up brawl fest in Wakanda, there was no talk just action through out.

But as stated this movie did bring about several sad scenes and unexpected deaths. As stated before, while Loki’s death was somewhat predictable it was still sad nonetheless as with Thanos killing Gamora to get the soul stone. The one with the worst luck might have been Vision in my opinion. Being killed by the one you love only for Thanos to reverse time and do it himself is down right horrible. Also with Thanos getting all six stone and snapping his fingers, his plan was complete. All those who died with his snap were Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Falcon, Starlord, Drax, Mantis, Scarlett Witch, Groot, Spider-Man, Maria Hill, and Nick Fury.

Things look extremely bleak going into Avengers 4 next year but from what it looks like, this will be the last hoorah for the original MCU Avengers before the new heroes take over. Let’s see how hey manage tofix the mess that Thanos has caused.

Avengers: Infinity War, if you haven’t seen it, I suggest you go as soon as possible, those 10 years were worth the wait for this movie. It’s a definite solid 10 out of 10 for me, let me know what you think!
