Movie review: Avengers Infinity War

*walks out of movie theater*

...

Holy S***...! What a movie...


Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

We've seen plenty of Marvel Cinematic Universe films that we've been anticipated what we like to see, some are welcoming like "Iron Man", "Avengers", "Black Panther" and "Thor Ragnarok". But others didn't get attention like "Thor: Dark World", "Ant-Man" or even "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2".

But then... The time has yet to come that after watching "Civil War", which is like our biggest request, we have finally got one big story that we like to see on the big screen with... With two parts to be exact.

"Avengers: Infinity War" is a 2018 Marvel Superhero film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, produced by Kevin Feige (yet again) and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

What we've heard about Infinity War, it was originally to be titled "Part 1" for this year and "Part 2" for 2019. But they had to changed the title simply called "Avengers Infinity War", while the second one, we'll save find out next year. Not to mention, with a big combination casts of Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy is a one helluva payment for budget, with over 320 million dollars, which it maybe considered as the most expensive MCU film ever made.

So, with all that said, will this movie holds up for a huge anticipation of MCU film, or is it gonna be the biggest disappointment film that its not worth of huge budget?

Well, lets find out...

The Story
It was sometimes taking place after Ragnarok, our Asgard heroes are powerless that Thor is all alone and the space stone was taken by our big nemesis, Thanos. While Bruce Banner (aka Hulk) was taken to Earth, he was in warning about Thanos to Dr. Strange, Iron Man and Spider-man, which they're about to call other members of the Avengers to working together. However, they're separated for their defense of infinity stones. Although not only they're working together, but also teaming up with Guardians of the Galaxy. So, its up to them to stop Thanos plan before he'll snap for destruction.

I find the story is faithful to figure out to keep the infinite stones safe from Thanos, but separated for plot elements. Like where Stark, Strange, Star-Lord, Spider-man and Drax going in different world to keeping Dr. Strange safe, Thor, Rocket and Groot find to build a new weapon for Thor and even Rogers, Black Widow, Wanda Maximoff, Sam Wilson and James Rhode going to Wakanda with Black Panther to keeping wounded Vision safe for healing. But another subplot that it has, is the relationship between Gamora and Thanos, which its obvious that Gamora was adopted by our villain from few years ago before she has another sister Nebula, i find it touching, but probably risky.

Speaking of risky, the third and final act is probably the most shocking i've ever watched, but i won't talking about it. But if i will, its gonna be pretty upset for all of you MCU fans out there, like i lost all my words at the end. Which i understand the reason why we're gonna wait for the second part. I mean, its like "Star Wars The Force Awakens", but ten times more in my opinion. But the downside is that it was a very long movie with two in a half hours to watch. And no, i wasn't in pain while watching like constipation.

The story itself is rather pretty good to follow the comic, but you think its too long to going on before the shocking third and final act?

The production
As always, the production itself is always pretty damn good to watching.

For starter, it obvious the visuals are pretty good to look at, nice quality and stuff. But one thing that i was appreciated is the different worlds/lands. Aside of places that we've been before like "Knowhere" and Wakanda, the other places like titans, Vormir and Nidavellir are pretty cool, because we always like to see other worlds outside Earth and previous places. They did a good job oc other worlds's concept, while some places are obvious in CG or even traditional filming.

The costumes and appearances are rather above average that some i really like, but some didn't work for me. Some are pretty cool like Spider-man's new gears, Iron Man's armor, Hulkbuster, Captain America and probably Thanos. But others not so much like Black Widow, which i don't think having blond hair will be a good fit.

But of course, the action scenes are pretty good to watch, bu this in this movie, it goes mixed between lighter and darker. But one action scene that i love, its the war in Wakanda on third act, but i won't tell what happened there.

The presentation of the movie itself is well-produced for great concepts, fun action and probably an above average designs of characters appearance/costumes.

The characters
Though im sure that a lot of you guys are probably know about our heroes.

For the Avengers, you got Iron Man/Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr) who's a genius billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, Captain America/ Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans) who's a strong leader of the group and veteran solder of WW2, Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (played by Scarlett Johansson) who's a trained spy of S.H.I.E.L.D., Spider-Man/Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) who's a teenage hero and apprentice of Iron Man, Hulk/Bruce Banner (played by Mark Ruffalo) who's a genius scientist that made him into big mean green of anger, Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth), the god of thunder and currently king of Asgard and so much more on the list to talk about.
Or even familiar with Guardians of the Galaxy like Star-Lord/Peter Quill (played by Chris Pratt) the hybrid human/celestial and leader of his group, Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) who's a engineer/bounty hunter with guns, Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) who's a humanoid tree with Rocket, Gamora (played by Zoe Saldana) who's an adoptive daughter of Thanos, Drax (played by Dave Bautista) who's a warrior with vengeance and Mantis (played by Pom Klementieff) who's an alien with  empathy powers.

But like i said, there are are so many heroes to talk about on the list, but most of them has changing, like Iron Man becoming somewhat concerned of the future from Thanos, Vision (played by Paul Bettany) who's in line of danger from his mind stone, Black Widow becoming somewhat darker from Civil War or even Groot became adolescent.

Though there other villains like Cull Obsidian, Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive. They are not bad.

But the one that we always like to talk about, is Thanos himself (played by Josh Brolin, who's also currently playing as Cable in Deadpool 2, talk about double role in 2018), while he appeared as a small appearances like Guardians of the Galaxy and Age of Ultron, but his role in the movie was pretty damn good. Not only he's portrayed as a threatening villain, but he also has a sympathetic figure, due to his daughter Gamora, which is nice to reunite, but like i said, it will be a complicated story for them. But of course, Josh kicks ass his role, he did a good job as a villain.

While its nice to see plenty of heroes working together, but downside is that most of them what we like are killed off too early, but i won't tell who's the body count, i find it shocking, but probably unfair. I mean, we like to see some heroes give more chance before dying like maybe in third act or something, but thats just my nitpick that i don't want to expose. another downside is that we don't know who are we root for, was it Iron Man, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy or Thor? I know they're separated for their plans, but again, its just me.

The characters are once again, likable to watch, especially for the all-star casts of previous MCU films.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall...  I have no words to say about it, it was...   A shockingly good movie that i can tell. With pretty good story, great presentation, fun characters, epic actions, awesome villain, fun humor moments and the final act is shocking as hell. Even though i have a problem like some characters that we like are killed off or even confusion rooting of hero. Despite my problem, this is a MCU film that it has to be seen and believe for the big fat war against Thanos. Like, i recommend to watch as possible without have a shocking feeling. Although im aware some people are probably dislike the movie because what happened at the third act or something, but thats just their opinion.

So, was it the best MCU film ever? Probably yeah, along with "Black Panther". And is it the best movie ever? Well, i don't know, because they're other films that we have to wait which one that it deserves to be the best for my future list, in other words, we have to wait for them.

I was thinking to give a 10, but i had to going down, with a 9/10. Again, this is a film that has to be seen and believe for the battle two group of heroes against Thanos.

 So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.
