Movie Review: Avengers: Infinity War


Everything has led up to this moment.

For the past decade we've been treated to a historic cinematic superhero journey of epic proportions - starting with Robert Downey Jr. putting on his armored suit and becoming Iron Man; Chris Hemsworth lifting that mighty uru hammer Mjolnir as Thor and introducing us to the kingdom of Asgard; Chris Evans emerging as the finest Super Soldier hero the world has ever known and wielding the shield as Captain Americ; And inevitably the gathering of Earth's Mightiest Heroes together in one solid team-up film in "The Avengers" that literally opened the door to new possibilities. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has truly been quite the ride... And now it faces its ultimate test with the arrival of Thanos and his quest to gather the Infinity Stones in "Avengers: Infinity War".


In other words - this is THE film celebrating 10 YEARS of the MCU, as well as all the heroes we've come to know and follow with their respective storylines finally converging in this event that threatens the universe as we know it. Together with the rest of the world, we've all waited for ten long years for things to come together like this, and to see characters like Doctor Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy interact with Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the rest of the Avengers is quite the spectacle. Years of patience and perseverance paid off, and Kevin Feige and his team from Marvel Studios deserve all the credit and accolades they get for making this entire thing possible.


After seeing the film a couple of times, I can honestly say that everything here will shake you to the core. We've been so used to our heroes coming out of any situation unscathed... But they've never faced a threat like Thanos - and he is very much an unstoppable force that will test our heroes AND the audience as well as you watch this two and a half hour flick directed by The Russo Brothers. Again, EVERYTHING has led up to this moment, and here is my review of "Avengers: Infinity War".

Naturally, this may contain SPOILERS, but "Thanos Demands Your Silence", so that's a fair warning and I will go light with the reveals.
