Avengers: Infinity War Review NO SPOILERS!!!

Avengers: Infinity War.

The Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe. - IMDB.

This is the culmination of Marvel's MCU building over the last 10 years, this outing is where every character's story is tethered together, this is where it comes to head-the confrontation with Thanos, the Mad Titan, who is in desperate search for the Infinity Stones, to achieve a goal no one else in the Galaxy has the will to pursue. This groundwork that has been laid, puts the Avengers, a team built on Nick Fury's promise to bring a group of remarkable people together to protect the Earth from threats both home and abroad in a difficult position. A couple years after the events of Captain America: Civil War, most of the Avengers are estranged as a resulting cause, these heroes must find a way to stop a threat that might be their end if they do not put their differences aside.

10 years. Over 18 movies. A special thank you to all of the fans.

The Russo Brothers do a good job crafting Thanos, his complex philosophy as a villain aligning it with his evolution as a character in pursuit of a singular goal no matter the cost to the universe, even himself. The movie helps you understand him, even if you are not invested in his methods to achieve this aim. In other words, it is essentially a movie about Thanos. there isn't any hand-holding for viewers who haven't seen the previous movies in the franchise (Infinity War kicks off with quite a pace), there is so much to show but has been successfully squeezed into 150 minutes.

Note that there are a lot of plot holes but the story wouldn't have worked without them if they were to tell the story intended convincingly. Sometimes the sub plots stray at times, but this can't be helped as so many events are unfolding simultaneously. However, The Children of Thanos, just recently introduced, had barely anytime to be properly developed as characters, seeing as they had a long history with Thanos himself.

The end result is a successful brew of prerequisite ingredients needed to create an experience that transcends expectations. Forget any preconceived notion you have about what you would expect to see and go in there with an open mind, what really matters is how you feel when you walk out. 9/10.

Miscellaneous
Easter Eggs and references to the comics and other movies in the franchise are aplenty.

There is a post-credit scene, so sit tight.

At this rate we are showing no signs of superhero movie fatigue.
