This film makes the ever-growing superhero/science fiction film genre extremely proud. This film is remarkable in all facets. The sets, action, special effects, cast and most importantly its immense presentation. Suffice to say- "Infinity War" is cinema's best superhero film, quite possibly one of the best films of the century.
Sibling directors Joe and Anthony Russo are back at it again with crafting another fantastic "Marvel" film. The two make this film stand out as the 19th entry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe- "MCU". It has so much to offer, that includes: action, drama, humor and a riveting score. The Russo Bros., have done it again, and I literally cannot wait for the fourth and final "Avengers" curtain call-due out next year.
We wouldn't have these movies if it weren't possible for the men and women behind our favorite superheroes. The cast who stole our hearts in the first "Avengers" film back in 2012, does it again. The ginormous cast: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Pratt, Hemsworth and Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Gwenyth Paltrow, Peter Dinklage, baddie Josh Brolin, and Tom Hiddleston amd everyone else all part take in bringing everything to the table (the film).
Especially, standing out are Brolin, Vision and the Guardians. They stand out in that they are the shining stars of this film. Rightfully so on Brolin's titan sized Thanos. He is cynical, gargantuan, laced with humor and fashion accessories -(look at his fist). He also has times where he's emotionally hurt and that you somewhat have sympathy for. The Guardians on the other hand, stand out because they are seen in my eyes primarily as the ones who truly make it everything to try and crush the purple Titan. Paul Bettany's Vision is an unexpected star. Seeing that his character is one at the center of it all. Vision is truly a remarkable character in this film.
Not gonna lie, I was overcome with the waterworks throughout the film. From start to finish this film was induced with shocking twists and turns. You'll definitely be as reactionary as I was and animated with reaction during those moments. Leaving the theater, I was shook to my core, that film had seriously messed with my emotions, more than any other film I've seen.
Scoring the massive mash-up is Alan Silvestri. Silvestri, who has previously scored the first "Avengers" film, makes this score anew. With this film and all that it inhabits, Silvestri holds it up to even higher levels.
Destiny has arrived. For over ten years we have seen our favorite superheros in a whole new light. And that light hasn't lost its spark, especially with this film. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll gasp and cheer for your favorites as they conquer evil once more. With as gargantuan as this film is, you expect a whole lost coming. And suffice to say, it delievers. You'll be begging for more once that screen blacks out. "Infinity War" is truly a knock-out-of-the-park home run in terms of movies, that a film so stellar and magnificent can't go unwatched.
