Avengers: Infinity War

The culmination of ten years with over a dozen and a half films, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been rocked by the events shown in Avengers: Infinity War. Thanos travels all over the universe in search of the Infinity Stones to fit them in and use the Infinity Gauntlet so as to wipe out half of existence in order to balance out the universe. He attacks Thor and his people right after Thor: Ragnarok, sacrifices his greatest love, fights several of the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy in his own planet, and invades Wakanda. The cast for this film is huge as it has most of the cast members from most of the past films, with some exceptions that are explained right away, and they all do a good job at not outshining each other and providing equally good performances. With the Russo brothers replacing Joss Whedon as the directors of an Avengers film, they provide the same feel and tone as the films they previously did. Even though the film is over two and a half hours it actually feels longer due to so many events happening and how seamless one scene goes from another and that hopefully the next one will be even longer to capture just how epic it will be due to how such an incredible but heartbreaking ending the film had. Infinity War has the perfect mix and use of comedy, drama, tragedy, and excitement and lays the ground for various changes to the future of the MCU. Even though not all of the characters get to meat each other, the ones that do all form really fun team ups. Thanos, as played by Josh Brolin, is so compelling as a villain and despite knowing what he plans to do you almost agree with his methods as he doesn't do it to rule all over existence or wants revenge, but does it to prevent what he sees as a greater catastrophe. Both the ending and post credit scenes are just as important since they foreshadow a greater scope for the next films. Over all: 100%
