My review for Avengers Infinity War (spoiler free)...it's beyond awesome!


After 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have arrived at this..the moment we have waited for...the arrival of Thanos, the Mad Titan, who is on a quest to gather all six Infinity stones to place in his mighty gauntlet. His goal, to reduce the overpopulation in the universe, he plans to wipe out half it's inhabitants with the snap of his fingers, so that the universe can prosper again. Standing in his way are the mighty Avengers, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther and any other heroes that happen to be around. As voiced by Josh Brolin, Thanos is a marvel creation of CG who looks amazing. Brolin delivers a truly terrifying but also sympathetic performance. His daughters Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillian) are at odds with him and try their best to stop him. The Avengers enter the film first with Thor and Hulk meeting Thanos in space, then the arrival of Thanos Black Order on Earth, first in New York, where they tangle with Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland). Then a throwdown in Wakanda where Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and company team up with Cap (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany). All these moments are fun, exciting and will get your heart pumping. But for my money, my favorite scene has to be the battle on Thanos home planet Titan, between him, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Spider-Man and some of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It is a sight to behold as the gloves come off..literally. One of the fun things to see in this film is the interaction between characters we had never had the chance to see. Iron Man and Dr. Strange trade quips and logic faster than you shake a repulsor blast at. Iron Man also has moments with Star Lord (the lovable Chris Pratt) who also has some funny moments with Thor (Chris Hemsworth). There is so much going on in this film but it never gets too much to handle and it is very well paced. Truly one of the best comic book movies ever made. I've seen it 3 times already :)
My rating: 9.5 out of 10
