Avengers: Infinity War is the nineteenth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and arguably the most anticipated movie of 2018. The movie deals with Thanos (played by Josh Brolin) trying to collect the infinity stones while the Avengers, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and the Guardians of the Galaxy team up in order to stop him. The movie is well-paced. It's two and a half hours long, and never feels like it. Thanos builds on Marvel's recent streak of great villains. He's someone who truly believes he is the hero of his story, and Brolin's performance adds a lot of necessary heft and menace to the character, but the filmmakers also give him a lot of emotion. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely really do their best to add some emotional weight to the movie. Without giving too much away, the movie really lives up to the "war" aspect of
Infinity War. As much as I truly believe Brolin deserves praise, I don't want to take anything away from the rest of the cast. This is a movie with a lot of characters, and it could have easily felt too overstuffed, and too disjointed. It never really reached that point for me. Most of the cast gets a chance to shine in some way or another. The ending is something that will split people. It honestly worked for me, but I know there are going to be people who will get mad at this. The humor is something that could have easily been a problem, but I honestly felt that a lot of it worked because it comes naturally from the characters and how they would naturally react in that particular situation. Overall,
Avengers: Infinity War worked on pretty much every level, and it does make me wonder what's going to happen in the next
Avengers movie, and how that is going to be achieved.
