Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Fantasy/Sci Fi 10/10
WOW.... one word description is WOW! I
have already watched it 2 times and am going to watch it a few more.
I have not watched all the Marvel movies so I have to add Guardians
of the Galaxy and Dr Strange to inform myself of their back stories.
This movie was incredibly awesome. It brought absolutely every part
of the franchise together (The Avengers/ IronMan/ Dr Strange/ Thor/
Guardians and Black Panther) to fight the ultimate force known as
Thanos who is in search of the Infinity Stones to make his gauntlet
the most powerful thing on Earth and any other planet. I did do some
research to find out what was the back story of Thanos and what
direction the next Avengers Infinity War saga could take. Please note
= I am not a comic book reader so I wanted to know where Thanos came
from and why he was so desperate to destroy and control everything.
From my research I learned that the movie is only taking parts from
the comics, there are no direct ties to the story lines, therefore
making the next movie completely unknown as to what direction the
franchise will take it. Majority of the characters in the movie were
in the comic but of course the outfits and stuff are way better in
the movie. The CGI and other computer generated things relating to
the Hulk and Thanos were totally mind blowing. For Thanos, I thought
Josh Brolin did a great job and best of all you got to see his eyes
in the Thanos character. I find character's eyes are very important
bc when you start putting post and other items in the eyes to change
things it often takes away from the emotion that can be expressed in
the eyes. The Hulk was the best I have ever seen him and while he
turns into the Green Smashing Machine you could definitely see Mark
Ruffalo's human qualities partially shine through which is a huge
positive compared to the other Hulk movies. Thor comes in with his
wise cracks, StarLord is dropping wise cracks (which if you never
have seen Guardians, it's like Chris Pratt being his nerdo self).
There are several parts in the movie that will have yourself
giggling. The dialogue was written very well and the zingers really
gave it that Avengers/Thor franchise the continuity of the other
movies. ScarJo of course has a different hair style, I don't think
she has kept the same hair style in any of the movies (this is
related to her being on the run and not wanting to keep the same
look). A continuity issue would be with Wanda and Vision. In Age of
Ultron you meet Wanda and she has an Eastern European accent,
discussions conclude that Wanda is on the run and trying to blend in
so losing a distinguishing accent would be necessary. (There are
other characters that experience these 'blend in with society
measures' such as Steve Rogers = Captain America). The franchise has
been going strong for 10 years, it's bound to happen that little
things like that, that most people wouldn't pick up on, are going to
evaporate. Even still, GREAT/FANTASTIC/AMAZING movie for so many
reasons. 10/10 is well earned for this type of film.
