It’s very action packed
The humour almost always nails it each time
My interest did not dip once while watching it
And yet, i’m still not sure how I feel about Avengers infinity war
It’s certainly a most brilliant film, and as far as where it ranks in the MCU, I must rank it in the top three
But this many big characters jam packed into one film only proves that it’s very difficult to adequately give every person enough screen time to truly flourish. With this in mind, I would say this film focuses on Tony Stark, Guardians of the galaxy, Thor and of course Thanos
What I found most surprising about Infinity war was the humanity with which they bestowed the apparent villain Thanos with. At first it would appear that his motivation is like any other super villains, to rule the universe and destroy anybody and anything in his path
But as the film progresses we come to learn that, in his own twisted way, Thanos believes he is doing the universe a favour by seeking to wipe out half of all existence within it
Yet he too loves, he too feels pain and he too is motivated by the need that I suppose drives us all, to live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy – it just so happens that his legacy is one of genocide
If I allowed myself to, I could write at length about my experience when watching this film but I think I am still processing
It’s a triumph in so many ways, all praise to the directors: Anthony Russo & Joe Russo, they managed to create a genuinely thrilling story with a vast ensemble cast, allowing for multiple layers of storytelling plot to seamlessly tie-in together
On the other hand, perhaps it just might be too big an undertaking, further validating why it has been divided into two parts
I look forward to the follow up
Be well
