Avengers Infinity War [2018] - Cinematic Opulence !!


When Kevin Feige brought in Russo brothers to direct Captain America: The Winter Soldier, no one anticipated them to be handling the holy grail of Marvelverse, the Infinity War.

Synopsis: To balance the universe from desolation, Thanos aims to snuff away half of its lifeform, which he believes can be done if he yields all the six infinity stones viz., reality, time, power, space, soul & mind. However, his imposing plan gets stalled by earth’s mightiest heroes ‘The Avengers’ & ‘Guardians of Galaxy’.

What MCU had been lacking for so long, was a perfect villain. Loki did impose his mischief charisma in his earlier outings like in ‘The Avengers’ or ‘Thor’ but it never was as intimidating & terrifying as Josh Brolin’s exhibition of Thanos. He not only nailed the character but demonstrated what a perfect nemesis can be, which not just dictates audience but admiration. Of course, his minions, the members of Black Order were no less daunting, look out for the character Ebony Maw flawlessly depicted by Tom Vaughan-Lawlor.

Kudos for putting in so many characters & yet making it perfectly balanced with coherent plot. Each member gets his & her share to shine. The action sequences were prodigious, something which we now are acquainted with & expect nothing short of spectacular from such franchise.

Infinity War has ventured into an uncharted path, where very few movies will ever dare to do; stakes were high for Anthony & Joe Russo, as it could have gone either way as it did with last year’s Justice League. It took a decade of meticulous planning of interlaced stories to finally unleash the wrath of mad titan. Did it pay off? Hell yeah, what did you expect! Infinity War is not just a movie but a cinematic phenomenon, ready to awe & shock the reactionary followers of MCU franchise & general audiences alike. Be ready to be blown away. 

Oh, I saw Tyrion Lannister, good lord did I just spoil it #@*!

My Verdict : Highly Recommended - 9/10

  1. Very impressive,the first half was absolute great with the introduction of the heroes and saviours but second half was full of panics as Thanos was approaching towards achieving the last stone,he sacrificed his beloved daughter's soul for his achievement.The ending was total distress for the loss of so many saviours,rather pathetic.
