Recently I had the pleasure of seeing the newest installment of the “Avengers” series: “Infinity War”, in theaters. I had heard very good reviews of the movie beforehand, so I was very excited to see it and had high expectations. Long story short, leaving the theater I was nothing short of amazed at the film. The film is very long, with an excellent plot. The plot revolves around the avengers, the guardians of the galaxy, and more trying to stop Thanos from getting all of the infinity stones, because if they are all in his possession, with the snap of a finger he can kill half the population of the universe, and that is his plan. First, from an objective perspective, the film was spectacular. The long, star-studded cast consisted of Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Benedict Cumberbatch, Bradley Cooper, Tom Hiddleston, Scarlett Johansson, Josh Brolin, and more. Objectively, every single one of these actors/actresses played their role perfectly, and displayed immense skill at what they do. In addition to the skilled cast, the special effects were amazing. Much of the movie, due to the clearly fictional qualities of it, took place on many fictional planets, in space, or just had a lot of fake “stuff” in it. Josh Brolin’s character, Thanos, was almost completely made of CGI. However, due to the skilled special effects crew behind film, all of these things looked very real and really made the film more entertaining, and supported the argument for objective greatness.
In addition to how good the movie was objectively, it was subjectively one of the best movies I have seen recently, and possibly even my favorite Marvel installment yet. One of the many things I enjoyed about it was the humor that was sprinkled throughout the film. I think the amount of humor they added was a perfect amount, because it was not too much so that it took away from the action and serious tone of the movie, but it was just enough to get a good laugh from the audience every now and then. One example of humor that I laughed at was when Peter Parker was talking to Tony Stark about the guardians of the galaxy, and asked him, “Uh, what exactly is it that they do?”, to which Gamora chimed in to reply, “Kick names, take ass,” before smiling with a very oblivious look on her face. This example was just a small piece of the scene, but it really added a nice piece of humor for it which I really enjoyed. Another subjective opinion of mine that I have about the film is about the ending. Before I had seen the film, I had heard mixed reviews about the ending in particular. Some people said they absolutely hated it, but some people said they liked it. The film ends with Thanos defeating almost all of the Avengers, before Thor came in and stabbed him in the chest. Thanos seems very wounded, until he says, “Should’ve gone for the head.” He then snaps his fingers, which starts the end, where half the population is wiped. Half the population means about half the Avengers, as many characters start to pretty much fade away to nothing, including black panther, spiderman, and more. As bad as it is for the bad guy to win at the end of the movie, I enjoyed it because it was very unique. Many movies these days are very predictable, and the good guy almost always wins. Although I see nothing wrong with this, I do like to see a change in ways, with the villain prevailing against the heroes, because this makes for a more interesting sequel. This is because now, in the next film, the remaining avengers and guardians are going to have to find a way to reverse the damage done and defeat Thanos, so I am really looking forward to the next film. I really enjoyed “Avengers: Infinity War”, and I give it a GOOD GOOD rating.
