Marvel’s: Infinite Reviews
The other night I had the opportunity of sitting down with my brothers and dad and watching maybe the most analyzed and hyped up movie of 2018, Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War”. I’ve seen the movie a couple of times but this time watching it I was able to analyze the movie a lot better and was able to take mental notes. My family and I are all caught up with every Marvel movie so we are able to understand backstories and such and discuss how things in the universe worked in the movie. “Infinity War” was also one of Stan Lee’s last works until he passed away unfortunately early last month. Although he is gone, the universe and stories he made will forever live on.
The thing that stood out the most in this film cinematically were the special effects and CGI (computer generated imagery). Marvel has always been phenomenal with their ways of computer imaging, but for the Avengers series they always seem to pull out all the stops. The main villain of the entire movie, Thanos, played by Josh Brolin was computer generated the entire movie. Of course Josh Brolin was the face and voice of Thanos but I don’t believe he was really 8’2”. Josh Brolin did a great job as well as most of the crew. Chris Evans as Captain America and Chris Hemsworth as Thor had some of their strongest performances. The change of settings throughout the movie was also different compared to most Marvel movies. Everyone meeting together in Wakanda, a newer location in the Marvel universe was different than most movies, especially in the Avengers movie line because the characters for the most part stay in one location throughout the movie. Objectively this movie earns a GOOD rating from me.
The Avengers trying to save half of earth’s population by an 8 foot, seemingly unbeatable villain that the script writers do a very good job making the audience hate, is very stressful. The thing Marvel does so well with their movie is get the audience involved in the relationships between the heros, so when Thanos snaps his fingers (not gonna spoil what that means even though I can guarantee everyone reading this knows exactly what happens when Thanos snaps his fingers) the audience is sad with the characters because the bonds that people have watched over the years are being broken. Although the you may feel sad with the characters, my personal favorite part of the movie was seeing all the new heroes and characters from newer movies such as Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman, fighting alongside the original avengers such as Captain America, Thor and Ironman. It was a collision of all the Marvel movies we know and love and that is the main factor that made the film so enjoyable for me. The subjective view of this movie deserves a GOOD rating for me as well.
I hope I was able to bring in new points of analyzation for this movie to all the readers because this movie has been reviewed time and time again, but I tried to put a different spin on it to be more original and point out ways this movie hasn’t been reviewed on. The film itself receives a GOOD GOOD rating from me and definitely made it on to my top 10 movies of 2018 that I saw. Can’t wait for what 2019 films have to bring!
Great voice in here, Will! I knew it was you before I even got to the end. Keep pushing the organization in your writing. You're stuck with one giant paragraph to do most of your evaluating, so split that into more specific paragraphs (with more defined PURPOSES). Would like to see some theme evaluated in here as well. Great crediting/context. Don't get stuck in the subjective-- it's okay to have favorites, but this review should evaluate objective quality of the film.
