Avengers: Infinity War is a project that Marvel has put many of its resource and ambition in, and it did not disappoint us or them. After ten years of many movies, the final we all waiting for has come. Infinity War, the movie that has a tone of famous heroes in the MCU come together to fight against a bigger threat, or you could also call it the most star-studded movie of all times. With the success of Black Panther, Infinity War has become one of the most highly expected movies of the year. Infinity War has been building up for very long, many have even watched all movies that Marvel has to offer, and for Thor: Ragnarok or Iron Man, they would have to sit through Avenger: Age of Ultron or Iron Man 2 and 3. For many dedicated fans that have followed the Marvel Universe loyally, Infinity War is the moment that they all wanted. Infinity War is one of the movies to look forward to. Last weekend, my family and I went to the movie theaters to watch it, it was completely full and we had to wait 2 hours to watch the movie. Many people are very giddy toward the movie, the action is awesome, the plot is well written; the Russo brothers made something that transforms from comic to the big screen magnificently, we witness the comeback, and the entrance of heroes that stole our breath away in it. Something about the movie gives us a spark, a feeling like when you see them for the first time and it makes you admire them. People have many things to said about the movie, my friend Tony and Daniel said that:” The movie was awesome.” My father and brother said that:” It’s a good movie, but not as good as Black Panther.” But, practically everyone I ask like the movie. One thing that should be revealed is that this is not the whole story. Yes, that means Marvel lied. This had originally been slated to be the first part of a two-part main story, but then that changed and the studio insisted that no, this would be a full piece. This is only the beginning;the fallout of the happenings here will be felt across all of the films to come until we get whatever they decide to call the back-half of this one. Every time I start to wonder if they’ve hit peak saturation with the superhero genre (four films this year), they come out with films like Black Panther and Infinity War, and sell me on it once again .I look forward to what happens next.
