Review: Avengers: Infinity War (SPOILERS)

“There was an idea, to bring together, a group of remarkable people, to see if we could become something more, so that when they needed us, we could fight the battles, that they never could.”

The movie to end 10 years of the MCU has finally come, and it is one that really doesn’t hold back at all. When Thanos comes to get the Infinity Stones, he lets nothing stand in his way. Avengers: Infinity War is a movie that is everything you wanted to see and also doesn’t hold back on showing how much of a threat Thanos really is the MCU.

WARNING!! SPOILERS AHEAD!! WARNING!! TURN BACK NOW IF YOU DON’T WANT ANY SPOILERS!! WARNING!!!

This movie is an Avengers movie but, its a movie about Thanos, his origin and why he wants the Infinity Stones. We see that Thanos has lost everything and wants to use the stones to recreate his homeworld of Titan. However, this comes at a cost, killing half of the universe. With a heavy price to pay, Thanos shows that he is willing to do anything to get it, and I mean anything. Thanos kills Gamora in order to get the Soul Stone, even when Thanos confesses that she was the only thing he ever loved, that shows that Thanos really is a monster and earns the name Mad Titan.

Now before I talk more about Thanos, I also want to talk about the Black Order or Thanos’s other children. They are cool but they also are really there to act as Mini-Bosses for the Avengers to fight while Thanos is still in space. Although, they are the ones that come to earth to retrieve the other stones for Thanos and we do get to see them in action. The Black Order also looks very cool and they all have different personalities so they can stand out. I personally like Ebony Maw the most because he was the one that actually got stuff done and retrieved some stones for Thanos.

Ebony Maw wants your Silence

Now the Black Order out of the way, let’s talk about the rest of the movie. The story itself is all about Thanos getting the Infinity Stones to put in his Infinity Gauntlet so he can destroy half of the universe. How does he destroy half the universe? With the snap of his fingers! The Avengers try their best to stop Thanos but in the end, Thanos wins and kills half of the universe.

The Avengers are split in half, with some defending Wakanda from the Black Order and the other half fighting Thanos on his homeworld of Titan. Both of these battles are epic and amazing to watch on the big screen. It’s like playing with all of your action figures together and it is just a childhood dream come to life on the big screen, even more so than Justice League (Sorry DC).

All of the heroes in the MCU are in this movie, except for Hawkeye, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Also, with Thanos killing half the universe, we don’t even know if they are still alive or not. We won’t know until the next MCU movie coming out, Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Speaking of heroes dying, a bunch of the core heroes of the MCU fade away into dust:

Bucky, Black Panther, Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Star-Lord, Mantis, Drax, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man all disappear. Also, Nick Fury and Maria Hill fade away in Infinity War‘s end-credits scene. Don’t forget that Thanos already killed Loki and Heimdal at the beginning of the film.

This leaves a very small Avengers team behind:

Captain America, Black Widow, Thor, Bruce Banner, War Machine, Okoye and M’Baku are the only survivors confirmed on Wakanda, with only Tony Stark and Nebula on Titan.

This leaves a very small team for Avengers left in order to try and reverse what Thanos has done. Thanos by the end of the movie has killed half of the heroes, restored Titan and just comes back to his homeworld to sit down and look at the sun.

Avengers: Infinity War is a movie that feels like an event. With all the heroes coming together to stop Thanos is a sight to behold and it really does feel like this is what the MCU building to for the past 10 years. It’s a love letter to the MCU and its heroes that we have come to love over the years.

The acting in this movie is top-notch and everyone in the movie get’s their time to shine. Josh Brolin also does a fantastic job as Thanos and really does a great job of making Thanos stand out from all the other villains in the MCU.

With so many heroes in this movie, it’s hard to mention them all but they all did an awesome job in their roles and it makes it really sad to see some of them die in the end. However, with sequels in the works for some of the heroes, you have a feeling that the ending isn’t permanent and we will have to wait until Avengers 4 to see how the heroes can stop Thanos and reverse what he did.

The Verdict:

Avengers: Infinity War is an exciting, intense, funny and emotional thrill ride that has an ending that will leave you shocked. After being able to think on the ending, I can still say that the movie is an amazing and perfect movie to cap-off 10 years of the MCU. It is just a perfect movie and one that is worth watching again and again, once you can get past the ending that is.

10/10

Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to see Infinity War again so I can enjoy/torture myself with it again.

Take a shot in the face of fear

Paul Bettany Confirms Whether or Not Vision Will Survive Avengers: Infinity War

With one of the Infinity Stones smack in the middle of Vision’s forehead, many fans have feared he’ll be one of the casualties during Avengers: Infinity War.

Luckily, based on what Paul Bettany (who plays Vision) said, we might see Thanos remove the android’s Infinity Stone without killing him. Bettany confirmed he’s returning to Avengers 4 now that it has started filming.

According to Comic Book Movie, here’s what the actor had to say:

It felt like the biggest movie that I’ve ever made and will ever make, and we’ve still got to make the [next] one. It’s fucking crazy! I would come in, often at dawn because of the length of my make-up, and there would just be all of these twinkling lights. It looked like a town, but it wasn’t. It was where all of the trailers were. It’s massive! The call sheets are bananas. When you see the list of cast members, you’re like, ‘How is anybody else making a film in Hollywood, this year? How are they getting films financed? Everybody is in this!’

Then he added some insight about what is like to work in the movies:

[The Russos] are so great. They’ve got so much trust, from the cast and from Kevin Feige and Marvel, in general. They’re incredibly on top of the day, when you show up, and they’re very open to your input and collaboration. They were incredibly relaxed. It was a wonderful, relaxed set that was stress-free. It was a stress-free set.

Some fans have already speculated that Vision might turn human after the stone is removed, we’ll have to wait and see.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Trailer Description Released

A trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity Wart was shown at last weekend’s D23 Expo, and the bad news is: we probably won’t watch it until Thor: Ragnarok comes out.

However, we do have a detailed description of the teaser courtesy of io9 and Marvel’s Agent M.

Check them out:

The text ahead contains spoilers for every MCU movie released to date (including Spider-Man: Homecoming)

We’ll learn more about Thor and the Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok, but the Infinity War trailer opened with the Asgardian being flung against the windshield of the Milano, the ship commanded by Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) from Guardians of the Galaxy. “Get it off!” shouts Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), as though a particularly ugly bug had been smushed there.
Mantis (Pom Klementieff) brings Thor back to life, and he promptly greets out Guardians with an unfriendly, “Who the hell are you?” (To be fair, Star-Lord had just told his fellow Guardians, “This might be dangerous, so let’s put on our mean faces.”) It then seems like Thor joins forces with the Guardians to guide them to Earth, where we see the following things go down, in quick succession:
Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) seems to cut a flaming car in half. It looks like her beau Vision (Paul Bethany) might be trapped nearby, and to judge from their faces, something sad and bad is going down.
“Death follows him like a shadow,” we hear, as Josh Brolin’s ultimate villain Thanos is teased.
Suddenly, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki appears, cutting through flaming wreckage to grab the Tesseract, which holds one of the Infinity Stones. Is this what Scarlet Witch and Vision were trying to prevent?
Next, there’s a glimpse of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker on his school bus. The hair on his arms stands up. How’s that for some trouble-activated spider-sense?
“He’s come to us,” someone says, as some alien ships crash land on a wrecked Earth. A worried Mantis stands with Iron Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, the Hulk, and the other heroes as the aircrafts approach.
“This does put a smile on my face,” intones Thanos, as Gamora (Zoe Saldana) takes in the wreckage of the room kept by the Collector (Benicio del Toro). More Infinity Stones pillaged.
And that’s when Thanos walks through a portal onto Earth — big and hulking and boasting a shit-eating grin. Star-Lord and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) leap into action, harnessing magic and airborne stepping stones. Even Spider-Man swings into action, wearing a cool new suit … perhaps the one teased at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming?
Briefly, we see Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who’s blond now, and Captain America, who’s bearded. Listen, I know the fate of the universe is at stake, but don’t we all feel a little refreshed after spending valuable time on an undercover makeover? Talk to Wonder Woman about that, she knows what’s up.
In the final moments, things get truly heightened. Thanos grabs Thor’s head in his meaty paw and regards it like a grape he’s about to smush. Maybe he saw that scary black-and-white episode of Twin Peaks and wants to practice storming radio stations and breaking open heads?
“You can run from it,” growls Thanos, “but your destiny still arrives.” And then he holds up one hand and seemingly destroys a planet far away in the sky — or, if this scene is taking place on Earth, our freaking moon — and heaves the remains of it at our Avengers in a single shot.

Avengers: Infinity War comes out on May 4, 2018.

First Look at Thanos’ Black Order Revealed at D23

We now know what Thanos’ henchmen will look like!

The Black Order is a group of villains raised and trained by Thanos (Gamora style) to do his dirty work for him.

Take a look at the gang:

The group revealed consists of:

Corvus Glaive: general of the Black Order. He has enhanced strength, speed and durability who uses a bladed pike that can cut through anything and makes him immortal when he holds it.

Ebony Maw: a genius telepath who uses a teleportation device and can control other people’s mind.

Proxima Midnight: Corvus’ wife. She’s an expert on hand-to-hand combat and super strength. Her lance transforms into unavoidable toxic light beams.

Black Dwarf: member of the Black Order who possesses super strength and impenetrable skin.

Does this mean that Gamora and Nebula will encounter some old friends?!

We also got a look at Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet:

Marvel has yet to cast the voices of the members of the Black Order.

Avengers: Infinity War wrapped filming on Friday and now the cast is heading to start production on the untitled Avengers 4.
