Well, I might be the last person to see this movie and review it but better late than never. This post will barely be on time, my own personal schedule for this blog but it will be up. I actually was surprised at how well I avoided spoilers and even what I had heard turned out to be wrong or misunderstood.
Infinity War is the second to last movie in the Avengers, at least for now, and finds the heroes still at odd after Captain America Civil War. [Should I say there will be spoilers or has enough time passed?] Each of the Avengers has followed their own path, some were seen in other movies (sadly which I had not seen). Now I actually realized that I need to watch other movies in the MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe]. Not only does it pick up what appears to be immediately after Thor Ragnarok but also includes Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and the Gradians of the Galaxy (all movies I had not watched).
The movie tells the story of how Thanos is trying to “save” the universe by destroying half of all living beings. This villain will once again unite the Avengers, for the most part, in an alliance with many of the Marvel heroes in an attempt to save the world. This movie does not develop characters but continues on from each movie preceding it to create conflict, climax, and resolution. Character development is not the point of this installment in the MCU, with each character coming in preestablished and acting accordingly. Predictably Ironman and Captain America are leaders, with others following them. Thor acts to save and avenge his people, while Spider-man idolizes and follows Ironman (even when told to return home). Each has a role and completes it as expected. That is except Bruce Banner/Hulk (at least without having seen Thor Ragnarok) it seems that unexpectedly Bruce can no longer summon/turn into Hulk leaving the team in a lurch more than once, even seemingly costing them battles. Overall, the movie is great, I recommend seeing it if you haven’t. I enjoyed the story and wished for more, which is coming. Many questions remain hopefully to be answered in the next Avengers.
