Highly anticipated movies very rarely live up to the hype. Marvel has been building to Avengers: Infinity War for the better part of a decade, and has not shied away from saying this is the moment we’ve been waiting for, doubling down that it would lead to an ultimate conclusion in this run of 19 films (so far). Though they did initially downplay this as a two-parter, Infinity War most certainly does conclude open-ended and ready for next year’s big finale.
To avoid spoilers, all I’ll say is this is the start of the big conclusion all of us fans have been looking forward to. All of the characters introduced so far (with only a couple exceptions which are quickly explained away) are present for the big battle. If there are any qualms, it is that with so many on-screen figures, their individual stories aren’t the focus; instead, we gear up for the ultimate showdown between the Avengers and the evil Thanos, who is set on gathering the Infinity Stones to give him the power to instantly kill half the population of all worlds with the snap of his fingers.
This movie is a roller coaster ride in action and emotion from start to finish. Come ready to be shocked and possibly upset, but trust in what Marvel has done, as they continue to make tremendously enjoyable films.
