Rating: Very Good.
Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, directors of “Captain America: Civil War” bring “Avengers: Infinity War” the third part of the franchise that brings entertaining results.
The movie centers again in the Avengers: Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Nataha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) who will face a new threat in the figure of Thanos (Josh Brolin) an intergalactic despot from Titan who is in search of all the six Infinity stones that control the universe.
Now The Avengers will be in a race against time to stop Thano´s malicious plan that will definitely put the entire humanity at stake and they will do so with the help of Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), T´Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel).
Hopefully all The Avengers and the rest of the super heroes will try to save the planet once again from Thanos, who has other plans on controlling humanity.
“Avengers: Infinity War” is definitely a movie that entertains and both Anthony and Joe Russo directed their most ambitious movie to this date and both of them will be back for the fourth film, which is set to be released next year.
Both of them had an interesting challenge in their hands due to the success that Joss Whedon had in his previous two films “The Avengers” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron”. This by far is superior than “Age of Ultron” and does deliver.
Compared to the other two films this one has more humor in it and this is a very good element. I found it very original to see all the marvel super heroes in this film and the production value of this film as always was very impressive.
The screenplay written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely was very good. I liked how both writers work in their scenes and the fact that in each one you see the super heroes separately until the end where they are all together.
I did like this idea but the only issue I had with “Avengers: Infinity War” was the length of the picture.
Maybe it´s because of the element that I just mentioned was the reason that it was too long but I still feel that the Russo brothers still could have delivered a movie with a shorter length.
This has always been an issue with the Marvel movies but I understand why it is there. That doesn´t necessarily mean that it has to be like this so it could be good.
I have mentioned in the past that Marvel Studio films have really impressed in terms of their narrative and here was no different.
The visual effects were very good in this film and I liked the fact that once the movie ends you want some more despite of the length of the film.
The ending took me completely by surprise and it was unexpected. It does work and unfortunately for Avengers fans they will have to wait for another year to the next chapter.
Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and company are always a delight to see in this kind of movies and they form a very good chemistry.
Josh Brolin plays a great villain in Thanos. He gives so much intensity to this character as most of the roles that he plays and I cannot wait to see him as Cable in “Deadpool 2”.
Again the Russo brothers made a very entertaining film that is visually striking and I am surprised of the growth this two have had since the start of their respective careers in movie like “You, Me and Dupree” and now with Marvel franchise films.
If you are a fan of this kind of films I think you will like “Avengers: Infinity War” and have a great time. In terms of story I still think the movie could have been better, I really enjoyed and I highly recommend it.
