Avengers: Infinity War

Hi everyone! I'm Thomas and today I'm going to talk about the movie "Avengers: Infinity War" by The Russo Brothers. (Without Spoilers.)

First of all, we must know what the movie is about:

Sinopsis:

The Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.

Well, in my first post I said that I would talk about the blockbusters that were coming out this year, and like now not to talk about the biggest blockbuster of 2018: Infinity War. And before I start, I would like to make the point that I am a big fan of superhero movies, however, in my opinion I will try to be as partial as possible. And also that more or less to give you an idea of what I think of this film; when we talk about UCM films directed by the Russo Brothers, I think The Winter Soldier, AS A MOVIE, is better than Infinity War. Wow wow, this doesn't take away the merit and genius that Infinity War brings with it.

What I did like it.

I reserve the prologue to go straight to the film. Thanos, he owns the movie. He is an incredible villain and above all a great character, and I agree with all the people who say that in certain ways, this is his film. The film could well be called "Thanos: The Movie" and the heroes would have been the "villains" in a way and it would have made no difference. The film is constantly changing scenarios, but even so, no matter who we are with, where we are or how we are, everything is related to Thanos. He's the character with the most presence and everything that's happening in the film is revolving around him.

I think he's the only Marvel villain I've ever seen, who has his own solo moments that are completely exciting in their own right. There are times when they teach us that it hurts him, that it's dangerous, that it lasts half the film, that it shows us all its facets, and they do it in a way, in a great way. He's an asshole, he's an asshole who makes us hate, but at the same time we wouldn't know what the movie would be without him.

Another thing I personally was worried about before watching the film, but what they managed to do is the fact of how they balance a cast of almost 30 characters and manage to make each one have their moment. Of course, some characters shine more brightly at times than others, but we can't say that even the most insignificant character hasn't a moment to frame. And, in my opinion, I think they get the best version of each character is in this film. There are some pretty strange teams, but no matter how rare the team they are having, IW always takes them to the way they work and what teams we would NEVER have thought, now we love to see them together.

Now, speaking of the jokes and the action, I have to say that for me everything is tremendously well balanced. The jokes (the biggest criticism of this universe) are reduced to The Guardians and Spider-man, and they really work, at least I didn't feel like most of them were about to be there to lighten the load, and the truth is that they really made me laugh. And the action, god, the action is like all Marvel movies: pure epicity. It's like you're taking all your toys and putting up a fight. It looks like an epic saturation where something exciting is always happening (Ah, yes, the pace at which they take the movie is also great.)

What I didn't like it.

Now, I just said that the jokes that the film brings are good, yes, that's what I said, but at exactly the right moment these jokes made the film "drowned" (?) So to speak. I mean, the first act above all is where all the "mini-franchises" are combining, and all the previous films are coming together, all this is visually great because we see our heroes meeting and spending time together. The detail is that many times, when these characters meet, they fill it with a joke. The first act is where it's all settling down, and it starts to feel like it's typical Marvel stuff. Of course, after this, everything is regulated and takes the tone of seriousness that we all asked for, but, is like if you still have that little "Problem" with the first act.

Now, another big problem I see with Infinity War is how history is divided. Before I talked about how great it is to form groups of heroes and that each hero has his moment, now, my problem is that the film seems to have 4 more movies inside. Iron Man has his story, Thor has his, etc. It is divided into fragments, and each group has its own fragment of history, as I said, Thanos is present in a certain way in all of them, and yes, they do have the job of telling you that all of these fragments are related and have a common goal, but, even so, the way they are written makes us forget a fragment of the film at some point, like: "And the Iron Man team?" And then you remember that the Captain also has his own fragment.

My point is that when a team is exciting us, and is about to reach its "point" they cut it off to show us another segment of the story, we totally forget the team we saw before and when we get back to it, it has already lost all emotion. This means that moments that could easily have been framed, for just another "moment" in the film are wasted.

Anyway, Infinity War, of course it's a great movie; it has the best version of the characters we used to know in this universe, a great mission, a constant epicity and an incredible rhythm. But, like most films, it has its flaws, but it is still the best end to a 10-year journey that has been going on, and even its mistakes are forgivable because of the feeling of seeing all the characters we knew before fighting side by side.

Rating: 8.7/10
