You can take anything as a comic book adaptation, but you have to admit that today they are winners. And not only on box office - although the new film of the crammed Marvel again broke its own record (it seems that in this area no one else puts them). The screen version of comic books today is a synthetic genre that has absorbed and practically killed some of its counterparts. Seriously: how many times a year does a movie about adventures in space, for example, or a large-scale insurgent? And kinomkiksy about superheroes leave at least twice a year - and this is only Marvel, who 10 years ago took a lot of risk with the "Iron Man" and won as much as no one had ever dreamed of.
"Avengers Infinity War" is a kind of a birthday cake in honor of the anniversary. All the favorite heroes, new and old locations, amazing beauty special effects, fantastic techno-pose sessions, the best villain of all time and a dozen lines, finally converging to one point - at the level of the application it was an occasion rather not for joy, but for panic . Until now, only Joss Whedon could have removed a whole movie about a lot of heroes - and then his abilities failed. Russo brothers did not look like a good personnel decision: their "confrontation" with all merits was too clearly falling apart into two parts, and the characters from the previous films looked slightly distorted in favor of the current situation. Nevertheless, Kevin Feige, great and terrible, made a personnel decision - and we could only wait and hope that Russo could do the impossible.
They succeeded - that's all we can say without spoilers, which will really be a crime to the audience. Because the main strength of the "Avengers Infinity War" is its monstrous emotionality. It grows slowly and inevitably, like a tsunami wave, and freezes to the finale to fall upon the hall in the twinkling of an eye.
The only drawback of the "Avengers Infinity War" is that only loyal fans can appreciate it fully. Megalomanian TV series Marvel came to the point where only those who saw all the parts of the cycle can understand what is actually happening here. The complexity, abundance of heroes and a lot of plot contradictions in due time became the reason for the crisis for the comic-universe - and it seems that this crisis is not far off and for its cinematography. Although ... Russo has already done the impossible once. Let's see what happens in a year.
