'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: A Salutation To All Those Who Will Die Leaving Us Paralysed And Heartbroken
SPOILERS AHEAD: PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
Do you know how it feels when you watch a film the whole world has been waiting to witness before anyone? Do you know how it feels when you know everything and yet, you can't give away any spoilers, because the last thing you want is HATE messages in your inbox?
To begin with, let me tell you this isn't infinity but a really big infinity, beyond your imagination! It is cataclysmic, gargantuan, farcical, entertaining, and everything that you would want in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's a showdown between the evil and biggest superheroes ever. And we have also got Doctor Strange multi-clone himself when pitted against the mighty Thanos.
'Avengers: Infinity War' brings together everything we have seen till date, everything that has made our childhood. We have Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Black Panther… and Thanos. Well, we just got to agree he is 'THE VILLIAN'. It is an experience that maybe Nick Fury wouldn't have thought 10 years ago.
There are deaths that will leave you paralysed on your seat- the less we say the better (The first 15 minutes will leave you in shock). Some unexpected appearances and disappearances: we bet you won't be ready for this.
Over the course of 2 hours and 29 minutes, Infinity War does everything Marvel fans thought and also brings in gazillions of things that you never saw coming.
This is a giant battle that we always knew was coming, but didn't realise what it would have in store until we saw it hovering over us! Director Anthony and Joe Russo make your hearts race, give you a sugar-rush and make you laugh with amusing dialogues, leaving you thrilled.

Honestly, it's kind of amazing how the 10 years of MCU world fit accurately without any glitch. Whether it is Guardian of the Galaxy meeting the Avengers for the first time or the male banter between Iron Man and Doctor Strange or Captain America returning back or Hulk trying to see what all has happened on Earth in past few years.

From Tony Stark to Thor To Captain America, every hero's story follows the right path. Every member plays an important role no matter what their screen-time is. And War Machine Fans, makers definitely have something for you.
Coming to the story, Planet Earth is in grave danger as a massive purple hunk with a huge chin called 'Thanos' (Josh Brolin) aims to destroy the planet. His ultimate aim is to find all the six infinity stones and fix them on his custom-made hand that holds the strength to bear the power of all six stones. The uncontrollable power will lead him to destroy anything he wants in this universe.
This is a true blue Thanos film and there is no denying that. As you learn more about his character, you despise him and hate his genocide plan. He wants to slaughter half of the existence, so another half can have enough food to eat. But despite the hate, you understand his agony when he makes the biggest sacrifice to get that one stone (Any guesses which one is it?).
Against him are the good guys. Here comes alpha male Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). Joining the two is Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who is all about millennials and pop culture reference, thoroughly entertaining us.
Followed by Thor (Chris Hemsworth) meeting the GOTG. The epic part is Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) feeling intimidated by Thor's macho man look and trying to get that badass voice like him and Rocket pointing it out again and again.
Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) get a vital screen presence in the film, taking us back to Gamora's childhood and giving us a glimpse of how Thanos met her.

Vision (Paul Bettany) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) are trying to get a normal life. But as fate has it, they unite with Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans) and are trying to keep the stone in Vision's blue head out of Thanos' hand. And self-destruction is the only way! Will he die? There also comes a moment when Thanos stabs a sword into Iron Man, making our heart bleed. Will he die? (That's for you to figure out).
Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is seen kicking some ass. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) is having a tough time turning into HULK. Wish the two could finally have some serious man-to-man talk!

While Tony and gang are fighting, we are transported to Wakanda.
A sudden urge to meet Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) arises, thanks to all the hi-tech advancement. But Okoye (Danai Gurira) ain't pleased, because when the king said they were opening their gates to the world, she thought it was more of a deal like 'Starbucks' coming to their city. (We feel you bro!).
And wait till you watch the clash between GOTG vs Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man, thinking each work for Thanos. Just imagine Dr. Strange asking, “What master do you serve?” And an awkwardly confused Peter answering “You mean – like Jesus?”.

FYI, Thor will not only get his hammer but also his eyes (Thanks to the Rocket Racoon) but even he can't guarantee that you won't be left with a bleeding heart at the end.
And most importantly Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage's secret role is pretty amazing and you won't forget him.
The movie takes no time in establishing what's at stake and who the super-villain is. In fact, you get introduced to the devil at the start itself. And then and there you know that NO ONE IS SAFE IN THE INFINITY WAR!

Marvel gives you everything they promised but at the same time, they throw curveballs that can shake your soul. The film gets stronger and twisted as it proceeds to its ending.
Just imagine the effect this movie creates with all the superheroes canned in one.

I kind of know we got to wait for a year before we see what happens next, but I would want Russo brothers to just give us another big movie (or Mayhem) now! Because, the sudden twists, turns and deaths in the movie will leave you scarred. It will haunt you till the next movie comes out!
