Avengers: Infinity War promised a spectacle, and oh boy, did the Russo brothers deliver. 20+ superheroes in one film would tend to follow in the analogy too many cooks spoil the broth, but our directors have perfectly synchronized each and every one, equally dividing the screen time between all, and we finally have a culmination (almost) of the MCU which started 10 years back with the release of Iron Man. Most of the actors are already esteemed and well established, and do manage to pull off the 4th highest grossing movie of all time.
Josh Brolin, as Thanos is a towering villain wants to kill half the universe because he believes that most civilizations are overpopulated and thus, destined to suffer and fail. Although his intentions are righteous, who died and made him God? On another note, I really liked Thanos as a villain. He is not your usual monologuing, world-conquering evil, he truly believes he is doing a service to the galaxy by killing half the world. His empathy and care for Gamora is also exposed, something which sets him apart from your regular villains. The CGI and Brolin's acting together make him a villain we won't forget anytime soon.
Our earth and space based superheroes strive to prevent him from collecting all Infinity stones, but fall one by one. Fight sequences are abundant, and entertaining as hell. No Marvel movie is complete without humour, and although on the lesser side, the movie does manage to make us laugh at intervals.
Another surprise was the appearance of Red Skull, as a keeper of one of the infinity stones. Also, heavily excited for Brie Larson as Captain Marvel in the next movie, if you did not get the reference in the post-credits scene.
Many people did not like the ending of the movie, but you do have to consider this was always supposed to be a two-part storyline, and to quote SRK from 'Om Shanti Om', I'll say "picture abhi baaki hain dosto"
My Rating - 8.4/10
