Recently, I watched Avengers: Infinity War and here is what I thought about it. This contains spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War.

Right from the start, we get to see Heimdall getting killed, which sets the tone of this movie. Then Loki got killed, one of the most likable character in the MCU. It’s sad as we get to see him admit that his surname is Odinson and he tries to repent his wrong doings. At the start, some of us already hates Thanos and that’s good, because this film is a Thanos development film.

Everybody in Avengers: Infinity War have their own introduction,and for Stephen Strange, we get to see his life after the events of Doctor Strange. They are discussing what to eat, which is something relatable and a breathe of fresh air after witnessing Loki’s death.

That’s what this movie is really great at, it’s able to let us slow down and realise what happen. If something traumatic occurs, we will have a joke 5 minutes later to let us relax . It knows when to be serious and when to joke.

Scenes of the New York fight were one of my favourites, we saw Doctor Strange working with Tony Stark and Bruce Banner! One of these small but great team-ups that this movie have to offer. Doctor Strange and Tony Stark had a great love-hate relationship.

The Guardians of the Galaxy also have a great introduction, we get reminded of the excellent songs and that they are family. Oh and we see what Groot have become. They met Thor and that made them seperate.

Throughout the movie, we get to empathize with Thanos, he have a scene with Gamora where we see how he really tries to be a good father, he teacher her not to lie and he holds Gamora back when he saw the Red Skull. Then we get reminded why we are suppose hate him, he murdered people and call it mercy. And of course the CGI on Thanos is a 10/10 but the man behind all this effects is Josh Brolin. His voice and movements make Thanos one of the best villains.

This movie is one big adventure that focuses on one group for a while before shifting to another group. We see Iron Man, Doctor Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy in outer space, Thor with Rocket Raccoon and Groot on a missoon to get the Stormbreaker and Captain America with the rest.

Overall, the acting was great but the Wakanda fight with the “space dogs” still have this annoying shaky cameras. There were many surprising reveals in Avengers: Infinity War that I cannot relive because I am watching this more than once but I am sure the directors got the reactions they want.

Now for the bad parts of this movie. First, Spiderman’s introduction felt very rushed. It doesn’t feel like Doctor Strange calm introduction or maybe it just feels kind of in a small scale.

The editing in this movie is not the best. The cuts felt very awkward, if someone is falling, they cut to the aftermath rather than showing his impact on the ground. The transitions are also not the smoothest. We should also have a bit of backstory of the Children of Thanos, maybe their journey to get the Stones but here we don’t even know their names.

And obviously one of the problems is Vision, some of what he does is questionable. He is not as powerful as he seems compared to Age of Ultron.

Overall the movie shows its ability to control this big scale of characters while putting in humor and seriousness to the mix. Sadly, the Snap did not hit me as hard as others as I knew the characters that were snap are coming back.

Ratings: 9/10
