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.
Before I get to far into things I would like to say dam it we have to wait until May next year for Infinity War Part 2.
With that grievance out of the way I would also like to say that after ten years and now that we are in the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe it would seem that with the release Part 1 of Avengers: Infinity Wars as an audience we might actually have a movie that is actually worth a dam and actually be worthy of any award buzz that it may generate. Because it seems that this might have been temporarily cured me of the comic book movie fatigue that I have been suffering.
Avengers: Infinity Wars beats the previous mark held for the longest MCU movie by two minutes and there is a lot going on in the plot so if you have one of those friends who talks a lot during movies you might need to tell them that they should keep quiet for this one. Infinity Wars lets you know quickly that this is unlike any of the other MCU movies within about the first fifteen minutes and worked to a very emotional ending. I liked the relationship between Doctor Strange and Tony Stark and I got the sense that under better circumstances that stories of Rocket and Thor going out drinking together would be legendary.
