‘Avengers: Infinity War’ soars as newest Marvel movie

Edona Maracaj Staff Writer

After the success of “Black Panther,” critics and fans wondered if “Avengers: Infinity War” would become another Marvel Studios hit. Simply put, it did.

The third installment of the “Avengers” movies came out in theaters on April 27.

The acting throughout the movie is profound. “Infinity War” brings out a variety of emotions through both plot and character. The actors perfectly embody every emotion person could feel in one sitting. “Infinity War” offers heartbreak, humor and comradery.

“Infinity War” takes on the importance of making sacrifices for the greater good. Over the course of the movie, Marvel shows the significance of putting someone else’s needs before your own and indicating just how important it is for these characters to come together to fight the evil that threatens them.

Similar to other Marvel movies, “Infinity War” made history. It broke box office history by grossing the highest revenue for both opening day and opening weekend.

The thing that makes this movie so great is the cluster of classic Marvel characters that were brought together, as fans can expect to see a range of characters being introduced to one another. What makes it even more bittersweet is the way it is done and more specifically, their reactions to greeting each other.

The fight scenes are classy and un-forced. While many comic book movies will over-deliver a fight scene, “Infinity War” delivers action naturally. It is unbelievable how, even during a fight, Marvel can still manage to include humor.

For many viewers, one of the best things about watching “Infinity War” might be the reactions of the audience. This is especially true in the first half hour of the movie where we are already struck by a death. Like the MCU — Marvel Cinematic Universe — has said in many interviews, we can expect death in this movie. And that is exactly what is given. It is evident that the MCU is set to break their fans’ hearts, and they are very successful.

For some viewers, it may not be a fulfilling ending. But, fans should be pleased to know that the fourth “Avengers” movie is set to premiere in May 2019. The cliffhanger will leave viewers wanting more. It may also leave viewers angered because of a few deaths, but it does leave room for more action and conflict in the next “Avengers” movie.

“Infinity War” delivers in every way possible: it is packed with action and visuals that will have viewers wishing that such powers and characters really did exist.
