From director brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers – Infinity War is the one where the likes of Captain America, Black Widow, Thor and Iron Man, along with their allies come together in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos (Josh Brolin). For Thanos is hellbent on not just putting an end to half of planet Earth, but half of the entire universe, for reasons including it’s his ‘destiny’.

It’s not often that I’m struggling to come up with what I find to be ‘not so great’ about a movie I’m reviewing, but I really have no complaints about Avengers – Infinity War. The story and execution are great, and Josh Brolin as Thanos is very much the perfect supervillain.

Brolin did a truly memorable job with his character. His voice work is perfect, and it did a lot to help make Infinity War the impressive movie that it is, in addition to the stunning visual effects, dialogue, and so on. 

Thanos is the kind of villain I actually thought Ultron would be in Avengers – Age of Ultron (2015). At the very least, in terms of screen time. James Spader’s performance as Ultron was indeed great. It’s just that, among a few other things, Ultron wasn’t featured in the movie half as much as the film’s trailer suggested he would be.  

If by chance you, too, enjoyed The Avengers (2012) but were left disappointed enough with Avengers Age of Ultron, that you took a two-year break from the Avengers movies, Infinity War will very likely get you right back on board. Another reason you’ll want to get back into it all is Endgame (2019), of course.

Happy Film Loving,
