Storyline: The wait is finally over and the much awaited, much anticipated and the movie with the most expensive budget hit the theaters this Friday, the 27th of April. It's the 19th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is still counting. And when it came to Infinity war, there is no stone left unturned and everything seems to be larger and bigger than before. Be it its great budget, props, good plot, ensemble cast, crew, visuals or expectations. The movie is as a result of the past build up in this decade right from the first movie -Iron Man in 2008. This movie provides a cohesive end to the story arc that lasted for a decade.
Marvel fans -even before you start guessing the movies is about whom? since the star cast is so big, let me add a spoiler and tell you that the movie is solely about the Thanos -the gigantic cosmic villain -about his making who believes that he is being merciful by killing people and other 'weak' races in the universe collecting stones for his 'gauntlet'.
The very first scene of the movie tries to establish a darker tone, as piles of mutilated aliens mark the arrival of a truly intimidating villain who is too cruel to kill Loki -the until villain of Avengers by smashing him like an ant, soon after having a fight with the Hulk. He is rude, he is strong.
Hulk is thrown to the Earth using Bifrost by Heimdall before being killed by Thanos, where he lands to Sanctum Santorum warning Stephen Strange and Wong about the Thanos and his quest for the six infinity stones.
Next scene sees Tony Stark joining up the fight against the Thanos. Meanwhile, Thanos' children invade Earth in a way to retrieve the Time Stone form the Strange's possession. After a battle including Peter Parker, Maw captures Strange; Stark and Parker pursue Maw's spaceship while Wong remains to protect the sanctum. Banner contacts the other Avengers.
The next few minutes of the movie is spend in teeming and uniting up some of the heroes of Avengers and rescuing up of Thor by the Guardians of the Galaxy, who then head for making such a weapon which could be used to stop Thanos from the ultimate destruction of half of the universe.
Next few scenes are dedicated to Thanos who does everything possible to get all six infinity stones to his possession, including the sacrifice of his adopted daughter Gamora who is thrown to death for grant of soul stone. He even uses Time Stone to revert the destroy of The Vision, so that he can extract the Mind Stone destroying him once again.
Thanos teleports away, leaving the disintegrated Avenger team, while healed, awakens on another planet and watches the sunset in satisfaction. This is where we came to know that one more part is there which is reported to be released in mid of 2019.
And then comes the most rumored After Credit scene, where Nick Fury is seen sending a distressed message to someone. Most probably Captain Marvel, who is believed to be the most powerful among the other Avengers. Thus, MCU is smart enough to leave its fans once again in mystery and even before the second day of release Part II of the movie is anticipated.
Review: Okay, now comes the responsive part! You watched the trailer, you read the review and maybe even saw some spoiler video too. You know the story behind the making of this ambitious project which took about a decade to complete. But you are still in doubt and the million dollar question is: Does it live up to the expectation?
Hell Yes. Nothing can be more satisfying than watching all the Marvel hero in single movie sharing screen. Here Russo brother must be applauded for his effort of bringing all these characters on screen and that so swiftly. And why Russo only but everyone behind the scene who made it all possible. There hardly is a scene where you would say it is unappropriated. You love it or not but every next scene worth a applause.
Although the movie is great and there hardly is a dull scene, you can say (after watching) that your superhero's screen presence is not very long. Some can even complain that the prominence of the character is used to its full potential. Being a movie of such a big budget and expectation, there is always a little tid and tad left. It is always a hard thing to present diverse heroes with a different character in the single frame. And for whatever period your favorite superhero make the appearance, you would love it.
According to me, this Marvel movie is a must watch if you are a fan of Marvel movies and not of any single superhero. Plus, I would recommend watching all the previous Marvel movies before so that you could easily cope up with what is happening when and who is who?
It's once a lifetime movie. Go for it. It won't fail to satisfy you!
