Likes: "In time you will know what its like to lose, to feel so desperate that you're right but to fail all the same, dread it, run from it destiny still arrives" WOW marvel it's taken you 18 film's to get a real balance in your films, Infinity war is truly worth the hype.
For years ive been a DC fan more because of the tone of those movies I found were better for the villains with that dark tone in the films, yes they struggle to get their film right but it the overall tone and ground storeys that draw me toward DC more than marvel film.
Don't get me wrong I don't hate Marvel films, I just didn't feel they had this ground story that really draws the audience in, they only really appealed to certain fans. I'm pleased to say that Avengers infinity war is the first Marvel film that hasn't used the typical cheesy over baring childish humour that make the film a comedy and not an action film.
From the get-go, this film seriously dives in from where we were left in Thor Ragnorok with a seriously dark tone scene that arnt normally seen in a Marvel film, This really does help with the tone of Thanos and the way he's portrayed in this film with the black order, who throughout the film you can understand why he choose them as generals without even having to know about the comic books.
This is great for those people that have never read a comic book because you get a feeling from this guys but the way they are on the screen which gives the audience a sense of dread to the dark tone of the film. Thanos himself from the previous film's when we have seen him is nothing compared to how we see him here, whats great about this which most comic book readers will possibly hate its the characters driven motives.
Compared to the way he is in the comic book which is different in the film, I feel this new version is better, this is because it gives the story a solid foothold and ground story of why he's doing what he does, which is what made kill monger from black panther a good villain.
Having a motive for a character to be the way he or she is, is great for the story progression, Especial for the way Thanos is portrayed here, this gives the hero's a motive to band together to stop Thanos at all cost. There is a real threat feeling in this film which is helped by the dark tone, it's refreshing to see a director using this for once, this is because using a light tone just to make the film lighter sadly you don't get this feeling.
Ya, there are a few humour moments which I can honestly say are better timed than any other Marvel film, plus they were natural funny moments even I laugh. For the first time, a marvel film actually made me cry with Vision and Scalet witch, these scenes alone has so much passion and heartfelt tone you can but help has tears in your eyes, this is because love is the most powerful thing ever to lose it is the most heartbreak thing ever.
The other few things you will notice is thor would be a perfect fit for the guardian of the galaxy, he would fit in so way with those guys its unreal, you notice from these scenes that they work well together which if there is any future for Thor being in the MCU, we should by all mean have thor join the guardian of the galaxy as I personally think he would be a great choice.
The visual effects and back storeys are brilliantly done, as well as some returning characters from previous films and a surprising character return which most people have been wondering about for ages was a welcome addition to the film in kind of a creepy way.
Be warned this film very natural unlike winter soldier does have a very blick outlook and tone due to the nature and concept of the film, this truly is one of the most darkness marvel films you see it works for the character of Thanos. But as ive sad there are a few humorous moments that break this up a bit, but the ending may disappoint you as it one of those film endings that has a WTF moment and unexpected which leaves you with a feeling of despair.
Although you may feel this when leaving the cinema or after watching on DVD/ Blu-ray if you don't watch it at the theatre, Don't despair too much as there is Avengers infinity war part 2 coming in 2019. All cast involved in this film pulled off the best performance of their career.
Dislikes: I kind of didn't find the ending a little disappointing, especially leaving you with a deeper feeling that what the hell out they gonna do now, which thankfully there is a part 2 because they cant leave it like that.
But the real flaw that I wanted to bring up was a certain C.G.I moment with Bruce Banner if you have seen the film is pretty much in your face, there was a bad green screen effect with CGI that just looks bad on screen it might have been something the editing team missed.
Overall: the Perfect dark tone for Thanos and the dark order plus the concept. Great acting performance from all, heartfelt moments, one of the biggest unexpected and WTF moment ending in the history of films.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 8.9 out of 10 for the concept.
