The Blog
This blog will be all about film reviews. I'm going to be watching a lot of movies, writing reviews, and hopefully not spoiling any movies you plan to watch.
Director(s): The Russo Brothers
Verdict: Thumbs Up Finally, a movie that so nearly did what I wish happened more often. Infinity War focuses on the struggle between the Avengers and Thanos, who is trying to commit mass genocide (yaaaayyyyyy). Infinity War starts out with a shock as Thanos, having obtained two of the six Infinity Stones, kills Loki in the midst of his attempt to kill Thanos. From here, Infinity War jumps around between various groups of Avengers and Thanos as they fight each other over the fate of the Universe. Towards the end of the movie, the Avengers seem to have defeated Thanos. They had destroyed his army attack Wakanda and Vision, who had the last remaining Infinity Stone, had survived numerous attempts on his life. However, with victory looking assured, Thanos arrives having defeated Spiderman, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Peter Quill. He makes light work of the remaining Averngers and approaches Vision who has convinced Scarlet Witch to destroy the Infinity Stone, and in doing so, killing him. She succeeds just as Thanos seems poised to take it. Thanos, not accepting the feat, merely uses the Time stone to reverse time, and take the stone. In one last dash attempt, Thor throws his new ax, which lodges in Thanos' chest. As Thor gloats over his victory, Thanos laughes and snaps his fingers. People being to fade into nothing and many Avengers die. The movie ends with Thanos, looking as though he is in retirement, living with peace in his conscience. OKAY so I have a small problem with movies. SOOOOOO many times, the good guys win and the bad guys lose. And like, it makes sense but I wish there was more variety. So recently the only film that comes to mind that does this was the Amazon film The Wall. This war film was very different and ended with the good guys losing and the bad guy winning and I remember it left me with a very weird feeling. Infinity War so nearly does this. With many Avengers dying (along with half the universe), and Thanos looking to have won, it should have given me a similar feeling. However, I guess that knowing there would be other movies with these same characters and another Avengers movie and a seemingly obvious solution to the genocide, I didn't quite get the same feeling. Had the Avengers movies been a straight trilogy and the ending modified a bit, I think it would've satisfied that itch but this is the wrong movie movie series for that. The movie itself was pretty good. I didn't really enjoy how much it jumped around, but that is my only main complaint. It was just a good, entertaining movie and not a lot stood out to me. The music was nothing special, so nothing special I can't even remember what it was. The cinematography was very good and I am a sucker for good, bright colors. Overall, pretty good. Thumbs up.
