Avengers: Infinity War astounds audiences
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Avengers: Infinity War takes place shortly after Black Panther. All of the Marvel heroes, old and new, are gearing up to fight Thanos(Josh Brolin), a genocidal titan from outer space. The film is set in different locations across the galaxy, from New York City to a planet called Nidavellir, and the story enlists the help of over 60 heroes from the last 10 years of Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
Classic heroes — from Iron Man(Robert Downey Jr.), and Captain America (Chris Evans) — to newer additions such as Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) must band together to protect the universe from Thanos and his army, the Black Order.
As shown in the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, the last Avengers film before Infinity War, Thanos has possession of the Infinity Gauntlet, a weapon that could wipe out half the universe. On a search for all six infinity stones, Thanos will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Overall, Avengers: Infinity War is an action-packed superhero film that has accomplished a feat like no other. It is far darker and more gruesome than any Marvel film before it, but one may argue that this factor only makes it better. For this, Avengers: Infinity War wins a 9.4 out of 10.
