Here it is. The culmination of eighteen movies over ten years. 'Infinity War' is audacious, spectacular, and unlike anything ever seen before. Haters will say it's just a superhero movie, but 'Infinity War' is unlike any other movie before it. It's the culmination of so many movies working together. It wouldn't exist without having created a rich universe around it.
It's also incredibly bold. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER. They let the bad guy win in this one. Thanos has the goal to wipe out half of all life in the galaxy, and in the end he does it. That's so insane. Not only because he wins, but how he wins. The amount of death and destruction is incalculable. It's not just human life, but all life. As you can tell, this movie spoke to me. Sure, it has way too many characters, but that's the point of the movie.
