Avengers: Infinity War - Epic In All Proportions!

We have been waiting for almost a decade for an epic movie that would make new records at the box office and Avengers: Infinity War is that movie. As #ThanosDemandsYourSilence, we like to make this review spoiler free as respect for its filmmakers, fans, and even regular movie goers and of course it is the right thing to do.

A quick recap of the last few movies shows the direction going to this movie. The pivotal Civil War tested the Avengers with members in great conflict with their principle. Of course there is Spider-Man Homecoming that brings the spider hero finally part of the MCU. Black Panther is the last film to complete the roster of heroes who is set to face the biggest threat that comes from space, Thanos. From the earlier Avengers movies, his appearance has already hyped fans for the future encounter. But it was not immediate and we only see him in post-credits. Now he has arrived and we have mixed emotions.

True to Marvel Cinematic Universe fashion, action and comedy is the main reason why we love the film. Yet there have been also some dramatic scenes that were also yet incredibly moving, as certain death/s are imminent. The race to the infinity stones has never been so very tense as the objective of obtaining them would come with a heavy price and various ways of fighting.

REEL DEAL: Captain America Civil War

Another clash movie of the year is the awaited movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe of 2016, Captain America: Civil War puts all heroes into the big screen not fighting bad guys but each other. As ironic it may sound, it does seems inevitable that they would not always be on the same boat.

Known to be one of the biggest clashes in the Marvel universe, Civil War is really literal. There was sides chosen upon the presentation of an accord that leaves them with a choice of following the directive of many nations or free to act upon the need to help. But we all know it is a complicated world with all the politics, policies, and amplified with the possible threats that their abilities can inflict to humanity.

This defines the line of "Captain America" which like the US is always politically connected with the current threats of society like terrorism and espionage. As some would see it as another Avengers movie with the introduction of Spider-Man, Ant Man, and Black Panter, it never forgets that it is Cap's movie. 

With many conspiracies, secrets, needs to be established, there would be a longer time of dialogues and word wars more than the actual fight scenes. Many would find it boring, but I think they are really needed to further understand what is going on.
