The biggest film of 2018 lands this week.
Certain films don’t need reviews, publicity or a huge marketing campaign to resonate with film fans because they’re not just films, they’re events. Avengers: Infinity War perfectly fits this description.
This being said, there’s an awful lot that’s riding on Avengers: Infinity War because fans have been invested in the MCU for the last decade and everything has been leading up to these events.
As soon as Tony Stark announced himself as Iron Man at that press conference, the superhero world has grown at a rate that’s faster than Quicksilver making a dash for the bathroom. Thankfully, we’re delighted to say that Infinity War really is a treat for fans of the MCU.
At the end of Captain America: Civil War, Earth’s mightiest heroes were at loggerheads as the Sokovia Accords threatened to tear the Avengers apart.
Well, with the Russo Brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War )back at the helm for this adventure, fans can breathe easily because JOE got to see the film and we’re delighted to say that it’s an absolute riot.
We’re not going to spoil anything, but the Russos have done a wonderful job at balancing all of those characters that we love with some breathtaking action and memorable laughs. FYI, it’s far funnier than it has any right to be.
Not even Thanos’ plan for total domination could quell the happiness of these critics.
Avengers: Infinity War is released this week and it’s definitely worth seeing.
I've never heard quite as many gasps from an audience as during #AvengersInfinityWar. Also, it is exceptionally funny.

Spent a good portion of #AvengerInfinityWar with my jaw wide open. The scope and scale is huge but it’s far funnier than I thought. I am Groot.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR is basically CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR times 20, except with less hero-on-hero fighting. I think people who loved the airport fight in CIVIL WAR like I did will go nuts for this film, and people who were bored will be 20 times as bored here. #InfinityWar

Wow! Marvel dropped all the rules, fists out and what a tornado!! #AvengersInfinityWar was a blast and Thanos just dethroned Killmonger as the champion of villains.

#AvengersInfinityWar is my second fave @Marvel movie after #BlackPanther. The superhero interplay is hilarious and surprising at every turn. The action is monumental. And there are actual stakes this time around. Kevin Feige is not f-cking around with this one.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR is very weighty and juggles most of its characters with consideration. It’s the closest thing to a Paul Thomas Anderson movie you’ll find in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I Am Shook! #Marvel #AvengersInfinityWar pic.twitter.com/YgntkXFIkv

After 10 years of investment in this series & these characters, boy does #AvengersInfinityWar knock you on your ass. Humor, sky high stakes & a truly overwhelming amount of emotion in it. Russos did a great job spreading screen time for the ensemble but my MVPs – The Guardians.

Jaw on ground. You are not ready for 'Avengers: Infinity War'. All you have to know is AVOID ALL SPOILERS! Seriously. Go in knowing as little as possible. The @Russo_Brothers did the impossible. Wow. pic.twitter.com/noKZ5cQWdc

Since we’re talking about #avengersinfinitywar I’ll say that Thanos/Josh Brolin is great. The mo-cap works here, folks.

I saw #AvengersInfinityWar earlier tonight and I can say that it delivers. There's a lot of really fun character interactions, some cool action moments (Thor's powers, Iron Man's suit), and a few powerful emotional beats. Most of the humor is 👌🏻 Also Captain America is 💥 pic.twitter.com/WoZNPDpGXk
