No question about it, barely two months after the release of Black Panther, Marvel (and Disney, of course) has returned with another of the most expensive films ever made that will pull off another of the biggest commercial hauls of all time. This franchise isn't going away anytime soon.

Avengers: Infinity War feels like a Marvel movie on bath salts. Trying to describe any part of it alone will make you sound like you've lost your mind; trying to describe it all kind of makes it sound like it's lost its mind. And it's all the more confounding for how closely it mirrors its decade of movie predecessors only to end up shattering that mirror: Infinity War moves, sounds, and acts like a typical Marvel movie, but then unmasks itself as a creature distinctly its own.

The Film Stage: https://thefilmstage.com/reviews/review-avengers-infinity-war-is-an-operatic-beginning-of-the-end/
After toying with the mortality of its ensemble in every single film across its now 10-year franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally reached a point of no return. Another decade's worth of teases would only further dilute each life-threatening set piece, and so just as the sweet kiss of death will come for us all, it, too, must come for our costume-donning stars. This being a Kevin Feige/Russo brothers production, however, it's not all grimace-laden battle cries and dour squabbles. Rather, Infinity War, with its now meme-famous descriptor as the "most ambitious crossover event in movie history," offers ample space to revel in numerous superhero meet-cutes. Shooting character introductions with more bombast than most of the action, this is a blockbuster that knows its audience's history with these heroes and effectively pulls all the behind-the-scenes strings to orchestrate the most operatic impact.

Avengers: Infinity War' May Be The Dorkiest Movie Ever Made, But One Filled With Great Moments

Slashfilm: http://www.slashfilm.com/avengers-infinity-war-review/
The best thing about Avengers: Infinity War is, in many ways, the best thing about the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole: an incredibly charming and almost overqualified ensemble cast. Though a few of the actors in the nearly 20 films of the MCU haven't worked out so well, many of the performers are key to making the heroes of this fantastical series fresh and exciting. Whenever the sometimes-unwieldy, epic-length Infinity War works, it's largely thanks to the actors, not the action sequences or the effects or anything else. The cast makes this movie, not the other way around.

Whether or not Infinity War is the experience moviegoers en masse think they want remains to be seen. Star Wars: The Last Jedi taught us just in the last few months genre fans can he as polarized as political ideologues. But one thing is for certain, the film in no uncertain terms exists to serve fans invested in the MCU as a whole over the last decade … and of course, set it all up for the next decade.
At that it succeeds wildly.
How the world at large reacts to how it does it will be fascinating to watch.
And we're sorry if that doesn't seem like it's saying a lot. But you'll thank us for it later.

Infinity War's very structure makes it feel like the less than the sum of its parts. It's full of stuff – there are something like two dozen major characters here, hopping back and forth across half a dozen worlds. But it's tough to tell, at this point in time, what any of it amounts to, or how satisfying any of this will end up being.

Some critics are going to complain about it being too long and convoluted.
Others are going to praise the epicness.
People who like MCU are going to love it.
Predicting %85 RT. Can't wait for friday.

Thanos' crew gets exactly zero backstory or development. One of the weaker points of the film.
