Avengers: Infinity War

As one of the biggest films in history, with the most fanatic of fan bases, there is not much I can say about this that has not already been said. Plot: Thanos continues his quest to capture all the infinity stones to put in his fancy glove so he can reduce universal population by 50%, all with a random, bias free, natural selection promise. A sort of super-hero, modern age version of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery. And the Avengers (all of them) get together to stop this madness. Part of the fun of this film is seeing the Marvel characters that previously had no knowledge of each other, meet and introduce themselves and develop their pecking order/working relationships on the fly. Continued excellence from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Sidenote: After the next film, will they need to refer to this forevermore as the MCPU (Marvel Cinematic Parallel Universe)?

4 stars (out of 5)
