"I think having my heart ripped out of my chest would feel better than this, a movie review by Chloe"
I literally have no words to describe how great this movie was (yes I do; spectacular, epic, heart-wrenching and glorious). This movie was everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I wanted. Seriously, from start to finish I was enthralled and I was taken on an emotional roller coaster; one minute I'd be crying and the next laughing at what someone said. I have no real structure for this review so I'm going to get straight into it but first, I'LL BE SPOILING MAJOR AND MINOR PLOT POINTS SO DON'T READ ON IF YOU'RE YET TO SEE IT.
Thanos:
Getting straight into this one. Thanos was probably one of the best villains to grace the silver-screens. Thanos isn't just a piece of paper, he's a multi-sided and layered villain with a killer (haha get it?) motive and drive. He believes so passionately that what he is doing is for the greater good and we, the audience, can understand WHY he wants this world-domination (seriously take some hints DC). I loved learning more about his relationship with his "daughters", Gamora and Nebula, because we had yet to explore that arc. It actually killed me when he killed Gamora for the stone because WHY??? Gamora was one of my favourite heroes in the MCU and they killed her off?????
Characters:
Man, Marvel knows how to create amazing characters and then shove them all into one movie together. It worked sO well and It just worked. Literally can't complain because I thought every character was portrayed so perfectly it was just. so. awesome. ALSO I AM SO ANGRY because literally HALF of our superhero squad has vanished. I'm so mad and sad and confused(!!) as to where they are and if they are still alive but, more on that later. I also found it so incredibly smart that basically all (+ others) the phase 1 superheros are the only ones left, before this movie I swear EVERYONE was anticipating their deaths. Totally did not see that coming. I really don' want to talk about this buttttt, can we all agree that we cried in Peter's disappearance BECAUSE THAT WAS TORTURE. SO MUCH PAIN!
Deaths:
Freak me out, this movie made me cry SO MUCH and I was totally not expecting some of those deaths. Yikes. Literally 5 minutes into the film one of my favourite characters DIE??!!! Is this what hell feels like?? Loki's death destroyed me big time but after a day of stewing over this movie I realized that I just can't be angry about it. Loki literally had such an amazing character arc throughout the MCU and he died a heroes death; saving his brother and the remaining Asgardians, which is something he wouldn't of done in Thor 1. Vision's death scene was intense and even if I didn't like his character all that much I found myself to be sobbing anyway (I think I'm just a hella emotional person). I hate how doomed Wanda and Vision's relationship was because they deserve ALL happiness. Gamora's scene was probably the worst one for me because I LOVE Gamora. It was so irritating because she seriously didn't realize that Thanos LOVED her until he chucked her in the pit. Ugh.
Crackpot Theories:
THANOS BROUGHT GAMORA BACK AS HER YOUNGER SELF WITH THE TIME STONE SO THEY HE COULD RE-RAISE HER AS THE ASSASSIN SHE WAS MEANT TO BE. I know it sounds crazy but seriously it could happen and why else would be see a scene of little Gamora at the end of the film?????????
The characters who were misted (as I've been calling it) are still alive but held within the soul stone? I saw this theory online although I totally didn't think all those characters were dead when I came out of the theater. Half of those heroes have other movies coming out so it's almost impossible to have them die. At least T'challa can't actually be gone because; for a new black panther movie we would need black panther and because Killmonger destroyed all the flowers it means we PHYSICALLY cannot have another Black Panther movie unless T'challa is back. So, yes those characters are still alive.
Doctor Strange knew what he was doing.
Thank you for committing to 727 words of COMPLETE word vomit! If you've watched Infinity War I'd LOVE to hear you're thoughts and theories so drop me a message or catch me in real life! Again, thank you so much!
