All of the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)  have been leading up to this, Avengers: Infinity War. This movie has already made history as the biggest film in the Box Office just for its opening weekend. Fans purchased their tickets for this movie months in advance and were finally able to see it the weekend of April 27.

Fans were able to see some of their most beloved character fight for the whole galaxy against the ultimate villain, Thanos. In the movie, Thanos is searching for all of the Infinity Stones which will help him destroy the galaxy, including the Avengers. The Avengers are determined to stop Thanos in order to protect the earth and everyone they love, but can it be done?

In Avengers: Infinity War you get to see all of the Avengers officially, and finally, together! This means everyone including Iron Man, Black Panther, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spiderman, Captain America, and Thor are in the same places at the same time, well sort of. During the majority of the movie, there are two main battles going on but all for the same cause. There is one on earth and one in space. The battle on earth takes place in Wakanda and during this battle, you see characters such as Black Panther, Captain America, Black Widow and Thor all working together to defeat Thanos’s army. Up in space, there is another just as challenging battle occurring and Iron Man, Spiderman, and Doctor Strange all working together to fight and bring down Thanos himself. 

Marvel tried it’s very best to keep most of the story a secret and they were pretty successful in doing so. Most of the cast didn’t even know how the movie was going to end. A lot of them were not even allowed to have the full script or post anything about the movie on social media, some members of the cast were even given scripts that had fake scenes in them, just so then literally no one knew what was going on until the movie was out in theaters. None of the cast or crew were able to see the movie until right before it was released to the public.

This movie reaches new levels of awesome, it is funny, entertaining, heartbreaking, and jaw-dropping. Being able to see the characters that everyone thought would never meet each other actually go to war together and get to know each other is one of the most entertaining and funniest parts of the whole film. Infinity War has an ending that will leave you wanting to no more, but sadly you won’t be able to until next year. This has to be one of Marvel’s best and most successful movies.
