But he could equally be making a meta commentary on the Marvel Cinematic Universe itself: it has all been building to this. “It’s all been building to this.” He’s talking about the approaching menace of Titan warlord Thanos, a threat so great it’ll take the might of all the assembled Avengers (and then some) to even have a chance of stopping him. “So, this is it?” says Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. Part tyrant and part cult leader, the massive villain trade fisticuffs with the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), no sweat, and offers balance and “salvation” to the universe by wiping out half of existence. (Without saying too much, the dude knows finite resources are a thing and, in his own way, is worried about overpopulation.) To pull off this genocidal act, he needs to collect six Infinity Stones that hold ultimate power when used together.Enter, well, almost everybody who’s been in the 18 Marvel Cinematic Universe films so far.
So the big question is: Is it worth the wait? Does it warrant the 10 years and 18 movies of investment? If you’ve given a damn about any character over the course of the series, do you need to see it?What does the Avengers: Infinity War ending mean? And 8 other questions we haveThe plot is very much in foot-on-the-pedal motion all the way through, without so much as a stop for breath. It has all been building to this. Since then, the world has grown exponentially, exploring realms cosmic ( Guardians of the Galaxy), quantum ( Ant-Man), and multiple ( Doctor Strange), and introducing conflict ( Captain America: Civil War), out-and-out comedy ( Thor: Ragnarok), and familiar faces ( Spider-Man: Homecoming) into the fold.
And its all set against a background of legitimate peril, as Thanos sets about retrieving the Infinity Stones he needs to enact his plan.Credit is of course due to directors the Russo brothers for pulling together something of this scale and ambition with such clarity and confidence. It reaches its highest moments when throwing together unusual combos of characters: in action sequences, odd-couple banter, and high-stakes emotional interactions. And as well as the humour, there are moments of genuine emotion that you rarely get in this kind of tentpole movie (once again, that’s down to that accumulated investment). Some heroes get more to do than others (if Thor gets a decent amount of screentime, Black Widow feels particularly short-changed), but ultimately, it’s a team effort in every sense.Avengers: Infinity War post-credits scene: What happens, and what it means for the MCUDespite the heavy, genocidal subject matter, there’s plenty of the MCU’s trademark humour, most of it delivered by the on-form Guardians, stealing pretty much every scene they’re in, and somehow managing to retain their unique tone even within this Avengers mix. As is inevitable with a movie like this, individual characters (besides Thanos) get cool moments rather than any real depth, but that’s part and parcel with this extended universe: your engagement will be highly dependent on how invested you’ve been thus far. His scenes involving Gamora (Zoe Saldana) are his strongest, and they also provide a showcase for the Guardians’ green warrior to do some of her best emoting of the series.By necessity, no good guy gets a particularly huge amount of screentime here.
Thanos’ ‘children’ don’t make as much impact as you’d hope, and can feel indistinct at times. Crucially, you can always tell what’s going on in big fight scenes, and you never lose sight of the characters.There are quibbles. The action scenes are also delivered with flair and crunch: and as ever, the best involve characters working in unison and combining their powers in special moves. Even if you haven’t entirely kept up with the whereabout of the stones to this point, you’ll fare just fine. The Infinity Stones have always felt like McGuffins, and even if their use and provenance isn’t always all that obvious, they’re a simple ploy for ratcheting tension: the more of the coloured gems that Thanos shoves into his golden gauntlet, the worse things get for future of life on Earth (and other planets).
For delivering on fan expectations that have snowballed during 10 years of the MCU – and doing so with wit, pace, and surprises aplenty – Infinity War deserves a huge, bejeweled high-five. But any complaints are small fry in a film this bold, ballsy, satisfying, and dramatic. The stone-collecting can feel a tad repetitive, and certain plot threads are set in motion that won’t be resolved until the untitled Avengers 4 in 2019 (or maybe in the inbetween films, Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel). It’s easy to lose track of the whereabouts of the remaining members, or forget about them altogether.
