MBE partnered with Marvel Studios for this review
Marvel superhero fans have been waiting what seems like an eternity. It's finally here: after literally 10 years in the making, Avengers: Infinity War (2018) from Marvel Studios has opened on the big screen to rave reviews.
The production company which brought us Iron Man, Captain America, the Thor movies (most recently, Thor Raganok), and earlier this year, the blockbuster Black Panther, has done it again.
This time, it's Avengers: Infinity War, the latest installment in the ultimate superhero series. And, the long story short is that this picture just might be the best Avengers movie to date.
Prior to screening this with my spouse ahead of its big screen release, I can honestly say my expectations were not that high. After all, how many more thrills can the Avengers franchise contiue to eke out?
I have to say, though, that this film really caught me off guard me. It is so packed with action, laughs, and great dynamics between the incredible cast ensemble, that it washed away any feelings of doubt in my mind.

Certainly the Avengers have had quite the wild ride so far, and it seems it is far from over yet. This time, they must join forces with a host of other Marvel heroes to face their greatest enemy to date -- Thanos, an intergalactic conqueror who is hell-bent on wreaking havoc across the galaxy.
Among the allies, Marvel enthusiasts will be treated to appearances by some of our favorite characters, including the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Wakandans from Black Panther.
Let me tell you, folks, none of them will disappoint. With an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Holland and strong female characters such as Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Pot -- and many others -- the stage is set for awesome chemistry between the full spectrum of superheroes and bad guys and gals.
Throughout the film's duration, directors Anthony and Jose Russo dole out a generous dose of witty banter and perfect comic timing. In fact, I don't think I've ever laughed this hard during a movie. Don't get me wrong, though.
At the same time, there are some surprisingly tense and heart-wrenching moments as well as much deeper personal development of many of the characters we thought we already knew so well.
How about plot twists? Without giving away any spoilers, let's just say come prepared to be shocked. You won't believe what the directors have in store for you this time around. At 2 hours and 40 minutes, this film has the longest run time of any Marvel Cinematic Universe release to date. But, not to worry, you will be kept on the edge of your seat from the opening through closing credits.
All in all, the Avengers: Infinity War is a blast, a fun date night out. A movie full of exciting, non-stop action, cool effects, laughs and drama. This film will surely entertain and appeal both to male and female audience members and will be what the buzz is all about in the coming days and weeks ahead.
