With the social media embargo forAvengers: Infinity Warfinally lifted, the initial reactions to the highly-anticipatedAvengers"three-quel" tease it to be the most thrilling Marvel movie yet. While it is not without its flaws,Infinity Warstill promises to be a fan-favorite.
SinceAvengers: Infinity War’s announcement in 2014, many fans have been excited to see the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Avengers finally face off against the Mad Titan Thanos. However, about just as many Marvel fans have been worried about how the movie would turn out. With 22 main heroes, people were worried that the focus of the movie would be too spread out, andInfinity Warcould become Marvel’s first critical failure. Fortunately, most of those fears were shot down today.
While the embargo onInfinity War’s actual reviews has not been lifted just yet, the Internet reactions still give us a clue as to what to expect. The majority of the Twitter reactions are completely positive, praisingAvengers: Infinity Waras one of the MCU’s best movies to date.
One of the best parts about the movie, as people described, is the non-stop action. Many people compared the action and events ofInfinity Warto the beloved Airport fight inCaptain America: Civil War, so assuming you enjoyed the Airport fight, you will most likely enjoyInfinity War. The action is described as being full of emotion, in addition to having the humor that has sold fans on many of Marvel’s latest movies.
However, the seemingly non-stop action ofInfinity Warwas also a negative part of the movie for some who saw it. For some audience members, the action became overwhelming, and even exhausting. A few people said that they would’ve liked to have seen the action take a break to leave some room for more emotional moments between characters. However, superhero movies are action movies, and this might be one of Marvel’s first to deliver on having nearly non-stop action throughout.
Another great part aboutAvengers: Infinity Waraccording to the reactions is the villain Thanos. Thanos is described as the ultimate cure to Marvel’s “villain problem,” asInfinity Warwill not only make Thanos into a truly threatening villain, but also a villain we may even understand on an emotional level, given his backstory. This is certainly great news for Marvel fans who have had an issue with their “villain problem” in the past. While other villains like Killmonger inBlack Pantherseemed to fix this problem, other villains like Hela inThor: Ragnarokproved that the problem was still alive and well. Regardless, it is great news to hear that this issue will not be prevalent inAvengers: Infinity War.
But don’t just take my word for it, see the Internet reactions for yourself. While most fans will have to wait untilInfinity Warreleases this weekend to make their own judgements on the latest movie fromMarvel Studios, these initial reactions prove that we are in for quite a ride.
