It's funny to think that just 10 years ago Iron Man was released in theaters. Who would have thought at the time that the cinecomics, from films unrelated to each other, would have come together under a single banner forming what is now the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that just 10 years later in 2018 they would have reached a unique, singular goal, never achieved before: a film capable of closing a cycle, marking a fixed point in history and bringing together a spectacular cast. Avengers: Infinity War it's a unique film: everything he brings to the screen in those two hours and forty minutes is based on foundations built film after film, actor after actor, character after character. Yet, although at first glance it may seem like an ensemble film, in reality the only protagonist is there, and you can also see it in the poster of the film.
Just him, Thanos. The Titan, in fact, seen in the post-credit scene of Avengers, this time will no longer be a simple principal, but will take the field, ready to conquer the gems of infinity and reach its goal. It is therefore peculiar the choice of the Russo brothers who, with courage and skill, have taken all the protagonists and supporting actors of the various Marvel films and, like satellites around a planet, have made them spin wildly, creating amusing, at times moving, mixtures. , and sometimes really exciting to see. This formula, combined with the characterization of the various characters and the mastery of Josh Brolin, they managed to have (finally) a villain worthy of the name in a cinecomic.
Many characters, as many locations: the Avengers, the Guardiani della galassia and all the other heroes, precisely in order to stop the Mad Titan, will often find themselves visiting exotic locations for them, abandoning the settings of New York e Sokovia for something much bigger. At the same time, all their choices, their experiences and their fears will manifest themselves, as if to sum up these ten years. In short, the whole film is a riot of action, pathos, the right comedy; the condiment that makes this formula perfect in Avengers: Infinity War it is the coherence, terror and tragedy of many blockbusters of this magnitude, which instead becomes a strong point for the film in question. It will make you move, laugh, keep you in suspense and, in some scenes, it will even surprise you.
And here then you will find scenes where Robert Downey Jr. will flank to Benedict Cumberbatch, or action sequences where a Chris Evans will run side by side with Chadwick Boseman: something truly unique, that very few could have managed with such skill, balancing them almost perfectly, especially without ruining the huge bad guy on duty Thanos. All the scenes intersect, come together in a melody that leads inexorably towards the end of the film, and that prepares us for the arrival of the next chapter, Avengers 4, In 2019.
Technically speaking Avengers: Infinity War takes a leap forward when it comes to special effects: the heroes and enemies on the screen have increased, the powers have become more varied and it was right to give the right space to each of them. This is how every single beam, shot or shot is shown honestly, almost as if there is no fear of surrender. The fights, especially the physical ones, are developed in a sublime and realistic way. Moreover, especially at the beginning, every single entry on the scene of the various characters has been designed to highlight the key characteristics: from the music of the Guardiani della galassia at the bars of Thor, passing through the various Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, every single element has its own space, and its peculiarities are well highlighted.
Avengers: Infinity War dares a lot. It does so in the script, in the choices made, in the desire to tell a battle on a galactic scale, a clash that was felt in the air from the first Avengers, but that we could only imagine in our thoughts. Well, this time the difference between reality and fantasy is really minimal. Avengers: Infinity War is the superhero crossover that everyone has been waiting for, whether they are avid fans of comic books. The Marvel movies, or simple lovers of cinecomics.
