Movie Review: Avengers Infinity War





**Spoilers (but not about what happens to certain people)**

It has been 10 years in the making of this wonderful masterpiece that is Avengers: Infinity War. When Iron Man came out I was only the young age of 10 and now I’m 20. The Marvel Comic Universe (MCU) has been a part of half of my life. They are part of the reason why I love movies so much; even for me not being a huge comic book nerd. So, you can imagine the excitement going through my entire body walking in to see this movie opening weekend on Sunday.

To sum it all up; Thanos wants the six infinity stones (time, reality, soul, mind, space, power) and he will do everything humanly/alien species way possible to get them. He believes that the universe needs help and to save the it he must kill half of the species who live within it. Stupid right? To think, if he has all these different stones couldn’t he make more food or make everyone be equal. Just something where people don’t have to DIE! But besides the point, in the film we get to see all of our favorite heroes team up to defeat Thanos. Ending in a HUGE battle in Wakanda and the planet Titan.

 Josh Brolin played an amazing Thanos. He has to be a good villain, seeing that he's playing Cable in the upcoming Deadpool 2 movie. The movie you can say was told in his point of view but at the same time it wasn't. You get to see some of his past and his father-daughter relationship with Gamora plus his point of view of the world.


Looking back on the film, I believe the two standouts were Thor and Doctor Strange.
After seeing Thor: Ragnarok, we know that Thor can bring some comedic relief which he does in this film. With his interactions with the Guardians to introducing Groot as his friend “Tree.” There’s also the fact that he is the God of Thunder and the movie really shows that off to the audience. With his new axe the “stormbreaker” he enters the fight in Wakanda like it’s nobody’s business.  I don’t know how to describe it except for the fact that it’s “ELECTRIFYING,” if you know what I mean.


Then there is Doctor Strange, who’s solo film I think is better than where other people may place it on their marvel list. Nonetheless, in the film we get too see some amazing powers from him. At one point he has like 50 arms and then later duplicates  himself to attack Thanos. I believe for a fact that Strange is up there with the most powerful heroes in the bunch. He also has some hilarious interactions with people such as Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Peter Parker (Spiderman). Above all that he gives us the most information on what is to come in the second half of the unnamed Avengers movie.  He mentions how there’s only one way they can win out of all the possible outcomes that he has seen. So, I feel as if that’s why he gave the time stone to Thanos and saved Tony’s life. There’s only one way this can go right.

I would have to say I have three scenes that were above all my favorites. The first would have to be when the Guardians of the Galaxy met Thor. With Quill (Starlord) trying to one up Thor, Thor calling Rocket a rabbit, and Drax describing Thor as a pirate/angel is hilarious.  The second is when Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Starlord, Drax, Mantis, Spider-man, and Nebula are all trying to defeat Thanos on the planet Titan. Lastly, again the scene where Thor arrives in Wakanda and defeats a whole bunch of the alien monsters at once. What can I say, I love me some Thor/ Chris Hemsworth.



I really, deeply, and truly loved this movie as a fan and having been here from the beginning. However, I will say you have to have already been a fan to watch this one, or else you’ll just be confused. However, after laughing and crying my way through Infinity War, I hope to go to the theater to see it a second time. That way the pain of having to wait a whole year for the next one will not hurt that much.

I do on the other hand have two questions that have been jumping around in my mind for the past couple of days.

Will Hawkeye and Ant-man come in the second half?

And what happened to Valkyrie, Korg, and Meek? You would only understand that question if you’ve seen Thor: Ragnarok and seen the beginning of Avengers: Infinty War.

Movie Review: I Feel Pretty

I don’t tend to hate on a lot of movies, because I always seem to enjoy any movie I watch in some way. However, this one was a bummer. I enjoy Amy Schumer as a person and her other movie Trainwreck was hilarious to me, but I Feel Pretty just didn’t go well. A short summary of the movie would be about a not skinny, but not fat woman gets knocked out falling of a bike at soul cycle. Then after waking up her confidence gets boosted and she believes she is drop dead gorgeous. She can apply to the job she wanted and ask some guy out. The ending message is your beautiful no matter what size you are or how you look. Though the message was plan and simple it was hard to understand that coming from Amy Schumer. Schumer is not skinny, but she is not fat either. She’s also not what you would call ugly. So, I don’t get how they were trying to portray her as that. However, besides the iffy message being told this movie was supposed to be a comedy. Walking into the movie, mos...

Movie Review: Happy Death Day

I am not big into horror movies and some may say that Happy Death Day is not really one, it is more like suspense. However, I enjoyed watching this movie. What is so incredible about this film is that it had a low budget and an amazing piece of work came out of that. I also recently found out that this movie was made by the same person, Jason Blum, who did Get Out and Split and I love those two. I was watching Screen Junkies on YouTube and they said something I totally agreed with. That is if you get a good director/producer on the film, a good story, and not a big budget then there is a better chance the film is going to be good or even one of the best films of the year. When you give people a bunch of money they just waste it on the top actors and actresses of Hollywood and on special effects that take away from what the film is about. The only question I had that kept running through my head was why Tree (main character) got the chance to find out who killed her repe...

Movie Review: The Shape Of Water

I was finally able to get to watching some of the Oscar nominated movies of 2018. The first one I got to watch was The Shape of Water which to me was just a lovely story set in 1962 Baltimore, following a mute custodian at a high-security government laboratory who befriends a captured humanoid-amphibian creature. It gave me The Little Mermaid vibes and Ariel is my favorite Disney princess. Except in this case the girl is human and becomes a sea creature instead of the other way around. I enjoyed this movie use of a mute person, which allowed you to see the physical chemistry between the animal and Elisa. But I will mention that the scene where they have sex kind of creeps me out. Though anyone should be able to be with who they want to be, it still grossed me out. Also, why did Elisa assume a towel by the door was going to stop water from coming out of the bathroom???? My favorite aspect of this movie though was the soundtrack/score. Though most of was in French, so I ...
