[Spoiler Alert] Avengers: Infinity War Is Unbelievably Good

Is it just me or does Iron Man's head look really big in the poster?

I watched Avengers: Infinity War on Friday and I have never been so blessed by a movie. I can confidently say that it's the best thing I've seen in my life. Not my favorite thing - that spot is taken by Austenland - but certainly the best thing. I've never even watched the first two Avengers films, or any of the Iron Man or Thor films, but wow this movie is something else. There definitely will be spoilers in this review, so please do yourself a favor and stop reading until you've watched it.

As everyone knows, this movie brings all the superheroes together into one action-packed, sassy dialogue-filled film. There are so many hilarious lines, and it's literally the best thing getting to see different superheroes who don't know each other finally meet. Actually, it's awesome getting to see superheroes who do know each other see each other again too. Every character was a highlight. There are so many laugh out loud moments, and I distinctly remember one moment when I visibly flinched.

And yes, like many people, I was this close to sobbing at the end. I don't keep up with Marvel news much, so I had innocently gone into Infinity War confident that yes, the movie would be brilliant, but also that no matter what happened during the film, there would be a happy ending for everybody, more or less. When Thanos got all six infinity stones, I know for a fact that I recalled the Third Act Structure of screenwriting and mentally commented on how the writer was really dedicated to making the audience feel like no way could the characters get out of this mess - I smiled to myself because of course they'd save the world though. BUT WHAT A LIE.

I'm very happy I made my foolish, mistaken assumptions, however, because the shock factor is such a thrill. I want to rewatch this movie another one or two times at minimum, but I'm the laziest person in the world, and slipping on non-pajama clothes and putting on my poor excuse for makeup is something I'd rarely voluntarily do. I can't wait until the DVD comes out so I can rewatch and cry in private to my heart's content.

I'm so happy the next Avengers film is coming out next year because excuse me, I need answers. And closure.
