Gisteren was de première van de langverwachte Marvel-film Avengers: Infinity War. Daarmee mochten ook de eerste reacties op sociale media verschijnen en die schetsen een duidelijk beeld van wat we mogen verwachten. De film van regisseurs Anthony en Joe Russo lijkt een zeer goed ontvangen film te worden, vol humor en geweld. Het enige kritiekpunt dat we echt kunnen vinden ligt in het feit dat het als het eerste van een tweedelig verhaal voelt en daardoor incompleet is.
Het geheel begint met Thanos (Josh Brolin), een Titaan die de vernietiging van zijn eigen planeet aanschouwde. Hij wil de rest van het universum voor deze ondergang behoeden en besluit dus de Infinity Stones te verzamelen, in een poging daarmee de helft van het leven uit te roeien. Zijn missie brengt hem naar de Aarde, waar op dat moment de Avengers verzameld zijn en weerstand bieden. Zij krijgen daarbij hulp van de Guardians of the Galaxy.
Hun strijd is vanaf morgen in de bioscoop te zien.
I saw #AvengersInfinityWar earlier tonight and I can say that it delivers. There's a lot of really fun character interactions, some cool action moments (Thor's powers, Iron Man's suit), and a few powerful emotional beats. Most of the humor is 👌🏻 Also Captain America is 💥 pic.twitter.com/WoZNPDpGXk

#AvengersInfinityWar: #Marvel puts it all on the table and wipes it off. Stress-inducing, full of dread, darker than usual, yet, funny as hell and super entertaining. Terrifying Thanos razes the ground without mercy. Blockbuster noise? Yes, but with emotional stakes attached. pic.twitter.com/3zWP5LtCCk

#AvengersInfinityWar: Despite some truly thrilling moments, feels like less than the sum of its parts. A definite step down after that epic run of GotGV2 / Spidey / Thor 3 / Black Panther, but what else did I expect?

Buy a ticket for a second viewing of #AvengersInfinityWar now. The movie delivers, it's huge, and no one in your theater is going to be able to sit quietly through this one. Expect the unexpected. pic.twitter.com/8eobaAYrSF

Avengers #InfinityWar is epic, emotional and most of all, shocking. Marvel just raised the stakes higher than you can believe. pic.twitter.com/KnqJICe7fC

#AvengersInfinityWar wrecked me and it's probably going to wreck you. Can't wait to see it again.

I am overwhelmed. The movie is epic beyond compare. LOVED it. My legs are still shaking. It's a gigantic @Marvel masterpiece. So much to say but I'll stay Silent Bob til Monday so as not to slip in spoilers. Suffice to say it's gonna be a looooong year until @Avengers 4... pic.twitter.com/aHnsgj5MK0

Jaw on ground. You are not ready for 'Avengers: Infinity War'. All you have to know is AVOID ALL SPOILERS! Seriously. Go in knowing as little as possible. The @Russo_Brothers did the impossible. Wow. pic.twitter.com/noKZ5cQWdc

Had the pleasure of watching #Avengers: #InfinityWar. One of the most unique MCU films, IW has a distinct Marvel/Russo feel, while also bringing a TON of emotional layers, dodging many MCU tropes, & carried by a magnificent villain in #Thanos

From beginning to end, #AvengersInfinityWar is non-stop action. It's really dynamic and jaw-dropping, but at times, it could have stopped for air and give us more substance on plot points. Loved it when the audience clapped as soon as #BlackPanther & #okoye entered the scene.

Avengers: Infinity War blew my mind. I have never left a film this awestruck. Ever. Thanos is a force of Nature. Thor is the MVP. Marvel Studios lays down the Infinity Gauntlet with this one.

#AvengersInfinityWar is the MCU's biggest soap opera ever, and that's not a bad thing. Feels more like a sequel to Guardians, and you'll get to see what makes a Mad Titan tick. We will have A LOT to unpack soon.

#AvengersInfinityWar: Imagine taking a giant bowl and filling it with every flavor of ice cream and every topping.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR is very weighty and juggles most of its characters with consideration. It's the closest thing to a Paul Thomas Anderson movie you'll find in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I Am Shook! #Marvel #AvengersInfinityWar pic.twitter.com/YgntkXFIkv

#AvengersInfinityWar is my second fave @Marvel movie after #BlackPanther. The superhero interplay is hilarious and surprising at every turn. The action is monumental. And there are actual stakes this time around. Kevin Feige is not f-cking around with this one.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR: A movie version of a massive comic-book crossover, for better (fun character interactions) and worse (it's pretty much all Infinity Stone shenanigans). YMMV. #avengersinfinitywar

#Avengers #InfinityWar is a lot to process. I can't believe Marvel Studios pulled this off as we move towards the end of an era.

Is #AvengersInfinityWar the best MCU film? No. #BlackPanther just came out (and dropped the mic). But this is top tier MCU. Thanos is a fully realized villain with understandable motivations.

Just got out of the #AvengersInfinityWar premiere. The movie is incredible, epic beyond compare. It's everything you want it to be. Iron Man and Captain America fuck within the first fifteen minutes. Marvel fans are going to love this one - EASILY top five.

The final minutes of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR are heartstopping. Can't wait for the next one. Marvel wins again. #AvengersInfinityWar #Avengers #InfinityWar

The pacing of Avengers: Infinity War is fast, so fast I often had trouble catching some of the witty repartee. While it is long, it feels less like watching one big movie and more like ADDing through clips from three or four different movies on YouTube.

There is going to be a LOT to unpack about AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR over the next few weeks, and I don't know exactly how it's going to play to 'mainstream' audiences, but as a 10-year fan of the MCU a few times I found myself smiling out loud or at awe of .... (cont.)
