Movie Review: Marvel's Avengers Infinity War






I think Avengers 3 is the best Marvel movie ever made so far. To be honest that really should surprise no one. 2018 has been a great year for Marvel. Black Panther was amazing also, and expect a review for that soon.                

Infinity War, is a movie 10 years in the making. The evil Thanos is basically the main Marvel villain. I didn’t really read the comics or I’d have known this already. He’s the one who sent Loki to earth with the Jatari. So hes basically the main villain. The movie starts really right after Thor Ragnarok ended….Thanos attacks Thor and his crew. It’s a brilliant scene. Unfortunately only Thor and Hulk survive the encounter….

This movie is really quite simple in structure. Its just dialogue by the Avengers usually and fight scenes. There’s lots of them and they are really dope. The goal of the Avengers is a simple one….stop Thanos from getting all 6 infnity stones. Easier said than done. I cannot share everything but yes they fail. Also the children of Thanos are really good fighters too. Thanos’ spokesman, a black mage is really powerful. Lets just say he beats Dr. Strange with minimal effort. While insulting the man lol.

Thanos himself is not a heartless killer, although he appears to be. He’s a villain with incredible dexterity…and good lines to boot. This is a dark movie! Yes noticeably dark, and a cliffhanger. Not all the Avengers are back, but of course the main ones are here like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Also there’s Guardians of the Galaxy crew like Starlord, Gamora, and Nebula. The newbies are here too like Spiderman and Black Panther. The latter whose movie you really need to see before this…

Thanos commits a kind of “balanced genocide” against people….to him this is “mercy”. Thanos is the step dad of Gamora. He’s not just powerful like Hulk but he’s very smart. A deadly combination. Give him infinity stones like Space and Reality and you have a villain who is ALMOST UNBEATABLE. With all 6 stones he can snap his fingers and kill half the people in the universe…whoa.

The movie is still kinda funny as all Marvel movies are…I really liked the battles. The battle on Titan is dope. With Thanos vs. Half the Avengers lol. Then at the same time the children of Thanos attack Wakanda with an army of evil monster aliens. The movie is over 2 and da half hours long and it never seems dull or boring. The pacing is truly perfect.

This incredible cast of characters are what really fuels the movie. Its so fun to see characters interact with each other. Iron Man is good in this, as is Captain America…and it should be noted that they never even speak once during the film. After getting the time stone Thanos goes straight for Wakanda and Vision, who technically is the Mind Stone, the last infinity Stone. The scene is beautiful and tense. Scarlett Witch is the only Avenger powerful to destroy the Mind stone….She and Vision are dating which is important really for that final scene. I gotta say Vision disappointed me in this film. In Avengers 2 he seriously turned the tide against Ultron. But here he seems very weak.

Ultimately Thanos wins. Unfortunately the most powerful Avenger, Thor, gets a new weopon which is more powerful than his trademark hammer which his evil sister Hela. He uses it to attack Thanos but he doesn’t get the kill. So that sets up Avengers 4 next year. Director Fury has a scene at the end of the credits in which he barely sends a distress signal to Captain Marvel….I cannot wait to see her film next year and of course Avengers 4.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
