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.

Story: 9.5
Acting: 10
Pacing: 10
Special Eff: 10

Verdict: 9.9

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
