The stones hold unbelievable power, and put together, create a weapon capable of destroying half the human population in a snap.

Fan favorites are scenes like Rocket the Raccoon wanting to steal Bucky Barnes’s metal arm, or when Star-Lord tries to seem as manly as Thor. This is an ultimate group of superheroes that viewers will not find anywhere else. Sophomore Christian Chambers comments, “[The characters] were portrayed very well.”

Though many moments make the audience cry with laughter, other scenes send hearts racing in terror. The movie immediately begins with a frightful scene during which Thanos reveals his cruelty and strength. Impressive fight scenes with incredible choreography scatter throughout the film, including scenes that allow characters interact with and help characters whom they have not previously met. Avengers: Infinity War offers two  hours and forty minutes of epic imagery and breathtaking plot points.

Sophomore Nour Goulmamine mentions, “I was actually mourning for three whole days. I got so attached to the characters.” This incredible movie is the first of two parts, with the sequel hitting theaters in 2019. If your weekend is free, don’t miss Avengers: Infinity War.
