'Avengers: Infinity War' is the most ambitious crossover event in history. No, really.

Tagged as the "most ambitious crossover event in history", Avengers Infinity War lived up to it, and did not live up to this catchphrase all at the same time. One thing's for sure, it's definitely going to be the talk of the town like any other Marvel movies. They've always been good in marketing their films, and I think they outdid themselves once again with their latest.

All our favorite Marvel heroes are gathered in this film without knots and tangles. It did not feel overcrowded at all, and it goes to show how each one of them are likable and has something integral to offer. Punchlines are also a bit reserved in this that it maintains the seriousness and inevitable doom that's looming in the background. That or there's really just a yin yang of punchlines and gravitas.

It did not live up to the hype, only in the sense that they were not able to include everyone that we've already seen before from them. Not that it's needed in the story, they did a great job making everyone essential, but people are going to look for this and that, that it might feel like a little let down for some of the fans if they don't see their favorite heroes (or antiheroes) in it.

People should not complain, as it's a good resolution to what they've already presented, and a good beginning to the future of Marvel cinematic universe. They have balls with what they did with the film. They definitely did not hold back, and I'm pretty pleased with it. If it means we won't see another unnecessary sequel for each and every Marvel hero, then fantastic. Half kidding, half serious.

Case in point, the Russo brothers, Marvel and the whole team pulled this off in a mighty way. Might be disappointing for some, but they stood for something, something chaotic and predictably controversial, and I think that's beautiful.
