Avengers: Infinity War Review (No Spoilers)

A film that is 10 years in the making! Avengers: Infinity War (2018, Joe & Anthony Russo)  brings together every aspect of the MCU, all to fight Thanos (Josh Brolin) , a villain who has built up ever since the first Avengers (2012, Joss Whedon) . With Fan excitement at an all-time high, expectations off the scale and a lot to cover in just one film, Infinity War has got a lot of work to do. Can it balance everything?

And yet, whilst being one of the founding members of The Avengers (2015, Joss Whedon)  and starring in a supporting role in other Marvel solo films, she still hasn't had her own film. Fans were hopeful that one would be announced after Lucy(2014. Luc Besson) where she showed her promise as a lead actress in positive reviews an...
