"Avengers: Infinity War" lives up to the hype, at least according to those who had the pleasure of seeing the first screening at Monday night's premiere.
The highly anticipated Marvel blockbuster brings (pretty much) the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe together to fight the evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) in an epic battle that may end some beloved superheroes' lives.

The weirdest thing bout #AvengerInfinityWar is that it's almost certainly the darkest marvel movie ever made, and probably one of the darkest superhero movies ever made. But it's also one of the funniest too. Idk how the Russo's nailed the balance.
@ConnerWS
I saw #AvengerInfinityWar last night and my life has been in shambles ever since. Prepare your hearts and minds, saints.
@SylviaObell

Avengers Infinity War is a colossal high impact action movie with lots of great humor and a spectacularly unpredictable ending. Brolin is excellent. Avoid spoilers.

I liked #Avengers #InfinityWar more than a lfew other folks I'm talking to after the premiere. It's hugely emotional and very funny but some might find it ... I need to sleep on this.
@JimVejvoda
Avengers: Infinity War blew my mind. I have never left a film this awestruck. Ever. Thanos is a force of Nature. Thor is the MVP. Marvel Studios lays down the Infinity Gauntlet with this one.

Had the pleasure of watching #Avengers: #InfinityWar. One of the most unique MCU films, IW has a distinct Marvel/Russo feel, while also bringing a TON of emotional layers, dodging many MCU tropes, & carried by a magnificent villain in #Thanos

So overwhelmed at what I saw in #AvengersInfinityWarPremiere I'm still processing. It's an epic event unlike anything you ever seen. I would follow the Russo's advice about staying offline because the movie has major reveals!

So #InfinityWar takes the Marvel universe to a whole new orbit.

Emotionally, narratively, visually, Avengers: Infinity War a very impressive piece of entertainment and storytelling. Somehow, it left me exhausted and excited at the same time. pic.twitter.com/YPICbbNNyQ
