How to watch Avengers Infinity War | Expert Reviews (2024)

Marvel 2019’s blockbuster Avengers Endgame has released in some part of Europe and if early reviews are anything to go by, this could be one of – if not – the biggest film of 2019.

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has given it a 97% rating, calling it “exciting, entertaining and emotionally impactful” and most websites have given it a four or five-star review.

Avengers Infinity War is the culmination of everything you need to watch before watching the upcoming Endgame. Marvel’s cinematic masterpiece is not only the highest-grossing movie of 2018, but one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.

April 2019 will go down as a milestone month for both TV and cinema. On TV, the worldwide smash-hitGame of Throneshas returned for its eighth and final season. In cinema, the (remaining) Avengers – as we know them – assemble one last time to take down Thanos and his seemingly invincible Infinity Gauntlet in Endgame.

Even though Game of Thrones is more of a definitive end to a series, Endgame will be a seminal moment for the Avengers franchise.It’s almost a given that Endgame will mark the exit of a few key superheroes we’ve come to love and move the spotlight onto the newer recruits, such as Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Spiderman, Bucky and Falcon.

We’ve written a detailed guide on how to catch up with all the Game of Thrones episodes before season eight airs in a few days, so it’s only fair we help you catch up with Avengers Infinity War before Avengers Endgame hits theatres in the UK on 24 April.
