★★★★
THE NINETEEN films in the Avengers franchise have grossed over $13 billion at the box office globally and that record-breaking run looks set to continue with Infinity War.
Fast and furious, this visually arresting, non-stop action-packed epic showdown of all showdowns proves once again that Marvel Studios are masters of the superhero ensemble game.
In this latest, the Avengers — disbanded in Captain America: Civil War — team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and other key superheroes from the Marvel cinematic universe to stop the ultimate villain Thanos (Josh Brolin, phenomenal) acquiring all six infinity stones which will enable him to destroy half the universe with a click of his finger.
