This is the big one folks! The 19th movie in The Marvel Universe. The Marvel Cinematic Universe "movie of all movies"!
This is going to be a very brief synopsis from me about this movie.
We critics were asked to keep a lid on the story so that every person can enjoy this movie without spoiling any part of it. We had a strict embargo that we were asked to adhere to.
I have chosen to honor this request to keep it authentic. #Thanosdemandsyoursilence!
I will say that I knew this movie was going to be a bit shocking, I was in no way prepared for all of the carnage that took place!
Thanos (Josh Brolin) is a diabolical super-villain who has just arrived and is on a mission to collect all six of the Infinity Stones, he will stop at nothing to obtain them!
That is all I am going to divulge. I will say that this is a very dramatic and emotional movie.
In light of all the seriousness of it, it was actually pretty humorous as well. I would say that it is the total package. Make sure you stay until all of the credits have finished, there is a very important scene you can't miss!
Parents be advised: This movie is rated PG-13. This is a strong PG-13. Lots and lots of super-villain violence, very intense and some strong profanity too. I would recommend no children under the age of 13.
I am giving "Avengers: Infinity War" four bags of popcorn.

Rampage
PG-13
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Naomi Harris, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jake Lacy, Malin Ackerman, Joseph Manganiello, P.J. Byrne and Demetrius Grosse
Running Time: 1 Hour and 47 Minutes
In case you you were not aware, the movie "Rampage" is loosely based on the very popular 1986 arcade game by Bally Midway. I will honestly admit that I went into this movie with zero expectations. I found myself immediately drawn in and completely engrossed in this movie! It reminded me of my childhood adventure movies that held my complete interest and kept me on the edge of my seat.
This is the story of a Primatoligist Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson) who works closely with primates and has become very close and attached to a silverback gorilla named George, to the point that he can converse with him through sign language. George is a very intelligent and human-like gorilla who has been raised by Davis since birth. The two of them share a very special relationship.
A renegade experiment had taken place by some unethical characters, the experiment went awry and all chaos ensues! A dangerous chemical is released into the atmosphere and it adversely affects the gorilla George, an alligator in the Florida Everglades and a wolf in Wyoming.
It causes them to become super-sized, get very angry and become extremely violent! The three of them converge on the City of Chicago where a signal is being released and they are drawn to it.
This is where the ultimate showdown takes place!
Like I said in the beginning, this is just an edge of your seat popcorn movie. It really did take me back to my childhood days when I would watch the old "King Kong" movies and be completely captivated.
I actually really did enjoy this action/adventure movie, it was just a fun thrill ride. The special effects were great too.
Parents be advised: This is a PG-13 rated movie. That allows for more flexibility. This movie has a lot of monster type violence. There is a lot of profanity, even the f-bomb is dropped in this movie.
I am giving "Rampage" three and a half bags of popcorn.
