This movie was different from what I expected it to be. In Thor The Dark World you get to see the first Infinity Stone “Aether” and you get to witness a tragic and funny event by the God of Mischief. In this movie, Thor is trying to bring peace throughout the realms but encounters Malekith. This is an amazing movie to watch and I would recommend this to people who loved the first Thor movie. My opinion over this movie is marvelous.

After more than a decade of Marvel movies building up to this point Marvel has made an amazing movie. Since the start of Marvel’s first movie, building up to this movie where all of the heroes were fighting side by side together was astonishing. Infinity War was a well-thought-out movie which had comedy, action, adventure, loss, and sadness. In this movie, Thanos was searching for the Infinity Stones to wipe out half of the universe.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a spectacular movie .Everything you can ask for in a movie is clustered into this new and improved movie. This has action, comedy, adventure, mystery, and stupidity. The story begins with five members who have nothing in common. They steal from an organization that they recently helped and they were being hunted. They crashed into a planet and met Star-Lord’s, the leader of the Guardians, father. This movie is different from the first movie and I know that is why I like it.

Guardians of the Galaxy is an acquired taste. I recommend this movie for people who are not serious all the time. This movie is funny, confusing, tasteful, and weird. It starts with five members who have nothing in common and all come together to kill each other because a character, Star-Lord, was carrying an Infinity Stone. They go to prison, fly a ship, beat up Kree soldiers, and hold an Infinity Stone.

T’Challa became the Black Panther and doing so created new forces he could not compete with.

Doctor Strange is different from the Marvel characters we currently know. Instead of physically fighting, Doctor Strange resorts to the arts of magic to defend himself and the multiversal barrier between magic and reality. Steven Strange was a neurosurgeon who got caught into a car crash. He went on an adventure to see if his hands could be fixed but on his way he discovered magic. I like how Doctor Strange is different from other superheroes in the Marvel Universe because he shows a type of skill and a unique personality against every other character.
