Despite some uneven bits, Avengers: Infinity War is a relentless joyride that fulfills and gratifies.

Avengers: Infinity War Synopsis
The mad Titan Thanos moves to collect all six Infinity Stones, beginning by attacking the Asgardian refugee spacecraft from Thor: Ragnarok. He then dispatches his minions to Earth to claim Dr. Strange’s Time Stone and Vision’s Mind Stone.
As one after another hero fall, the Avengers are forced to put aside their differences and deal with the cosmic threat together. However, even their combined might may not be enough to stop Thanos. The Titan gains new godly powers with every Infinity Stone he finds.
Snappy Review
Do you like crossover movies with large ensemble casts? Well, I do, very much. Unfortunately, the truth is that apart from the occasional gem, most crossover movies never truly satisfy.
Inevitably, it’s a case of nobody’s favourite hero getting enough limelight, or one getting way too much. And then there’s the situation of too much story for everybody, such as in Justice League. Everything becomes a wearisome drag before a half-hour is over.
The much anticipated Avengers: Infinity War isn’t free of such pitfalls. In fact, I think it’s particularly pronounced for characters like Black Widow and Bucky, both barely seen, and Hawkeye who’s inexplicably on sabbatical.
Brush these aside, though, and the movie is a stellar joyride. One that is confident and slick with its scripting, and more importantly, with a complex villain who isn’t there just to be gang bashed. For me, what’s doubly enjoyable is also the replicated Marvel cartoon crossover flavour, a style that typically involves numerous realms traversing spiced with irreverent banter that ends as abruptly as it begins.
On the latter, admittedly some of the exchanges in the movie, such as those between Thor and the Guardians, come across as rather out-of-sync. But as with the case with limelight, the rest of the movie is simply too fun for this to matter. The audacious ending, in an unexpected way, also helps to compensate. As in, you will regret not paying attention to a friend, when he was still around to annoy you.
Where Are the Infinity Stones Before Infinity War?
So that you don’t have to struggle to remember where the stones are, here’s a quick rundown:
The Power Stone (Purple): Already in possession by Thanos.
The Mind Stone (Amber): On Vision’s forehead.
The Space Stone (Blue): Within the Tesseract. Taken by Loki from Asgard before the Nordic realm was destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok.
The Time Stone (Green): Protected by Dr. Strange and Wong.
The Reality Stone (Red): Owned by the Collector of Knowhere.
The Soul Stone (Orange): Location unknown

I enjoyed reading this review! I liked how you started the review by talking about what you didn’t like about the film. Bucky not getting a lot of screen-time is something that I agree with you on. However, before I saw Avengers: Infinity War, I knew, as a Bucky fan, that some superheroes were going to receive more screen-time than others. I also reviewed Avengers: Infinity War, so please check it out if you get the chance!
