by Scott Collura: \u201cUsing the strength of its powerful and interesting villain to set the stakes higher than ever, Avengers: Infinity War successfully brings together the past 10 years of Marvel movies into a largely effective cocktail of super-heroic dramatics. The fact that it manages to give nearly every member of its admittedly overstuffed cast at least a moment to shine is its greatest feat. Sure, it ends on a cliffhanger, but those final moments elevate the entire series in a poetic, if horrific, coup de grace.\u201d”,”height”:720,”width”:1280,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/12\/18\/aiw-1545176226065.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/12\/18\/aiw-1545176226065_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”The Best Reviewed Movies of 2018″,”relativePosition”:”02″,”albumTotalCount”:25},{“caption”:”Read the full review by Jim Vejvoda: \u201cBlack Panther delivers the goods as an adventure film, a political statement, and a cultural celebration. It shakes off a sluggish start thanks to a memorable cast of characters going up against Marvel\u2019s best-realized villain in almost a decade. Some of the vibrance is drained by cartoonish visual effects that endanger the very human feel of the story, but the emotional weight of its themes and the cast\u2019s compelling performances ultimately keep the film on track.
