They've fought big villains （惡棍）before—alone and together—in 18 films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Now，Marvel's best superheroes must take on their most dangerous enemy yet， Thanos， a warlord（戰神）determined to gain control of the universe.All he needs to succeed are sixsmallgemstones—called the Infinity Stones—with magical powers.So it's going to take every superhero in the land to make a stand against him.

After 18 films， Avengers:Infinity War， released in Chinese mainland cinemas on May 11，is a crossroads for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On the one hand，a lot of things have happened that change the path forward for the characters we've come to know and love over the last decade.On the other hand，the film amounts to a drastic shift in storytelling.In Infinity War， the main character isn't Tony Stark， nor is it Steve Rogers，Thor or Doctor Strange.

In fact，the main character isn't any one of our super-

在漫威電影宇宙的18部電影中，超級英雄們都曾與大反派戰斗，不論是單打獨斗還是團隊作戰。

如今，漫威最棒的超級英雄需要對陣迄今為止最危險的敵人——決心控制整個宇宙的滅霸。要想做到這一點，滅霸需要集齊六顆具有魔力的無限寶石。所以這次，宇宙中所有的超級英雄都挺身而出，與之對抗。

《復仇者聯盟3:無限戰爭》已于5月11日在國內上映。在18部漫威電影之后，這部大片來到了漫威電影宇宙的十字路口。

一方面，過去十年間發生了太多事情，這改變了大眾所熟知和喜愛的諸多角色的發展方向。另一方面，這部電影在敘事方面也有了巨大的轉變。在《復聯3》中，主角并非托尼·史塔克，也不是史蒂文·羅杰斯、托爾或者奇異博士。

事實上，主角并非是任何一位超級英heroes at all，but Thanos.

But the movie isn't told from Thanos'point of view.Instead，Infinity War does an excellent job of explaining why this bad guy wants to have all of the Infinity Stones.

Make no mistake， he's still the enemy.However， Infinity War does such a good job that at a few parts you nod along and say to yourself， “OK， Thanos， now I know why you want to do this.”

The biggest surprise about Infinity War is how well the movie flows together.At no point is the film at all confusing.We understand who is fighting with whom，and what the risks and rewards are for each fight.It's not overcrowded，like one might believe，even with so many heroes involved.

Science fiction author Douglas Adams once wrote，“Space is big.You just won't believe how vast， huge...big it is.I mean，you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's （藥店）， but that's just peanuts to space.”

Replace the word “space” with Avengers:Infinity War，and you have a reasonable idea of the scope of his movie—in terms of cast， complexity， and box office revenue（收益）.

Indeed，it's both big and ambitious.雄，而是滅霸。

但電影并非從滅霸的視角展開，而是極好地解釋了為何這個反派想要收集所有的無限寶石。

別弄錯了，他還是敵人。然而，《復聯3》的絕妙之處就在于，看到影片其中的幾處，你會不時點頭，并對自己說：“好吧，滅霸，我明白你為什么要這么做了。”

《復聯3》中最大的驚喜在于劇情發展相當流暢。影片中沒有一處令人感到困惑。我們明白誰正在與誰作戰，每場戰斗會有什么樣的風險和回報。就算有諸多超級英雄參演其中，它也并沒有像一些人預想的那樣過度擁擠。

科幻作家道格拉斯·亞當斯曾寫道：“宇宙很大。你不會相信它有多么宏大。我是說，你或許會認為去藥店的路途很遠，但那只是宇宙中的滄海一粟。”

將亞當斯所說的宇宙換成 《復聯3》，你就會了解這部電影的規模——演員陣容、復雜程度以及票房收入——有多么宏大了。

的確，這是部鴻篇巨制。
