Sure, Infinity War isn't out yet and it is hard to sell such praise for a film that hasn't been released. But you look at the poster and think, 'Holy cow, this is actually going to happen.' This many characters, a decent number of stars, something unseen in a Super Hero film before. This is almost like How the West Was Won it is so saturated with characters and big actors.
After seeing The Avengers, I felt that film was an absolute blockbuster, a work of art, to transition campy comic books into a viable and serious enough movie for grown adults. I think Whedon is not given enough credit for making such a story work. And since Avengers, the films (sans Ironman) have been getting better and better.
And with Infinity War, we are leaping to a new level from what the Avengers accomplished, going from merging a team to merging a franchise. Granted, I can't imagine how hard it is to merge some much into a single collaboration, but we'll find out. And if done well, where does it place itself among movie history.
