Avengers Endgame review


The endgame has arrived. Over 20+ movies have been leading to this moment. Avengers Endgame is the epic culmination of years and years of hard work to bring so many different and unique characters to life and boy does it pay off. Taking place not long after Infinity War and that now infamous finger snap that wiped out over half the world's population. The movie begins with our heroes all for the most part separated. Enter Captain Marvel then who isn't in the movie nearly as much as I thought she would be and she vows to kill Thanos. Tony Stark who had been working with Nebula while drifting in space returns to Earth and right away his relationship with Steve Rogers is pushed to the limit. The cast here are as you'd expect. On form. They never miss a beat really and while some jokes are really gyrating and not funny for the most part Avengers Endgame is an amazing experience. One that will make you laugh, make you scream, make you jump for joy and even make you cry.
The Mad Titan himself Thanos makes his return but definitely not in a way you'd think at first. I don't want to really get into much in terms of actual story here as MCU fans including myself have been waiting for this movie for so long that you really just need to go see it for yourself. I will say though that there is a variety of locations on offer here and plenty of throwbacks to previous movies. Special mention must go to Iron Man / Tony Stark however who practically steals the show throughout in what is truly a marvelous performance from Robert Downey Jr. The action sequences are in true MCU style overly stuffed with CGI a plenty but they look fine and are tension filled. The third act alone is something to behold that literally gave me goosebumps.

Avengers Endgame has come and gone and with it I can only really sum it up with one word. Friendship. It won't disappoint really hardcore MCU fans and is as good an action / blockbuster movie that you'll see all year long. It's witty, fast paced and brings to a close not only an incredible era for Marvel cinema but an entire saga as a whole. Avengers Endgame is a special movie with a lot of heart and guts.

★★★★
