But its a pretty good film. A bit of a mess in some parts, lacking the cohesive and effortless feel infinity war somehow managed to accomplish. Some silly plot holes and characters that could’ve been cut (Ahem, captain marvel and thanos). The use of Captain marvel in this film was just ridiculous. Shes there at the start, bails for some reason? And then pops up at the end to serve no purpose but deux ex machina a space ship…
The past thanos part wasn’t necessary when you think about it, they could’ve done this film without a real ‘villain’ And it would’ve worked and been a original take on a super hero film without using the same formula we have seen in 10+ super hero films already. The entire final battle felt like a rehashed messy battle, with a bunch more characters against thanos – basically mixing the space battle from infinity war; iron man, spider man etc and the final battle of infinity war with captain america, thor etc.. mashing those two into one within this new film. The scenes of trying to pull the gauntlet off his hand.. it all felt like a rehash.
To me the best part of the film was the first act and half of the second, when everyone is lost and trying to figure out how to continue on. really interesting themes that followed the pay off from infinity wars ending. And then the time heist part. Tho the heist part should’ve been much more stretched out. With only small parts of thanos within that, and not having him be the big bad again. But just a side character that gets in the way a little bit.
And the setting up for ‘new avengers’ to replace the beloved actors and characters we have come to associate with these films.. they do not get me at all excited for the next phase in marvel films. Falcon, Valkyrie, blackpanther, cap marvel? I just dont care about them at all. And their actors lack any charisma or depth.
To me this feels like a closing of marvel films that I’ll really enjoy for my pop corn fix. I’ve given infinity war a 10/10 and some of the stand alone films 8’s and 9’s. But I have a sinking feeling this will not be happening in the future except the guardians of the galaxy films.
It seems i maybe in the minority for my feelings towards this film, but im not sugar coating my opinion like it seems a few people are doing due to nostalgia. Its good, but not great. Had the opportunity to be better, maybe? And the setting up of new characters to come possible reflects on my score to… Because i just don’t give two cents about any of them

Not as good as infinity war but a great movie

Not as good as Infinity war pacing-wise, but is a satisfying ending to the saga. High production quality, and a great soundtrack like its predecessor. The final fight did feel a little cliché (two armies brainlessly charging at each other for a typical smackdown). Not much to write about, it made every marvel movie before it worth the ticket.

So it all ends. I have loved most of the MCU, some have been too predictable but I awaited after IW to see how it would all pan out. Firstly some of my favourite characters are a joke. Please don’t dumb Thor or Banner/Hulk down, not necessary. Great starting scene, then slow dramatic next 1.5 hours. It builds to the time travel reversing all section with too many plot holes. We’ve all seen other time reversing movies who have done it so much better. The last hour is spectacular, great to see all the gang back but it feels rushed. Emotion runs high and defo not a kids film in my eyes. Cap is great Stark is amazing but everyone else feels like there just there. What I loved was the beauty of the final scenes, wonderful score and saying goodbye to old friends. Overall wanted more, but even far from perfect is still pretty good.

This film is an emotional rollercoaster with some of the coolest superhero plot lines ever drawn up. It’s straight up the most epic Marvel film that will probably ever be created. I don’t see how Marvel could ever top this, but getting to see these characters all together at least one last time was a reward all on its own.

After watching Infinity war, I was looking forward to much more this time, still a perfect ending.

After Avengers Infinity War, we waited for the Avengers Endgame. We wondered how the story would go on, how our heroes would turn back, what would be the end of Thanos. Many theories related to this have been put forward. Avengers Endgame was undoubtedly the most anticipated film of recent years. Normally, the higher the expectation, the higher the probability of disappointment. But this is not the case for Endgame. Whatever you’re expecting, you find much more in the film. This means that the biggest concern about the film has disappeared.
On the other hand, another comparison comes up. Is Endgame more successful than Infinity War? We can comfortably say it Avengers Infinity War is just the beginning of the story. Endgame was the finale of the story. So we shouldn’t think of these two films as two separate stories. There is only one story divided into two parts.
Avengers Endgame is, above all, a great homage to the ten-year history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The story highlights the original Avengers team. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye are at the center of events. No character comes in front of them. Of course there are many characters that play an important role in the story outside the original Avengers team. Everyone’s concern was that Captain Marvel, who was included in the Marvel world, overshadowed other heroes. We can say that this certainly did not happen. What is important in this struggle is not how strong you are, but how good you are. This comes to the fore in all areas. It gives good message about being a hero and a family.
Of course, Avengers Endgame has some critical aspects. For example, is the three-hour period necessary in terms of the story? It can be discussed. The head of the story moves much slower than the rest. It also drags the heroes into an emotional predicament. Then the tempo is rising and the heavy scenes we are watching are getting more meaningful. The last 45 minutes of the movie is fully action packed. But the last 45 minutes goes so fast that you don’t even realize it. Action and battle scenes are really successful. There is not even a slight distress about visual effects. There are also slight logic errors in the film, but in general the story is so successful that these details become meaningless and insignificant after a certain point.
Lastly, Avengers Endgame doesn’t have a movie end scene. Because after the film’s final, there is no need for another scene. The Marvel legend Stan Lee appears with a small stage. But this is the last surprise scene in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Moreover, there is no clue about Marvel’s future. This makes us wonder more about Spider-Man: Far from Home. 10/10

The ending made all 22 movies worth it

If you’re going to watch this movie, avoid any spoilers, even spoiler free reviews. Which is why I’m not going to say anything about the movie. Not even my opinion. All I’m going to say is:
The crowd applauded 3 times during the movie, and stood up to clap their hands after. This I have never witnessed in a Dutch cinema. Dutch crowds aren’t usually passionate about this. I checked the row where I was sitting, and people were crying. After the movie, I was seeing people with smudged mascara. That’s all I have to say about the movie.
Half this movie is boring, emotional dialogue, unlike the first part all action!
rsvp321 1 August 2019
I have watched the first part many, many times. Every minute of it was accounted for with importance to the plot – not wasted on snowflake emotions.
This second half has an excellent plot, but oh, my – how it dragged on with talk and tears!
I also didn’t like Pepper suddenly being outfitted as a fighter?! lol! And, considering the future hero roles revealed in this one, can we eventually expect a white Black Panther, too?! Don’t get me wrong – I don’t want to see a white Black Panther.
Several other points of disappointment, too.
Bummer.

Don’t get me wrong, the movie was great, but would I watch it a second time? Probably not – until the DVD comes out.
I’ve seen infinity war at least 5 times, and it’s one of my favorite films.
That being said, i will compare the two movies for sure, and I just disliked the pacing, it was all over the place. Some Characters felt off, and some got little to no screen time, where others had too much.
It’s just too many characters for one movie, even though infinity war did it much better, with just as many characters. I just can’t put my finger on it.
The fighting scenes were alright, the first half lacked action, but the second half delivered some good solid scenes, nothing groundbreaking, but fun to watch. They can’t reinvent the wheel, neither do they want to. They stick to what works, and that’s alright.
All in all, the movie was a close 8/10, the fanboys who give it a 10 are just blind to accept the mistakes the movie made. It’s not a perfect film, even an 8 is really generous in my opinion. The Movie works with nostalgia and gives fans of the MCU the things they wanted, more or less.
Still thinking Thor 3 was the best MCU movie. Sue me.
