Avengers: Endgame

It is this part of the story, the human side, to narrow it down to our marginal planet, that holds the movie together for its three-hour run time.

This is a feat of engineering... I felt a sense of catharsis finishing it.

It would be nearly unfathomable to have spent more than 20 preceding films with these characters and not feel anything at the end of the sometimes tedious, mostly satisfying Avengers: Endgame.

What you will be getting when you walk into an inevitably overstuffed movie theater is something singular that reflects our age in a way that none of the MCU films that preceded it have-indeed, very few Hollywood spectacles ever have.

The 3-hour culmination of 22 chapters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is worth going back in time and watching again.

The only complaint about Avengers: Endgame is that it raises the bar so high that there may well never be a superhero movie to match it.

The fight scenes, while chaotic and intermittently exhilarating, are unable to avoid repetition; such is the nature of invincible entities dueling other invincible entities.

"Avengers: Endgame" was a wonderful surprise, filling almost every minute (all 181 of them) with excitement, drama, humor, and visually interesting and entertaining intrigue.

What The Russo Brothers did here is take high expectations and blow them out of the water with an emotionally thrilling finale. Get ready to be moved!

The only thing that I know for sure has ended with the Marvel Cinematic Universe is my patience.
