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.

What's missing from "Endgame" is the free play of imagination, the liberation of speculation, the meandering paths and loose ends that start in logic and lead to wonder.

The MCU will go on and on, but this chapter - and the American pragmatism vs. American ideals bromance that drove it - have well and truly come to their "Excelsior! Nuff said!" moment.

Endgame consists almost entirely of the downtime scenes that were always secretly everyone's favorite parts of these movies anyway.

There are horror movies and political dramas with premises less nightmarish than the one in "Avengers: Endgame... This is an interesting approach for a superhero film to take.

You can easily duck out during the middle hour, do some shopping, and slip back into your seat for the climax. You won't have missed a thing.

Avengers: Endgame is better and more nourishing than Infinity War, but it's still the same long con.

With Avengers: Endgame, it some ways they've made the most adult superhero film yet. Because there are consequences. And things matter.

To compare to Infinity War, I think that Endgame has the better storyline, the more satisfying conclusion, better conclusion, and much richer emotions.

[Avengers: Endgame] is a very fitting conclusion to Phase 1, 2 and 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Bring a box of tissues, because it's an emotional roller coaster ride.
