(#72) Avengers: Endgame (2019) - [8.5/10]

10-years of and 22 movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes to a end with this epic climax.

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe.

How would I describe this film in one word?

Touching.

Note

Okay. This is a big one. And there needs to be plenty to talk about this one. But I'm kind of in a rush which is sad but I'll still talk about it. But the good news is, this movie was touching.

Review

Yes, this movie was touching, emotional. Not quite the word you were expecting for this movie right? Well, it's not only because it's been 11 years since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I've seen and lived and grown up with all these characters for over a decade and their story is officially coming to a conclusion, yes, it was all a lot to take in and it's very sad. But in general, the theme of the movie was pretty unconventional to the general MCU, fewer light-hearted jokes, fewer easy-goings and higher stakes and more seriousness. They knew they had to be serious cause it's the official end the stories of the main characters. And P.S. the death(s) will kill you. It was a nice change to be honest and I liked it. But it's just very different to what you saw in Infinity War where it was action packed and packed with wit. It's a sequel and one which is a part of a franchise so it certainly wouldn't be understood by the neutral viewer. It's a very complex, intelligent plotline and very tense and gripping. I feel actors in superhero movies and underappreciated for their efforts but I want to commend them here to fulfilling and living their characters to the fullest for nearly 10 years and serving absolute justice to their comic book characters and performing them in a way which we could grow to love, adore, and cherish in our memories forever.

I don't what it is about comic book movies, there isn't normally a lot that can be said about it, I just find it difficult to review, the Dark Knight and Logan being the exceptions. But nonetheless, I happen to enjoy it tremendously. So, given that justification of mine, can I end the review there and say I really enjoyed the movie and it was heart-warming? Okay, I'll do that.
