Needless to say, Avengers: Endgame was the most anticipated movie of all time, right at the top, together with Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Avengers: Infinity War. And as predicted by many has broken numerous records at the box office and will continue to do so till the end of its run. I have tried my best to review this movie without giving out any spoilers. And I must say it is really difficult.
Avengers: Infinity War was one of the movies with the fastest pace in the MCU with no breathing space between the scenes. On the other hand Endgame starts off slowly by focusing on the aftermath of the decimation and how the different characters have been affected by it. However once the events start to unfold, the movie keeps picking up pace from one scene to another till the climax. While the movie is enjoyable, some parts could have been shortened to increase the pace. However those are also the parts that lend some soul to the movie. Thus it would have been difficult for the directors to edit out those parts. After the mammoth scale of Avengers: Infinity War, it was always going to be difficult to bring a story which matched it in scale. However since both of them were written together, not only has the scale been matched, but it has been surpassed. The only drawback that I can see is that the ending is not so good as that of Infinity War as it does not bring out a similar range of emotions. However considering that this is the end of the franchise, the ending is apt. There were a lot of fan theories doing the rounds and some turn out to be true while a lot don't. However, as far as my knowledge goes, no one expected the story to go this way, and thus the Russo Brothers have outdone all the fans and made a memorable movie. The movie has spectacular levels of VFx and CGI not seen before in MCU movies. Even the last action scene, which can be compared to Aquaman's last action sequence in scale, is presented in a way that is way better than the sequence of the DC movie.
Acting wise, all the actors have played their role in the same vein that they have done in their past movies, which is a testament to their consistency and talent. One can however argue that they did not get a chance to do anything different. Only Chris Hemsworth has some additional shades and gets to play his part like we have not seen in the past movies.
All the credit here needs to go to the Russo brothers for directing this epic and making it work. The way they directed and presented the two Avenger movies is nothing less than spectacular. Now I do not think they will be on board to direct another movie of this scale, as achieving this level of near perfection is not possible each time, which we have seen with other good directors.
Overall the movie is for every Marvel and MCU fan who was waiting for this for the last one year. So go ahead and watch this, if you haven't done it already. It is worth every penny of your money.
Rating - 4 / 5
