An Epic Finale

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2019)

We've gotten to know and love these characters through over 20 films over ten years, a fitting ending to the Infinity Saga was of course an extremely difficult task. But the Russo brothers (Joe & Anthony) deliver, once again, a glorious Marvel movie.
After Infinity War, which at the time was the biggest cross-over event in film history, Marvel was on top of everything from the box office to the standards of Comic films. Marvel has excelled at every turn this past decade, Endgame HAD to do and be a lot of things. It had to break all the records Infinity War just broke, and please fans just as thoroughly.
Not only does Endgame feel unique from all that's come before it, it also hones in on what made Marvel great to begin with: it's characters. Endgame's pivotal move was to make this movie extremely Narrative AND Character driven. It didn't bank too hard on its action set pieces or its witty comedy, but they did those exceedingly well too. Endgame had a heart.
We took a stroll down memory lane, it feels like, through some of the best moments through MCU history. Time travel was bound to be a big part at some point in this universe. Marvel (and comic books in general) is no stranger to time travel, parallel dimensions, and alternate timelines; Endgame's excellent use of this narrative shows that Marvel isn't afraid to make bold choices.
Endgame is a PERFECT follow up to the jaw-dropping Infinity War. They take all of our characters, especially our original set of Avengers, and bring them to some very interesting places, literally and figuratively.
I cheered with joy, I bit my lip in anticipation, I sighed, I laughed, I cried; I love this whole saga with my whole heart. Endgame matches the expectations and surpasses them.
It's easily a 10/10
