Do not go in blind.

Rating: 2/10 (30 April 2019)

First, let me preface by saying I've only seen one other movie in MCU and that was Ant-Man. A friend had an extra ticket and did not want to go alone. I completely understand that there were plenty other movies that lead up to this one, but I still saw Endgame and this is the take of someone not heavily invested in MCU.
The movie by itself and very clichÃ© and boring, and I will say that without having seen the other films there is no character development to allow you build any emotional connection with any of the characters.
The movie was off to a decent start with some mild humor and storyline, but nearing the last hour I lost all interest. The movie just gave into an overly long and clichÃ© fight scene showing you how many different characters from other movies they could shove in. From there it just played out exactly as one would expect. There were a couple deaths here and there, but those characters were lost with no emotional attachment built during the film. My takeaway was relief when the credits finally rolled.
If you like predictable, action movies then this is probably the movie for you. If you are not familiar with the MCU franchise, this is definitely not the place to familiarize. If you are looking for a movie with substance and takeaway, then this is also not the movie for you.
