Infinity War & Endgame...Perfectly balanced, as all things should be...

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2019)

I feel I must add to my initial review.
First og all, to appreciate this movie you must have seen all the other movies, and preferable be somewhat of a Comics geek.
Myself I started reading superhero comics in 1976, DC, Gigant, the Justice League vs Dr. Light...loved it! I then started with Marvel in the 80s. My favorites were Thor and Iron Man. Others; Spiderman, Hulk, and Dr. Strange.
Timetravel:
There is voiced a lot of disapointment of the plot, timetravel. I have no problem with that. To do it WITHOUT timetravel, the Avengers would have had to face Thanos, with IG, a second time. Even with captain Marvel they would probably not beat him. Still, they need the Stones to «free» the other Heroes. This assuming Thanos did not destroy the stones. Thus it would also be trickier to locate him, since the second power surge was from the destruction of the stones.
The operation would not include Iron Man (sick), Hulk (Banner in suit), Starlord, Drax, Spiderman, Panther, or Dr. Strange who were dusted.
Captain Marvel would also play a much bigger role without timetravel. And this is what many feared, including myself. I would have hated it if she just came along after a so so movie one month earlier and do all the work!
Thor:
His state was due to his loses and failure to kill Thanos. Just think of what kind of person Thor is! But it was great to see him wearing a «lusekofte», and living in Tønsberg! (I'm norwegian)
Hulk/Dr. Hulk:
Myself, I would have loved to see a rematch between him and Thanos. If we had a «normal» Hulk in the movie as it is, He would most likely have teared the glove apart.
The main members of the Avengers got the focus they deserved, and others shined as well. Myself I loved Antman!
As stated below, Endgame is a worthy conclusion of 11 years and 22 movies!
I will watch it again...and again...
*****
Infinity war followed by Endgame is an astonishing end of this MCU era. I'm sitting here in my ikea sofa contemplating over the last decade of Marvel movies, and I honestly cannot think how this could have been done any better!
Yes, I'll admit I would've liked to seen Thor in Ragnarok shape, and a rematch between Hulk and Thanos. But as things turned out, that just didn't happen. And professor Hulk was necessary for the story.
It'll be interessting to see where Marvel go from here!
BTW...I was at a seminar in Tønsberg about a month ago :)
