An EXPERIENCE, not a Movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2019)

Avengers: Endgame is An EXPERIENCE, not a Movie, and a Perfect Ending!
A first for me, I went into this movie on opening night, and I can definitely say it was more than worth it. Avengers Endgame demands to be seen in a packed theater. It harkens back to a time where going to the movies was an EVENT. I do have a few issues with the story structure and pacing of the movie which i will explain later, but those doubts completely vanished in the third act. This movie will shatter your expectations within the first ten minutes, and will leave you in complete disbelief and curiosity. The final battle sequence vs Thanos is by far the most well rounded battle sequence of all time. It has been said that it is a mess, but that is overshadowed by what are the best conclusions to characters in film history. Both Iron Man and Captain America were given what i would say are perfect story arcs (throughout the MCU).
Now, this movie does have a few things i would fix. First off, the part i was most excited for (the time heist) was the part that disapointed me the most. While the footage was amazing, they butchered the pace in the editing room and made what couldve been the best mix of nostalgia, risk, and cinematic genius into an action-packed but ultimately scattered sequence. However, other than that, there is no better way I could have imagined the Marvel Cinematic Universe ending.
While Infinity War may be the better movie because of its storytelling and stucture, Avengers Endgame is more than a movie, it is the culmination of a decade-long theatrical experience. For those reasons, this EXPERIENCE deserves a
10/10 (MASTERPIECE)
