Silly, Convoluted, Pointless and Predictable

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2019)

Avengers: Endgame is too farcical and predictable for adults, and too boring for children.
The first two hours jump from one uninspired conversation to the next, with little action or sense of purpose. The scenes could be re-arranged randomly without any impact on the story's flow.
The only real theme during the first two hours - "we Avengers are all tired and defeated" - seems disingenuous. Are we supposed to believe that our "heroes" are going to avoid the fight and stay home?
Moreover, the actors' "heartbreak" feels generic - the cinematic equivalent of "I feel your loss" on a Hallmark card. To the contrary, when I observed the actors onscreen - especially when they were all together - the main vibe I got was the irony of "Ocean's Eleven".
There is no message (aside from a tired redemption arch), whilst the ending is predictable. In fact many scenes are predictable - a good drinking game would be to guess throughout the film what will happen next.
The final 45 minutes or so is a CGI mess - one of those headache-inducing battles where the main characters easily kill their adversaries by the dozens.
Long live the superhero genre.
