A fitting conclusion

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2019)

Just watched the movie with a good friend. Although it's 3 hours long it didn't really feel like it. It is a fitting conclusion to the Avengers franchise and all the character threads are resolved. The balance of action and drama is spot on.
Just my random thoughts on Avengers End Game. Warning there are spoilers
The positive
1. Some time is spent working on the characters in the first part of the film. This works well, both as a piece of drama and adding emotional context in the finale.
2. Overweight Thor was the comedy highlight of the movie.
3. I wasn't keeping a running tab, but I am pretty sure most (if not all) of the supporting characters of all the Marvel movies were in the movie (including professional scene stealer Korg), a very impressive feat.
4. Thank you avengers for fighting to keep the infinity stones (unlike in the terminally stupid Justice League, where they practically gifted a mother box to Steppenwolf)
The negative
1. Captain Marvel was billed as a main character, she is the most powerful avenger (she repelled an alien invasion by herself), and the character is played by an academy award winning actress. Yet somehow, she was only worthy of about 10 minutes of screen time with a few words for dialogue.
Ummm...less Gwyneth Paltrow, more Captain Marvel please.
2. So Black Widow dies (who spent 5 years doing all the leg work to allow End Game to happen) and it barely rates a mention, yet Iron Man dies (who spent 5 years relaxing in the country with Gwyneth Paltrow) and he gets the full blown river funeral with everyone in attendance.
3. Not that I condone mindless violence, but I didn't really see the Hulk smash much in this film.
Note:
The post credit scene they should have made: All the remaining avengers, Thor, Hulk, Scarlet Witch etc. grab Star Lord and beat him silly for 10 straight minutes for allowing Thanos to recover the Infinity Gauntlet in Infinity War in the first place.
