EPIC

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2019)

Catharsis. Pure catharsis incarnate on screen. What we have here is the conclusion to one of the most ambitious filmmaking ventures since Lord of the Rings and it arguably surpasses it. For 11 years we have been treated with numerous films about the various heroes of the Marvel universe, and it all culminated in last years blockbuster Infinty War. Now I am not saying you have to have seen every single MCU movie that has been released--for goodness sake, there are 22 of them (and still more to come)--but if you have, and you have taken the time to invest in these characters, and especially if you have seen each and everyone of them on the big screen, as I have, then the payoff here is that much more incredible. I am not lying when I say the final act of this nearly 3 hour epic is so damn satisfying especially with every little nuances and sidebar that has been established in films prior. Nothing that has ever come before, nor will anything that comes after will seemingly be able to match the juggernaut that has been the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We all have different opinions on which heroes and stories have been our favorites, but no one can deny what an amazing journey it has been. I so look forward to what the next chapter will bring now that this groundbreaking epic saga has ended. Either way, what we have after 11 years is simply a Marvel.
