Avengers: Endgame 3000.

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2019)

What Endgame needed to be, was a movie that illustrated the love its makers had for not only the the movie itself, but far more importantly, for an entire decades' worth of journey. For the MCU to thrive for over a decade, was us, its fans, showing our commitment to this creation; what Avengers: Endgame needed to be, was the MCU's creator's turn, to demonstrate their commitment to us. What Avengers: Endgame needed to be, was a Love Letter 3000, to a fan base that followed it to the end of Time and Space, with our Minds and Souls, that allowed it the Power to touch our Reality.
That, truthfully, is a gargantuan task, so huge in fact, that if this film was a complete disaster, you would almost understand the inevitability of such an outcome. So with that said, did Feige, The Russo Brothers, and the MCU give us a Love Letter 3000?
The topic of time travel has always been a tall order, especially if your intention is to respect the science, while delivering an entertaining product. Endgame, did exactly that; though not perfectly, it did it with some level of perfection.
Trying to fit in story, reunions, suffering, action and sadly, goodbyes, was again always going to be a tough ask. Endgame at points felt rushed, but not because they were rushed scenes, but rather because, as a fan, personally, I wanted to linger that little bit longer in the moment, and I imagine most fans felt the same. However, rushed or not, the nods, connections and continuity that was displayed in this film, to accomplish everything from story to goodbyes, was handled with such care that, you can linger in that intention of attention.
So, with amazing attention to detail, a difficult story that was dealt with, professionally and passionately though not perfectly, a cast that can never really ever be forgotten, in a film that quite honestly, didn't feel like a film, but more like genuine adieu with a heavy heart, Avengers: Endgame leaves you asking for nothing more, except maybe: "Do you really have to end?"
Thank you Marvel Studios, for your Love Letter 3000.
