Avengers Endgame: Review
Blockbusters like this only come once in a generation. After the epic Infinity War Marvel opted for a more melancholy film. One where the heroes we had connected to lost.
The Characters:
Our characters are broken. Destroyed by their failures from the previous film and trying to cope with what happened. Each heroes coping mechanism is different and fallows the characterization all ready established in the other films. Building off what was already established in previous films.
For me Hawkeye is one of the best characters in the film. His ark is set up from scene one. He starts and what he believes as someone who is unredeemable. Then gets a shot at redemption and thinks he will sacrifices himself for the crimes he committed. Instead it was Natasha who ends up sacrificing herself. Now with this new found purpose to live and keep going. This is helped through Jermy Renners acting. His acting throughout helps create as strong emotional core of the film.
Acting:
Similar to Infinity War the acting is top notch. Standouts are Karen Gillian as Nebula and Robert Downy Jr. as Iron Man. All the acting is great, from the comedic Thor, to the understated Black Widow who is trying to redeem herself in this new world.
Direction:
Joe and Anthony Ruso had there work cut out for them. They directed the film exquisitely creating iconic shots and emotionally impacting moments. The film can do dramatic and make it interesting to look at and watch. The action as well is amazing and similar to the massive battles from Lord Of The Rings.
Writing and Story:
If you spent at least 5 minutes on the internet after infinity war you probably saw someone's theory. Every theory out there was wrong but not better than the film we got (something that The Last Jedi suffered from in some peoples opinion).
The smart snappy comedy that the MCU is known for is throughout and helps make the films not all a depressing movie that isn't entertaining.
The writing also do great at subverting audience expectations. Going in a direction that wasn't expected. This is shown perfectly in the first few minutes. Everyone expects the heroes to use the stones and bring all the dead hero's back. Instead the heroes have to wait to get there redemption.
Ending A Franchise:
Ending a series in a satisfying and fulfilling ending is hard. But when done right is magical. Look at Return Of The King the film was the end of the LOTR series in a satisfying way. Endgame does this to giving an ending to the story of Tony Stark and Steve Rodgers in a satisfying and conclusive ending. Bring the ending that no one expected and didn't feel rushed.
Conclusion:
The film is a blockbuster of the highest caliber. One of both emotion and action bringing everything together in a satisfying conclusive way.
Final Score:
11/10
