Solid, fun but ultimately inconstant (and incoherent) entry.

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2019)

This movie has a half-dozen amazing scenes, a dozen great lines and two dozen great moments. But, it left me unfulfilled. First, the great. The elevator scene is one of the best in all the Marvel movies. Captain America using his cleverness to outwit Hydra. The fight against his younger self is great too. As is the hammer moment. Peter getting knocked out by Nebula and War Machine was hilarious. The opening scene with Hawkeye was a punch to the gut. The moment where all the heroes return near the end is overwhelming. There are other moments that really shine. I found myself Involuntarily clapping many times.
But, the movie fails to deliver satisfying conclusions to most of its characters. Turns out Cap never sacrificed anything at all in the end. He lived 70 years with the woman he loved. All while leaving Bucky to be tortured (not to mention sitting idly by while numerous other atrocities occurred).
Kids, it's also cool to play video games all day and leave your responsibilities. Even if you have god like powers and people rely on you and hope for better days. You do you, and put someone else in charge so that you can do the hard work of threatening little kids on Fortnite. You know, the real important things in life.
Speaking of life, the soul stone requires an "everlasting" sacrifice of what you love. Except it doesn't. No one dies in the MCU. Not for long anyway. Why morn the loss of Loki for the third time. He's alive, duh. Why give vision and Black Widow a funeral, or wake or at least a eulogy? They didn't. The film does not care about these two characters deaths. Why should the audience.
And are they really dead? Just go back in time with the Pym particles anytime you want and, poof, they're alive. You could visit anytime you want to. Iron Man saw his dad. Hawkeye heard his daughter's voice. And that half of the Universe thing. No worries, they are all alive. In the end, all the bad guys dies and three Avengers.
But, those three Avengers will stay dead for how long?
Does anyone seriously think they are really dead? As in forever? Or course not. In five years, all three of them will be in a Marvel movie again. So don't cry too hard, no one dies forever (in the MCU that is).
