An EPIC conclusion to the Infinity Saga

Rating: 10/10 (25 April 2019)

Came in with high expectations (oh man, the hype was real) and the movie did not disappoint. After seeing every single trailer, and reading a ton of theories, despite knowing where we were being led to I was constantly getting surprised, and not knowing exactly what was coming next turn kept me at the edge of my seat.
I laughed a lot, I cried a couple times, I raised my hands a couple more while shouting "YES!!!" -it was such a roller coaster of emotions. Particularly the third act kept me shivering, my heart pounding so hard in my chest, just hoping not to have a stroke until the credits finished rolling. Marvel did it again: made us, a considerable bunch of grown-ups turning in for midnight premiere, leave the premises with wet eyes. It's true what they say: it is a brilliantly, beautiful, well-crafted love letter to us Marvel fans who have grown together with these characters. Oh boy, what a hell of a ride it has been.
There are a couple of complaints I could raise. Not spoiling anything away, maybe one of the characters could have been developed a bit differently. Also the pacing (while not crammed) might be confusing if you don't keep your eyes wide open. The fate of a couple of heroes also left me scratching my head a little. But I guess they are trying something different, instead of resorting to the same old story-telling formulas, so I think all that can be forgiven, although I do understand where people ranking this one 8/10 come from.
Worth re-watching, might be even necessary. At this point I think it's pointless to say if this movie is better than that one and what not. Most MCU movies hold their own unique place. And this one does. It delivers, and more. And it signs off brilliantly these 11 years and 22 films of wonder that will remain with us forever.
