The Culmination of the MCU Franchise

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2019)

This film is, without a doubt, not only the perfect conclusion of the current MCU Phase but also the zenith of the superhero - comic book genre.
Going into the movie theatre I had a lot of reservations regarding the way the aftermath of the Snap would be handled and if its result would be reversed in a way that would not render the events of Infinity War meaningless.
Needless to say this film managed to exceed all my expectations and perfectly show the repercussions of the Snap on the lives of our beloved characters, the gravity of losing their loved ones and how they sought to reverse what had happened.
The film's opening 30-45 minutes show the immediate and long term aftermath of the events of Infinity War on both the physical and mental state of each main character.
The middle act of the film is where I was pleasantly surprised in the way that the film manages to be both familiar and original at the same time.
There is a wealth of fan service without it becoming cringey or in any way lowering the stakes of the overall mission. There is also a lot of development and progression for the main characters (watch out especially for Tony's and the Cap's mission) in the way they come to terms with the lives they lead until now and what sacrifices may have to be made going forward.
The third act is exactly what you expect but even more. It is centered around an epic battle which is filled with sequences which will be remembered for years to come. Lets just say that it is an hour-long, action packed highlight reel filled with memorable one-liners and wow moments.
The end of the battle brings about a new world order for the MCU and bids a heartwarming farewell to some of our beloved characters in a way that feels natural and fulfilling.
