A lot to process !!!!!!!

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2019)

Over 20 films and over 10 years leading up to this, the wait is finally over, all the questions have been answered.......sort of. Go to be honest even though, I am personally not a fan of the MCU or any other comic book films these days, I was in awe of what I was watching in certain moments. However this film is a bit of a rollercoaster to say the least, there is a lot to process so forgive me if I forget something.
Just like with "Infinity War" the Russo Brothers deserve a lot of praise for the directing and story telling in this film. It has everything you could want from a film like this and especially if your a die hard fan of the franchise. Action packed, solid story, emotional punch but most importantly damn entertaining. Amazing from there standpoint what an achievement..........wonder what they will do next??
As I have preluded to I am not a fan of the MCU or of the genre anymore, about 8-10 years ago I was a die hard fan but now couldn't care less........become less and less interesting. I am a victim of over saturation of comic book films. Therefore I probably in the minority when I say that this film has many positives and more importantly negatives as well. These are just my personal favourite moments or moments I hated......yes hated!!!
Positives
The cast throughout is fantastic across the board in what they are given to do, Im not gonna list them all go google them yourself. However there are a couple of standout performances and story lines/moments that were really breathtaking. Chris Evans just knocked it out of the park.....well he has done since 2011 but its even more impressive in this film. Just spectacular, has some fantastic scenes throughout showing a huge range in the character we've grown to love and route for. His ending is fantastic I couldn't have thought of a better way for Steve Rogers to exit the MCU just perfection.
The other two standout performances are Paul Rudd and Brie Larson, again just own the screen when they are on it. Ant-Man is strange character for me because I thought his solo films were ok but not much more, felt he was much better suited in a team up film. That feeling is even more justified in this film, the character was used perfectly and Paul Rudd was fantastic, made his story interesting and pulled it in new directions. On the other hand I was really shocked in how much I liked Captain Marvel early in the year, but man did nothing prepare me for her film stealing performance. Its only a couple of moments here and there but wow just wow.
Negatives
Sorry the fun is over, no film is perfect there are quite a few problems with this film, I almost ended up not like the film because of them. Firstly and the biggest elephant in the room...Thor/MCU Humour. What on earth were the Russo's thinking, from a character standpoint this is the only thing they got wrong......and they got it badly wrong. Its is so cringeworthy I cant bare to think... for me it just doesn't work. Its another example of the that dreaded MCU humour that I simply don't find funny, its not the first MCU film and it won't be the last with this problem.....over reliance on humour.
The other two big problems are the pacing and the runtime of the film. Firstly the pacing is all over the place, for 1/3 of the film is slowly paced, which I have no problem, but its 180 degrees opposite of rest of the film. The last 1/3 is just going at hyper-speed. Secondly at just over 3 hours it is far to long.......even if your a die hard fan you must have been looking at your watch at some point. Could have trimmed it down just 15-20 minutes.....could have helped with the pacing.
Overall its 70% out of 100 or 7 out of 10......Yeah I know I didn't give it a 10/10 whats your with me. If it wasn't for Chris Evans and Cap's story line/ending along with Paul Rudd's and Brie Larson's performances and the fantastic ending...I would have really struggled to even give this film a 7/10. The dreaded MCU humour especially with Thor was so off putting, along with the dodgy pacing and 3 hour runtime almost got me worried. All in all "Infinity War" might be the overall better made film but for shock, emotion and entertainment "Endgame" certainly delivers.
P.S. Also the special effects in the film are just magical, award winning maybe??Also what they gonna do now with no Stark, Rogers or Black Widow????
