Everything I hoped for and more.

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2019)

I have been a fan of the Marvel Universe for years, and this wrapped up the story for me better than I could possibly have hoped for. I have never been so in awe during a movie as I was for the entire last hour of this one. I also looked at some of the (few) bad reviews here and I seriously think that many people just didn't follow the story correctly, which is why they didn't like it. SPOILERS BELOW REGARDING THAT!
The time travel here is specifically described such that changing the past doesn't change the present or the future; it just creates another timeline. This is as logical a view of time as I have ever seen, avoiding the paradox that comes from a Back to the Future type time travel explanation (you went back and changed something, but now you don't exist in the same way as you did before, so the version of you that made the change never comes to exist!). Side note: by no means a criticism of BttF - I love that too. People who point out Loki's disappearance and how they "ignore" its effects don't seem to fully understand this. There is another timeline feeling the effects of Loki's escape, but it has no impact on the timelines we see from that point onward.
Overall, a stunning culmination of over a decade of MCU films with brilliant references galore and an incredibly beautiful final scene for those who have been a part of this magnificent ride for so long.
