Avengers: Endgame (Anthony & Joe Russo, 2019)

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2019)

Avengers: Endgame is so epic and grandiose that it's impossible not to at least crack a smile during it's conclusion. Surprisingly though, the movie is at it's best when quietly self-reflecting on the journey of some of it's main characters. I'm impressed with how well the Russo's manage to make the story feel personal amidst a collection of characters and universe ending stakes.
Seeing this on opening night with a cinema full of people laughing (and some crying) was a rare experience. When the credits finally hit, a friend turned to me and said 'it's the end of an era.' Nothing quite like what Kevin Feige and the Russo's have pulled of here has been done before, and I'm unsure if it will ever be done so well again.
