Truly Epic

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2020)

This is a masterpiece of a movie. It juggles the concepts of duty, family, honor, and what it means to be a hero in an emotional way for the audience, giving each character a meaningful story arc and making them relatable to us. It says that, even if they can shoot lasers and lightning and give wicked punches, they still have feelings. The audience is able to empathize with the characters as we see them go to the lowest points in their life and redeem themselves in the best way possible while giving the audience a silent message: Things might get hard, but no matter how hard, there's always hope.
Then they weave all of these story arcs into an incredible journey that easily holds together many subplots as well as one extremely clever way of bringing the villain into the movie. After Thanos comes to the present day Avengers facility and promptly destroys it, all the heroes come together and fight in an epic battle which is the culmination of 22 MCU movies containing the stories of all of these heroes, their struggles, all their ups and downs, and what they fight for.
The two sacrifices in the movie were incredibly sad, showing how Natasha redeemed herself from her dark past and how Tony sacrificed himself in a noble way to save the universe, redeeming himself from the brash, arrogant character he once was.
