The Grand Finale - The Endgame

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2019)

Infinity war left things on such a cliffhanger, that we were all literally scratching our heads wondering what happens next.
Just how would the Russo brothers Infinity War, which delivered great action, good humor and amazing star chemistry not just with the Avengers but also with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
And the good news, Russo brothers do it again. They nailed the successor to Infinity war so well. The beauty of this movie is its got a lot of heart and emotion. Reuniting the remaining Avengers, stakes been so personal, that its do or die and finally coming full circle.
This is the ultimate payoff to all the previous MCU movies.
This movie also reminds us how each of the characters have grown. The egotistical, narcissistic Iron Man learning what it takes to make the ultimate sacrifice and become a leader, Captain America becoming more than a leader etc.
Compared to Infinity war, there is far lesser action in this movie and the main focus is on how to undo the damage done by the snap. If Infinity war was the soul of Avengers 3, Endgame is the heart.
And indeed how that has been executed, the Russo brothers combining comedy, emotion, action so well. 3 hours and not even a dull moment.
The focus of this movie is on the original 6 Avengers and they bring this movie full circle.
Indeed, Endgame helps usher in a new era.
The finale battle is executed so well and kept me on my seat.
Kudos to the Russo brothers who have nailed the action parts so well beginning with Winter Soldier and ending with Endgame.
Endgame is a bye bye of sorts, there is a lot of pain and sadness, yet it helps usher in hope for the future, future of the MCU.
Finally, I'm glad this movie delivered on so many levels and gave me an ending which was far different from the conventional kind of endings.
Respect to the Russos.
