Big disappointment after Infinity War...

Rating: 4/10 (28 April 2019)

If you've seen and loved all the MCU movies, especially the Captain America focused ones, then you'll probably enjoy Endgame more than I did. I haven't seen them all, didn't care much for the early Avengers movies, and only saw Infinity War on the insistence of a friend. That blew me away, the pacing and the atmosphere keeping me hooked even though I didn't understand all of the references. Yet Endgame, in an attempt to cap the series off properly and pay homage to all the films that lead to it, spends a lot of the 3 hours in the worlds of the older films and getting reacquainted with old characters without really building much of its own story. There's only about 30 minutes of new action and even that, with all its buildup, doesn't beat Infinity War's.
As an end to the whole 22 film saga it ticks important boxes for fans, but for those who liked Infinity War in particular and were hoping for a satisfying second part - keep your expectations low.
