Very good, but not great

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2019)

I cant say I was disappointed in Endgame as a whole, they wrapped up this phase in the franchise pretty well.
Parts did drag on longer than needed, other parts rushed that could have used more time. But that's ok I can deal with that.
Endgame was not as good as Infinity War in my opinion, IW had much better pacing and dialogue than EG and the story was much better.
Stuff I liked:
Tony Stark/Steve Rodgers dialogue. Any time those two are on screen together it just flat out works. They could talk about dinner reservations and I'd be engrossed in that conversation..
Lewboski reference. Loved it..
Hawkeye/Black Widow going after the Soul Stone. You knew one of them was going to have to die to get it but intense and a surprise all the way through. Well done.
Soundtrack. Dear Mr. Fantasy a fav of mine and to hear that open made my night.
How they brought back Gamora. Nice twist didn't see that coming. And the "real" Nebula working on her to win her over.
Starks death, Rodger's ending. Both perfect and worked. Glad he got his dance and a real life
Few things I didn't care for.
Wanted more Rocket interaction with the other Avengers. Expected more Rocket/Tony Stark back and forth in witty dialogue. Would have been epic.
Captain Marvel. Over powered and didn't earn it. Hoped for better than he solo movie and it never happened.
Time Travel. I figured the quantum realm would come into play to reverse things, but Stark figuring out time travel in general was a little much. I think with some creative writing they could have skipped all that time travel discovery stuff and just used the quantum realm angle to fix things and bring people back.
Not enough Thanos. Even with Thanos coming back into play, not enough screen time. He's way to great a character and needed much more attention. In EG he didn't have as great the dialogue as IW gave him and even less depth than in IW. Jim Starlin's creation deserved better.
The whole Battle of the Five Armies Hobbit ending... Would have been more intense with just Thanos and his Black Order - they could have held their own against all the Avengers new and old
As a whole though I got to admit I walked away satisfied. We always want more and/or expect different or better, but this is what we got.
I can live with it and be happy. Thank you Marvel Studios
