Let me fill your plot holes

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2019)

Many Spoilers relating to perceived Plot Holes.
Firstly, I loved this film. A fitting end to a fantastic series. Strong characters with stronger powers, and finally some emotional depth to get on board with.
What is troubling me with many of the attention grabbing negative reviews here is the plot hole mantra being served up as fact, when a little further thought would have helped on many reviewer's offerings.
1) "Why can CA suddenly pick up the hammer?" Answer, because he's worthy, not God Like strong. Same reason perhaps why Thanos can also wield it, but that's a moral discussion for another time.
2) "Nebula should have warned them about the Soul Stone..." Answer, if she did then it would never have been released. She knew this and held the info back to aid the quest. BW had to be the one to fall as she truly loved HE, whereas he already had/has a family.
3) "Time Travel makes no sense". Answer, well you just didn't pay attention to the exposition in the film did you? End Game's TT timeline altering conceit is not the same as Back to the Future etc. Go and watch it again. It makes perfect sense to me.
4) "They all appeared out of nowhere, ready to fight, at the end." Answer, they were ready, just waiting to come back. In fact they'd only been gone a short while in their minds, as Peter Parker explains to Tony on the battlefield during their reunion/hug. Most of the surviving army from IW pre-snap (or the 'getting all dusty', as Peter put it) would still be in battle gear and ready for a fight. Dr Strange of course knew this 1 in 14.6 million timeline and was rallying the troops whilst they languished in limbo, clearly but secretly awaiting Hulk's re-snap. Then they all reappeared in Wakanda, where they dusted, and Dr Strange then ported them to the final battle, after a quick pep talk along with all the other heroes not present for the African battle in IW.... Wong will have helped here too as many were in other countries and not fighting in Wakanda.
For me, these four supposed plot holes are well and truly filled up with asphalt, rolled flat, and have had fresh lines painted on them. Solid ground on the route needed to travel through this final Avengers film.
As a film it's still not perfect in my eyes, a little baggy and disjointed in the middle. I particularly didn't like the Ocean's Eleven caper soundtrack during the heist sequences. I didn't like the depiction of Shr-ulk, Flab-Thor or the fancy new Audi e-trons (that absolutely would not have been developed after half the company staff disappears, along with the global economy etc....).
But..... What a film nonetheless. I loved it for the most part, laughed and cried, and pushed my dropped jaw back into place a couple of times near the end. The Russo brothers did a great job holding the story together when it could have been so different otherwise (pun intended).
Looking forward to seeing what Marvel Studios comes up with over the next decade.
