Jackson, Ross Marquand (Voices of: Bradley Cooper & Vin Diesel) Grande finale in the supernova Marvel franchise with the titular super heroic team facing impossible odds in the devastating aftermath of the alien Thanos' universal wipe-out has the Herculean task in changing things back for the better with deadly results in the process. Filmmaking brothers Anthony and Joe Russo continue to balance the amazing set pieces, epic battles and human factor largely thanks to the equally well-written screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely bringing all the feels with its trademark wit and WTF extravaganzas too boot. The astounding ensemble each have their moments but the heartfelt trials that Evans' Captain America and Hemsworth's Thor shine brightly so. Fittingly uncompromising final chapter.
