Worse than the "Infinity War"

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2019)

As expected, the Russo brothers again made a movie in which again there are scenario holes, in which again there are big problems with logic, and in which the plot again is largely promoted due to fantastically successful coincidence of circumstances - incredible coincidences are even more incredible than in the "Infinity War "(here is a small example, which can hardly fully illustrate my point: how convenient it is that Thanos still wears the gauntlet and not buried it in the bowels of some abandoned planet - this particular point, unlike others, does not affect the plot as a whole, but advances it much faster than if the opponents of the violet ogre did not know the fate of the gauntlet and would notably ruffle their nerves, tormented by doubts). Well, the most important logical holes of this film come from the time travels. Changes in the past should immediately change the present, and now explain to me how you can return to the same present, from which you departed, if in the past you have have left so much traces?! .. How about the butterfly effect ?! No, haven't heard? And the poor explanation of that given in the film, is like they are trying to cover this black hole like a fig leaf, in the hope that the viewer will simply close his eyes to it, it is unconvincing and not serious from the point of view of laws and rules concerning interference with the past, which are accepted in classical fiction. And this battle of Cap with Cap, that was in the trailer? .. You know, I watched a series about half a year ago - it was called "12 monkeys", where the whole plot is built on time movements, and even there the scenario makers try as much as possible not to create plot holes, even there, in a low-budget series, there is such a rule that you should not meet with yourself, otherwise there will be a merge with such a spurt of energy ... Well, it turns out that the avengers are allowed to do such things. At some point, the brain gets tired of questions - how? why? from where? - and simply refuses to understand.
Also, Marvel could not help giving each sister a tolerant earring. One of the cult heroes of Marvel is hiding under the skirt of strong independent women (!) ... Great! And about the captain Marvel, I have nothing to say at all. Thank God, here she is not very much. And in the film there are two moments in which, let's say, the heritage from the white person is transferred to the black man - look, and understand what it is about (the Norwegian blackres are crying from emotion).
The Russo brothers made a senseless and merciless film with a swing to serious drama and gloominess (the specific Marvelian humor didn't go away - Thor, for example, turned on the fool mode from Ragnarock); having serious problems with logic; ignoring the consequences of intervening in the time continuum; with events that are implied, but not shown, why there is a constant feeling of narration rummaging (they would better make three, or even all four films instead of two with a crumpled plot, and tell the whole story thoroughly, slowly, thoughtfully, letting the viewer feel the atmosphere of the decline and despair in which the heroes live, it would be much better than what was shown here ... DC are masters to build up a gloomy atmosphere, while Marvel's work is unconvincing). And with the actors' play, too, is not everything is in order ... Here, Cap seems to be experiencing, and speaking all sorts of pretentious speeches, but the actor Chris Evans himself does not believe in it - this is evident from the barely noticeable smirk on his face ... Hulk looks rather creepy and causes "Uncanny valley" feeling ... About the Thor, I have already said.
Yet "The Avengers: The Finale" is the acceptable end of the 11-year history of the MCU, as it was before - because in the future, alas, tolerant trends will rage on more and more, and in the future those who will not leave the Marvel's hypetrain , expects a line of films with a cast of all kinds of nonames, in which not talent, charisma and goodwill towards the audience, but belonging to one or another minority will be the determining factor in the approval of this or that person for the role (active planting of so called "diversity policy" in the next MCU phase was confirmed by Kevin Faige himself - Disney didn't get lessons from the failure of the new trilogy of the "Star Wars". I love the space opera - I would love to watch some good movies based on the works of E. Hamilton or A. Azimov - and therefore I will be interested in the fate of the third "Guardians of the galaxy", however, other movies by Marvel, alas, are not so interesting to me. And if suddenly I want to look at asian Kung-Fuists , I'd better see good old movies with Jackie. Or with Jet.
Returning to our sheep, ogres, raccoons, cyborgs and other living creatures, I would add: I really liked only the very ending of the film. The rest things are something mechanistically soulles, in which you do not believe, something ... secondary relative to the original films, the events of which the heroes attend.
