Offers something narratively new to its known audience

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2019)

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been stuck with certain limitations, such as a formulaic three act structure, not exceeding a pg13 rating and such. However this film, being a form of climax to the saga, offers something its audience hasn't really experience, at least from Marvel. This film is more narratively complex and interesting than all its predecessors. While watching you were quite surprised as to where are characters would end up next, this kept the picture thrilling and exciting throughout. The Russo Brothers have always bent the limitations to their will by keeping a good sense of what they're actually capable of doing. These limitations are annoying cause you really are not gonna get much of a different film to the last one or the next. But limitation breeds creativity. The Russo's have completely taken advantage of that and it shows in their films in the Mcu and especially here in Avengers Endgame
Obviously the writers had a say in what was actually happening and they did an amazing job at balancing the characters on their journey in this film. There were various plots with various characters that needed to have interesting chemistry or connections with one another, whichever worked best for the characters. It shows how carefully they understand the characters and care for how their stories will end or where they will go, and I appreciate that a lot personally. They also took many a risk with how the character interact with the tragedies and conflicts that have faced them, most notably Iron Man, Thor and Hawkeye. Each of those characters went through tremendous change and each ended up somewhere entirely different which is truly fascinating and entirely believable. Certain bits play for broken characters that you genuinely feel terrible for and other bits play for comedy and the blance is fairly consistent. I really like how this film is very messy and chaotic but the Writers and Directors guide us through it all, it's impressive.
It is entirely visually stimulating across the board, the cgi is some of the best ever and very carefull done, the characters have interesting looks that change often. It's shot nicely, that hendheld look they've had in the Russos films is present and plays for certain emotional thing, for example the opening scene. There was a certain shot just after the opening titles which, with context, makes you feel really uneasy. When it comes to the ending you really feel a sense of heroism and hope from an otherwise hopeless world and certain things happen that shock and aw and they come at just the right moment. It really delivers on a satisfying climactic battle. The character remains alive in everyone throughout the climax and makes you build up excitement and care for how this could end. It's drastically enjoyable and emotional. The finality for many of the characters, when things wrap up, completely delivers. Where the last film (Infinity War) left you with a bad taste in your mouth, this one does something different entirely and allows certain characters to progress and to end. I really enjoyed this film throughout and the build up made it all worth while. Although personally I've been frustrated and unsatisfied with most of the Mcu movies I'm overly happy with this one and any of the Russo Brothers films.
