Best movie ever

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2020)

It has a extremely solid and VERY well-built plot, packed tight with action, tension, and also manages give everyone a moment and provide a very emotional experience.
And despite claims, the use of time-travel does NOT hinder or botch the plot one bit! In fact, it is the ONLY way that they could fix the problem.
And the emotional experience is very moving and authentic. I don't know why some people are upset with the Avengers being depressed after the Snap - they witnessed people being turned to dust right before their eyes; several of them being loved ones and dear friends).
And they couldn't do a thing about it.
Imagine for a second that you were one of the lucky people to have survived the Snap (that's a even 50/50 chance of you either living or dying) but all your family, most of your friends (if not all) dying around you and you were SO close to preventing it and then try and tell me that being depressed and struggling to move on is wrong and annoying. Cause until you experience that for yourself, you have no idea what it would be like and the proper time for grieving to be over and no right to accuse them of such things.
Especially with Thor. As a person who suffered from a 7-year-long depression, I can assure you that the depiction of Thor and the others grieving for all these years is completely realistic and very authentic.
I appreciated the humour - it prevented it from being overly depressing, and, like Infinity War, Endgame has the perfect blend of humour and seriousness.
And the climax! The movie is three hours long, and the climax starts around the beginning of the third hour, so there were some concerns about it dragging, but it doesn't. The final hour is tight with action, tension, emotional weight, and makes it a TRULY epic finale and the best cinematic experience ever!
The movie itself doesn't drag, it all flows smoothly, and you don't notice the time length as the story totally captures your whole attention.
And with regards to that fighting scene with the girls, it didn't bother me. In fact, I found it a hilarious and fun action scene. There are those who hate that scene for no guys being there, but may I point out that early on in the climatic fight, a few of the guys (and ONLY the guys) gang up on Thanos and fight him. Now, if I was to criticize this scene because it was only the guys and no girls at that point and call it cringy, you would probably say that I was being stupid and sexist. And you'd be right. The same applies to those who hate that girl-fight scene because there were no guys. Plus, what is unrealistic about? Why can't that happen, like the scene with the guys vs. Thanos earlier?
And with regards to the Soul Stone scene, Nebula not telling them about the price to gain the Soul Stone is not a plot hole. She didn't know - neither did Thanos and Gamora when they went there in Infinity War as you can see Gamora's and Thanos' shock at hearing the price for the Stone. Nebula wouldn't know simply because Gamora didn't come back - she simply thought that Thanos had murdered her in cold-blood and for being a turncoat, which isn't out of character for him. Also, what's wrong with sending Clint and Natasha, the two Avengers with no superpowers, to get it instead of two with superpowers? Their superpowers would have made absolutely no difference - they still would have had to have paid the same price as Natasha and Clint. It makes no difference.
And how can I write a review without talking about Thanos? He is one of the most formidable MCU villains (alongside the Dark Elves and Peter's dad) and I was surprised to see how strongly he believed in what he was doing - which was great, from a purely cinematic point of view, as it makes the story more intense and makes you really hate the villain, as well you should. Josh Brolin is perfect for his role and totally captures him. An excellent actor and scary villain.
An extremely well-done movie that perfectly concludes the Infinity Saga with a bow.
