Tony's story arc was completed and worked very well. He finally settled down and got the family he always wanted. But inevitably sacrificed himself again but this time he didn't make it. Nice to see Tony interact with his father and have a final goodbye. Nice reunion between Peter and Tony. I liked the dynamic with Doctor Strange and Tony. Strange knew the only outcome in which they won was that Tony needed to sacrifice himself. So in the end Strange did choose the time stone over Tony.
Cap traveling back in time to have that dance and kiss with Peggy was an almost perfect ending. They needed to meet at the bar they were going to meet at when Cap was going into the ice to have the most emotion impact. But still very good. Caps story is complete and has come full circle. Cap hands over the shield to Sam which I think was a nice touch. Old Cap was a great scene. Awesome when Cap using Thor's hammer.
Didn't feel the emotions I should have when Nat sacrifices herself to get the soul stone. Nat would do anything to help her friends and that's what she did.
I didn't like the Hulk Bruce mix that was going on. I'm not sure where his character will go from her, especially after losing Nat.
Thor was enjoyable and funny but I did not like what they did to his character in this. At end of movie when he is fighting Thanos he has storm breaker which was stronger than the infinity gauntlet in the last film but he's getting his ass kicked when Thanos has no stones. That didn't make any sense. Looks like Thor is teaming up with the Guardians.
Hawkeye turns into Ronin and I enjoyed him in this film and he gets a satisfying conclusion to his story.
Ant man was enjoyable and constantly funny. Good to see other side characters.
Captain Marvel was unnecessary in this film. When she teamed up with the social justice warriors it was the most forced and worst part of the film.
Guardians of the Galaxy are all together again except for Gamora. It does look like Quill was looking for the time travel Gamora at the end of the film.
Cool how they used time travel to revisit important parts of the Avengers lore. Looks like Loki could be alive now that he escaped at the end of the Avengers scene with the tesseract.
Characters were strongly developed at this point so it is easy to invest in them. Movie was overall enjoyable and payed off the previous 21 films. Excited to see where they take the MCU from here. Movie had stakes and emotional weight, just not enough. I like how they used Thanos in the film combined with Nebula.
I enjoyed the pairing they had in the film but wish we could have had the original core avengers all together a little more throughout the film.
Effects were great. Makeup was very good. Cinematography was also very good. Dialogue was consistent for the characters throughout the film. Wish they had a little less humor to greater the emotional stakes.
Movie did feel dull at points and did t carry the emotional impact it needed to take a scene over the top. Runtime at 3 hours didn't feel too long. Just wish they capitalized on some more moments to make them more emotional. Time travel being introduced to the MCU takes away all of the stakes in every future film. They can now undo anything that goes wrong.
Overall a satisfying conclusion to a now 22 film story arc. Got time with every character and I logical conclusion to every character for that film. I would change a few things here in their to better suit my liking but the film did have weight to it and payed off in the end.
