Here're my two cents

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2019)

After some time had passed in the theatre, I had a split moment of panic, because, why, I was wondering about the time! And what does that mean? I was not engaged in the movie as much as I should have been.
Endgame was not a bad movie, no. It was a decent one, and I think it's as a fulfilling end to this era of MCU as it can be. But, this movie had flaws, flaws that many fanboys and fangirls are too willing to overlook but I just can't.
Here I use Infinity War as my measuring stick, because it is one of my all-time favourite films, and personally I think it is one of the best superhero films ever made. No words can possibly describe the sweet, excruciating, soul-crushing devastation I felt when I walked out of the theatre watching IW for the first time. I don't know if a film can ever have that same effect on me ever again.
One of my main problems with Endgame was the pacing. I loved the first part depicting the depressing state of the world after the snap, however, the next part of the film - the time heist - could use some huge improvements. There seemed to be no time nor preparation at all between the assemble and the execution of the heist. I personally think jokes were injected at some pretty inappropriate times, amongst other reasons that nullified scenes that were supposed to be serious and emotional. I often found my emotion deflated just as it was about to overflow, leaving me quite disappointed. IW did a spectacular job at balancing humour and emotions and I felt every rush and devastation to my very core. Take the scene at Vormir from both films as an example. Whereas IW had me cry like a baby, Endgame felt like it was just getting it done to me.
Another thing that grated on me terribly was the fact that this entire film only happened because a mouse, yes, a bloody mouse somehow ran over the correct combination of buttons to release Antman. That's purely lazy writing at its finest. Endgame had similar conveniences threading through it, though none bothered me as much as this one.
Finally, the time travelling fiasco. Time travelling is a grief to any film. Endgame, like most films, did not manage to evade the consequences of its complexity. I understand the Russo brothers want this to be the desired, the deserved ending for the Avengers, yet in the process they have unfortunately created a forced one as well.
I need to make my point clear once again: Endgame was a decent film and ultimately a fitting conclusion to the emotional journey. Yet, as an independent film, it has many flaws and perhaps is not worth the acclaim it is receiving.
And Infinity War is infinitely better, sue me.
