Not as Great as Infinity War

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2019)

Thematically, Endgame has it all. Without question the best superhero action sequences and moments across all of the MCU movies to date. However, the story isn't as tight as IW, mainly due to the fact that the plot relies heavily on the obviousness of time travel and random conveniences.
The story tries hard to pull on your emotions but, you know how it is, a random joke would be shoehorned at the worse time ever. The time travel was kind of a cop out and in Endgame is treated very tongue-in-cheek with the various references of other time travel movies in popular culture. It obvious that the only way the characters even had a shot at getting everyone back, that they'll use time travel as a means to do it.
I was expecting something a lot more subtle, like an actual mission to uncover the stones by some other impossible means.
The stone heist plot felt specifically tailored to each character like a story outline for an RPG tabletop game other than a coherent choice. Each of these characters knew that the power stone carried their own inherited risk and that the Soul Stone was perhaps the most deadliest of all to obtain.
The ending was great, if not a bit expected. But by all means, the movie is great besides a few hundred plot holes.
The number one pain in my backside is the fact that NONE of this would have been possible were it not for a freakin' RAT!
Dr. Strange's prediction of 1 in 14 million came into existence due to the simple actions of a mindless rat! I dont know about you guys, but it felt like some sick joke that kinda deluded the whole story in that sense. Kinda disrespectful to not only the hardwork put into these movies but to the fandom watching them as well.
That's just my opinion on the matter, but still.
