The stage was set for something spectacular and im still waiting for it...

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2019)

Infinity war perfectly meshed the missing components in terms of adding the missing members of the avengers such as the guardians of the galaxy as well as the new MCU addition Spiderman as well as introducing us to Thanos wth a lot of backstory masterfully executed. It saddened and frustrated how it ended but in hindsight set the stage perfectly for endgame which got the creative juices really going with very high expectation set by its predecessor. Unfortunately it got wasted with the Russo brother pulling continuously at the string of the worlds smallest violin turning what should have been a magnificent superhero movie into a nonstop tear jerker. Though I can appreciate the underlying theme of this movie is about dealing with loss and being triumphant at the end.. It seems the former is continuously stuffed down peoples throat for at least two hours.As a poster ealier pointed out its 2 hours of crying, some action and crying again. The climax of the movie was enjoyable though it didn't cover screen time as much as it should have when it was the main reason people came to watch the movie. Theres a lot of things that happen to the movie which either don't make much sense, either happen to quick or just illustrate lazy writing assuming the viewer will fill in the gaps with a lot of cheesy content which gets you thinking 'really'. It almost seems as though they had put thought into how they wanted the story to end but didn't put much creative thought to the journey leading to the climax as simply cobbled whatever they may have left out of the MCU in the previous movies into this for fan service. As an MCU fan I would still advise people to view it as its end of this saga but don't believe a lot of the hype that's on this review board or you will be immensely disappointed.
