Why Do We Go to the Movies?

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2019)

I don't know about you, but more often than not, I watch movies or TV shows to escape for a while. I grew up as a keen movie fan and this has continued into adulthood. I've enjoyed all the Marvel Universe movies to date, some more than others. Winter Soldier was a highlight, Civil War was great, but when I heard they were going to bring it all together, I must admit I thought it was going to be a bit messy - still enjoyable - but messy. I am happy to report that I was wrong. THIS is what I want from a night at the cinema! Bags of action, snappy dialogue, incredible special effects and most importantly, surprisingly ...heart. Every hero gets their moment and not in a rushed or crammed in manner. The set pieces are astonishing, the laughs fast and plentiful. Brolin is the best villain in The MCU to date, managing to be both hateful and sympathetic, sometimes in the same scene! As the fella once said, "I may not know art but I know what I like", well this will never win an Oscar for Best Picture, but I would rather watch this than La La Land or Moonshine any day of the week. I can't wait to see where they take this next. Bravo Marvel, bravo.
