Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Endgame is a walk down memory lane. It is the final act in an almost 20 yearlong franchise, starting with the first Iron Man in 2008. It picks up 5 years after Avengers: Infinity War. In this film the surviving heroes are trying to deal with the aftermath of Thanos’ wrath.

This is not your typical action movie. It was full of strong character development and the script was full of depth and heart. Although the plot was mostly predicable there were some great twits at the end. The action sequences were high quality and very entertaining. Especially the female focused, girl power, scenes.

Some parts didn’t seem realistic and lost me, especially when they were talking about changes in time. I also wish that there was some more time spent with some of the characters but overall the time was spent well with all of the main characters.

I think those who that did a binge of some of the previous movies was a good idea. I wish I would have done the same to have had more context in this film. I would suggest the following to watch or re-watch before Endgame: the 1st Captain America, 1st Thor, 1st Avengers, Ant Man & the Wasp, Black Panther, Captain America: Civil War and obviously Avengers: Infinity War.

I found this film to be a proper final act, worth the wait. It was a 3 hour saga but didn’t feel like it at all. If you are looking for something funny, heart wrenching and in the end, incredibly rewarding, I would recommending checking this one out. Just know, your theater will be packed and there is no good time for a pee break so make sure you take care of that before the movie starts.
