It's very easy to succumb to the colossal amount of fan service and forget about the criticisms. In fact, it's one of those rare films to which I can't really say anything at all, for it may be deemed a spoiler and I'm not falling down that Asgardian pitfall again. This is not a perfect film. Then, the second act kicks in once a particular character is re-introduced. There are suprises in this, some good and unfortunately some bad depending on you view point Some things are missing and some things I would have preferred instead, but, definitely a must see.
. So, let me change the initial question. We needed them, and we needed them executed satisfactorily. The first act explored the humanistic drama beneath these heroes. Is Endgame the perfect superhero blockbuster? All the films and years that have gone before and this is the ending we get? I would not do that to you. Generations have been anticipating, for a whole arduous year, how the remaining Avengers were going to stop Thanos post-snap.
The beautiful development of Thanos from its predecessor seemingly shattered in this instalment, resulting in a simplistic antagonist. Thankfully the third act saves the day, with what I can only describe as a sublime celebration of the cinematic universe. A few action scenes were edited haphazardly, but just a small nitpick in the technical department. Endgame was no longer just a film in an elongated series of interconnected stories. The fanboys say it is, but then they would say that. Conflicting emotions as they adjust to the immediate vacuous lives after the events of 'Infinity War'.
Endgame finalises eleven years of meticulous planning in an epic superhero extravaganza. I'm sure once the hype dies down this will Be like Thor Dark world where people opinions start to change. For that, I applaud Marvel Studios and everyone involved. Nobody cares about whether it is any good or not. A cultural phenomenon that has enveloped the minds of audiences everywhere. The burning question raised from this extravagant superhero soap opera: Does Endgame sufficiently conclude the franchise? And the whole plot mechanic with a certain character. The last hour was entertainment done perfectly, and left me with moist eyes and a smile across my face.
It would do the superhero-loving public a lot of good to watch a couple of black and white, independent films with subtitles, instead of lapping up the latest in processed cinematic cheese. First off it starts really slow, then they setup rules for a plot mechanic, which then then break at the end of the film? An interesting direction from the Russo brothers took which injected a dark melancholic aura, cementing the finality of this franchise. The third act especially, which we all know is the climactic battle I believe I'm safe to say that. Performances were top notch from all cast members, especially Downey Jr. A genocidal maniac known as Thanos has acquired a magical gauntlet lending him unlimited power and used it to destroy half of the galactic population with a snap of his fingers. Thanks to him, good movies have become a thing of the past.
Treating this film as I would any other, I found myself embroiled with many reservations. The last hour of action returns to what we know. You don't need me to tell you to go and see it, just do it. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a behemoth. And now, eleven years later, this fantastical journey of spectacular conflicts and personable characters has come to an almighty conclusion. It could've simply buckled under the weight. It is flawed with contrived plot conveniences and a narrative structure that segregates its tones far too excessively, consequently producing inconsistent pacing.
Overview Avengers: Endgame follows directly on the tail end of the shocking events of Avengers: Infinity War. Just got back from seeing this, and the film is completely epic, not perfect, but epic. Fortunately for the world, the original Avengers are all still alive, and Captain America gathers them together with some newer friends in a bold effort to stop Thanos. However, do not mistake my inner child-like demeanour as a critical analysis of the film, for am I not blindsided. Forget everything about previous films and their similarities, the first two hours of this are like no other Marvel film. Intrinsically implementing a barrage of references from previous entries, to the point that it becomes overstuffed and a detriment to the overall arc of the plot.
Half of the world's superheroes are dead, and it's now up to those who remain to bring the fight back to Thanos and hopefully reverse the destruction he's brought to the universe. My inner fanboy was pleased with the sheer amount of fan service shoved into this epic three hour beast. Whilst appealing to general audiences and acting as a crowd pleaser, it unfortunately didn't gel with me. From the heart wrenching moments yes, please bring a tissue or twenty to the chaotic action, the Russo brothers celebrate eleven years of work into three hours. Problem is, I am unable to discuss these issues with you. There are some great bits in it, but overall sooooo disappointed.
