Avengers: Endgame - Review
Avengers: Infinity War was not a perfect movie. It was brave but bloated superhero epic with a killer send off and proof that Marvel can do villains correctly when they place them as the protagonist. Endgame is not as good byquite a stretch. It is good, but it never hits the highs of Infinity War, due to an overreliance on schmaltz and fan service, a meandering plot that makes very little sense, and a predictable CGI battle royale finale. However, hidden amongst the predictability there are again brave story beats and a fair bit more introspection than you'd expect in a MCU. If you are hardcore Marvel fan this may be all you want out of Endgame but for me, it fell short. There, that's my quick spoiler free review, but to really get into why I don't think it matches up to Infinity War I am going to have go deep into spoiler territory. So stick with this review if you've seen the film or care not for the spoilers. Endgame picks up within the near aftermath of Thanos...
