Story: The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, Avengers: Endgame.

Likes: Avengers end game is easy to be hype over and get all excited about but let's not forget even though this film is brilliant there are a few issues that don't necessarily ruin the film, there are a few things you can nitpick about certain scene.

Following the controversy over Brie Larson and the poorly written captain marvel film, despite it making a 1B in box office, im glad to say she didn't ruin this film one bit, i feel that was down to the right decision to not have her in the film that must which help focus on the leading character that have built this franchise for 10 years this is the way im glad it been done .

 The film can be slow at the beginning but this was done on purpose, which im glad they took this route because it really fleshes out the character more giving the film a very bleak outlook after the events of Thanos' finger snap in infinity war which allowed the character to have a real break down in the aftermath.

Good thing the film isnt all doom and gloom, there are a few comical moments that actually hit the mark, unlike the other Marvel movie that has come before this is the only Marvel movie ive truly laugh so hard at. Even the audience with a packed cinema was laughing so you know the comic moments worked. Surprisingly a lot of the comical moments actually this time come from the Thor scene which gets absolutely Hilarious at times.

But be prepared for the most emotional marvel movie yet, because when this film gets emotional it seriously pulls on the heart, im not joking there are moments that will shock you, but there are two emotional moments that had the whole cinema in complete silence, you could hear a pin drop. These moments seriously hit me hard just by the way it was filmed and the build-up, really set the moment you are gonna be in tears over with a very strong emotional moment.

I will say this out of 21 movies from Marvel which is a shame, Russo brothers for me personally save the MCU from medicroe movies, Infinity war and Now Avengers End game is two of the best MCU films that have an emotional, gritty dark journey of struggle where people and character actually die and find themselves in a situation where they have nothing else to lose this is great storytelling.

Which show Josh Brolin was the perfect cast choice for Thanos as he the best villain out of all 21 movies, He character driven motives to do something for the wrong reason, as he comes across truly evil and not evil just because he a villain, I think Russo's truly captured Thanos character better especial with a brilliant actor like Josh Brolin really gave Thanos that edge he needed.

Like I said the film is slow to start with, showing a world coming to term with the aftermath, along the way we get a lot of emotional moments and funny comical moments, which builds up to one of the best third acts ive seen in a film that I did not see coming I don't think thano saw coming I've.
Damn this was one hell of an epic fight scene with Thanos that fans will be happy with, but lead to an emotional ending that will have you in tears.

Russo brothers have truly made a Fan service film here with comic book accuracy character, give one of the best films ive seen from Marvel a great satisfying ending that brings the end of a certain chapter in the character which a few easters eggs planted through the film to a possible future.


Dislikes: There is a scene with a certain character (without giving spoilers) where something happened, let just say this choice would have wiped their character from existence going on the current timeline which is a bit of a nitpick but science would contradict that action.


Overall: Emotional rollercoaster, Funny, amazing storytelling amazing build up, a must watch.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9 out of 10 for the last Avengers film
