Review: Marvel Delivers an Explosive Conclusion in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

This is a Spoiler-Free review but tread with caution if you want to go into the movie clear minded.

It seems an age ago since Robert Downey Jr‘s Tony Stark introduced the world to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, 11 years later Marvel Studios release their final installment in the Infinity Saga.

Believe me when I say this: prepare yourself for Avengers: Endgame and make sure you have tissues.

Thanos (Josh Brolin) destroyed half of the universe at the end of Infinity War and left audiences stunned. The snap speculation ran rampant on how the Avengers would save the day.

It’s a question that will still be on their minds as they watch Avengers: Endgame. This is due to the brilliant writing from Christoper Markus and Stephen McFeely.

In the wake of the Decimation, the original Avengers are broken and scattered with no hope left. To stray from spoilers all I will say is that the movie delivers on wrapping up the character’s arcs.

RDJ, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, and Mark Ruffalo give their best performances in the series to date. Don Cheadle, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Paul Rudd, and Danai Gurira show the future is in good hands.

There’s Easter Eggs-a-plenty to look out for, and some of them run deep for dedicated comicbook fans. Furthermore, it is amazing to see Kevin Feige and his team are still able to deliver top caliber entertainment.

It isn’t an overstatement to say Avengers: Endgame has a chance of racking up a few Oscar nominations next year. In fact Best Film, Best Director(s) and Best Special Effects will hopefully be in their reach.

The movie does have its flaws. The plot can be confusing (for some) if it isn’t followed closely. However, that in no way detracts from the euphoric experience of Avengers: Endgame.

Far in the future we will look back and remember Avengers: Endgame as this generation’s Return of the Jedi. Moreover, without Feige and his crew at Marvel, we wouldn’t be in the golden age of Superheroes.

Avengers: Endgame delivers a satisfying conclusion loaded with laughs, tears, and smiles for the epic conclusion to an 11-year journey.

The movie is playing in cinemas internationally.
