The latest instalment of the now 22-movie long Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is breaking all the records it can lay its infinity-sized gauntlets on. Following a $1.2 billion global five-day launch, it\u2019s now a question of when, not if, (not that it was ever really in doubt) Marvel\u2019s tentpole will make it to $2 billion. While it might have the legs to race past Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u2019 global tally, the $2.7 billion total of James Cameron\u2019s Avatar might just be out of reach.<\/p>\n

However do not underestimate the money-making potential of a metal man, a dude with a hammer, a soldier in tights throwing a metal frisbee and 11 years of consistently decent to great filmmaking, with only a couple of relative duds.<\/p>\n

This is a movie, the scale of which we might not see again, combining characters from the 21 movies before it, wrapping up stories built up from the very first movie in the franchise and acting as a direct sequel to Avengers: Infinity War which had ended with a monumental cliffhanger. The directors, Joe and Anthony Russo had a huge task ahead of them having to meet the expectations of millions of fans while still crafting a compelling story that ties up all loose ends.<\/p>\n

So is Avengers: Endgame any good? I\u2019ll take a look at various aspects of the movie featuring no spoilers.<\/p>\n

The Characters<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a significantly smaller main cast than Avengers: Infinity War in which we were constantly jumping from ensemble to ensemble. Although the Russos handled that large task really well, especially with the time taken to develop the big baddie, Thanos, some fan favourite characters were shunted to the background. The smaller list of A-listers available to them showed in a good way with a more significant focus on inter and intra character development.<\/p>\n

The first act, for the most part, revolves around the heroes who survived \u2018the snap\u2019 and how they are coping with failing to save the universe. The interactions between the characters and the impressive dialogue keep the movie afloat in a virtually actionless first hour, a big risk for a superhero movie. The evolutions of the characters seem like natural, unforced progressions.<\/p>\n

Even particularly risky changes to certain characters, including a beloved one in the previous movie which, on the face of it, were really jarring made sense for those characters in the moments they were in. Introductions to new (and old) characters throughout the movie never seemed out of place. Emotional connections audiences have had with certain characters throughout the run of the \u2018Infinity Saga\u2019 of the MCU were ramped up making their eventual climaxes even more tear-jerking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The story<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was always the most important thing heading into Endgame; how would the survivors undo the snap? Suggestions that they might not manage it never even came up given confirmed Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-man, Black Panther and Doctor Strange sequels. Simple really, let\u2019s get them back and in Cap\u2019s words, take that s.o.b (language!) down.<\/p>\n

While a number of people might have been expecting the direction the movie takes, enough surprises and twists in the second act to keep audiences invested. The movie acknowledges that while the big plan is not an original one, it\u2019s different enough from the others to stand out and keep nitpicky fans active. While anyone could find flaws with the plans if they looked hard enough, the filmmakers gave enough leeway for those relatively minor points to be overlooked.<\/p>\n

The final act<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the first act was filled with \u2018slow\u2019 character building moments then the final act was the complete opposite. This was one of the most fulfilling conclusions to any movie or franchise you\u2019ll ever see. The movie throws so much at you and yet most of it sticks. While the action is a bit frantic when it kicks in with so much going on that you will definitely miss something, there are many \u2018heck yeah\u2019 moments that make this one of the best climaxes to a Sci-Fi\/Action\/Fantasy\/Superhero movie ever.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Endgame is a feat in movie making. The acting, writing and directing elevate the movie from just another action movie to a piece of art that will live long in the memory.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Endgame is currently showing at the Silverbird Cinemas<\/em><\/p>\n
