Avengers: Endgame

SPOILER FREE SPOILER FREE SPOILER FREE!
Okay, so in a universe/world where Thanos (Josh Brolin), the ultimate baddie, has vanished 50% of all living things, the remaining Avengers must team together to attempt to restore order in the universe, trouble is, they may be too late, could this in fact be the end?Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by a small army of writers, this heartfelt love letter to the Marvel Universe ties up many loose ends and places tidy bows on multiple storylines to a satisfying conclusion…Kind of like attending a high school reunion, and, surprisingly emotional at a number of points, the Russo brothers take great care to pay respects across multiple franchises offering call backs and hat tips throughout the entire three hour runtime. Yes, you read that correctly, three hours, not exactly the film to play bladder busters with a thirsty two ouncer of your favorite carbonated beverage. Pro tip, start the film mildly dehydrated, a take just a few sips of water before “go time.” Solid delivery from the entire ensemble, you already know the drill, which is also to say, if you’re a fan, you’ll enjoy the heck out of this film, if you’re a newcomer, you’ve got some catching up to do, but note, this isn’t a film one can walk into cold and expect to “get” everything. Might I advise viewings of the first Iron Man, The Avengers, Captain America, and Avengers: Infinity War as the short list to get you primed? That said, go enjoy, it’s fun for fun’s sake! Avengers: Endgame is rated PG-13.
