Review By Benigno Poppins (Manila, Philippines)
*SPOILERS & UNPOPULAR OPINION AHEAD*
Went intentionally blind into this movie, regardless of the hype surrounding. Avoided the trailers, social media posts and even conversations with friends about it as much as possible. Just to get this sense of greater of excitement. Felt doing it since it prior movie, Infinity War, caught us off guard with its ending. It left us hanging without knowing what could happen next. So might as well see Endgame like everybody’s not talking about it.
The first half of the film was great. Again, the interactions between characters from different franchises was very entertaining to see. Examples include: Tony and Nebula playing paper football, the diner scene with Banner and Scott on their popularity as a superhero, or that little moment when Rocket annoys Carol about her new haircut. These are the stuff we needed to see. As always, Marvel’s humor is still on point. It has always been earned (though sometimes, it went too much especially with Scott, but that was tolerable anyway).
The second half of the movie, the “time heist” thing was the best bit (at least for me). Maybe because the concept of time travel was refreshing enough to get us excited and, yes, it was executed well. The actions scenes were action-packed (?). Like Infinity War, they chose the right peeps that would fit the character dynamics.
All of our left behind heroes were utilized perfectly with the right amount of screen time and dialogue. Everyone was balanced except for two characters, which we will get back to later. Huge praises for Nebula’s writing, she had one of the best arcs which was kind of overlooked. Scott’s character here is better than who he was in Ant-man & The Wasp. Thor stole every scene that he was in. Rhodes had his fair share of comedic moments as well, which was surprising. How the Russos rebranded Clint was one of things fans needed and it was satisfying to see it here. Almost everyone had well-realized motivations except for Carol and Okoye. Both were underutilized. There could’ve been at least a little more for them, especially for Captain Marvel since how they gave her that “big” build up. It was kind of disappointing.
Speaking of issues, the drama could’ve been heavier because it kind of gave me the impression that after what Thanos did, things got a little darker and our heroes are on their lowest point. With all the comedic interactions, I just craved for more deep, sympathetic, heartfelt connections between the left behind characters, despite their differences. They could’ve been the Breakfast Club, but with superpowers. Putting a little something in the center for this unexpected group. Just thought it can add more meaning (?) to the idea of crossing each other’s paths. The reason why I look at it this way is because Infinity War left us with a refreshing, yet grim atmosphere that was so fascinating. It may sound like a cliché plot device, but a superhero movie like Endgame simply deserves it.
One of the biggest praises here is that the Avengers in this saga, felt more human than ever. They were weak and expendable at this point, that is why I hoped that they embraced this idea to some extent. Played with it more. They could’ve emphasized on how the tables have turned for the heroes. That they are now the underdogs and Thanos is still on the upper hand. That could’ve added motivation resulting in a much more satisfying conclusion. I really don’t mind if this movie will take 5 hours or more just to get that sense (heck it didn’t even feel like it was 3 hours).
Overall, the flow of the story hits hard with unexpected elements, great action sequences and self-aware humor (?). The endings chosen for the major roles (Tony, Cap and Nat) were great calls. It’s just my subjective perspective hoping that they could’ve found a heart to this unusual ensemble.
Rating: 4/5

AVENGERS: ENDGAME, It’s So Good I Cried…TWICE!!! (SPOILER FREE)
So I’m going to keep this review short as I do not want to give anything away. Audiences should watch Endgame with a ‘spoiler-free’ mind, the only way that one can enjoy this film at the highest level.
I didn’t think that ENDGAME was as good as INFINITY WAR, but as the title suggests I still loved it. There were only a couple of ‘imperfect’ things, the most notable being the pacing. The beginning was extremely slow, and it took a while before the story actually got going, but it was understandable considering this was the aftermath of the dire consequences of Infinity War. And the second aspect was that there were a couple of characters I expected were going to have more screen time and more relevance to the story, but instead, they fizzled and diminished quickly away probably so that the story could concentrate on the first main characters of the original Avengers film.
Despite these minor flaws, for me, it was the end that made the film so magical, so incredible, and so emotional. I had tears, and because of the fact that there were other people in the cinema, I somehow controlled my emotions so that I would not cry and wail like a three year old toddler. The ending was a homage to itself, and if it was any other movie this would probably be quite arrogant, but what the film shows is how incredible the MCU has, for over a decade, created worlds and characters through 22 films that many a population has dedicated and invested their time, money, and emotion.
You don’t need me to tell you to watch it, the film has already taken over $1.2 billion after five days of its release. Just a word of advice: bring some tissues.
Rating: 4/5
It’s funny and sadly.
Found what i was looking for ! Thankyou Great job
Joy, Emotions and finally an ending.
This is the movie for which the whole world waited. We won’t get another movie like this for sure.
Love, Emotions, Friendship, goosebumps, and fight scenes are perfectly scripted.
One main theme is ‘Sacrifice’ yes it’s needed in our real life too but we can’t or won’t bear it.
Y’all need to quote about him and his dad. That money and time quote!!!
been looking for that 🙁
Tony said “No amount of money ever bought a second of time”
That was the whole movie.
So while youre at it, can you post the conversation between old cpt america and falcon?
Btw, what was the very last sentence said in the entire movie?
Where is Spiderman quotes after Tony snaps his fingers.
Those aren’t quotes it’s the ones like, “I love you three thousand”
Tony Starks Daughter to Him and Vice Versa
Agreed! I was looking for what Freya said to Thor about who he’s supposed to be and who he’s meant to be
Same, here it is:
Thor: His head was over there. His body over there (pointing). And what was the point? I was too late. I was just standing there. Some idiot with an axe.
Frigga: You’re no idiot. You’re here, aren’t you? Seeking counsel from the wisest person in Asgard.
Thor: Yes.
Idiot no. A failure? Absolutely.
Thor: Seems a little bit harsh.
Frigga: But you know what that makes you? Just like everyone else.
Thor: I’m supposed to be like everyone else, am I?
FRIGGA: EVERYONE FAILS AT WHO THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE, THOR. A MEASURE OF A PERSON, OF A HERO, IS HOW WELL THEY SUCCEED AT BEING WHO THEY ARE.
