Review By Siddhant Raizada (India)
Avengers: Endgame is culmination of 22 movies which is something not many movie franchises can brag about but this also means that Endgame had a huge responsibility to carry on its shoulder. It had to bring closure to multiple character arcs, ignite the fire for new ones to come and also deliver a coherent and meaningful story at the same time. There were a few snags but Russo brothers were mostly able to deliver on each of those expectations and gave us a cinematic extravaganza that will go down history as one of the most significant Hollywood event to take place in recent times.
This movie is a love letter to past 10 years of MCU from including multitude of past movie references to including its many type of signature humor, action scenes and shooting styles.
This movie had almost all the main cast from its previous 22 movies and each one of them gave their best in terms of acting especially the main avengers, this was one the best performance we have seen from Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Junior, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd and Jeremy Renner. I liked some of the direction choices made by Russo brothers and disliked the others, In a movie populated with so many characters they were able to do the balancing act just right, the emotional scene had impact and the humor scene made me laugh and most (not all) main character got the screen time they needed. Iron-Man and Ant-Man are really the highlights they bring in a lot a humanising elements to the movie.
By the end the director were able to tell a story with a satisfying end to many of the superheroes arc who have inspired young and adults alike for the past 10 years and gave way to new superheroes to inspire next generation of kids.
There are consequences of having such large scale movie and it showed like there were lot of character development that happened behind the camera – Hulk and Bruce Banner were never comfortable in each other skin and this is a theme going on since Avengers 1 but now we jumped directly to the conclusion which I think will leave Hulk fans a little disappointed, A lot of panic and menace which may happen after half the population disappears was never shown through a civilian perspective which would have given a more emotional gravitas to the situation.
Captain Marvel’s character felt like it was shoehorned in the movie. Her main reason was to save Stark but how she found him remains a mystery and while Thanos was a very sophisticated villain in Infinity War here he was just another big bad arrogant villain.
Compared to Infinity War this movie lacked a sense of forward motion, after killing Thanos and retrieving all the stones the rest of the people and avengers were avenged, their job was done and plot complete. The final battle felt like it was there because movie was lacking a big action set piece.
The final battle was great because of the characters present in them, seeing all of them in action was a sight to behold but there was no sense of scale (just compare it to Wakanda battle from Infinity War).
The cinematography was also good in parts like the Ant-Man scene where he was searching if his daughter was alive was well shot and the frantic camera movement showed his angst as well but then the Captain America vs Captain America fight scene was very poorly shot with so many cuts that it was hard to follow their fight, Otherwise the CGI and most of the scene looked very beautiful.
The soundtrack is probably the best one yet.
This movie had to deliver on a lot of promises and initially I felt that few cons could have been neglected when scale of the movie is this big but seeing how Infinity War released just a year ago did delivered on a lot of similar promises in a shorter run time, I think this is a good movie which definitely could have done better but ultimately what matters is that it was able to give satisfying end to an era of superhero which are an inspiration to younger generation.
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

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.
Efren says

Agreed! I was looking for what Freya said to Thor about who he’s supposed to be and who he’s meant to be
Kurt says
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.
