These movies and the directors behind them are briliant at giving short lines that give you more understanding of the character than some more serious dramas do in 30 minutes, same goes for performances, Robert Downey Jr. shows he's entire emotional spectrum in a single scene, something he can not do in any other "serious" film like the Judge for example.

very reasonable review. Saw it, didn't get emotional, but can't deny it was a monumentous spectacle and therefore pretty damn entertaining.

I love how coy mark's being when talking about a post credits scene. As someone who IS a big marvel fan I chuckled and even suspected they'd go the route they did as the credits went on.

I find it very satisfying that even a battle hardened movie critic like mark kermode can well up from time to time! I’m not alone!!

Balanced and thoughtful review. (as always)

What a great review, and spoiler free! And of course, a mention of The Exorcist. 🤣👍🏻

I was surprised by how much of the stuff that was supposed to be emotional actually worked, that was really the big weakness of a lot of these films (including IW) is that it just felt like stuff they had to do to get to the action. Some of it still felt a little hackneyed but for the most part it worked

I really loved the Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country ending with all the main cast getting their credit and their signature on the screen. I thought that was very classy and very touching.

‘’It’s not weird,I get emails from a raccoon’!!

I agree about the first part being great. I do not get the complaints online about the beginning being slow. Considering what happened at the end of Infinity War, it's understandable that they're miserable. Did people expect them to be sad for all of 5 minutes before forgetting everything and zipping around, shooting enemies again? It's called characters actually being interesting for a moment, but apparently the masses just want bright explosions and one-liners for 3 hours...

I'm very late, but I think what Markus and McFeely achieved with the screenplay is pretty unprecedented for the sticking of a landing.

This review is a very fair reflection of the movie, which I saw a few hours ago. A lot of effort has been made to tie up the loose ends and actively engage all the characters we have come to know and like over the years, so well done to everyone involved.

I agree, I have to respect so many people who have seen it so far have done a good job of not sharing spoilers about it, I have to admire that. I might not be as keen on seeing Endgame like others, but I always respect when people are considerate about not sharing spoilers (or at least make it very clear that spoilers are going to be shared).

Personally, I loved all three acts. Of course there are some problems that could be picked apart if you sat down and plotted the whole film out, but I think the problems in the film are small enough (and explained away quite well) that you can look past them and see what the film is doing. The final act is something you can see coming, but it's the genre trope, and instead of just doing the trope, the filmmakers use the trope to the bests of their advantage.

I thought the world "decimate," literally translated from Latin to " taken a tenth," meaning that if there had been an attempted mutiny or similar activity where you might want to punish a large number of people whom you can't afford to just execute then you could decimate that legion so that regardless of rank or any other external factors every soldier is given a one in ten chance of being executed. It's surprising how forcing a group or team of people to have to execute a random selection of their number by their own hand can strike so much terror into such hardy individuals as you'd likely find amongst such folks.

One thing I did like about Endgame is how even though Captain Marvel was very powerful, she was about the same as some of the most powerful other Avengers so it didn't ruin the story line.

The bit about the credits there is worth mentioning. There are no after credits scenes but at least stay for the big amazing graphic design credits/mid credits because they are beautiful. There is a sound at the very very very end of the movie but there is no more film footage.

IMO they knocked it out of the park. I was In a packed theater of pretty passionate fans and the amount of cheers, applause and audience wide gasps were a testament to what this movie was able to accomplish. My Brother was crying, the guy next to me was crying, everybody was crying. I legit haven't teared up in a movie since Return of the King opening night.

Agreed with you on the third act

It becomes more "elegant" the second time one sees it...

There was a sound over the end of the credits. It was Tony hammering in a cave.

I agree with you that the beginning and middle of "Endgame" is the best parts. I liked the time travel and the seeing of their past in their face, but the idea of the world changed and superheroes changed by what Thanos did to them in "Infinity Wars" shown at the beginning of "Endgame" better. So "Infinity Wars" is my 35th favorite movie of all time. It is in my top 100 and the first and fourth are outside the top 100 movies, but the third one does not make it into the top 300 favorite movies. Why is "Infinity Wars" my favorite? Because the doomsday prophet states the truth, works for his truth, and then hates the truth. The first one was excellent in introducing the characters such that you got to know the characters and how they see each other or interact with each other such that you love the action sequences later. The last one (#4 of the series) is excellent in time travel and the characters going back through past scenes, but there is no wow moment like in the third. 35) Avengers: Infinity Wars (2018) 123) Avengers: End game (2019) 139) Avengers (2012)

Every person's favorite movie is particular to them. To just put it out there without giving some information as to why is not right. My favorite movie is "The Scarlet Pimpernel" with Anthony Andrews. It is like a Batman character who feels real within a bloody time frame in France as they are using the guillotine to slay 17,000 men, women, and children of nobility to become a democratic state under Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre who would be known by only the first and last name or just the last name. Anthony Andrew is the richest man in England using a band of men to save lives in France. Feel free to watch the trailers for these movies and see if they interest you.

A brilliant film, with even one point of the plot that may have folk scratching their heads actually proving *potentially* explainable.

He’s right when he says it feels like an ending because that’s exactly what it is; the final Marvel movie, therefore there’s no mid or after credits scene. There’s a bit in the credits showing the cast, like in Twilight Breaking Dawn Pt. 2, but that’s the end of Endgame.

Not a chance in hell this is the last Marvel movie. The last Avengers movie, probably but there will still be future Guardians of the Galaxy movies as well as stand alone Super hero films.

There will be no more stand alone Thor, Captain, or Iron Man films. Guardians yes, and the Loki tv show which’ll be awesome, but again, that’s the end.

@@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat There will be more standalone Spiderman films, maybe Ant Man or who knows they'll introduce new characters to fill the void. They simply make too much money not to continue

Great review

He's back!

Unlike Infinity war which felt like a lot of setup this film feels much more rewarding. It was great to see the original Avengers have their story arcs finished. One of my biggest problems with Marvel films before this one was there never seemed to be a resolution.

I like the comparison with Logan a film I have only seen once and have no rush to see again as it will dilute my first viewing. One day like Infinity War & Endgame I will see both again, for now I'm content 😍

A great review in that it carefully explains where Kermode is coming from and why he think the way he think about it. I don't agree though (about which parts of the movie works). The ending works because after Infinity War the expected is not quite as expected anymore. And it doesn't give you everything. Things does not work out 100% as people would wish and there are a couple of unexpected things happening My main complaint would be that this is a movie that is setting out to break all records in attendance but a movie that no one should see unless everyone has at least seen Infinity War. This will rob a lot of people of the experience you are supposed to get from this film and a lot of the film is very confusing already. I got more out of it on my second viewing.

Imagine If Barry Norman was still reviewing movies.

Funny how he refers to Infinity War as a movie with a downbeat ending yet in his original review called it inconsequential. But I agree with everything else he said about this and his Infinity War review:-)

Great movie and very good review. Only thing I'd have added to Endgame would have been to have had Nick Fury among the crowd at Stark's funeral service, and a digitised Stan Lee stood on the porch behind Captain Marvel, just watching over everyone contentedly and proudly.
