[AAA] Avengers Endgame

How do you conclude a 11-year old saga in a way that doesn't mess things up? It does sound like a near impossible task, but the Russo Brothers have surprisingly accomplished it.

'Avengers: Endgame', which marks the end of the Infinity Saga, is spellbounding and surely an enthralling experience. The last film of the 'Avengers' franchise is remarkable and doesn't disappoint. Watching all our favourite superheroes in one film is just surpassing. Marvel has been working on this grand culmination ever since they released 'Iron Man'. I'm damn sure that all of their hard work and ambition has paid off. The directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, have made sure that it delivers an unforgettable experience. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have come up with a screenplay full of epic and unpredictable moments. The film has a great balance of humour, emotions and action. The biggest strength of the film is the emotions. This is the most emotional superhero film I have ever seen. It's just perfect. The action sequences were jaw-dropping. The climatic battle left me amazed. It's just filled with memorable moments and cannot be described with words. The visuals are gorgeous and have a great impact on the film. The humour doesn't look exaggerated and manages to entertain throughout the film. The plot twists were very impressive and suspenseful. The film features many cameos of characters from the previous MCU films, which just gives a double dose of excitement. The background score gives me goosebumps, though I've listened to it several times. It was really clever to make changes to the characterization of the Hulk. I enjoyed that a lot. But the show-stealer is Robert Downey Jr, who plays the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man. The man who started it all proves yet again that there's no one else who can perfect his role. Do not miss his powerful moments in the final battle.

However, there are a few parts that haven't hit the mark. The slow-paced story doesn't have a great impact on the film. The first half is very slow and a bit boring and it could have been better, but the second half just overshadows it with the astonishing moments. Thor had always been good enough in the previous films to grab the attention of the fans, but the filmmakers have ruined him in this film. The character who should have been one of the wisest characters is just shown as the biggest joke of the film. It was really interesting and fun to watch Captain Marvel interact with the Avengers, but had she been given more screen time, it would have been more satisfying. Another disappointing fact is that it's no match to 'Infinity War'.

'Avengers: Endgame' isn't the best Marvel film. Nor is it a flawless superhero film, but that doesn't change the fact that it's one of the most satisying conclusions ever. 'Endgame' gives the perfect send-off to our favourite superheroes. This is a sheer spectacle full of twists, turns and suprises. At 3 hours, it does feel long, but the stupendous performances and the character interactions make for a fun and an energetic ride.

I'm going with four out of five for 'Avengers: Endgame'. It's the cinematic event of a lifetime, which you should not miss
