Avengers Endgame-10/10
It's not a perfect movie. Dealing with time travel is tricky, and inevitably leaves plot holes. How fucking ever, this movie was everything any movie and comic fan could likelyever ask for. The acting is superb. Particularly with Hemsworth, Downey Jr, Rudd and Evans.
There's a scene at the end battle where a beat to shit Cap wills himself up, in the face of defeat no less, and looks to push thru despite being hopeless in winning. It's a shining moment for the character.
Many of these characters get to have awesome moments. But it's the story, the weight of the circumstances involved and the devastating finality for the core members that sets this film apart from any Marvel movie ever.
It's funny, clever, and the set pieces are great. But I cannot say enough about how great it was to see these characters act in such desperation towards a common goal, and see a different version of Thanos that's still so charismatic, just as he was in the previous installment.
Easily, this is the best movie Marvel has ever done for me. It's not a perfect film. But it is a perfect ending for the core they've established. And though there's new threads for Thor to explore, as a whole, this was a perfect sendoff for 11 years of work. Well done, Russo brothers, you magnificent bastards.
