‘Endgame’ has an abundance of surprises, all jammed into a screenplay written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and directed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony. Of course, I will not mention any of the twists here, because part of the fun of ‘Endgame’ is giving yourself in to the Russos’ narrative and letting the twists and turns wash over you like no other MCU movie has before. Yes, “Avengers: Endgame” is, by far, the best ‘Avengers’ movie of the four released, but also one of the very best movies of the MCU. The main cast in this film all has surprisingly hefty drama to chew on, all having to deal with the haunting of their own individual past mistakes. It’s deep stuff for what is essentially supposed to be a three-hour comic book movie. Yet, the plot is intricately detailed and features an interlocking mosaic narrative. The Russos have to juggle more than a dozen characters, all of whom seem to share an even-keeled amount of screentime, but unlike “Infinity War,” it all blends and works perfectly. ”Avengers: Endgame” is, at the end of the day, still a comic book movie, which means the poignantly done but anti-climactic finale feels overcooked and over-the-top because, well, the mainstream desperately needs to have closure from this 22-movie saga, which means we will have the strained goodbyes, the closures, and the set-ups for future characters, but looking back at what transpired before us in this wonderfully imaginative epic, you just can’t help but think there was no better way to end the journey the way it ends here with ‘Endgame.’ [B+] Contribute Hire me
