Avengers: Endgame (2019)

After last years devastating events that took place in "Infinity War", fans now get to witness the "Endgame". 11 years and 22 films, it all comes down to this final epic conclusion to an unforgettable trophy case of films. As if the events of "Infinity War" weren't emotional enough, this direct follow-up is just as emotional, maybe if not more than the "Infinity War". This film is everything if not more than what I expected. It's the perfect conclusion to a magnificent saga of films. You'll laugh, cry and scream, this film will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. After 10 years of amazing films, this is the end. This is an amazing conclusion and serves as the best "MCU" film of all time.
   
There is no one more capable to play our heroes. They have brought these iconic characters to life in such a remarkable way. This is what makes these films so enjoyable, is the cast. If it weren't for the cast in this film, we wouldn't have come to love these characters. The emotional investment fans have had all these years is palpable once you see this film.

Directing sibling-duo Joe & Anthony Russo have been making thrilling entries in the "MCU" for over 5 years, starting with the Captain America sequel "The Winter Soldier". Ever since, they have made undeniably entertaining films, this film is no exception. This is perhaps one of their best films. It's got heart, humor and heart-pounding action that fills this film to the brim.

"Endgame" has some of (if not the best action in any "Marvel" film since 2016's "Captain America: Civil War". It's exciting and jam-packed with action that's unlike any of the preceeding films in the "Marvel" filmography.

To keep the film on its toes, returning composer Alan Silvestri, booms back in the screen. Silvestri crafts another stunning, thrilling and epic score that is perhaps just as exciting as the film it so fittingly serves. Silvestri's now iconic "Avengers" theme is a staple in its own right because of how well it fits into the film. His score and themes will no doubt reign supreme in "Marvel" cinematic history.

Could there be anyone else more deserving of playing baddie Thanos no other than Josh Brolin. Brolin is the perfect choice to play him because he plays the evil doer in such a menacing and hell bent way that is no doubt exciting. Brolin's Thanos is quite possibly the best villain in any "Marvel" film thus far.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, this is the perfect ending to a magnificent filmography. It is bittersweet, it's fun and absolutely emotional from start to end. With a hulk-sized runtime of 3 hours, this is perhaps the best 3 hours I've ever spent at the cinema, perhaps ever. So, with all that to say, I just want to extend my utmost thanks and applause to everyone at "Marvel" for creating not only outstanding films for us all these years, but for making this the grandest-of grand finales in the history of any film franchise, and quite honestly, the grandest sequel to any film ever.
