Some thoughts on Endgame:
-This is an epic movie that uses every bit of its 3+ hour runtime. It doesn't move nearly as quickly as Infinity War did but that doesn't mean it's slow, it just feels like events that happened 30 minutes earlier seem like a very long time ago.
-The expectations for this film were impossible and it manages to exceed them. You can come up with some minor complaints, and there is one scene that I found very contrived that took me out of the movie for a bit, but the thing as a whole is as near perfect as a movie can be, especially one that has so much to do. It's immensely satisfying.
-It's not as funny as even Infinity War though there is plenty of humor. That's largely because the film wants you to feel the weight of loss in a universe that's lost half its population, and it's heavy. It's not dreary or depressing necessarily, just more serious.
-Besides just dealing with loss there are a lot of emotional scenes in the movie. If you are invested in these characters you're probably going to get choked up at least five times.
-The movie really celebrates and honors the past eleven years of the MCU. You might get confused if you don't remember everything exactly but you'll probably be able to follow along.
-The finale is probably the best thing the MCU has put on screen. There is so much good there and one moment in particular that I pumped my fist in the air and exclaimed out loud.
-Honestly, I'm a little worried about the future of the MCU, but this was a fitting way to end the first 11 years.
