Avengers: Endgame (film)

[Neil]

Enjoyable... Some very good scenes, but ultimately for me a tad myeh, as I tend to just get bored of super duper powers fighting superer duperer powers before they then finally use more supererer dupererer powers...

Prefer more confined "powers" to something a bit more tangible. eg: Iron Man or Captain America or the Sam Raimi Spiderman films.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Twice now. The first time is a bit of sensory overload because there’s SO much to take in within the three hour run time, but in the repeat viewing I was able to kinda relax and dive further into it. Sure, it’s got the super power fights, but it’s also got a great message at its core about being present with your loved ones and saying how it is that you really feel.

Basically the entire film has that little through line, all wrapped up in fan service. The GOOD kind of fan service, too!

Loved it. Great fun, no complaints here other than Spider-Man consistently removing his mask.

Fan service is the perfect word to describe this film. A reward to those who has been following for the last decade plus.

Over this past weekend, the Russo Brothers put out a statement that the “official” spoiler ban on Endgame would be lifted on Monday. Turns out they announced it because of the release of the new Spider-Man trailer, which deals directly with the aftermath of the previous film. So only watch the trailer if you’ve seen Endgame:

Interesting....

Watching this again, it really hit me how great Silvesteri’s score is! Feels like he doesn’t get enough recognition as one of the top living composers. His themes for Endgame go a long way to ratcheting up the emotions.
