Student Film Review

Posted on May 08, 2019

Avengers: Endgame is a PG-13, Action-Adventure, Sci-Fi film.

Endgame is the final film in the 22 films’ long “Infinity Saga” and marks the beginning of Marvel’s “Phase Four”. Endgame is not a film for newcomers as without the viewings of all prior 21 titles, Endgame won’t make any sense.

After the events of “Avengers: Infinity War” leading to half of the universe’s decimation by Thanos’ Gauntlet, in turn leaving The Avengers in shambles, the remaining heroes decide to take one last stand and restore peace to the universe.

Endgame’s runtime is 3 hours. The story is a strong one all throughout but deals with some minor pacing issues in the first half. These issues are not very noticeable when you are caught up in the middle of an enthralling story of superheroes trying to get vengeance for the ones they have lost, and you forget everything happening around you. The story is filled with hundreds of references for die-hard fans to pick out, from comic book references to visual nods and cameos, there is always something happening.

Endgames’ writing is phenomenal and with brilliant acting to go along with it, the story is one thrilling journey. Endgames’ visuals are astonishing, action is high octane, and backgrounds are astounding, leaving not a single moment feeling dull. Even in the slow moments, Avengers: Endgame keeps you at the edge of your seat waiting for the next emotional twist. Endgame is an amazing film and a brilliant conclusion to the series thus far, and is sure to leave even the most die-hard fans satisfied.

RATING: 9/10

Avengers: Endgame is an amazing piece of cinema. Although having tiny pacing issues during its beginning half, Endgame is an experience like no other with a gripping story and remarkable visuals. Endgame is a must see for every Marvel fan!
