Endgame rules them all, A


The Russo brothers have effectively assembled a film that successfully ends 11 years of story telling with replacing battle scenes with our super heroes love and families making Endgame one of, if not the best Marvel film of all time.

It's easy to say there won't be another film like Endgame. The fact is mind blowing alone that some how, an amazing film can still happen with so many of Hollywood's greatest actors in one place. It clocks in over three hours-but it surely doesn't feel that long, in fact, it almost feels like it actually could have been even longer. The fact is, Endgame succeeds all expectations. It will make you cheer, it will make you cry, and most of all it will make you laugh-something that all super hero films should look up to in the future. The most important thing about Endgame is however, that Robert Downey JR gives it his all.

Downey is by far the highlight out of all the actors in Endgame, as well as he should be. With every scene that he's in (and Iron Man fans don't worry, he's in a lot of them), you can tell that Downey is giving it his greatest and best effort yet, combining all of those eleven years he's been Iron Man to one film. It's a brilliant performance, and one that people will remember to years to come. Dare we say it that it's almost Oscar worthy, and let's face it, Downey was the start of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when he first put on that Iron Man suite 23 films and 11 years ago. It's only fitting he gives his best performance ever in Endgame. It's worth to watch it just for Robert Downey JR.

Of course, there's so many other great acting involved with Endgame it's almost a crime just to highlight one performance. The original Avengers team, highlighted by an incredible performance by Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, also gives it their all with great acting from everyone involved.
One of the surprises of Endgame is how much newcomer Paul Rudd is involved in the film, and he actually does surprisingly well as Scott Lang.

On an over all scale, acting is just one of the highlights of Endgame.

The story line, direction and cinematography are all incredible from the beginning of the film to the last. That being said, it really isn't necessary to see Endgame in 3-D or IMAX. It would just be as good to see this super hero epic on an original screen in any theater.

Endgame isn't like any other Avengers film because it really focuses on family matters and super heroes loved ones instead of great battle scenes, and because of that, it makes it a better film than the first two. Even though Endgame doesn't have as much action in it than the first Avengers or Age of Ultron, it's never boring, and there are still wow factors in almost every scene.

The direction is exceptional, and The Ruso Brothers should be considered a powerful Academy Award nominee for the 2020 award season. They've done exceptionally well with drafting the stories and paying close attention to all of the other Marvel films as well.

Finally, Thanos returns and is better than ever in Endgame. He doesn't disappoint even though he has less on screen time than in Infinity War.

Over all, Endgame is a beautiful end to the Infinity War saga of Marvel film history. It's something that future super hero films should all look up to, and hopefully the new DC Universe can be just as great as this one.
