** spoilers alert *** Avengers: Endgame in one word simply fantastic!!!!!!!!!!. I am a massive marvel fan. Have seen every single marvel cinematic universe film release ever since it all really kicked off with the first iron man back in 2008 (the mind boggles this was over 10 years ago). I had very high expectations going into this film and I was not disappointed. The amount of humour moments was a surprise but very welcome. The action (especially the massive battle between thanos army and the returning heroes) was truly grandiose. The moment the heores all return starting with black panther was just very very cool! (Look who isnt so smug now). Sorry any black widow fans but the really standout emotional moment of the film for me had to be Tony Stark's fittingly heroic exit. (It was right he is the one who finally outsmarts thanos - played brilliantly by Josh Brolin across both films). Robert Downey Jr had played Iron Man so well in so many of the films prior to this it was always going to be really hard to say goodbye to his character. Captain America Steve Rodgers passing on the mantle was also fitting - finally taking iron man advice (if you've seen the film you'll know what I mean). The big battle for me topped the wakanda battle of the last film. It would so good that much more of the heroes got a chance to shine. I have to also say a very emotional film. I can hear your comments already - come on your having a laugh it's a film about superheroes. This film was steeped in emotion - everyone can relate to love and loss. By the directors showing our heroes in a very human way, showing there vulnerabilities as well there strengths as heores it gave the film much gravitas. Extremely fitting for a story that been developed for over 10 years. I would go as far as to say this film is should go down as a landmark in films history and it deserves to make mega amounts of money which is absolutely guaranteed. I will be going to see it again - a second viewing is a must I think. I don't know if the films will be as good going forward if indeed Brie Larson's Captain Marvel becomes the new focial point going forward. Absolutely nothing against strong female lead roles. I like who they're got to play the part. However the character seems almost too powerful - taking out another warship single handedly. Why would she need the avengers help? The message to all film fans - go see this film then go see it again!!!!!! Absolutely the most satisfying film I have seen at the cinema in a long while ( I go to the cinema a lot).
