NO SPOILER: The Infinity War of Infinity War. This could be the best Marvel film ever. When I enter the theatre, I could feel that this is it, the final chapter of a great expansive cinematic universe which I have been invested in since I don't even know there is connective universe. The monumental achievement of this great film is that can handle direct momentum of 22 films of interwoven plots, characters development, visual effect and different vision of each film. Each character from the film, in which their only connection is through a screen, felt like old friends. The feeling that we share the up and down, we felt the grief, the anger, and the weight of their failure as if we could help. We also see how each of them deal with it in different way as if they were real along with the logic of their decisions whether were a clouded or made clearer by the unfolded events. Every movie is made for the audiences. while we watch it, the feeling is as if the directors were reading the collective mind of the viewer. The way they execute each surprise, or each unanswered question in the back of our head is amazing, emotional, and fit perfectly well in story arc. Even the people who think Scarlet Witch is Gamora, cheered at the surprise they are able to drop in the middle of a fight scene. The fight choreography itself is flawlessly done, from the fighting style to the decision of each move blend in their characteristic. However, To build this monumental film without flaws is next to impossible. Although, near invisible, it has a big impact on overall narrative. The movie has moved the audience like a rollercoaster, from sad, nostalgia to excitement but I felt "cheated" for a large part of film. I feel that they are using elements from previous installment, more than they should. The feeling that they "kill the dog at the end of the movie to get the viewer to be sad". You'll find this kind of cheats from the beginning to end. Some of them are not even serve a logical or narrative purpose other than pull at audience's heart string. That would be okay since they need to wrap up many ends to the film, but some the comedy however, are unnecessary, which lead to the long run time. Avengers Endgame has a comedy problem. It is known that Marvel's film has sprinkle of comedic moments here and there but during the runtime, some of the jokes feel forced while they are funny, they did nothing for character's development or narrative. I find some of jokes play along the story progression, while others get their own pocket in the runtime. I watch Endgame twice now, these comedic moments does not work well the 2nd time. It is true that "All films are made for the audiences" but it suppose to take them on a journey, not gives out candies everytime they asked for it along the way. it felt like Disney or anyone in charge, demanded more comedic relief. It gave off The Last Jedi vibes for what should be a serious movie. For the audiences the value of movie doesn't come during, it come after theatre light turned on, and for this film, it came after the realization of 10 years of emotion invested come to spatacular end. you are saying goodbye to old friends, the end of an era. This is the greatest movies in the MCU. In this movie, They truly become "The Avengers" I walked out the theatre satisfied, nostalgic,and the needs to go to the bathroom. A 9/10 masterpiece. Thank you 3000.

went to the cinema with high expectation and still ended up blown away, how the characters are portrayed, how certain events happen on a certain time and the detail on the design and how it's all tied together. This is a beautifully made masterpiece of a production, but more importantly as a story. This film is more art than movie. During the screening you'll notice the subtlety of the design, the architecture. The composition, edits, cuts feel very natural. I feel different because rather than a production that made for fans for a quick cash grab from the audience, they made this movie into its own thing and those who are watching are just along for the ride. The arc of the story have twists and turns, but not like a generic material that you would normally see, it's flow gracefully, naturally and anything can happen at anytime. I sat there for 2 hrs for what felt like a lifetime, and in this context, It was the best couple of hours that I spent watching a movie. If I write everything good about this it would be as long as the movie's script itself. so, it's time to write about the flaw or rather my takes while experience this for the 1st time. The characters don't feel like they developed mentally through the years that passes. They don't really change other than the obvious physical appearance and a few behavioral changes that comes with growing up. It's like during the transition they're just sitting there while nothing external has shape their characteristic. if there is it's not noticeable. I don't watch a lot of anime. so I find it difficult when the character face look really similar. I also watch it on a 3:2 screen so I never got used to reading the subtitle so far down from the screen. Overall, this is a movie of a lifetime, literally. While other studios have big budget and actions scenes. They could never leave as impression as this masterpiece. This is by far one of the best flim, and the best anime I ever seen. But I don't watch a lot of anime, so take this with grain of salt
