It all comes to an end in the epic superhero film Avengers: Endgame. In the wake of Thanos' mass genocide the Avengers come up with a plan to get everyone back. Once again the writers have done an extraordinary job at integrating and interweaving the various Marvel properties. And the special effects are just amazing; especially during the final battle sequence, capturing the massive scope of the battle and the multiple fights going on between the characters. Each superhero gets their moment to shine, and a number of greatest hits moments from the MCU are revisited, Back to the Future Part II style. Still, there are some pacing issues and more than a few plot contrivances. Yet despite whatever problems it has, Avengers: Endgames is an incredible achievement.

The franchise is mostly just quoting itself at this point, trying to find new ludicrous action sequences (the guillotine one is great), MacGuffins to chase and weird undead conditions for the bad guys. That's entertaining enough and wraps up the series rather nicely in its final scenes, but was it really necessary? Probably not.
