*****SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD*****

It's crazy to think it's been 11 years since the first Iron Man that kicked off the MCU and EVERY superhero movie from then has been phenomenal! High expectations for End Game was met with everything us fans wanted; the emotional emphasis, the classic Marvel humour, the individual consideration for each character and the attention to detail👌
.
The nostagalia is CRAZY as we are taken through Avengers phase 1, 2 and 3. The side references to previous Marvel movies was like the directors were winking in my face😂 absolutely loved that. The quick shot of Stan Lee had me tearing up and the pure cinematic art was THE BEST of the Russo Brothers 👏
.
There were moments I thought I was going to roll my eyes because I did not want Captain America or Captain Marvel to hog the scenes, but they didn't! The screentime given to each character was perfect and Captain Marvel didn't just save the day; was SO good to see Thanos didn't give a toss.
.
Overall there was heartbreak, love, compassion and a bittersweet ending that had all the Avengers movies flash before my eyes. I NEED a phase 4 soon. HOWEVER, I think I found a mistake regarding a drink can Thor was drinking, missing from a shot (will have to watch it again to be sure 😂). Also took me a while to grasp Captain America's time-line. Definitely excited to see Spiderman Far from Home as it picks up after Endgame, and excited to see the next GOTG as Gomara's present time-line has changed. But I do feel as we have more Marvel movies yet to come, will they meet the Endgame hype?
.
And lastly, the last fight, *good vs evil* was so breathtakingly epic, I don't think I blinked. Or breathed. But it just wasn't enough.
.
Thank you to all the actors and everyone ever involved in the MCU for making this an epic franchise. Thank you to Stan Lee for all of it and letting us into your legacy, I'm forever greatful 🥀#rip

9/10 - a powerful, life memorable experience
