*an energy portal opens in the backyard of a house where Annie walks out*
Annie: Ok, im here. *looks around to first meet Team Blast, but turns out there's Eric Blakron, Bryan Emmerich, Blackonne and Sally Ukrone, but no Smash, Marian Blakron, TBag and Mystica* Hey there, what happened to the other members?
Bryan Emmerich: Welcome to our universe, but yeah, as i said before, you're not the only one who witnessed the event where nearly everyone are all disappeared. We just call you for help.
Annie: Why?
Eric Blakron: Because he have to find the way to bringing everyone back the way it used to be. We have top fight Thanos and hopefully if we got his gauntlet to using it to complete our goal.
Annie: To... Using a rocket ship?
Bryan Emmerich: Yes, build it from last year, we have to blast away into different universe to find him.
Annie: This can be hard like its gonna take a years to going through there.
Bryan Emmerich: Don't worry, our ship has a special hyper-drive that we can go travelling.
Annie: Ah, it kinda make sense.
*As they going into their ship, they flies away from Earth in order to blasting through another universe. Just then, Annie strangely found a comic book of called "Endgame"*
Annie; Huh... I guess i can watching it and talking about it...
(Review starts)
Hey everyone, my name is Annie and welcome back to the movie review.
For the past ten years, we had seen every MCU films that they introduced us that we all know and love, aside from some that are disappointed. But in 2018, we had "Infinity War", which it was despite its a great film, but it jumped the gun in the ending where we lost nearly everyone in MCU, so after one year, we're going to the last chapter of Infinity War.
"Avengers Endgame" is a 2019 Marvel Superhero film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, produced by Kevin Feige (like many MCU films he's done) and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
With this film, we can all agree its one of the biggest anticipation film we've been waiting for with our heroes going on round two against Thanos one more time since before. But of course, it was a 3 hours long movie that most people like me will never go to the bathroom to watch the rest of the movie. Unless some will gotta go if there's no action with more focus of dialogues or something. But of course, this film was trending of "#NoSpoilers", which even though i will talking about the movie's story, but i won't go further and further, otherwise il be exposed.
So, with all that said, will this movie is a worth of waiting to saving the universe, is this film that we're stuck forever in "Endgame" with nearly no populations?
Well, lets find out...!
The Story
Since we're in Endgame, we expected to have an epic rematch where Thanos keeps his stone in his homeland, right? Well, this one is pretty different and kinda complicated. But it doesn't mean its bad, but its actually impressive.
It picks up three weeks after the event of Infinity War, Tony Stark and Nebula are stranded in space that their ship is running out, but they're eventually being rescued by Captain Marvel to send back to Earth to reunite the remains of Avengers. Which they're going for a rematch against Thanos, but it was too late that the Infinity Stones are gone from his gauntlet. That resulting to fast forward five years later, where the world is like in semi post-apocalyptic future, Scott Lang strangely came back from the quantum realm (since the mid-credit of "Ant-Man and The Wasp", Spoiler Alert), which he's in the verge of panic for a help. Which turns out, not only he got stuck in quantum realm, but it also made him in time travelling, which Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) got his intention from Scott to building a time machine and bring the Infinity stones. Its up to our remaining heroes of Avengers to travelling back in time to get the stones once and for last time.
Like i said, i though it would've been great for the rematch where Thanos keeps his stones, but that didn't happened, instead its all about time traveling. Which is fine, but it has an interesting execution that this movie has a deja vu feel when they're going back in time, which our heroes are separately into previous films like "The Avengers" (which i liked, despite its a bit flawed), "Thor: The Dark World" (a sequel which is not a good sequel before Ragnarok.) and "Guardians of the Galaxy" (which is easily a fun movie thats its definitely recommended to watch). Plus, despite it still have funny moments (which its some jokes are funny), but it also adds a drama, since after Infinity War, we want to have some sad moments when the universe remains in depression with half living. Even though the whole time traveling is maybe good, but it has a flaws, which the first act is dragging on for nearly an hour after failed interrogation at Thanos, i understand to give us a character development from the aftermath, but come on, it would've been take a small action since its a three hours long movie. But sometimes it has a same plot element from Infinity War, but in different way, but i don't wanna get a full detail.
Even though its what i expected for the story, but the story is interesting with some good execution, even if some part could dragging on in the first act.
The Presentation
Once again, like any previous MCU films, the presentation are impressive for the actions, the suits, the location and more, but this one is pretty big with $356 million of budget, making it even more expensive, but AS expensive than "Avengers: Age of Ultron".
Lets start with the setting of the location, the location of the aftermath of Infinity War looks pretty moody and depressing with over grown plants and abandoned places, its typical that we've seen before, but not bad. But like i said before, the movie brought us a flash back of three previous films, its pretty nice to brought us the same old locations, even if i was nervous if the old characters could get noticed from our current heroes, even if it could be funny or disturbing.
As for the action scenes, man, this is gonna be huge, like a lot of action scenes are taken place from the pasts and perhaps in present, but some of them are pretty cool, and other are downright epic, but again, i won't going further. Most of action scenes is all about get the stones before Thanos gets them all for good reason, even though sometimes, some moments where anyone get the stone could be confusing if some like me never seen before, like the reality stone are found in Thor's sequel film. Yeah, im one of those people that avoided this weakest film, despite it has a reality stone that it was used to be Aether.
And lastly, we get the superhero/villains appearance, its quiet obvious that most of them are done in practical, while others are done with motion capture like Thanos, the various creatures and few others. Some of new outfits are pretty good like Iron Man's suit (as usual), Ant-Man (plus, it has an Easter Egg that we can easily notice) and Thor's armor. And some is nice to bring back, like the Captain America's outfit with his signature shield since it got destroyed by Iron Man in Civil War or even Rocket Raccoon's classic outfit that was based on comic, thats another nice Easter Egg.
Despite some some are recycle and hard to tell that i've never heard, but once again, this film looks pretty cool with actions, the appearance, the location and the CG details are outstanding and possibly colorful.
The Characters
With the same casts as before, not only they're still likable whether they remains the same and some has a new developments. Even if some of survivor are missing that they would've make more appearance.
This movie focuses with the remaining heroes such as Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr for the last time in MCU), Captain America (played by Chris Evans, also last time in MCU), Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (played by Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (played by Natasha Romanoff), Hawkeye (played by Jeremy Renner), War Machine (played by Don Cheadle), Scott Lang's Ant-Man (played by Paul Rudd), Nebula (played by Karen Gillan), Rocket Raccoon (played by Bradley Cooper) and recently Captain Marvel (played by once again, Brie Larson).
These guys are only the focus to their goal of time traveling. In fact, some of them got changed, such as Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) lives in his cabin to have his daughter Morgan, which at first he doesn't want to go without her, but accept for his journey after five years, Thor become an overweight god with eating and drinking, not sure how he getting fat, but my only guess he must had been depressed over his loss (even though it was Chris's another idea for the change), Bruce is permanently turned into Hulk form, though a bit due to his balance of his sides with experimentation for his intelligent and strength, and there's Hawkeye that due to losing his family, he turned into an anti-hero to killing bad guys, though this was based on another character named "Ronin" (despite there's no Ronin in this film, guess we gotta wait for the next saga).
However, before the film's release, they're few other characters in the poster that they're also survived, but barely appeared such as Pepper Potts (played by Gwyneth Paltrow, which it was also her final role of MCU), Okoye (played by Danai Gurira), Wong (played by Benedict Wong), Happy Hogan (played by my favorite actor/producer/director Jon Favreau) and Valkyrie (played by Tessa Thompson), they're basically shown in small appearance for some reasons, talk a bout a waste of potential from their posters.
As for the other heroes died? Well, they'll be back, but we have to wait for a while, and once again, i won't tell how they're resurrected.
And finally there's Thanos (once again, played by Josh Brolin), like i said, i still like this character for his sympathetic figure for what he cared about before changed his life to be a menacing titan to stealing Infinity Stones. Here, at first we though he's still stronger after the snap, but ended being weaken after left alone in his own farm. But current Thanos isn't the main antagonist, its the other Thanos is the real antagonist. But once again, Josh Brolin is still doing a great work of his role.
And lastly that i forgot to mention, is Stan Lee's cameo, this time they made him in digitally de-age of 1970's and it was considered his last cmaeo in cinema history, its a nice tribute for him, rest in peace, old friend...
As i said, the acting are always enjoyable to see with some of our favorite actors over 11 years, especially some are always have fun like Paul Rudd's Scott Lang and some others. Even if some actors who played our favorite characters have a time to say goodbye after the saga, but we still enjoy the characters in MCU, especially some have an upgrade following the Endgame.
And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, Avengers Endgame is probably the best superhero film of 2019, with a story that its not what expected, but pretty good, the presentation is once again awesome for the actions and appearances and the characters are once again, likable. Even its an three hours long film, it could get forever, before the main event, some location are a bit generic that we've seen before and some actions a bit lacking from the first act as i mentioned before. But the movie does have a deja vu with the time traveling sequence and its easily fitting to have a drama for the aftermath of Thanos's snap or even some other moments in this film, like before i got shocked and sad for some moments and even the end, than again, i won't tell more. But, this isn't the final film of the saga, we still have one more film, such as "Spider-Man: Far from home".
If you wanna see the epic finale of the saga of MCU, i highly recommend to watch it, but make sure you eat or drink too much while watching a three hours film.
My rating will be pretty hard, which i wanted to give this one maybe 9, but since this is the final part of the saga with some moment with an epic actions and drama, i decided to going with a perfect 10/10.
So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on KO-FI.com/blackevil.
Thanks for reading, and im Annie, signing out.
