Avengers: Endgame First Reviews: Best Marvel Movie Ever, Say Some

The first reviews of marvel's superhero extravaganza say it fulfills a decade's worth of promises with wit, heart, and action like we've never seen before..

TAGGED AS: MCU , Superheroes

The initial reactions to Avengers: Endgame following the first screenings were extremely positive. But now critics have had time to process what they saw, and well, they’re still mostly raving about the 22nd entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — it’s currently Certified Fresh at 97%. Of course, there are some quibbles here and there, mainly about the length. Also, the long-form responses to the Avengers: Infinity War follow-up have some extra thoughts to share regarding Endgame ’s best moments, as well as the movie’s MVP. Basically, just icing on the cake to get you even more hyped for this thing.

Here’s what the critics are saying about Avengers: Endgame :

How does it compare to Avengers: Infinity War ?

Endgame is a different type of film than Infinity War … there are actually moments of calm, where the audience can catch its breath. – Charles Barfield, The Playlist

Infinity War floundered, it seems, so  Endgame  could soar. – Angie Han, Mashable

Where  Infinity War  had trouble finding time for characters,  Endgame  is about nothing but character work. –  Susana Polo, Polygon

The Russo Brothers were able to best themselves yet again. – Dorian Parks, Geeks of Color

There’s something considerably less elegant to the storytelling this time around. – Peter Debruge, Variety

Is it the best Marvel movie yet?

Avengers: Endgame  is everything you’ve ever dreamed a Marvel movie could be…You will not be let down. –  Germain Lussier, io9

One of the most ambitious, entertaining, emotional, and stunning blockbusters we’ve ever seen, and the best film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon thus far. –  Eric Eisenberg, Cinema Blend

Avengers: Endgame is not the best Marvel movie ever made…But it is the most  Marvel  movie ever made, and there’s something incredible about that. – Angie Han, Mashable

Avengers: Endgame is the most “Marvel” movie in Marvel Cinematic Universe history. – Charles Barfield, The Playlist

Avengers: Endgame  is, without a doubt, the most confusing and convoluted of any of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, yet it’s also unbelievably satisfying. – Mike Ryan, Uproxx

Avengers: Endgame  is now my favorite MCU movie and is probably my favorite comic book movie to date. – Dorian Parks, Geeks of Color

It’s not the best of anything in terms of the Marvel franchise… Avengers: Endgame is a merely okay MCU movie. – Scott Mendelson, Forbes

Should we be surprised at this?

Whatever you think  Endgame  will be, it will still confound and amaze and thrill you in ways that is hard to imagine. –  Mark Daniell, Toronto Sun

One of the nicest surprises of  Endgame  is how fun it is… So much so that the three-hour run time seems to fly by. – Angie Han, Mashable

There are things in  Endgame  you never could have guessed would come back to light, but they do, and it’s  glorious . – Germain Lussier, io9

Endgame  is truly a masterful piece of storytelling, which both goes exactly where you expect it to, and not at all. – Anne Cohen, Refinery29

How busy is the movie?

The Russos juggle the tones with balletic finesse. –  Eric Kohn, IndieWire

The film is sometimes juggling five or six stories simultaneously, but the Russos and their editors never let the audience get too far from one or the other. – Germain Lussier, io9

It’s strangely sentimental for a movie that features the biggest all-out superhero fight I can ever remember seeing. –  Mike Ryan, Uproxx

How is the action?

The fight scenes that do take place are epic… seeing the epic battle in the third act makes the last decade worth it. –  Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies

The action sequences were choreographed and shot so beautifully. Without spoiling anything, you will need to be prepared for the third act. – Dorian Parks, Geeks of Color

Are we going to cr y ?

As emotionally affecting as any Marvel movie has ever been… a genuinely moving drama. –  Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

Endgame  focuses on the original Avengers…it’s immensely gratifying and emotional to see them struggle on a plethora of levels. – Germain Lussier, io9

How satisf y ing is it as a finale?

Endgame  does pull off the feat of feeling remarkably like a finale, and even the most casual fan may feel the emotional tug of those moments. –  Don Kaye, Den of Geek

As a Part 2, Endgame is a hugely successful ending to a story that began a year ago but truly dates back a decade. – Charles Barfield, The Playlist

[It’s] a moment to stop and look back in amazement (or terror) at what the MCU has pulled off… Endgame  is Marvel’s crowning achievement. – Angie Han, Mashable

How lost will we be if we haven’t seen all 21 previous movies?

There’s no shaking the fact that Endgame is very much a Part 2 (or Part 22, honestly)…  not  for MCU newbies… casual fans need not apply… If you’re not someone that knows every character by name, you’re in for a confusing three-hour film. – Charles Barfield, The Playlist

My daughter hasn’t seen very many of these and only had a few in-movie questions… it works on its own terms and unquestionably sticks the landing. – Scott Mendelson, Forbes

This is a film designed for fans… Newcomers will likely find themselves totally lost in this tangle of characters and relationships and mythologies. – Angie Han, Mashable

It does feel like a wonderful gift to all those who have spent the last decade-plus emotionally engaging with the lives and adventures of these characters. – Eric Eisenberg, Cinema Blend

Can  y ou give me some comparative context?

Newcomers to the series may as well be watching a Transformers movie. – Eric Kohn, IndieWire

While there is a big third-act action sequence, it’s (despite some grand fan service) closer in structure and visuals to  Ready Player One  than  The Two Towers . – Scott Mendelson, Forbes

Avengers: Endgame  feels like the last scene of  Titanic with everyone back on the ship, applauding. And, you know what? I’m okay with that. – Mike Ryan, Uproxx

Who is the movie’s MVP ?

From a performance standpoint, Chris Hemsworth, for the second film in a row, delivers the best outing of the large ensemble. – Clayton Davis, AwardsCircuit.com

Hemsworth especially has quickly become, due to  Thor: Ragnarok  and the last two of these  Avengers  flicks, a subtle MVP of the franchise. – Scott Mendelson, Forbes

Hemsworth has inexplicably become the MVP of this franchise, able to balance big, broad comedy with soul-searching pathos. – Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm

Are there any big criticisms?

Its biggest fault, however nitpicky, is that it doesn’t really confront or advance any of the big philosophical questions that have been running through the saga from the beginning. – Scott Mendelson, Forbes

I feel that Marvel’s secret weapon [Captain Marvel] is underused. – Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies

Has a sitcom episode like feel to it that is reminiscent of a ‘clip show’ – where the viewers get excerpts and highlights from previous episodes of the series. – Clayton Davis, AwardsCircuit.com

Will there ever be anything like this movie again?

One can only hope that the next 10 years of Marvel storytelling — which will feature new heroes and villains — comes close to this. – Mark Daniell, Toronto Sun

Avengers: Endgame   opens everywhere on April 26.

7 Reasons Why “Avengers: Endgame” Is The Best Marvel Film

“We’re in the end game now,” words which echoed in the ears of Marvel fans for months. This was it, not only was Endgame due to be one of the biggest films of all time, it marked a monumental occasion for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We had been building up to this moment ever since the release of Iron Man in 2008 and now the first three phases of the MCU were almost at their conclusion.

With twenty-one other films to choose from, the MCU has its share of great films – Infinity War was incredible, Guardians of the Galaxy is hilarious and Black Panther was even nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award, to just name a few.

No one can deny that the MCU boasts some awesome films, and everyone has their favourite. What makes an MCU movie good? What makes an MCU movie someone’s favourite over the other films? Of course, like all film, this is subjective. But Endgame certainly deserves to be considered as one of the MCU’s best for many reasons.

Note – there are major spoilers throughout, but let’s be honest – if you haven’t seen Endgame by now then you probably deserve to have it spoiled.

1. It does its characters justice

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us a plethora of great, quirky and three-dimensional characters. Everyone has their favourite, whether you are Team Iron Man or Team Cap, a fan of the Guardians or all about Ant-Man – audiences have come to be fully invested in these characters. As such, it was important for Endgame to not only be true to the characters, but to make sure that their stories were brought to an end in a way that was fitting.

Before Endgame was released, there was a lot of speculation about what would happen to the characters and in particular there was a lot of speculation about who would survive and who wouldn’t. In the end, many of the characters had survived and were reunited with their family and friends to fight on another day.

Three characters fates took on a slightly different path. Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff lost their lives in the fight against Thanos, and Steve Rogers decided to go back and live in the past to live out his life with Peggy Carter.

Tony and Natasha’s deaths, though sad, did make complete sense within their character arcs. Tony, who had always felt like the father of the MCU, went through a classic redemption arc. He began as a cocky, ego centric and self-interested character. Though he fought for good, it wasn’t always clear cut that he would make the ultimate sacrifice if it came down to it.

As each film passed, he became more and more honourable and less and less selfish. He became a mentor to Peter and eventually an actual father to Morgan. So, it felt like the perfect bittersweet move that he would be the one that saved everyone. If Steve, like so many had believed would happen, had been the one to die saving everyone – then yes it would have made perfect sense for his character. But that was too obvious, too clear cut.

Steve has always been the hero, the epitome of a true superhero and so giving him his happy ending felt so well deserved. When it comes to Natasha, her character was always so loyal, and she was able to be tough and make the hard choices in a way that no one else could. Dying for the only family she’d ever known only went to prove further what an incredible badass she was. Just like we’d always known.

2. It has the perfect balance of action and emotion

Coming off the intense, action filled scenes of Infinity War, it would have been easy to think that Endgame would either be the same or would go too far the other way and be full of overly emotional and downcast scenes. But Endgame successfully managed to find a balance between the two, providing audiences with some awesome battles and action sequences but also delivering some real emotional gut punches. Not only that, but we also had the touches of humour that the MCU has come to be known for.

The best example of this perfect balance between action and emotion was arguably demonstrated in the final battle scene and then Tony’s funeral scene. If you look at both of these scenes side by side, they have poignant similarities. Both scenes feature the ensemble of characters coming together in a momentous moment, both scenes feature moments which will be quoted as defining moments of the MCU and both scenes evoke big reactions from the audience.

The battle scene is a fast-paced blur of action, fighting and awesome sequences of the characters using all their weapons and skills at their disposal. We see Thor, Captain America and Iron Man triple team Thanos, we see Spider-Man catch a ride with Valkyrie and Ant-Man punch a spaceship out of the sky, amongst many other things.

After that scene, which is filled with so many things to draw our eye and almost too much to take in, we have the complete opposite. Tony’s funeral is a deeply moving scene, it is slow-paced and calm. Now the audience can let the action sink in, and the emotion comes pouring through. Not many films can pull off such a great balance of tones, in a way that makes the film non jarring and watchable for the audience.

3. It’s the ultimate payoff to the previous films

After three phases and twenty-one previous films, the MCU has given us dozens of brilliant, jaw dropping and awe-inspiring moments. It has built a cinematic universe and a saga of individual stories, all of which have been playing into one overall story arc – the Infinity Stones.

When you have a momentous and long build up to something, then when it reaches its concluding part – expectations are really high, and the pressure is really on. Endgame had to simultaneously satisfy and achieve several things. Not only did it have to deliver an amazing film, it also had to conclude the story of the Infinity Stones and all the other character arcs that were due to close with this film.

If it could do this then it would be the ultimate payoff to all that came before it, and the ultimate payoff to the audience that had invested so much time and energy into it. And arguably, it did that and more, showing audiences that their time had been well spent and invested. It also brought several stories to a close in a satisfying way and left audiences eager to see what new stories the MCU would introduce with its next phase.

Personally i think some other films in the MCU are better, such us Winter Soldier, Ragnarok, Infinity War and Avengers 2012.

I agree 100% and I would add Guardians 1

I don’t know if I would say it’s the best film of the MCU!!!! so far as we have one more film of the Infinity Saga coming in Spider-Man: Far from Home but I would be seriously pissed off if the film doesn’t get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture because it did a hell of a lot more than what I would usually expect from a superhero blockbuster action-adventure film.

disagree Infinity war is way better than Endgame in every aspect…you like it `cause they won that`s all!!!

Yessss forgot about that one! It was great!

Man, I get really tired of seeing MCU articles written by people who don’t ever know proper grammar…

Three hours of tying up loose ends from a bunch of other movies doesn’t make this bloated and boring piece of trash the best marvel film. You are happy when it’s over not because it’s a satisfying conclusion, you are happy because the boredom ends. How does this guy write for this blog?

The Avengers Movie Essay

I think this is that rare case when a long entry is not needed at all. Since everybody already knows about the existence of the Avengers movie and many have already seen it. That, honestly, is not even surprising. When going to the cinema I was hoping to see a luxurious blockbuster, but somewhere after the first half of the movie, I realized that my expectations were exceeded significantly. To be honest, at the beginning, the appointment of Joss Whedon as the director confused me. Joss was more known in tv series and had no experience in this kind of work. That’s maybe just based on the effect of novelty, Joss shot perhaps the most entertaining movie about the super heroes on such a level of spectacularity that all those done before, even the last Transformers seem not to bright against it.

The Avengers movie tells the story about the universal evil that wants to get hold of Tesseract — an inexhaustible power source to conquer new worlds. Behind all of these, a dear son of the god Odin, Lokki, which has long been eager to enslave the Earth, to hurt his brother Thor, who has there something to lose. At the same time the head of a top-secret anti-terrorist organization, Nick Fury assembles a team of the best heroes the Earth ever knew and including super-soldier Captain America, demigod Thor, extravagant billionaire and inventor Tony Stark, known as iron man, a huge green monster Hulk and a couple of first-rate killers with impressive nicknames: the Black Widow and Hawkeye.

If you look at some of the previous work of the Marvel Films, it becomes clear that Avengers was conceived well before writing the script. As recently there was a movie or two about each of the presented personages: Captain America: The First Avenger, the animated series about Hawkeye, two films about Tony Stark and his alter ego, and even a Thor movie, released just a year ago. There was not only the movie about Black Widow.

If you was waiting for a deep and complex story, you was waiting for a wrong movie, because the greatness of it is in massive battles, cool superhero atmosphere, spectacular special effects, character interaction, a nice touch of humor and unparalleled actress Scarlett Johansson, performing the role of the Black Widow. It’s all there and on the highest level. In addition, despite the fact that the movie is over two hours long, they are gone with wink and you still want more. The only thing that could confuse you a little at first is a new actor playing the Hulk. I think many would prefer to see in the role Edward Norton or Eric Bana.

The Avengers is a really cool movie, from which you can get a lot of pleasure and considerable positive charge.
