Please note- Do not read the review any further if you are
yet to watch the movie. It will spoil your fun.
The movie is of two halves. This is a perfect sum up of what
to expect from it. While the first half is pretty laid back, fun, unexpected,
informal; it lays the foundation of the second half and it does so quite
splendidly. The opening shot shows how Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) goes through the
traumatic event of losing his family and eventually end up as Ronin, a lethal
killing machine hell bent of killing bad people. The movie then unfolds rather
nonchalantly as we delve deeper into the theories of the quantum realm and time
travel. As predicted, Captain Marvel rescues Iron Man from deep space. We also
see a very early end to Thanos, which makes us question the events that will
place ahead in the movie. A very surprised Ant-Man is rescued by a very
unlikely guest! And he arrives with a plan (a pretty absurd sounding one at
first). The plan is to make use of the quantum realm as a mode of travelling
through time to attain the infinity stones.
The Avengers are pretty successful in getting the stones
back (the same could not be said of Black Widow), but while getting the stones
back, they also bring Thanos back with them. This causes a whole lot of trouble
for them. Hulk plays the role of God as he brings everyone back to life. There
is a huge showdown between the Avengers and Thanos and his minions. Each and
every member had to play a pivotal role in this hodgepodge of heroes and
villains and the frantic chase for the infinity gauntlet. One man plays the
most important role of them all, Tony Stark aka Iron Man. His sacrifice saves
the entire universe. This was the only way that it could have happened and
Doctor Strange had seen the end. The movie ends with bitter-sweet memories that
moisten the eyes of even the sternest of fans.
The Russo Brothers have given a fitting farewell to the
Avengers and to the fans. They have delivered what was expected of them and
more. This movie was almost the perfect movie. Why I have mentioned this is
because of the fact that there are some points that can be brought up. Like
Thor’s portrayal in the movie, Captain Marvel’s limited role, the
ridiculousness of the time travel shenanigans and people wanting more screen
time for their favourite characters (guess they would have to wait for the
individual films to release). But hey! When watching a superhero movie, you
should think like a superhero. The above points are not meant to denounce the
beauty of the film; they are merely a fan’s view on what he/she could have
expected more from the film.
The first half of the Endgame is something that you may
never have seen in a Marvel movie. It is so nonchalant and unique that you
would at times forget that it’s a superhero movie. But it plays a perfect role
in laying the groundwork for the second half. And the second half was
everything that a fan expected from it. The movie was so well done that even if
a person is seeing a Marvel movie for the first time, he/she would be able to
relate to it. The visual and sound effects were so good that you would never
have given a thought to it. That’s the example of a job done perfectly. ‘Love You
3000’; this dialogue sets the tone of the entire movie.
This is the greatest tribute that the Avengers could have
received. This movie is a masterpiece and it gives the perfect ending to the
end.
