US fantasy film about a team of superheroes.
A victory lap that moonwalks through the best part of the MCU back catalogue and emphasises emotion as much as action, this is an intensely satisfying piece of blockbuster filmmaking.
For all its ingenuity, the film sometimes feels like a roll call in which every figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is mentioned or seen at least once. Nonetheless, this is a movie that dazzles you with its spectacle, provides plenty of irreverent slapstick and gags along the way and yet still ends with a huge emotional kick.
The climactic movie in the Avengers series is an irresistible blend of action and comedy, guaranteeing a sugar rush of delirious enjoyment of its many pleasures.
Not quite as good as Infinity War, but wears its three-hour running time with ease and rewards the fans. Part of the journey is the end, and this goes out with a bang that’ll make you whimper.
Marvel's surviving superheroes go into round two with Josh Brolin's Thanos for a three-hour epic sendoff to this era of the Avengers saga, and the results are both surprising and satisfying.
A potent reminder of all that’s good and bad about movies.
Endgame bucks Marvel's emphasis on soap-opera serialisation by granting some arcs a bold, even poignant sense of closure. When the climax drops, it won't just be dust in MCU-watchers' eyes.
