       Avengers: Endgame was THE movie I have been waiting to see for
       however long it's been since the conclusion of Infinity War. The
       amount of hype and expectations was at an all time high. I try
       to keep everything even keel because if I don't, I'm setting
       myself for a huge disappointment (*see Game of Thrones Series
       Finale*) for the most recent letdown. I was legit concerned
       going into Endgame that there could be a few missteps along the
       way. I'm happy to say that Endgame delivered in more ways an
       one.
       Before I go any further, I do have to say that Endgame more or
       less 'Jumped the Shark' with the crutch of Time Travel. But this
       wasn't all that surprising. I saw it come. We all saw it coming
       at the conclusion of Infinity War. It's the only way to bring
       everyone back. Well, most everyone. Okay. Moving on. With Time
       Travel the big plot point for the movie, it offers a wealth of
       comedic scenes to play out. First off, all the Time Travel
       references here were fantastic with Terminator, Hot Tub Time
       Machine and of course Back to the Future getting shout-outs
       (along with a host of other films in the genre). But the biggest
       twist on this was being able to go back in time to specific
       dates (that line up with Marvels biggest MCU movies) and filming
       additional scenes that we NEVER got to see in the original
       films. These were fantastic and more than that, insanely funny.
       Seeing Banner/Hulk watching himself in the first Avengers movie
       was f*cking hilarious. Especially feigning boredom of having to
       act like "Hulk" and wreck things so as to blend in.
       Speaking of Hulk. We've come all the way from 'Hulk Smash' to
       basically talking as Banner throughout the entire flick as Hulk.
       I was just amazed at how good the CGI was in blending both Mark
       Ruffalo and Hulk as one. So with the gang hopping around in
       time, trying to retrieve the Infinity Stones, which in itself
       were like mini Heist Flicks, it all leads to the inevitable
       showdown between the Original Avengers and Thanos. The ensuing
       fight move than delivered here as well. When Captain America
       wields Thor's Hammer, it was literally the best, most thrilling
       thing in a sea of thrilling moments.
       When those that perished in Infinity War return to stand
       alongside of the Avengers, you are clearly witnessing a
       monumental moment in Cinema. The best of course was seeing
       Spider-Man/Peter Parker return and to see the look on Tony's
       face, the guilt that has consumed him for 5 years just drift
       away in a matter of seconds as they embrace. Speaking of Tony,
       when Tony Stark, with Infinity Gauntlet in in hand, snaps and
       does away with all things Thanos, it was electric. But it comes
       at a price as his body can't handle that kind of power and he
       pays the ultimate price. There are many movies that can make me
       tear up. This one did.
       I'm still processing the movie as I watched it late last night.
       Some things are still fresh in my mind, while other's not so
       much as I'm trying to place all the puzzle pieces from all the
       MCU movies. Loved the End Credits which was a 'Call to Action'
       send off of the majority of Big and Small characters in
       practically all the MCU flicks. It was perfect. Loved Stan Lee's
       cameo as well. All in all, Endgame delivers and is one of the
       greatest Super Hero movies of all time. I gave both this one and
       Infinity War 10 Stars, but I will say that Infinity War is
       slightly "better" for different reasons. This is definitely
       worth a Buy.
