I saw Avengers: Endgame yesterday. Holy fuck, that was intense. There was some humour, and some great one-liners, drama, action, adventure, and yes, Virginia, there is a lot of sadness. The final battle was truly epic, in the Homeric sense of the word.
Was it a fitting end to the grand scale narrative of interwoven stories that started with Iron Man in 2008? Fuck yes, it was. Oddly (or ironically), Endgame also redeemed some of the less-than stellar efforts (I'm looking at you Dark World and Age of Ultron), giving them back their place in cannon that a lot of us fans would rather leave out.
Is it worth seeing on the big screen? Yes, it is. Will it make you cry? Depends on you, really. I got teary-eyed a couple of times. Is the 3 hour runtime on the insane side? Fuck yes, it is. But there are good places to pee (all conveniently listed here), and you really don't want to miss anything in the last hour.
