Avengers: Endgame - 復仇者聯盟:終局之戰



Avengers: Endgame (復仇者聯盟:終局之戰) is an 2019 movie. The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner as the original six Avengers. The other cast members include Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Danai Gurira, Bradley Cooper, and Josh Brolin. This is the 22nd film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The is the 4th Avengers film and a direct sequel to Avengers: Infinity War (復仇者聯盟:無限之戰).



In the aftermath of the Snap, Tony and Nebula are trapped in space, but make it back to earth. On earth, it is confirmed that 50% of life has ended around the universe. Captain Marvel returns to earth to help. Ant-man makes it back out of the Quantum realm to join in the fight. There, they join forces with the rest of the survivors. Their plan is to re-claim the stones to undo what Thanos did. And that's as much from the trailers that we can reveal now. The rest would be spoilers



After 22 films. Seriously, 22 films, this is the finale. The one that sets the tone for the MCU going forward. And does it ever. If you're reading this beyond April 2019, you'll think it silly of all the fan theories out there and that none of them were even close to 25% correct. Elements were there, but the story took so many turns that unless you had the script, you wouldn't have known.



I am writing this within a couple of hours of coming home from the movie, so my mind is still trying to process. I think a 2nd and 3rd viewing will allow me to put the story aside and just enjoy the majesty of the most epic MCU ever.



This is an epic film by all accounts and it plays to the strengths of all the survivors and sets up the next phase of the MCU. What the MCU has done is unprecedented in connecting together 22 films and making sense of most of it. This 22nd one takes the cake and you'll be happy that you took the time to enjoy the MCU ride.



I saw it on IMAX it was spectacular. If you want to enjoy it, do it in IMAX. It was the midnight showings or pre-release day previews. This movie will have a huge box office opening. The 3 hours actually seems fast. I wanted more after. I wanted it to continue.



The movie has the most comedy of the ensemble casts films and you'll be laughing and crying at the same time.



So, what's next now? With Disney+ in the mix and the inclusion of the Fox, the future of the MCU seems so up in the air. I for one will be happily following along.
