Avengers: Review of the finals – is it good? Discussion on the aftermath of Infinity War, Iron Man dies, Captain America dies, what's going on in Avengers Endgame

★★★★

How do you follow the event of pop culture of the decade?

This is the question that Avengers: Endgame has faced as a result of the immense success of its predecessor Infinity War, while its own story, its enormous work (despite the efforts of Thanos) and an incredibly twisted continuity after more ten years of superhero movies.

Endgame is extremely ambitious, ridiculous and ridiculous, and I love it. And this elusive answer? In the end, you decide NOT to follow anything, because despite its close connection to Avengers: Infinity War (originally, the movie was titled Infinity War, Part 2), the final extremely entertaining is a film of a different kind.

Not completely different, of course – it resumes more or less exactly where the first movie stopped, presents a considerable number of the same actors and presents some key scenes that echo those of the previous film – but as artifact , Endgame is a more elaborate and complicated coda of the previous movie.

He realizes this separation partly by refocusing on characters totally absent or poorly served in Infinity War – after which its absence was noted in Infinity War, all The first character we see this time is Jerkey Renner's Hawkeye – and partly thanks to his more episodic scenario, which begins with the Avengers' attempts to defeat the actions of Thanos (Josh Broli n) but then moving away in very strange directions, before pulling together for a final confrontation that weighs down CGI's budget.

And it is here that we encounter problems. As always, it is difficult to discuss this film without discussing elements of the plot that some might consider inaccessible, and it is certainly a film that we appreciate without too much of prior knowledge.

However, I think It's fair to say that an encyclopedic knowledge of Marvel films will be useful for watching Endgame, if not absolutely indispensable.

At a minimum, you will definitely need to have seen Infinity War, but the first film of the Avengers, Guardians of The Galaxy and even Thor: The Dark World have a considerable influence on the challenges our heroes are facing this times, and the emotional beat of the last 45 minutes or so, is even more striking if you know 11 years, 11 years. badembly of the franchise.

Sometimes Endgame surprises you with this unique multi-film legacy, stuffing its cast with surprise cameos, reminders, new takes of old scenes and reminders of what was before, but ultimately it's hard blame him for his tapestry of influence.

What other movie franchise has achieved this accumulation of tales, characters and ongoing conflicts similar to that of a TV? And why would not they show this after so many other extended universe franchises crashed and burned – especially when it's so entertaining?
