The fourth instalment of the Avengers series is the once-in-a-lifetime culmination of 22 interconnected films and the climax of an epic journey. Earth’s heroes will finally understand how fragile our reality is – and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it – in a story of friendship, teamwork and setting aside differences to overcome an impossible obstacle.

Though not outright admiration, Endgame does at least deserve sincere recognition for how the creators managed to link the more than twenty films of the Marvel Universe so far, developing motifs from pretty much every one of them, but still holding things together somehow. And also because, even though the result was clear in advance (that end of Infinity War would be reversed), the way there managed to surprise more than once. The time travel scenes are really quite original. On the other hand, the effort to show at least for a moment almost every single character that’s had screen time in the ten-year history of the Marvel movies ended up hurting it. I felt it was way too overcrowded (both in the number of characters, as well as in the motifs, styles and moods), and I wasn’t able to fully focus and immerse myself in it. It also carries on with the typical problem of the Avengers films, the lack of a face of their own (which doesn’t apply to the solo outfits). It’s simply aesthetically uninteresting. I’m also giving it a 7/10, and the lower rating is because of what they did with Thor. That wasn’t humour, that was pure cringe.

For the first time, Marvel has made a solid comic book drama with existential overtones instead of a flat CGI fest about the destruction of the world, and everyone's completely stoked. Easily watchable, character-driven, with a delightfully sentimental finale. The catharsis of Captain America's character outweighs the others, though it's hard to say whether intentionally or not, while the time travel with all its paradoxes – equals an annoying pile of bullshit, as usual.

Avengers assemble! A crushing beginning, a pile of iconic moments, where whispers of disbelief mixed with deafening silence spread through the cinema, three movies in one, the best performances in eleven years (Robert Downey, Jr., Jeremy Renner), and a phenomenal conclusion that defies even the most daring expectations. In a way, three hours is too little, because those three hours are so full of glory that even a few days after the screening, I am still only retrospectively recalling fascinating scenes that were cautiously concealed under my first impressions. Definitely the movie of the year and, in terms of its pop culture impact, also a well-deserved, undeniable, extremely moving, and – precisely due to the intimacy of individual interactions – the unrivalled event of the decade.

Years ago, Marvel films were all the same for me. It is unbelievable how much the whole Marvel universe evolved, and I’ve gradually grown fond of even the characters I originally disliked. The climax came with this installment of Avengers, which I consider worthy of the walk of fame for films in Hollywood Boulevard. This is the ultimate filmmaking epic. For ten years the American filmmakers shower you with comic-book-based movies, just so everything connects into one endlessly awesome final battle against Thanos, probably the scariest adversary of comic book heroes ever. His goal is not to create evil, but to establish neutrality and the worst thing is that he has some solid arguments and fully believes in them. I had so much respect for this guy. I have also enjoyed the three hours long experience that had a good premise and message, entertained me and most of all, it gave enough space to every hero, which deserves applause. To put together all of this must have taken an enormous amount of work and I am happy I can award it today with the ultimate five stars. I could try to find some faults with it, but why would I do it? It was awesome!

There is no doubt about the fact that the realization possibilities of a Hollywood blockbuster are at their peak. An expertly crafted ride that has no time to hesitate or fumble. But it lacked emotionally for me more than I was willing to admit at first. The anticipation of Thanos' uncompromising body count disappears at the snap of a finger, and where others had tears rolling down their faces, I just sat nervously. In that spectacular wringer of emotions, I actually enjoyed one very unexpected emotion when the two grown men just chat on the way to the car. The rest passed me by. Kevin Feige will be taught about someday. Hats off to him.
