Avengers: Endgame
1 Oscar Nominations
Rent/Purchase
After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War, the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.
What critics thought
A broadly celebrated but not universally adored conclusion to Marvel's Infinity Saga, Endgame lands hardest as a character study and fan reward rather than as pure spectacle — most critics found the emotional payoff genuine, though a vocal minority considered it bloated and visually undistinguished. The film's willingness to slow down and spend time with its characters before the inevitable chaos is both its most praised quality and, for skeptics, the source of its self-indulgence.
“Endgame is a monument to adequacy, a fitting capstone to an enterprise that figured out how to be good enough for enough people enough of the time.”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“The Russos have peculiarly little sense of visual pleasure, little sense of beauty, little sense of metaphor, little aptitude for texture or composition; their spectacular conceit is purely one of scale, which is why their finest moments are quiet and dramatic ones”
Richard Brody·The New Yorker
“The one thing you do need to know about Avengers: Endgame is that it runs for a little over three hours, and that you can easily duck out during the middle hour, do some shopping, and slip back into your seat for the climax. You won't have missed a thing.”
Anthony Lane·The New Yorker
“[W]hat comes across most strongly here, oddly enough for an effects-driven comic-book-derived film, is the character acting, especially from Downey, Ruffalo, Evans, Hemsworth, Brolin, and Paul Rudd”
Todd McCarthy·The Hollywood Reporter
“Avengers: Endgame achieves and earns its climactic surge of feeling, even as it falls just short of real catharsis”
