Movies MXDN – What can you say about a film franchise that stretches over a staggering twenty-two movies? How do you even begin to unpack that? It’s impressive enough that something like this was ever even created to begin with, much less successfully thought through. When you think about it, the biggest lapse in continuity throughout all of it was when Don Cheadle replaced Terrance Howard to continue the character of James Rhodes / War Machine. Considering the cast stretched amidst all these movies—and given the fact that people die, sometimes tragically, in the real world—it’s amazing that something as jam-packed as Avengers: Endgame was even ever possible. Any master tactician would have struggled to even think through the logistical nightmare that would have been filming this movie. All the credit in the world is due to the Anthony Russo and Joe Russo duo for bringing this organized insanity into reality. In lesser hands, it would have been a jangled mess of titanic proportions. As it stands after a first viewing, it’s a superhero finale that fans have yearned for, literally for decades. Nothing we’ve seen to this point has rendered a movie this close to what childhood imaginations would envision. It is all things simultaneously: credible, cathartic, hilarious, and poignant.
The difficulty herein lies in trying to review something in which practically every single scene would spoil some piece of a story that has been carefully crafted going all the way back to 2008. There are many twists and turns. Long lost characters return. Places previously visited are seen again. Yes, bad things happen. The stakes are high and nothing this climactic would play out easily. But we can’t tell you much of anything without ruining the experience. If you have come this far and seen some or all of these movies, you owe it to yourself to see this one, to laugh and cry along with these characters you have invested so much in, in this, their greatest and most important battle. What the producers have said is true: damn near every minute of this film is a spoiler. We’ll confine ourselves to what we can say that won’t ruin the magic for everyone that deserves to see it come to fruition in-person.
