Review of Avengers: Endgame (2019) by Saintandrewsfal — 25 Apr 2019

This movie has 4 mentionable issues, two small and two big, but overall it's a fun, entertaining, exciting, surprising at times, and emotional. Small issue #1. The Captain America Vs. Captain America fight could have easily been prevented by future Cap saying something only Cap would know.

There's a better way to do that scene. Fight first then future Cap states only something Cap would know, ending the fight. Small issue #2: Pacing of the first act. At 3 hours, the movie mostly moves at a nice pace, but there was a bit of lag at the end of the first act.

Big (and biggest) issue #1: Thanos finds out about the plan because past Nebula is on the same "network" as future Nebula?!?!? Future Nebula would know that might be a risk and/or would tell that they were reading her memories when she got to the past.

That's really lazy writing and it the main plot point of brining Thanos into the fight. A better way to do that is have either future Nebula infiltrate Thanos and get caught or Thanos intercepts the future Avenergs messages and is concerned enough to investigate and ends up catpuring future Nebula.

Big issue #2: The ending with Cap on the bench and Bucky and Falcon watching him. In this scene, if there's one person who's going to approach Cap it's Bucky or both of them, but not Flacon. I mean they even made a whole movie about Bucky, not Falcon.

Secondly, if Bucky would have went over there, would Cap have given HIM the shield or told Bucky to send Falcon over? (I'm cool with Falcon being Cap BTW). That's just for starters. The team throughout the movie were trying to prevent messing up the timeline by changing events, but Cap does just that.

He goes back and marries Peggy preventing her from marrying her original husband and having her original kids (from Cap: TFA). This is a huge time ripple. In short, because there's so much awesome, funny, and exciting moments, it raises up an structurally 6/10 film to an 8.
