#AVENGERS ENDGAME REAL OR FAKE 4K FULL#
The Russos permit adequate breathing room for scenes to sink in and reach their full dramatic potential, rather than rushing through each plot point to reach the next action set-piece. Despite an intimidating three-hour runtime, Endgame does not feel gratuitously stretched out, especially considering the number of bases that the script needed to cover in terms of story threads and character relationships from the previous 21 movies. The time-travelling conceit allows Markus and McFeely to fundamentally create a glorified clip show, as the remaining heroes split up to revisit memorable moments from earlier adventures (specifically The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Thor: The Dark World) to gather the Infinity Stones before Thanos. Indeed, it has been a treat to witness Downey add layer upon layer to Tony with each new movie. Downey also deserves a mention - he is still the star of the show, and this is possibly his best work in the increasingly demanding MCU to date. One of the real acting standouts is Gillan as Nebula, who winds up with a surprisingly significant role in the proceedings, and carries several difficult scenes. The Russos proficiently navigate the tricky tonal changes, and never let a moment of bad acting slip through the cracks. But despite the story's sobering nature it's not all doom and gloom, as unforced humour livens the proceedings from time to time, providing levity and humanity. Endgame even commences with a heartbreaking, chilling opening scene which sets the tone and gives Renner the opportunity to flex his dramatic chops. The ensemble cast handles some of the meatiest dramatic material in this franchise to date, with note-perfect performances across the board selling the heroes' fallibility and vulnerability, which makes the characters feel real, relatable, and lived-in. Rather than solely concentrating on action set-pieces, the screenplay explores the emotion and psychology of the central heroes, who are haunted by their failure and believe that they let the universe down.
#AVENGERS ENDGAME REAL OR FAKE 4K SERIES#
Whereas Infinity War fundamentally amounted to a series of hard-hitting action sequences, Endgame pumps the breaks to reveal the profound drama and trauma resulting from The Snap. Joining the team is Bruce Banner ( Mark Ruffalo), Thor ( Chris Hemsworth), Nebula ( Karen Gillan), James Rhodes ( Don Cheadle), and Rocket, while Clint Barton/Hawkeye ( Jeremy Renner) also returns to the fight.įor a franchise not often taken seriously by snooty cinephiles, the dramatic heft of Endgame is tremendous, further verifying that Marvel movies are not strictly for children. They bring the idea to Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr.), who is no longer Iron Man and instead lives in familial bliss with Pepper Potts ( Gwyneth Paltrow) and his daughter Morgan ( Lexi Rabe). When Scott Lang/Ant-Man ( Paul Rudd) returns from the quantum realm he comes to the belief that time travel is theoretically possible, turning to the Avengers for assistance to mount a "time heist" and make things right. Steve Rogers/Captain America ( Chris Evans) and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson) still reside at Avengers HQ, liaising with the likes of Rocket ( Bradley Cooper) and Captain Marvel ( Brie Larson) as they hold out hope that their lost friends can be brought back from the dead. Five years elapse, and the world is not the same, with the Earth's population struggling to move on.
Reeling from their defeat, but unable to accept it, the surviving Avengers promptly mount a mission to reverse The Snap, only to find that Thanos' work can no longer be undone. Although armed with a behemoth 182-minute running time, Endgame never feels meandering or overlong, as it carries an incredible brevity thanks to impeccable writing, direction, and editing.Īt the end of Avengers: Infinity War, the Mad Titan Thanos ( Josh Brolin) succeeded in his pursuit to collect all six Infinity Stones and eliminate half of all life in the universe with one snap of his fingers. Particularly for longstanding MCU fans who have been on-board since Iron Man back in 2008, Avengers: Endgame is an honest-to-goodness cinematic gift an enormously satisfying three-hour love letter that will make you laugh, cry, and stamp your feet in giddy exhilaration. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo return to the fray, working from a screenplay by long-time MCU veterans Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (who first scripted 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger). 2019's Avengers: Endgame is the second half of the epic concluding chapter of the comic book franchise so far, following on from 2018's Avengers: Infinity War which ended with a traumatic cliffhanger. Since the beginning of the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008 it has all been leading to this.
