The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, “Avengers: Endgame.”

The end of the Infinity Saga but not the MCU! (Non-spoiler review)
It had been a decade and 22 films in the making and does not fail to deliver an epic conclusion to one of the biggest sagas in movie history.The movie starts by picking up 5 years after the events of Infinity War where the remaining members of the Avengers are broken, defeated depressed and hopeless. Whilst some try to find ways to move on, others struggle to function.The movie explores a lot of dark themes such as mental health, depression, anger etc, with they occasional humour added for good measure.It shows that some people sometimes need to look back in order to move forward and there is a lot of character development where you see some of the regular Marvel Ciematic Universe (MCU) characters in ways you've never seen them before.The performances are strong from all characters and somehow despite the roster of superheroes in this movie, they all seem to get a respectable amount of screen time.Endgame doesn't have as many action sequences as Infinity War but focuses more on story telling. However, there are some excellent action sequences along with flawless visual effects that make the wait worth while.If you have seen the previous MCU movies prior to Endgame, this is a must. If you haven't, then I would recommend watching the others first.Although some may argue that Infinity War was a better movie overall, I have to admit there is one particular scene in Endgame that no other movie have ever been able to achieve and very unlikely to do so in the future. It is probably one of the most epic scenes in movie history and worth waiting 22 movies for.Overall the last 2 Avengers movies would seem impossible to make on paper but somehow the Russo brothers have pulled it off. There are a few things I would have liked to be different in Endgame but cannot say as this is a Non-spoiler review but nonetheless, it is a very good film and a worthy conclusion to the Infinity Saga which has been hinted since the beginning of the the MCU.

CAN THE SURVIVING AVENGERS CHANGE PAST EVENTS ?
The film smashing all box-office records in terms of income, Avatar slipping into second place, Titanic third.Would be interesting if a count of bums on seats when each of the films including The Sound Of Music was available for comparison....obviously blockbusters such as these including Endgame released at very different times.As I am no longer able to go to the cinema to watch the films as I once did, I have been looking forward to this one, especially after the brilliant Infinity Wars.In this, we see Iron Man(Robert Downey Jr)and Nebula (Karen Gillan) who have been stranded in deep space since the battle several days ago, saved by prospective Avengers new recruit Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)The surviving Avengers join forces with Captain Marvel to recover the stones from Thanos (Josh Brolin) who claims to have destroyed them.Five years pass, the remaining Avengers now a shadow of what they once were continue to mourn the loss of so many friends and fellow heroes.However, they reluctantly unite behind an idea that Scott Lang/Antman (Paul Rudd) who has escaped from the Quantum Realm proposes - what if they could go back in time? could they change the course of events and bring those lost back?Technology that doesn't really exist, however putting their minds to it a machine is assembled to do just that.Now with a very out of condition Thor (Chris Hemsworth) along with a very different Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) Captain America (Chris Evans) Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) War Machine (Don Cheadle) Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) join Iron Man and Antman in a mission to find the Infinity Stones keeping them out of the clutches of Thanos, preventing the loss of so many and the destruction of the infrastructure of much of the Universe.To do so, many dangers will have to be faced including another head-on-clash with Thanos and the forces at his beckon-call.Will the past be restored? Will all of those on the quest survive?A superb follow-up to Infinity War, maybe not what I anticipated having avoided being told of events, but, exciting stuff indeed, action-packed coupled with the usual array of dazzling CGI.With its star-studded cast-list, certainly a must for Marvel/Super-Hero fans.Footnote - I hope the Disney/Sony dispute regarding Spiderman (Tom Holland) can be resolved...surely a must?
