POPCORN-O-METER = 9.7
Today’s a great day because with this review Popcorn
Explorer officially takes off. I thought and I decided to kick start my reviews
with probably the best movie I’ve ever watched.
To me, movie connoisseurs and Marvel fan’s this masterpiece
from The Russo brothers is a long overdue love letter. This is because if
you’ve been following Kevin Feige and his well-crafted MCU (Marvel Cinematic
Universe) this movie rewards you for you constant follow up because of the time
travel sequences by visiting Thor: The dark world (2013), The Avenger’s (2012)
and even earlier times in MCU history. Some people say the beginning is a bit boring, it
amuses me because for Marvel followers they understand that some things said
and references made are what only they can understand to close some of the plotholes in previous movies. Endgame makes you have agreater appreciation for previous Titles like Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, especially the former because somethings that seemed meaningless or of little importance back then are justified here. For those that just
watched it like any other superhero movie only the first 30 minutes and the
final about over an hour of the movie was made for them.
Infinity War was a great movie, but this movie was on
another level. All theories on what to expect were thrown out the window as the
movie began to evolve from one scene to another. Marvel studios once more
showing us how the much the Superhero genre is much more evolved than what the
competition has to offer, mighty heroes were at an all-time low. Showing that
as powerful or different they may seem from us they have feelings and emotions
like we do, unlike the Robot-like heroes we usually see from other superhero production
companies. It tells us that as much as we would love to be like them they are
very much like us. The Villain Thanos once again played by the spectacular Josh
Brolin also isn’t the power hungry egotistical maniac we usually see but he had
a very logical basis for doing everything, he even turned out to be loved (even
by me). For a movie with so many stars and such a long screen time to have a
plot so well written and executed to so much perfection is quite rare. Going
into Visual effects, Screen writing and other behind the scene work would be a
definite waste of time because work so good should only be appreciated with
pure silence.
Finally, this movie is another great example of Marvel
Studios taking superhero movies to another level. If you’re a Thanos lover like
I am, the so called Mad Titan (I think that’s an exaggeration) pushes Iron man,
Thor and most especially Captain America to the heights of battle to produce
without mincing words as at the time of writing the most exhilarating action
sequence I’ve ever seen. There are things I hate seeing when I go see a movie
like talking, shouting, clapping, wooing, calling names of actor, people that
ask or answer questions, standing and most especially people that give nonsense
explanations to others but I broke like 3 of my rules that day, because I
didn’t know when I started screaming, clapping and waving that day that just
tells you how good the Final battle was. But after that comes sadness though
because Tony stark sacrifices himself for the universe and Natasha Romanov
a.k.a. Black Widow who had sacrificed herself earlier in the movie both get
funerals.
