Hello everyone the time has come this is our Avengers endgame
Non-spoiler review. I am Perry Nemiroff. This is Dennis Tzeng, but right off the top
I just want to tell you we are prioritizing a whole variety of opinions on this movie
So yes, Dennis and I were kicking this off with our opinions first
But brace yourselves because we are gonna have so much endgame content on the channel soon. You're gonna get heroes reviews
You're gonna get spoiler reviews eventually when the time is right, so get ready
You're gonna hear from the whole crew. I can assure you that I'm not gonna do a recap of this movie Dennis
I think we're just gonna jump right into it. So what do you think?
Oh, I absolutely loved it as someone who grew up reading comic books and reading
specifically this Infinity Gauntlet storyline in the comics and seeing how it's being translated and adapted to
Their Marvel Cinematic Universe. I was very satisfied with what they did and they built up a lot
I loved infinity war, but I came in with a lot of apprehension
Because of the stuff they set up but in my mind it paid off
In a very satisfying way, I will agree with the very end of what you said
I think I'm at the point where I liked it a lot and I'm teetering on the edge of
Loving it, and you know when I tweeted last night
I I will probably say that the initial tweet after seeing Avengers end game might be one of the most difficult
Twitter reactions I've ever written because when I say the movie was a lot I mean it is a lot it's the culmination
Of a 22 film arc. It's a three-hour movie
There are so many key characters in play the way that the story is structured is it's truly
Mind-bending so walking away and having like a split second reaction. It's a challenge
I'm still not in love it territory and I think it's simply because
The first hour of the movie it took a little while to get going
I think what we see before the title card is very strong, but what comes after it?
It's very it's very talked heavy and I think the dialogue is spot-on
It just took me a little longer than I would have liked to really connect and feel the momentum of the movie
No, see I actually like that. I like that it has a different pace than any war was very like
Okay, we're here. Okay now a bunch of stuffs happening or over here about where this one's like
They have to fully realize and take in
What happens in the last movie and I like the slow build and yes
there's probably a point in the middle where it gets a little bit slower and a little more repetitive, but-
Not enough for me to to dig into too much
I mean, it's a slight criticism, but for me, it's like where they end up
I'm thoroughly happy with see that's the thing. That's really kind of messing with my head right now
Is that in the moment when I was sitting there in the theater? I was thinking to myself
I'm not connecting with these characters and this mission as much as I would have expected to at this point
but
After seeing it and having let's say 12 hours to be removed from it to actually take a step back and see the bigger picture
That stuff that I say is slow
You need it in order to have the payoff at the end. And oh wow that payoff
I mean really my mind is truly blown by the
architecture behind this whole cinematic universe and in particular when it comes to
Infinity war and the end game narratives that build is just so incredibly well
earned, it is not easy to craft a cinematic event like this and not have it simply feel like Oh,
Fan service here fan service here. Remember when that happened? No. No. Look at this character
They earn every single moment in the story that they crafted here justifies it
Yeah
when you mention that there is a lot in this movie to unpack and but because
the Russo brothers did such a good job and also the screenwriters as well of
Weaving all the storylines and characters all into play
it feels seamless to me and like you wouldn't think over all these movies with all these characters and
What not they would be able to do it. But but I
Congratulate them. I'm not convinced. It's seamless yet
but the
conversation that we were having
After we had seen the movie when we started to put all the pieces together and started to string all the events together in particular
It is it's it is very very satisfying. I think after your second watch. I think you will be back on here
Or actually on our spoilers review you'll possible you're gonna be like, I'll I know where you're going with this. Yes
I think I think a second watch you may may turn that that really really like into a love
it's it's totally possible and there is something about
investing yourself in 10 years worth of storytelling and then sitting here for the movie titled endgame a
Feeling that I will never forget and then the feeling that it left me with in the end
I mean, I mean it it justified these intense connections that I have with so many of these characters because similar to
franchises like DC and Star Wars
this is something that kind of seeps into your life in a very
Different way than let's say just a single movie and not to say that a single movie can't have
Major meaning for someone out there
But to have lived with this for so long and to feel personally connected to these characters and to basically feel in real life
what they reference in the movie the fact that they're
Family that that's what this feels like to me and that's what that ending felt like and wow. Wow, did they stick that landing?
Yeah, I mean I grew up on all three Star Wars Marvel DC and so for me like, you know all these things
I hold dear where I think some people especially the younger generation today
They Star Wars for them is not their thing and they haven't connected to something some have but the MCU in
Particular has has resonated with them and and they have connected with these characters in these storylines
and so I feel like a lot of people are going to
Get that
That payoff that they were looking for at the end of this movie. Yeah
This one was heavily focused on the original six
And it's not even just that they had more
Time this time around they had very well fleshed out arcs arcs that serve this
Individual movie on its own very well
Obviously you need the events of in front anymore to get that but I thought it worked really well in this particular
film and the way that it connects to
Everything that's happening in this franchise is just something else and I am very very impressed that they pulled it off
From the visual perspective this movie looks different in a number of different ways
There's certain sequences with different color palettes that really stuck out to me
But I'm talking not even scenes or sequences
I'm talking about single
Frames that when you see that visual and you pair it with that score there is something about it that gives you chills goosebumps
however
you want to put it there's a number of those but there's one in particular and I'm
very eager for other people to find it when they see the movie, but it meant a lot to
Review
And that was a great shot actually
I think my favorite show is a few a couple minutes before that and I think I know what you're talking about. So, yeah
This movie definitely has it. It's it's weird
It has a similar tone to infinity war but also different at the same time
It's still true to what was built. But obviously with what happens in there
There is you know more somber tone. Like you said the color palette is a less bright
darker, but it does still have the
Action the humor and emotion. There's yeah there were several
Emotional moments throughout the movie that I was like, oh my god. You know what?
The more I talk about it the more I am
You know, I'm still hesitant to use the word love yet until I watch it again
But I'm teetering on that and it's all it's not just because of the in the moment experience of watching the movie
It's also because of the conversation that comes after it. I really do think that they hit a great balance between
Having just enough comedy keeping that somber tone so that you maintain the stakes
that was another thing that I was very impressed by because you know after the snap happened we were constantly talking about like
How are we gonna get the rest of the MCU and ever have it feel like that?
Moment had stakes and without kind of you know
glossing over that and making it meaningless when Yuri watch infinity war they handle it in an
A-plus way that worked for me. So so well, yeah, I was concerned that it would retroactively
Make infinity war a worse movie in a sense. I don't know if that's possible for some people but like, you know
So I I'm glad that I was able to get out there satisfied not with endgame but also with infinity war
I'm gonna give it a 9.5. I'm not sure what I gave infinity war. I think was a around the same
around the same vein
I think I'm coming in at an 8.5 right now an 8.5 out of 10
Which is it's still a very high score. I liked this movie a lot again
I give it that score because I found it a little slow to start but then when it ramps up it
freakin takes off and it flies and I
Really? I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I really can't get over how
satisfied I was in the end and how it made me feel the fact that a
franchise like this can be
Constructed in a way that makes you feel a part of it in a way like obviously these are characters and battles that we're watching
happening on the big screen
We're not really in the mix. But the this kind of connection to a group of characters feels a little different than
pretty much most other
franchises out there and you know to have this movie is something special to have a cinematic event like this is
Really kind of unheard of and I do think that any kind of franchise that wants to achieve something
similar
avengers endgame
pulling this off with 22 films is a great model to follow not a copy and paste but if
You want to look at something that really built over the course of ten years
This is something else. Yeah, I mean they looked at it like it was a high budget big budget
vision series and they had a
They knew where they were going
and so they you know
obviously
There's gonna have things you have to change along the way but they knew what their end point was one other thing before we close
This out
I think another thing that makes this such a powerful franchise and such a powerful concluding chapter to something that will obviously continue but is
The fact that you could feel the love you could feel the love for these characters
It's not just about putting these stories on the big screen and wowing us with VFX anymore. They created
fully
Developed layered characters that are people and you could tell like the love for those characters and what they're experiencing is
Radiating off the screen from Kevin Feige and everybody underneath them
I mean you felt it in the room for the premiere and you feel it when you watch these movies you saw it in infinity
Where I think but you really see it at the end of endgame, so I will leave it at that
All right. I want to keep talking about it, which I think is a good sign
I think it is guys that is it for this first non-spoiler review that you're getting on Collider video
