Avengers: Endgame - 4/5

It's awesome! It is the crescendo to the MCU (so far) that all the fans have been waiting for, and it delivers marvellously. Some of the best moments in all of the Marvel films to date are in this movie, and it pays off some things it's been setting up for years in such a satisfying way that I left the theatre feeling full. Unfortunately, some of the characters’ stories get short shrift, some of the pacing wasn't great, and Carol Danvers was intolerable in the few scenes she was in. But over the course of 3 hours this film’s weaknesses are far overshadowed by it's towering successes.

Closest comparison: It's been a good run. Thanks, Stan.
