Avengers - Endgame

I finally managed to see this film today.  Avenger - Endgame is, I think, the 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series.  That's quite an achievement.

I don't think the film would make sense if you hadn't seen most of the preceding series.  It's entertaining enough for comic book fans.  It's stuffed full of in jokes and hidden references.  It's not a jumping on point by any means.  As a bare minimum you would need to have seen the last Avengers film to follow any of it.

There are lots of flashes and bangs and CGI battles.  It all gets a bit Lord of the Rings at some points but it is all tied together in the end.  I think this is now one of the most popular films ever (not adjusted for inflation).  It's a bit of a mess but as a sequence of films this has been done well.

There are plot holes and many good characters get limited screen time.  I do want to see what happens next.  I am a long term marvel junkie.

Apparently Howard the Duck is in the big fight scene.  Look for him.
