Avengers: Endgame (2019)
10 Years
This emotional ending is perfectly balanced with the action packed setup from Infinity War. Marvel did an amazing job making an often-surprising and satisfying movie to tie up all the plot threads. There is nothing quite like the MCU and this movie displayed how far Marvel has taken each of its characters relationships throughout the last 10 years. Loved it!
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Incredible
If you're a fan of the previous movies, this film will definitely make you laugh one moment and cry the next. The movie starts an incredibly fast past, largely because the tension has already been built up in the after credits of the previous films (Thano's 2-3 cameos). The star of this film is definitely Josh Brolin, as he displays unique emotional depth as the nihilistic villian Thanos. I don't think I've seen another movie that packs quite so much into the time frame given I wouldn't have cut or added anything. After the film was over, everyone in the theater said something similar to "I need to go sit down and think about what just happened." This is likely due to the emotional shifts, the constant struggle of the characters, and the sense of unending dread the movie makes you feel. I gave this movie 10 stars, because there really isn't any valid criticism to give. This was an incredibly hard movie to pull off and my hat goes off to the guys at Marvel and the directors for being able to do so. I'm excited for Part 2 and the next Phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
