�Avengers: Endgame�
Avengers: Endgame nailed to mix humor, pain, happiness. This
film is the most humane film from all Marvel films! The film
truly opens audiences scars by relating themselves with the
story whether of lost ones and second chances while at the same
still adds humor into the scenes which is just perfect. (But,
don�t expect something funny like Ant-Man or Shazam! for
example.) How the marketing tries to not give a bit of a clue to
the audience from the trailer and anything is a great one, which
makes the audience surprised. This film is something you will
not expect. You will cry either from sadness, happiness or just
by being touched. Very great applause to the Russo Brothers!!!!...Read more |
