Just goes you show you that people these days can be served trash and still treat it like it's the best thing ever as long as their fave Tony Stank and Spooderman is in it.
Eh, no.
Movies like Fast and Furious or Transformers had that going for them. People liked the IP/Characters and they made lots of money. However both franchises were critically panned and typically still are.
Not the same thing at all. Go read a few reviews about endgame. Points to it are typically:
- Acting is top notch.
- Writing to explain time travel is coherent and believable to the GA
- The film does something completely unconventional (have them lose again 20 minutes into the film and have a 5 year timeskip)
- Actual consequences even though the snap was predictably reversed (Tony and Nat dying, Steve growing old).
- Does not feel like a 3 hour movie
The film isn't even an action film. It barely has action until the last 3rd of the film. It's all about the heart and drama of the characters you've known for 12 years and how they deal with losing.
The film is literally about losing and never giving up the chance to bring back loved ones lives, even at the cost of your own.
