Blu-ray movies for me are not like video games because I watch them once and afterwards only a selected few will pique my interest to watch again in the near future. But Avengers Infinity War is one of those exceptions. On April 27, 2018 something really special happened. It was the release of Avengers Infinity War. In my opinion that movie was a 10 out of 10. It kept me interested throughout the whole adventure with great transitions, non-stop action scenes, funny moments (Where is Gamora, Who is Gamora…I got a better one for you WHY IS GAMORA), sad deaths and a cliffhanger ending that left me craving for the conclusion. So after 1 year of speculations and high anticipations Avengers: End Game was finally released on April 26, 2019. So did it live up to the hype? Lets find out.
If you don’t know by now Avenger End Game has shattered many records since it made 1.2 billion worldwide on its opening weekend and has surpassed Titanic which was the 2nd grossed movie of all time. The only thing left for it to do to become number one is to beat Avatar’s box office numbers. All that was only possible because of Infinity War’s cliffhanger ending. So was it worth it? My honest opinion is it was a good movie but not a great masterpiece like Infinity War. So what should End Game have done to make it a masterpiece?
1) First of all the opening of the movie was wrong. What they should of done is that they should of opened the movie with 5 minutes showing the pure chaos Thanos has created on the regular civilians after he snapped his fingers with the gauntlet. I am talking about starting the movie with Nick Fury’s scene before he paged Captain Marvel which we saw in the end credits of Infinity War and expanding it. Car Accidents, helicopters smashing into skyscrapers, air planes dropping from the sky, nuclear plant meltdowns, total chaos of civilians panicking running in the streets, people searching for their love ones and live news broadcast anchors yelling and panicking in tears not knowing what to say and report. All those would of would of made a breathtaking opening before transitioning to Hawkeye hanging with his family and teaching his daughter how to use a bow and arrow afterwards realizing what was going on.
2) When the final battle was happening in the movie, they should of included the X-Men. Just imagined how cool it would of been if Wolverine, Cyclops, Beast, Rogue, Strom and Gambit had their one minute of fame with a well-choregraphed ass kicking on the battlefield while the 1993 cartoon opening theme music was playing. This would of been really good for fan service.
3) I wish Galactus would of got somehow involved. Even though Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel gave Thanos a good fight, Thanos did managed to get the gauntlet at the end. Iron Man should of only been able to take the Soul Stone leaving Thanos with the rest of the stones on the gauntlet. While Thanos beat the Avengers one after one with the incomplete gauntlet while trying to get the Soul Stone, Galactus should of entered making it one colossal memorable battle while showing Thanos’ pure strength and intelligence with the incomplete gauntlet.
I hope my point of view was helpful to you 🙂
