Avengers: Endgame—odd conclusion that seems disjointed from its
story—runs as ‘not well thought out and complicates itself.’ It’s 2-hour build
up leaves the audience flat at the end. The camera work, the animation, and the
acting are good to great. It’s a good watch for superhero fans, but not for general
audiences.

Yes. If one wants to finish the series, this is
it.
Captain America: Civil War seems out of place from other Marvel stories. The
story itself is well presented, well written, and well-acted but it seems odd
to take these characters out of the hero role and place them in a role that seems more
criminal than hero. While thismovie is
meant to be the 3rd part of the Captain America series, it is so
different that it can be watched as a stand-alone movie. It does not seem to
relate to films like Avengers: infinity War because of different
introductions to certain characters such as the Spiderman. There is much more backstory on Bucky Barnes
(Sebastian Stan) which is quite welcome. Other than that, this is a movie that
will satisfy the Marvel superhero fan. Just be prepared for an entirely
different portrayal of superheroes.

The United Nations plans to ‘manage’ the
Avengers. The Avengers divide opinion over whether this is a good action or a
bad action.

Yes.
This movie serves the Marvel superhero fan well. It is a stand-alone film that
does not have to be sequentially watched and has a worthy storyline supported
by good action scenes.
Avengers: Infinity War is complicated because of all the A-list actors
and actresses playing several of the Marvel characters in the Marvel Universe
within the storyline. The exceptions to inclusion in this film are X-Men and Nick Fury and many more. Stan Lee gets his
usual cameo. Watch for it as it is exceptionally easy to miss in this movie. Tom
Holland is the British actor who takes on the Spiderman suit as was already established
in several movies unrelated to Avengers. This movie is epic, takes viewers on a strongly themed good versus evil storyline, and leaves viewers hanging for the
sequel, Avengers: End Game. It's a WOW! movie that earns its watch.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. While the movie complicates itself with a
barrage of characters, it is precisely because nearly all the Marvel characters
appear in the film and because the storyline is terrific and well executed that
make it a WOW! movie.
