AVENGERS: ENDGAME


AVENGERS: ENDGAME:   Wrapping it all up with an all-star cast...…...Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts), Chris Evans (Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Paul Rudd (Ant-man), Tom Holland (Spiderman), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) and Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp.)   In case you think I jest about an all-star cast, also on board is Jeremy Renner, Rene Russo, Tilda Swenton, Natalie Portman, Marisa Tomei, Michelle Pfeiffer, William Hurt, Angela Basset, Michael Douglas, Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford.  Josh Brolin returns as the super-villain Thanos and a separate nod to Vin Deisel and Bradley Cooper for suppling the voices for two of the CGI creatures, Groot and Rocket, respectively.  Now, for the plot...……well, it's simply too complicated to explain but, suffice it to say, it's a thrill ride with some wonderful emotional scenes along the way as well as needed laughs..  But be forewarned, the running time is 3 hours.  While I have not seen every film in this franchise, this one sort of ties it all up neatly and even has a lovely twist at the end after the final battle.   And stay through the credits to catch the names of everyone you didn't recognize in the various cameos.   Great fun!
