Avengers: End Game, the final outing from the highly celebrated Avengers franchise hit the theaters across the globe today. The action entertainer has a lot riding on it and the earth-shattering advance bookings are a testimony of the same. Scroll down to check whether the film manages to reach the sky-high expectations laid upon it. Story: Avengers come to know that they can undo the humongous damage caused by Thanos if they can use quantum physics to go back in time and collect all the infinity stones. However, this path is treaded with unprecedented challenges, which can eventually wipe out the entire human race, if not executed properly. Just when everything seems to be going as planned, Thanos re-enters the scene and the Avengers will now have to get the better of him to achieve what they want. Will they be successful in the process? What are the challenges they have to overcome? The answers to these questions form the plot of the film. Plus points: Avengers: End Game banks mainly on the emotional journey of the lead characters and that is portrayed exceedingly well. The audience will connect with the characters on a personal level and that is surely the biggest asset of the film. The lead cast, including the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Mark Ruffalo come up with great performances. The last hour of the flick is the real deal as the audiences are put through an emotional rollercoaster. A particular sequence where all the superheroes make their way back to Earth is goosebump-inducing. Minus Points: For some odd reason, the directors take a lot of time to get things going in the initial stages. The first 20 minutes are flat and there is nothing much going on. The time travel heist in the first half is a tad confusing. However, things get slightly better in the second half. Technical Aspects: The directors, Anthony Russo, and Joe Russo set their focus on getting the emotional connect right and they succeeded in this department. However, they should have concentrated more on the screenplay in the first half. The background score is just brilliant and elevates most scenes to a whole new level. The camera works are good and so were the graphics and CGI works. Coming to the Telugu version, the dubbing is neat. A number of Telugu movies’ references have been used to keep the native audience hooked. Verdict: On the whole, Avengers: End Game is a fitting finale to the remarkable franchise. It gets off to a slow start but gains momentum towards the end of the first half and the last hour is the real standout and gives goosebumps for the audience. The film will be loved by the followers of the franchise and in that process break several records at the box office. Must Watch.

STORY: ‘Avengers: Endgame’ continues from its previous instalment ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, where a chain of catastrophic events destroyed half the universe. The remaining Avengers now come together for one final time to reverse the actions of the evil Thanos and restore the order of the universe. But will they succeed? REVIEW: Overwhelming. It best describes the final chapter that culminates Marvel Cinematic Universe’s 21 iconic films into one. And that also describes the experience of watching your favourite superheroes come together for a singular goal, for one last time. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo ensure that the humongous build-up and the avalanche of expectations do not get the better of them. They deliver a largely wholesome product that is full of moments laced with action, emotion, comedy and drama. Writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely take you along, even if you haven’t been following the franchise. They do an incredible job with the screenplay to balance emotions with visual spectacle. So if you’re not a fan yet, chances are, you might become one after watching this instalment. While the screen time for each character is not equal, their significance in the story is. And there are enough surprises in store, as far as their fates are concerned. ‘Endgame’ delivers quite well on the emotional quotient, bringing out superpowers and vulnerabilities of its cinematic demigods through their measured performances. From an upright Captain America (Chris Evans) to a stoic Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and from a straight-faced Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) delivering the punches to the reassuring presence of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), ‘Endgame’ has it all and a lot more. Thanks to the conviction in performances, you also might just find yourself rooting for the bad guy, Thanos (Josh Brolin) at some point. However, it’s the comic collective of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Ant Man (Paul Rudd) that ensures there are enough lighter moments in this otherwise heartfelt finale. The action becomes progressively intense, but never overbearing. In fact, it remains relevant and true to the narrative, such that it weaves in enough opportunities for major plot twists that even the diehard fans may not see coming. The extensive CGI work adds to the visual appeal, even in 2D. For the non-fans, the film’s explanatory tone might come across as a speed breaker at times, but for the fans, the same invokes hope and excitement, leading to constant gasps and howls. Overall, 'Avengers: Endgame' is a befitting tribute to the Cinematic Universe that has spawned larger-than-life superheroes and super fans. At three hours plus, ‘Endgame’ delivers on a lot of its hallmark promises, leaving its fans with a range of emotions and fond memories.
