Assemble for the forth and in some cases for the last time time: continuing from where Avengers: Infinity War 2018 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2022/05/avengers-infinity-war-2018-by.html if you want to catch up, finished the remaining characters such as Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man/Howard Potts [Robert Downey Jr.] and Nebula [Karen Gillan] are stuck on the ship running out of oxygen, whilst on Dimension-616 Earth/Midguard Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow is trying to keep things in order with Steve Rogers/Captain America [Chris Evans] doing group sessions for people are just into their new way of life. But suddenly Scott Lang/Ant-Man [Paul Rudd] comes back from the Quantum Realm which he has been stuck in for over 5 years, but to him it was much shorter but nonetheless he comes back with an idea which may in theory just work.

The pacing for this 181 minutes film is generally speaking good, meaning it is a bit slow, but after some time it slowly gets better and better. I do understand this slow big portion; it is heavy on the dialogue exchanges and it is an excellent thing that over many years or in comparison a short amount of time [depending on when they got introduced into the MCU; Marvel Cinematic universe,] these character developments/performers/performances have been slowly nurtured by everyone concerned be it the script writers or the director or the performers themselves [or just to cover my back anyone else I have missed.] But having said all this there is still one character/performer who sticks out like a sore thumb and that is surprise, surprise Carol Danvers/Vers/Captain Marvel [Brie Larson,] don't get me wrong she has a moment with Peter Parker/Spider-Man [Tom Holland] where she is showing signs of momentarily being charming and funny, but is it me or whenever minus this moment is there a weird atmosphere whenever she is in this film giving or sharing dialogue, full disclosure I have seen so much content to support what I am saying here, what I can only describe or best describe as in a short description with her doing the media circuit with her co-stars for this film it is just awkward on a grand scale [if you want to know more about my opinions on her, in the previous film review of the link I have put up, I am also linked in some other relating blogs.] But mostly minus her this is a cast performance as everyone else hits it out of the park with fantastic ease as they have characters arguing at one point Tony Stark and Steve Rogers or Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk [Mark Ruffalo] and Rocket [voiced by Bradley Cooper] as in a nutshell they go to seek Thor [Chris Hemsworth] at New Asgard [Midguard.]

On finding Thor he is somewhat hairier and not exactly in the same physical shape that we have come to expect, so Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk tries to be supportive but at the end of it Rocket just points out we have beer on the ship. This is an excellent time to point out that Thor is the comedy factor, don't get me wrong there are other comedy contributions, but Thor brings the comedy to the table and no if you're wondering it doesn't devalue or turn him into a joke, it is perfectly within his nature to do this considering what is life has been like up to this point and for another comedy, but without giving too much away we have this selection of characters talking about theories of time travel, makes for an interesting insight, which for most of my life, it sounds like I could be wrong, but as I have been thinking about this; I will take this opinion under advisement, but as I have recently just said I have been thinking about this, so what I have decided to do is go with the rules of time travel which depending what universe I am in watching basically, is the rules I will be using.

The art and action is of the most highest calibre; the scenery is truly eye-catching and captivating, including make-up and wardrobe Winner Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 2019; Saturn Award; Best Make-Up John Blake Brian Sipe or Nominee Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Awards 2020 Nominee Costume Designers Guild Awards 2020; CDG Award; Excellence in Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film Judianna Makovsky; be it time travel or Ant-Man/Giant-Man [everything that comes with him] or The final battle sequence winner takes everything. Even Pepper Pots/Iron Lady [Gwyneth Paltrow] lines up to put foot to posterior [I should just point out I am not being a sexist here, just pointing out that everyone that could suit up did.] In this massive life changing action sequence we have this really serious game of we need to keep the Gauntlet which has the 6 Infiniti Stones away from Thanos [voiced by Josh Brolin] whilst simultaneously fighting him The Black Order a.k.a. the Children of Thanos and the Outriders and it is safe to assume any other forces at Thanos disposal. Which no surprise this Won awards like Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 2019; Saturn Award; Best Comic-to-Film Motion Picture or Nominee Academy Awards, USA 2020 Nominee Oscar Best Achievement in Visual Effects Dan DeLeeuw Russell Earl Matt Aitken Daniel Sudick.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is lots of fun; yes as I have previously stated this film is a little bit slow and yes it wasn't lost on me that they briefly discuss what happened to Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk from the previous film to this one, but fingers crossed that they bring it up in Marvel Studio's She-Hulk: Attorney at Law 2022, just for a little bit more substance here. But generally speaking this mark is a fair outcome. This film has so many awards accredited to its name 70 Winners for an example AEAF Awards 2019; AEAF; Feature Film VFX - Gold Weta Digital and 132 Nominees for an example BAFTA Awards 2020; BAFTA Film Award Best Achievement in Special Visual Effects Dan DeLeeuw Daniel Sudick Matt Aitken Russell Earl, it does have for some negative awards credited to its name such as Nominee Golden Schmoes Awards 2019; Golden Schmoes Most Overrated Movie of the Year and for some strange reason this award is accredited here; Columbus Film Critics Association 2020 Actor of the Year (for an exemplary body of work) Scarlett Johansson For Captain Marvel , Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story.

At the end of this film; roughly around the closing credits we have this entire sequence this part of the MCU  has come to a close, obviously they will use this event as in what is in this film to build upon in the present and moving on, but this entire sequence of seeing these performer name with characters in action or seeing these performers on screen with light hitting their bodies so it lights up a bit with their performer name and signature; this is a classy way to bring things to a close. I was thinking I would leave this review like this and in the word of Stan Lee "Excelsior!"
