Our chief editor Pavel Fedorov went to the first screening of the film in his city and returned with a ball of nerves and impressions.
Already on the eve of the premiere in Russia, it became known that for the first weekend in the world, "Avengers: Endgame" gained more than a billion dollars. Agiotage is the most accurate word to describe the start of a film in Russia. For the first time in my small town, night shows were held - and I have never seen so many people in our cinema before.
Before the premiere, there was a lot of discussion about two things: how the Avengers will roll back Thanos' flick and who will die. So: about the first, a bold hint was made to us a year ago, and the second is completely unimportant. It doesn't matter what happened to your favorite heroes - each completed this long journey with dignity. And believe me: the main spoilers are not who dies, resurrects, or survives. The main spoilers are how this is exactly what will happen.
Imagine that you have been watching your favorite TV series for 11 years, the last episode comes out and … And it is correct. The way it should be. You see your favorite heroes again. All plot tangles unravel (all at the most). All questions are answered. There remains a slight sadness from parting with your favorite TV series (and a little from some plot twists), but there is no feeling of Spanish shame - when someone messes up, but you are ashamed. Everything ends as it should - well, almost.
Avengers: Endgame is a celebration of the MCU fans. Everything they wanted to see happened, though not always in the version in which it was expected. Did you want to see these heroes together? To your health. Did you want to?.. Hold. Wanted … No need for unnecessary words, here and there. "Final" is one big three-hour emotion and not a drop of rationality on the first day after watching. You scream from the first 15 minutes, empty from the first hour, cry, then laugh, then cry again, and then grab your head. The whole film is one big bundle of nerves.
Later, when you move away from all this magic at home, you begin to notice the flaws. Some scenes are drawn out, too much Deus ex machina, inconsistencies in facts, slack in scenes - but all this is completely unimportant, because the emotions you get from the film pay off all its possible flaws. And when your favorite hero appears, you just want to jump out of your chair and chant "Hurray, hurray, hurray!"
If you have not watched a single MCU movie, do not waste time on "Endgame", you simply will not understand anything. Otherwise, urgently buy tickets for at least two sessions - because from the first time it is impossible to understand (and simply notice) all the references.
If you need any rating, then I'll give 15 points out of 10. Marvel has been creating magic for 11 years, hollowing out a place for itself in the history of cinema. And it is not clear if anyone can surpass her now.
