Avengers : Endgame

Ce que tout le monde pensait devoir durer trois heures dans Avengers: Endgame se révèle en réalité terminé en vingt minutes et enveloppé dans une totale dépression. Le reste est une comédie de braquage dans le style de Ocean's Eleven feat. Retour vers le futur 2 feat. The Big Lebowski sous la direction de Marvel, dans sa meilleure forme, avec un final épique qui laissera les fans en pleurs pendant le dernier quart d'heure. La conclusion comme il se doit d'une ère, malgré quelques jeux déroutants avec les paradoxes temporels. Cette année, je suis sorti du cinéma plus satisfait que jamais. (24/04/2019)

Une énorme déception. Je suis encore une fois à contre-courant sur ce site, mais vous ne pouvez pas imaginer la gifle quand on s’endort après trente minutes, alors que je me réjouissais grandement après le spectacle d’action épique qu’offrait le volet précédent. Merci à mon ami d’avoir réalisé et de m'avoir réveillé à temps, parce que sinon, j’aurais peut-être dormi pendant tout le film. Une première heure ennuyeuse ; une deuxième heure on ne peut plus bizarre, confuse et chaotique ; une pré-fin contenant un peu d’action comme on ne l’attendait plus ; et une fin typiquement américaine. Fallait-il vraiment clôturer cette série de 22 films d’une façon aussi conne ? Enfin, visiblement, la plupart ont apprécié et des millions continueront sans nul doute d’affluer joyeusement.

There is no doubt about the fact that the realization possibilities of a Hollywood blockbuster are at their peak. An expertly crafted ride that has no time to hesitate or fumble. But it lacked emotionally for me more than I was willing to admit at first. The anticipation of Thanos' uncompromising body count disappears at the snap of a finger, and where others had tears rolling down their faces, I just sat nervously. In that spectacular wringer of emotions, I actually enjoyed one very unexpected emotion when the two grown men just chat on the way to the car. The rest passed me by. Kevin Feige will be taught about someday. Hats off to him. (06/05/2019)

I'm not a big fan of comic book CGI coloring books, but I have to capitulate here. Especially thanks to the middle section, when it clicks together beautifully like a sophisticated jigsaw puzzle that recalls all the previous Marvel movies, and the film rolls out such incredible fan service that it's almost admirable. That and the last nostalgic quarter of an hour will actually show how the suits from Marvel have it perfectly thought out in advance, even ten or fifteen years in advance. A perfectly tuned machine that is unparalleled in today's film studio constellation. Kevin Feige is a stud. (06/05/2019)

Though not outright admiration, Endgame does at least deserve sincere recognition for how the creators managed to link the more than twenty films of the Marvel Universe so far, developing motifs from pretty much every one of them, but still holding things together somehow. And also because, even though the result was clear in advance (that end of Infinity War would be reversed), the way there managed to surprise more than once. The time travel scenes are really quite original. On the other hand, the effort to show at least for a moment almost every single character that’s had screen time in the ten-year history of the Marvel movies ended up hurting it. I felt it was way too overcrowded (both in the number of characters, as well as in the motifs, styles and moods), and I wasn’t able to fully focus and immerse myself in it. It also carries on with the typical problem of the Avengers films, the lack of a face of their own (which doesn’t apply to the solo outfits). It’s simply aesthetically uninteresting. I’m also giving it a 7/10, and the lower rating is because of what they did with Thor. That wasn’t humour, that was pure cringe. (26/04/2019)
