New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Movie Critic Reviews Revealed, And They’re Mostly Positive
Hey, Marvel Movie fans. The huge, new Marvel “Avengers: Endgame” movie officially hit theaters nationwide today, April 26, 2019, and a lot of the reviews are in from the top movie critics in the country. After skimming over a few of them, I can already see that most of them are quite positive. It got an overall 77 out of a possible 100 score over on the Metacritic.com site.
In this article, we’re going to reveal what a few of the top critics had to say. To get things started, Michael O’Sullivan from the Washington Post gave it a perfect 100 score, and he said Endgame is about acceptance and moving on.
He stated, “If “Infinity War” was about failure, “Endgame” is, ironically, all about acceptance and moving on. After 11 long years, the Infinity Saga is finally, fulfillingly over. There is no post-credit scene. But oh, what a going-away party these old friends have thrown for themselves.”
Helen O’Hara over at Empire gave it another 100 perfect score. She said Endgame features a ton of emotion and action and is very satisfying stating, “A victory lap that moonwalks through the best part of the MCU back catalogue and emphasises emotion as much as action, this is an intensely satisfying piece of blockbuster filmmaking.”
Good ole Richard Roeper who is still over at the Chicago Sun-Times also gave it a perfect 100 score. He expressed that he thinks Endgame is a serious contender for possibly being the best Marvel Universe movie to date! Those are definitely some huge words. He explained, “I’m not prepared to instantly label Avengers: Endgame as the best of the 23 Marvel Universe movies to date, but it’s a serious contender for the crown and it’s the undisputed champion when it comes to emotional punch.”
Laura Prudom from IGN gave Endgame a very good 95 score. She thinks it’s the most ambitious and emotional Marvel film to date and tied up more than a decade of storytelling. Laura stated, “Avengers: Endgame is easily the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most ambitious, emotional, and affecting film to date, somehow managing to tie up more than a decade of storytelling in a confident (and mostly coherent) climax – a hurdle that many other blockbuster franchises have stumbled over in their final runs.”
Joe Morgenstern from over at the Wall Street Journal thought this movie deserved a 90 grade, which is very good. He thinks Endgame definitely summed up the epic struggle it featured with lots of incredible action.
Brian Truitt from USA Today, gave Endgame an 88 score. He called it a triple-disc greatest hits package that features a great cover along with lots of familiar and comforting gems.

However,at the same time, he felt it was quite satisfying. He stated, “The movie is ludicrously long, clocking in at three hours and one minute, but surprisingly satisfying.”
Brian Tallerico from RogerEbert.com, gave Endgame another 75 score. He thinks Endgame is unlike any movie Hollywood has ever produced!
