After the tragic climax of Avengers: Infinity War, the Avengers have split up and moved on with their lives. When Ant-Man returns from the Quantum Realm, there is suddenly hope that this magical dimension could hold the key to reverting the past events. Iron Man launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2008. Now 11 years and 22 releases later, the Infinity Saga gets an epic finale. There is the inevitable final showdown with Thanos, but also a clever and unsentimental trip through some of the past movies in the saga. The three hours feature some of the most moving and funniest scenes in the studio's output. The movie is not perfect, but with this much to wrap up, it is probably as great as it can be.
