Last night I drove to the Disney Studios in Burbank to see Avengers: Endgame.

Today, I’m supposed to sit here and write a spoiler-free review for you all to read.

And I can’t.

There is nothing that I can say about this movie that’s not a spoiler because every moment is packed with amazement, shock, nostalgia, or just plain ‘ol awesomeness. I have never sat in a movie and laughed so hard my stomach hurt, cried so hard my head hurt, was so excited I literally almost jumped out of my seat, and at the end…watching the credits roll…was absolutely speechless.

This movie was everything I knew I needed, and so many things that I didn’t know I needed until they were given to me. There was never a moment when I wasn’t fully, 100% engaged. And in fact, although the movie is over three hours long, I never took a sip of water, ate a single piece of candy, or had to pee. These things had no place in the world of the MCU, and that is where I was. Firmly planted in the middle of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, surrounded by old friends, in a tight Russo Brothers embrace.

I had theories about what would happen, I had wishes for the return of the people that Thanos snapped away, and I had fears based on the ending of actors contracts and rumors…but more than anything, I had hope that this movie would be as good as I needed it to be. I was not disappointed. It reached, and in fact exceeded, my expectations. From the incredible acting to the beautiful costuming, to the way both old and new situations were handled, it was a whirlwind experience that I still haven’t fully processed.

But I will say this; I’ll be seeing this movie again, soon. And then again, and again, because I truly feel that no matter how many times I see it, I’ll only grow to love it more. The Russo Brothers are geniuses, and they brought the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe together in a practically perfect way.
