20 Best Movies Of 2019

3. Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Endgame was the most over-hyped movie in the history of movies. It had a whole year to sit on the end of Infinity War and a whole year of fans speculating, drinking in rumours and leaks and wanting to know how that cliffhanger was resolved.

Remarkably, the Russos' Infinity Saga-ending epic pulled it off and became the perfect end to that first era of the MCU. It was the perfect marriage of humour, heart and sublime spectacle, drawing specifically from the visuals of the comics - and huge splash pages in particular - and yet, it also somehow managed to balance that universe-threatening story with something that was deeply, deeply personal one.

The last hour is some of the best spectacle film-making of all time and the emotional full-stop is still difficult to think about. That's true majesty.
