Marvel StudiosAs Doctor Strange said in Avengers: Infinity War, ‘we’re in the endgame now’.
Arguably the most hotly anticipated film of all-time, Avengers: Endgame had its world premiere last night (April 22) at the Los Angeles Convention Centre.
The cast, crew, fans and journalists all turned out for the event which was as glitzy as the Infinity Gauntlet, complete with the stones of course.
You can watch the trailer for the film here:
Those who attended have been sharing their, spoiler-free, reactions on social media which has so far been overwhelmingly and universally positive.
Brandon Davis from ComicBook described it as even better than he thought was possible.
He tweeted:
Avengers: Endgame is an astonishing, amazing film. I’ve never seen anything like it. This movie is everything I wanted to be and SO much more. Amazing.
While watching Avengers: Endgame, I laughed so loud, I clapped with so much force, and I cried so hard. The movie exceeds every expectation and is the perfect culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I just can’t remember a cinematic experience like the one I just had with Avengers: Endgame. Simply blown away. I feel like that movie was made for every Marvel fan, everywhere.

Fandango managing editor Erik Davis also said the film was emotional, so get those tissues ready.
He wrote:
Avengers: Endgame is a masterful epic – a true culmination of 22 films that not only concludes the story, but expands upon it. You’ll learn more about the other movies while this one unfolds. If Infinity War is the brawn, Endgame is the brains. And wow, what an ending!
Do not go in expecting Infinity War part two. The two films are so different, yet compliment each other in all the best ways. In terms of which MCU movie to watch beforehand… honestly, all of them. What an experience – what an accomplishment.
Not going to spoil anything at all, but I will say I laughed, I cried, I cried, I cheered, I laughed, I cried again and then the entire audience gave it a massive standing ovation. And then I cried again. Be ready, kids. Be. Ready.

Slash Film’s Peter Sciretta commended the film for paying tribute to the previous MCU movies.
His tweet read:
Imagine the best possible version of Avengers: Endgame and somehow the film still surpasses all expectations. I cried 5-6 times. It’s the most emotional, most epic, MCU film. A tribute to ten years of this universe and holy sh*t the great fan service in this movie. Soooo good.

When I described the reaction as ‘universally positive’, I really meant it.

#AvengersEndgame is filled with so much comic book awesomeness that you may not be ready! Great blend of action, emotion and humor while keeping the stakes high throughout. Truly an achievement in blockbuster filmmaking.

So I just saw #AvengersEndgame, and you guys aren’t ready for shiiiiit. All the theorizing didn’t prepare you for this. I cried a lot, I flung my hands in the air and screamed out loud. It’s incredible. #EndgamePremiereLA #Avengers #Endgame
