Brie Larson takes a selfie with a fan at the premiere of 'Avengers: Endgame' in L.A. on April 22, 2019. AVENGERS: ENDGAME: 3 STARS
"Endgame" is, first and foremost, a fan service movie. From the sheer number of returning Marvel faves — characters number in the dozens, if not the low hundreds — too deep character backstory — superheroes have mommy and daddy issues too! — to the crew’s biggest world-saving mission to date, it indulges every aficionado’s story hopes and desires.
It’s in the third hour the movie loses its human touch, becoming a noisy CGI orgy that must’ve required the power of 1 million networked computers working overtime to render the frenetic images we see on screen. The film has a sense of self-importance that fans will love, giving the characters the respect that franchises owe characters who have made them billions of dollars.Emilio Estevez became a Brat Pack star hanging around in a library in 1985’s "The Breakfast Club." Years later he returns, this time as a grown up with grown up concerns.
"The Public" takes a long hard look at pressing social concerns. Estevez based part of this story on a Chip Ward essay about public libraries as asylums for the homeless and drives home the point with all the subtlety of one of Cincinnati’s icy winters. Lack of shelter space for the homeless population coupled with governmental cutbacks to social programs are urgent needs brought to life here in a colourful if somewhat cliched way.
Nothing from Hollyweird deserves any hype
