Comments on: ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Review https://www.uclfilmsociety.co.uk/blog/avengers-endgame-review/ The home of film at UCL Thu, 02 May 2019 23:25:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.2 By: DeMarcus Delacroix https://www.uclfilmsociety.co.uk/blog/avengers-endgame-review/#comment-212 Thu, 02 May 2019 23:25:11 +0000 http://www.uclfilmsociety.co.uk/?p=17643#comment-212 Hi so in the first half of your review you just state that the film is bad without really saying why. Then you extrapolate from one line of dialog that you found cringe worthy that the entire film is poorly written, and then you go on a rant about how the ridiculousness of the premise is not earned even though you admit earlier in the review that Marvel spent 20 films building up to this.

Let me tell you a secret: if you say good things about superhero movies, people will still respect you. You can like both Marvel and Godard, and hating one or the other with no real reason doesn’t make you cool or fetch.

I don’t know what your role is in the UCL film society but if you hope to make it as a professional critic at any point in time you really need to learn how to support your claims and not be didactic. that way, even when you espouse an unpopular opinion, at least you’ll remain credible when expressing it.

All the very best,
DeMarcus
