Marvel fans have reason to get excited, as the early reviews for Avengers: Endgame are here, and they’re positively glowing.

On Monday night, the film had its first ever showing in Los Angeles, attended by a number of its key players, including Brie Larson, Chris Evans (the American one, that is), Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth.

Also at the event were a number of journalists, and while their reviews are still under embargo at the time of writing, they have shared some of their thoughts about the film on Twitter, with words like “mind-blowing”, “extraordinary” and “epic” all being thrown around.

Here’s a sample of what the critics are saying about Avengers: Endgame so far...

Just watched Avengers: Endgame. I don’t believe hyperbole is possible for this movie. It is the ultimate Marvel movie in every way possible and words cannot describe how epic it is. And yes, Hawkeye is a rockstar.

#AvengersEndgame 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! pic.twitter.com/94ttBUQKJ0

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#AvengersEndgame

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.#AvengersEndgame

This can't be understated: #AvengersEndgame is everything you want it to be and more. I am absolutely floored. A perfect reflection on the last 11 years that pays off everything in the best way possible. Without question my new favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Stunned. pic.twitter.com/5LvFw9UEBQ

Okay, #AvangersEndgame is mind blowing. That’s all I can really put into words right now.

You really aren’t ready for #AvangersEndgame. All your theorising, guessing, rewatching, it just doesn’t prepare you for what is ultimately the most powerful and emotional MCU movie so far. Somehow they managed to surpass all expectations, and yes, I cried like 7 times.

— Regan Okey (@reganokey) April 23, 2019

I genuinely gasped so many times, I honestly cannot wait to see this movie again.

Man #AvengersEndgame kicked my ass. It was an epic conclusion to 11 years of films. It had laughs, incredible action and absolute emotional rollercoaster. It was the series finale for these cast of characters that I had been hoping for. Congrats to all for pulling off the feat.

— Kristian Harloff (@KristianHarloff) April 23, 2019

Imagine the best possible version of #AvengersEndgame 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 shit the great fan service in this movie. Soooo good.

#AvengersEndgame 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.

— Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) April 23, 2019

I just can’t remember a cinematic experience like the one I just had with #AvengersEndgame. Simply blown away. I feel like that movie was made for every Marvel fan, everywhere.

— Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) April 23, 2019

Don't know how any @MarvelStudios fan walks out of #AvengersEndgame disappointed. Movie is loaded with incredible set pieces and tons of small character moments that leave you wanting more. An epic conclusion to 10 years of Marvel movies. Thank you to everyone that worked on MCU. pic.twitter.com/HbXkwuYL5y

#AvengersEndgame is every bit the masterpiece it deserves to be. It’s extraordinary. It is a conclusion worthy of the greatest cinematic saga of all time! Congratulations to everyone who had anything to do with this film, or the 21 films before it. I am emotionally spent. pic.twitter.com/2Yiu3ZIimC

Wow. #AvengersEndgame is staggering. It’s surprising in ways I never saw coming and satisfying in ways I didn’t realize I needed. It’s kind of the ultimate gift to fans of the MCU. It’s very long and has a few hiccups, but is everything you’re hoping for and more. pic.twitter.com/RO97kw9fs5

Endgame serves as a sequel to 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, which won similar praise from critics, particularly thanks to its impressive large-scale cross-over.

The film will arrive in UK cinemas on Thursday April 25, a day before it is released in the US.
