“The Avengers: Endgame” (** out of four) was a disappointing final entry in this comic-book extravaganza series about the team of Avengers (Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johanson, and others) uniting to finally destroy Thanos (Josh Brolin) once and for all and restore unity and balance to the universe. More exhausting than exhilirating, as story drags at times and rehashes much of the events from previous entries, and goes on far too long at nearly three hours. Final 45 minutes when the Avengers and Thanos battle it out is fun for sure but getting there almost isn’t worth the effort.
