Blockbuster doesn't equate to greatness.
But it can.
Further, greatness is largely contextual.
Gret at what?
And to whom?
Funny you mention Endgame, which was the culmination of an interconnected 23 film saga that not only stuck the landing, but contained one of them absolute greatnesmoments in the history of film.
"On your left" is on par with any crucial moment of any film ever made.
Sure, critics can get all smug because SUPERHEROES AND CGI AND SPECIAL EFFECTS OH MY!
It was a monumental achievement that connected with people in real ways.
It wasn't perfect, and there's valid criticism to be had.
But it very much meets the definition of "greatness" within the context of these types of films.
