Avengers: Endgame [** SPOILERS FROM POST 613 **]

The White Wolf

If you haven't blanked social media (especially Instagram) I'd recommend doing it because the actors' accounts are being bombed with spoilers. Got stung again scrolling my feed and stopping at a Brie Larson post. Aye I know fool me twice I'm the dumb one but seriously what type of **** does that? And how are they ending up as top comments where's no way of avoiding them on Instagram?

Tbf if you didnt learn the first time......

For something this big especially given leaks have been somewhat minimal every arséhole and its haemmaroid will be desperate to leak spoilers. Stay the hell away from SM and Youtube and General Comment Sections of well anywhere.

Otherwise you run the risk.

It's not even discussion though it's just de facto spoilers dropped on posts unrelated to the content posted. I.e. being an intentional ****.

But yeah I know, stupid of me.

Just back from seeing Infinity Wars and the screen was backed such a good film with a flaw or 2 of course but it seemed a lot would be staying around for the midnight screening. Showing in 3 screens 1 been the IMAXX (Omniples Limerick). Unfortunately have to work so going @ 7PM tomorrow but could not get the IMAXX so I guess have to go again (what a burden to carry:P:P:P). There is only 1 way I think Ironman can get back to earth and the people who hate that caracter will riot she got to doo something. So until I see the movie LATERS PEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I am great full to Marvel for such a spectical. Amazing film from start to finish. Happy bed now.

EDIT: I NEED A DRINK FIRST.

Did anyone else really like the post credit bit? There's no post credit scene, and everyone else in the screening seemed to think it was a big disappointment/didn't catch it, but I thought it was very nicely done.

Lantus

Incredible movie, hats off to the house of marvel. Great buzz in the packed cinema. Gasps, applause, cheers, just wonderful. What the cinema should be.

I think it was necessary and provided closure on the Infinity Saga as a whole. I think any mid or post credits sequence would have undermined the finality of the series.

Sure there's a widely advertised Spider-Man film still to come but the Avengers films needed closure.

Drumpot

Do not read spoilers if you Haven’t seen movie!!!!


Biggest cheer in cinema I was at was when

cap uses Thor’s hammer

Think I might have to see it again before judging. I enjoyed it but after 6 hours of avengers in the cinema, I’m still sweaty, only getting home and a bit

sad that iron man and the Cap are retired

When good, it's very good, but has more than a few eye rolling moments that just stick in the craw.
Certainly has pacing issues, especially compared to Infinity War, with a flabby midsection (pun intended) bookended by a strong opening and a racous final third. That's not to say that there isn't a lot of joy to be found, even in the meat of the middle, but nostalgic trips aside, it suffers a wee bit in a pedestrian sense. Trim 20mins in a few places and it's flow would probably work a bit better, even if it meant sidelining secondary character narrative, it'd probably be a good trade.
Don't want to come across overly down on it, as I enjoyed large parts of it......Some good performances from the expected originals, funny (overly for some probably), dramatic, action-packed, a different take on the nature of

time-travel

etc, with a satisfying ending with closure and beginning both served.

Solid 7/10 next to Infinity War's 8/10 IMO, with both complimenting each other well, but Endgame probably lacks the dramatic impact of the previous movie at first watch.

Awesomeness

Simply perfect

Dammit, I heard there was nothing and once the signatures were finished I left.
Did I really miss something?

That was unreal! Loved every minute of it!

that battle scene isnstill givinf me goosebumps

I almost never go to midnight screenings but I'm so glad I did for this. Amazing film. Here are some generic spoiler-free thoughts:

- It is genuinely impressive how this film manages to conclude a 22 film narrative with dozens of characters without the script descending into a mess. It really was a Herculean task. But they have completely succeed.

- It may be three hours but wow, the time flew. I looked at my watch at the 2 hour mark and the remaining time felt like 10 minutes. I'd also struggle to see what they could trim. Every scene feels needed and serves some purpose.

- It is hugely entertaining, funny, exciting and poignant - just like all the best MCU movies.

- It also doesn't treat the audience like fools.

- I'd say a decent knowledge of the MCU is required to get the most out of the movie (which is only fair). Some of the film's best and most memorable moments draws on knowledge of events from past movies throughout the series. But this just confirms that the MCU is basically like a Netflix show except each episode is a multimillion dollar movie.

- One of my criticisms of Infinity War was the end battle which felt too chaotic and unstructured from a narrative viewpoint, which is why I preferred the smaller scale fight on Titan as there was a clear objective. No problem with Endgame, all the action serves a definite discrete purpose.

- There are loads of crowdpleasing moments ranging from just a whisper into someone's ear to the use of cool weapons.

- It would have been very unfortunate for Marvel to drop the ball for their Infinity saga finale, but they actually exceeded my expectations. I can't imagine a better conclusion to such an expansive series. There may be massive CGI battles but it never looses its heart.

- This does not reveal any plot details but describes how the audience reacted. I'll put it in spoiler tags just in case

I've never heard so much sobbing and crying in a screening since the ending of Wall-E

.

Everyone involved in crafting this movie should be thoroughly proud of themselves. It is an amazing achievement. Audiences couldn't ask for anything more. I remember when The Dark Night came out, people were saying it is a great movie that also happens to be a comic book movie. Exactly the same is true with Endgame.

Yup, exactly!

it wraps the entire thing up nicely, whilst giving a lovely tribute to where it all really began with the first Iron Man movie

Actually I think Stark's death was equal to the dramatic impact of Infinity War, if not more so. What struck me about that moment is that is wasn't sanitized. When he was dying, he didn't get a chance to say goodbye in person to Pepper or Peter. It wasn't like Spock's death speech for example. Instead, Tony was completely shell shocked. A man most famous for his verbal verbosity unable to speak. It showed the seriousness of his injury, the cost of his sacrifice and the ugliness of death. Really impactful and loads of people in my screening where sobbing quite loudly.

Didn't actually have a problem with how his sacrifice was handled, predictable as it was, it was well played out following a fitting reunion with Peter Parker.
But even still, a post-script from Stark was still required for the audience.

That said, it was well played out, as was the character work

around his daughter, though less sucessful for me was the meeting with his father, and the less said about Pepper's introduction on the battlefield the better (sometimes it's best to leave the comic books in the store as opposed to the big-screen), but again, it was the only way to get her present for the fateful moment.

Bit ham-fisted in that regard for me, but nothing terminal.
