Great movie. Definitely lived up to my expectations and they were set high.
First-half was my most favorite and the very end GotG scene + Thor was the best. All the fighting scenes was alright, just once you’ve seen one fight you’ve seen em all.
I’m hyped for Spider-Man now.
Also lol at the Captain Marvel scenes. Just how convenient.
Interesting, I found most of the + Show Spoiler + quite dull. The extended battle at end was dope.

If you didn’t like the middle section honestly I’m not sure what you were looking for. The payoff from the collective stories, the feels, all of it was excellent.

I didn't think it was perfect and I thought Infinity War was a better movie for the most part, but Endgame was still damn entertaining. Marvel and Disney has created a monument of pop culture with their MCU.
I just wish it had an intermission so I didn't have to lose out on a few minutes near the end. Same. I really liked it, but I definitely enjoyed Infinity War a lot more. I am curious where it's going to go from here. It's gonna be hella hard to match the same scale of buildup that the MCU was doing up to Infinity War. However, I'm not familiar with the comics, so I'm also curious if there are any other storylines that are worth big multi-movie arcs. It might be entirely possible that future movies focus on smaller-scale stories and heroes with only references and cameos to the rest of the MCU. Whatever happens, I think it's impressive to see how well Disney pulled off these first 3 phases of the MCU for the most part, and I'm confident that there'll be at least some good movies to come in the future phases even if they don't match the ambition of what they've already done.
The infinity stones are just such a good plot device that people are already familiar with from the comics. It allowed Marvel to create a bunch of mostly self-contained stories with a small, easy to remember plot element to tie them all together. It's very difficult to create multi-movie arcs that can cater to both people who only care about that specific superhero and people who watch primarily for the bigger universe plot elements. Even casual fans who only watched the movies once when they came out would still remember what tied those movies with the overarching plot.

I would give this a solid 7.5/10. The first one was better, in my view. Loved what they did with Thor, Cap and Iron Man.
Rant in spoilers.
+ Show Spoiler +
Why is Hulk such a pussy? For ten years or so, comic book fans told me that he is the strongest Avenger.
In Infinity War, he had the upper hand against Thanos for a while and then got his ass beat so badly that the didn't dare show his green face.
Then in Endgame, his GF dies.
How is that not a setup for a complete beast-mode Hulk that beats Thanos' ass? I genuinely can't remember if he even had a part in the final battle. Everyone got their redemption moment except for him.

+ Show Spoiler +He explained that when he was first introduced, and made fun if it throughout the movie, so I'm surprised you didn't catch that. Bruce Banner merged the hulk powers into him, so he could keep his own mind but the power of the hulk. Only problem is that Bruce hates fighting and doesn't really know how. He's one of the few original Avengers who's going to continue in the MCU tho, so expect more things to happen with this character.

Good movie visually and good action, but... + Show Spoiler +The time travel killed the story for me completely. Some people never learn. Wtf was that Nebula shit ? Time travel affects memory disks now ? Quantum realm ? From the point they started talking about time travel I stopped caring about the story and just enjoyed the visuals.

+ Show Spoiler +No I caught that, I was just annoyed by it and hoped he'd go 'full Hulk' in spite of himself because the rages becomes uncontrollable.
What's the point of a Banner / Hulk hybrid that can't even fight? May as well wear the Hulkbuster armor again.

+ Show Spoiler +to be fair he did get tucked up from the snap so not too surprised he wasn’t at full capacity

+ Show Spoiler +Full agreement.
The whole time travel - multiverse thing made me feel like the stakes couldn't be any lower. They have infinite do-overs anyway, so who cares. Nothing is final. The snap wasn't even final. Everyone's back.
Even when they tried to make it absolutely clear that everyone only had one flask of Pym juice, when Cap and Tony fucked up, they found a way to get more Pym juice. So even that arbitrary constraint isn't really a constraint to begin with.
So yeah, 7/10 is about right.

+ Show Spoiler +They knew where Strange lived and they went to that location.

Banner, Stark and Thor met Dr Strange at some place in NY, which happens to be filled with weird magic stuff, remember how Strange scolds Thor for touching some stuff. So they assumed there would be another SS guarding the stone there. Fair assumption IMO.

I heard from box office tracking sites that movies opening on Tuesday/Wednesday is fairly common in certain countries. Granted, they did seem like they really wanted to set the record. China went from opening 2 weeks later in Infinity War to opening on Tuesday this time. Too bad they couldn't open in Russia until today.

+ Show Spoiler +Yea, these are my thoughts. Can't say I'm a big fan of time travel as a plot device in general. You can make cool movies around it exploring ideas/concepts around it, but used purely as a plot device it's like a "meh" do-over type of thing.

There's already been people in this thread who hadn't watched it yet. Everyone has managed to keep it within the spoiler tag so far, so I see no reason not to continue. Should be double tagged when you start talking about characters not even in the movies yet. Come on, mods should be leading by example

This is the discrepancy between comics and film. If they had stuck anywhere close to the comics, this would have been an epic we have never seen. But we got this and they did a very good job of it.

The character i referenced is from comic books and has already been talked about in Guardians 2 when Gammora mentions Adam is entrapped in a cocoon somewhere.
The spoiler thing i don't know i can just mark this thread as spoiler free but that seems a bit weird as why would you talk about a film that is out when you have not watched it? I kept away from this and movie thread until i had watched it for example.

Yeah i get the comics are different and they didn't use any of the comic book lore around this epic saga much apart from the stones and the gauntlet. But why reference Adam Warlock in Guardians 2 and why apparently bring him into Guardians 3 (rumor) for which that film is now not out until 2022. Seems bit backwards

Good movie, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others. I wouldn’t put it in great movie territory but they did a really good job of it.

It didn't seem like they were expecting another Sorcerer Supreme, though it's not specified on whether they talked to any other sorcerers post-IW.
