I took the day off from work on Friday and will be at the local theater for the 9:00 AM showing. My daughters are SO MAD at me because I won't let them skip school to go with me, but I promised to take them the following Saturday and they were OK with that. I just need to watch it once by myself so that I have no distractions and can just soak it in. My plan to avoid having it spoiled for me is to stay off the internet starting around noon on Thursday. I think I can go 24 hours without any social media or other input so that I can sit down and genuinely be unaware of where the movie is taking me. My next day off besides Sunday is Wednesday. I don't want to be with a crowd But I don't want it spoiled. Decisions, decisions. |

Once sometime this weekend so I can experience the energy from the audience and again in a week during a weekday matinee to fully absorb details. |

Holy smokes. That was the most epic film experience I've ever had. Even more epic than last year by a huge margin. What I saw on film, I didn't think was even possible. I'm more emotionally drained that last year. Already seeing it again tomorrow with my wife.
I live in Macau, and I've never witnessed so much emotion in a theater here before. People are usually reserved at the cinema. Definitely not this time. It was surreal. I can't imagine how awesome it will be with American audiences. That's the only regret I have seeing it here.
I hate to gatekeep, but in my opinion if you read spoilers, you're just cheating yourself out of a once in a lifetime experience. Absorbing the narrative for the first time through simply reading a synopsis or worse leaks, just isn't the same. This film is clearly the culmination of the entire MCU rolled into one. It's a love letter to the fans that have invested their time in watching, and even though Marvel is going to continue after this, Endgame clearly feels like the end of a long emotional 10 year odyssey. Marvel could stop making movies today, and it would be perfect.
The Russo Bros. were clearly the right team for this job. Clearly.

People really care and are excited about this. That is fun. Even though I personally don't care that much about any Marvel movie that doesn't even have Squirrel Girl in it, it feels... validating to see people all happy and excited about superheroes.

Saw it today. Best MCU movie to date. Other movies have had better action, but the character work was the best of any of the movies. Only thing I didn't like is Captain Marvel, who did nothing other than talk about how great she is. With so much great character work for the rest of the cast I was quite happy that she was absent for most of the movie. Tony and Nebula in particular are wonderful in this movie.

I saw it tonight.
I liked it. I don't want to spoil it but here's some mildly spoilery opinions {Spoiler: Click to show}
I'm not a fan of time travel and there were really alot of divergent timelines created.
But I loved the big battle at the end - after seeing the Aquaman over CG cartoon-a-thon I really liked the effects at the end.
Didn't the "team separates on different missions" seem kinda JLA/JSA-ish, in a good way?
The mention of underwater earthquakes near Wakanda - a Namor reference?
And I wish there was more Cap Marvel in the flick. |

I am at the Friday 9am showing waiting. I’m surprised that they have no intermission to break up the 3 hours.

I saw it this morning. Would be okay to create a spoilers-permitted thread for Endgame? To me, that would be easier than long discussions buried under spoiler tags.

Wow.
I went in with sky-high expectations for this, and dang it if they didn't deliver. After a conversation with the guys at my LCS two Wednesdays ago, none of my guesses for twists or how things were going to play out came to pass, which means they did a great job at not being predictable within the confines of the story they were telling. 10 years of movies and I cannot imagine them putting together a more-satisfying finale to the first three phases of the MCU.
It's still sinking in, and I want to see it again so badly that I am actually considering skipping a large Magic: The Gathering tournament tomorrow so that I can take my wife and daughters to see it, mostly for them but also for me to experience it again.

I'll share my own Facebook post: AVENGERS: ENDGAME is a satisfying conclusion to a franchise that began with 2008's IRON MAN. It has heart, emotion, pathos, character-driven moments - and plenty of action. And, appropriately, it has humour in the right places. Because even during our darkest moments, humour can get us through it. It's good to watch a film that rewards long-term viewer loyalty - and which ticks all the emotional boxes. I feel I could not have asked the producers, writers, directors and actors for anything more. Definitely giving it 10 out of 10. Oh, and look at this: www.asiaone.com/asia/man-hong-kong-reportedly-beaten-outside-cinema-leaking-avengers-endgame-spoilers |
