I saw it Saturday night in Imax. Definitely worth the expense. Here are my random thoughts on it.
I didn't expect Loki to die in the first scene. Hymdal I could see but not Loki. Hulk getting his butt handed to him by Thanos was fun. I am a little disappointed that was all the Hulk we got.
Thanos winning at the end didn't surprise me. Those that died did. I thought it was a mistake to have Spiderman and Black Panther "die" since we know they have sequels in the works. To me that removes any sense of dread from the whole things because you know that they will be brought back and presumably everyone else.
Thanos is now the best marvel villain by far. Sorry Loki. This was really his movie. I like how they added depth to his character that his comic version simply doesn't have.
I assume Dr Strange gave Thanos the time stone because that was the one scenario he saw where they actually won.
Iron Spider was awesome.
Thor with GotG was gold. Every time he called Rocket "Rabbit" was great.
There better be a good explanation for why Hulk didn't wanna come out after getting beat up.
Totally didn't expect Red Skull at all. Too bad it wasn't Hugo Weaving.
I think Loki, Hymdal, and Gamora's deaths will stick.
Given the parallels between Thanos and Iron man's story arcs, I think in order for the Avengers to get to use the Gauntlet to set things back to normal they have to make a sacrifice to the Soul Stone like Thanos did. My money is on Cap since Chris Evans says he is done playing the role in Avengers 4.
Thor coming in to the Wakanda battle after getting his new weapon was so epic.
I definitely want to go see this again in the theater. I rarely say that anymore.
Nitpicks:
- How did Captain America know where Vision and Scarlet Witch were?
- Where did Scarlet Witch's accent go?
- Vision was hit hard with the nerf bat. No way he should have beaten like he was.
- Tony Stark says it has been since years since the events in Avengers 1. But the Spiderman move said it took place 8 years after that. I read that the Spiderman movie was wrong though.
