Surprised no one started one already.
As the subject says, let's talk Endgame.
I saw it opening night so I've had some time to digest things.
Overall, it is fantastic. I wonderful bookend to 22 movies. If the MCU stopped now it would be fitting.
Things that surprised me:
- Black Widow dying.
- Characters that were "done or dead" showing up like the Ancient One and Natalie Portman's character. The kid from Iron Man 3. Thor's Mom. And so on.
- Tony being the one to die instead of Steve,
- Old man Steve.
- Falcon becoming the new Captain America.
- Time traveling Thanos.
- Hulk using the stones.
Things that were amazing!:
- Cap using Thor's Hammer. Probably the biggest cheer in my theater. And there were lots of cheering.
- Thor dual wielding his Hammer and Stormbreaker
- "Hail Hydra!"
- When all seemed lost and the Dr Strange portals started opening and all the people that were snapped came through.
- Scarlet Witch nearly ripping Thanos apart.
- Captain Marvel taking down Thanos ship by herself.
Things I have problems with:
- The pacing early on. Didn't need to see Antman wandering around SF for 15 mins. Could have just cut straight to him going to his house and meeting grown up Cassie.
- Professor Hulk. I was hoping he would really Hulk out at some point. Never really got to see him fight. Past Hulk doesn't count.
- Plot holes (at least for now) resulting from unresolved time travel shenanigans.
- Fat Thor.
- Thor, Cap, and Tony not being able to take down stoneless Thanos.
- The all too staged "Female Avengers" scene. Not that I am against girl power. It was just too staged. Didn't seem natural.
Overall, I just loved this movie. And for the first time in years I want to go see a movie in the theater a second time.
