Avengers: Endgame" feels more like a Christopher Nolan movie than one stemming from the MCU. It's also, by far, the best 'Avengers' movie of the four released.
Interesting

NPR goes with a Cat Stevens lyric:
quote:
Mourning Has Broken Them: 'Avengers: Endgame'
Let's start with a bit of service journalism: Going into Avengers: Endgame, one would be well-advised to manage both one's expectations, and – given its three-hour-plus, intermission-less runtime – one's fluid intake.
quote:
Yes, on one level, it's just more smash-em-up superhero CGI spectacle, but it's spectacle so thoroughly grounded in a devoutly earned, hard-won and entirely un-dismissible affection that at one crucial moment, it is capable, using something as hopelessly cheesy, as ridiculous, as hokey, as idiotic, as childish as the onscreen utterance of a superhero catchphrase, of sending a lump to the throat.
That's not a thing that should happen, 22 films into a franchise owned and maintained by a bloated global mega-corporation that cares more about keeping its shareholders happy than any critic or audience member. And yet the sniffles I heard around me in the film's press screening were just as real as any quarterly earnings statement. Realer, on a human level. And they were a direct product of Marvel's learned ability, after so many accreted hours of cinematic storytelling, to target the emotions of Nerd and Normal alike with a laserlike, ruthless efficiency.
And if you're still balking at that runtime, consider: Of all the entertainments that take more than 3 hours to unspool – Verdi's Rigoletto, say, or O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra, or NFL football – how many can be legitimately said to boast a ruthless efficiency?

Apparently, even people who usually try to temper hype are going all in. It’s meeting or exceeding expectations.

Well Youtube is basically a minefield of Endgame leaked footage now.

I'm seeing a lot of complaints in the Reddit mega thread. I think once the hype dies down, people will really start to nitpick the film. Some of the stuff I've read makes no sense.

What's the biggest general complaint?

I think the general audience will love this film, but the more hardcore comic book/movie fans will be debating about this one for a while.

I agree with that. The GA doesn't debate films like we do on message boards

What's "spoilery" about it?
Posted on 4/24/19 at 9:42 am to MF Doom
I’ve only glanced here and there at spoilers on reddit so not to have any big plot points ruined but from what I understand, reading big/key moments in a sentence or two is completely different than actually seeing them.
If I told you before TDK that two face doesn’t really show up until the last 30 minutes and Batman takes the blame for all of his wrongdoing, and that’s it with no context, you’d say that’s terrible.
Then you see the movie and it’s like oh okay. Yeah.

Since you could say that about every - single - comic book - superhero - movie, I'd say no.

depends if he's seen the movie/read the leaks or simply guessing.
TDKR is probably a similar comparison to his statement, it has a high critic score and made a lot of money....However, if you read about it on here you'd think it was a total piece of shite.

He has. It's like telling someone to watch out for the twist at the end
