I have to say though, this movie is one of the great cinematic achievements of all time.

Come on man.
it ain't the best cinematic achievement in terms of being the best movie of all time, but interweaving a decade of movies and like 20 characters into a coherent plot was unimagineable even up until they really started making this movie. there was always that undercurrent of thought that it was simply impossible to do this, and the Russos did it and did it at a 9.5/10 level

This.
I do think "high praise" has become too common, too loose, but this is one film that certainly deserves it.

When you think about the task if tying 18 disparate movie plots and dozens of characters together to work a manageable story, much less an outstanding one like IW did - it's really remarkable.

The fact that Iron Man is still standing would have lost me a good chunk of cash
i tried my best to avoid spoilers and luckily this was the only thing spoiled for me (and it was wrong)
also i saw a lot of memes with the disintegration posted so while not a spoiler, i figured out that Thanos wins and that's how people died
examples:
and a more clearly overt one

other than a bit of a choppy beginning, the movie was about as perfect as you could do within the universe to achieve what 20-ish movies built up to accomplish. it's fricking amazing in retrospect how awesome this movie is

I’m going with Captain America. I think Thor falls before Thanos, and then Steve Rogers picks up Stormbreaker and kills him, but Cap is mortally wounded in the process.
i think Cap wields the IG b/c he's the only person pure enough to trust with it and it consumes him. ultimate sacrifice, etc

All the characters were memorable but never overwhelming. The plot once it got stated drove itself. Remarkable considering the depth of it.

Rewatched it last night. The only negative to me on a second viewing is definitely Mark Ruffalo. The movie is damn near perfect but for some reason his acting is really cringy in this movie especially when he tries to be comedic. It just comes off terribly compared with the other comedic moments in the movie.
Both times I went to a 500+ seat theatre and both times it was packed to the brim here in Taiwan with all the showings at or near sold out. I think it is making good money still.
(Best thing here is no little kids are allowed to see PG13 movies at the theater I went to so no crying noisy kids
)

Mark Ruffalo can EABOD. I've felt that way for a long time, but going back and seeing his GMA interview with Cheadle where he spoils the IW ending, that did it.

I'm glad that scene with That's hammer wasn't forgotten. I knew it would be foreshadowing

My favorite part is the tie in from the beginning of the movie with Stark talking to Pepper Potts about his dream that she was pregnant, and then having someone he viewed sort of as a son in Peter Parker die in his arms at the end.

Strange, too; he's playing high stakes poker giving up the Time Stone. There's definitely a reason he did so; Thanos could not take it from him. As he said, something about "good luck undoing a dead wizard's spell".
Thanos has to go back and undo something.
I'm thinking Thanos can revive anyone except Gamora (would lose the soul stone if he did). Also thinking that's the one person he wants to revive.
Excellent points
Bet strange put a spell on the stone as he was giving it to thanks...

I saw it opening Thursday night, and one of the last groups to get in and seated was a mom with 3 whiny kids. Sat two rows in front of me. I was thinking "oh God, please no."
They were silent the entire time, just riveted to the screen. Even after the end credit scene and the lights came on, she had to prompt them to get up and go. I think it blew them away.
Or else she gave them all benadryl before the movie...

I once read a novel where God just left, and Lucifer claimed the throne in Heaven. Lucifer then realized that he now had a responsibility to keep things running, despaired at the cruelty of it all, and made things right.
I think they might be going that route. Thanos seems more contemplative and thoughtful than he did in his early cameos, like he's evolving.
What novel is this? Sounds interesting. Also once they have the infinity stones they can do whatever the hell they wanted to Thanos. Stop him cold right there in his tracks ESPECIALLY since there is stormbreaker and Thor. So yeah, it was a completely derp plot and writing moment.

None of the people there on that scene could have weilded the Infinity Gauntlet. The only reason Starlord was able to wield the Power Stone is he was half Celestial, and that power died with Ego. The only Avenger I think that is capable of using it is Thor.

Anyone could wear it... what the heck are you talking about? Gammora prove that Thanos could be killed heck Nebula was there and Thanos said so himself, she was very close to killing him.

For the movies, I thought the Gauntlet allows mortals the ability to wield the Infinity Stones without being harmed. Somewhat like Ronan's staff, the Orb which contained the Power Stone, Loki's staff and the Eye of Agamotto.
In the comics, I think anyone can wear it.

When Thanos got the Time and Mind Stones, even he began struggling with them. I highly doubt anyone there could wield it.

INt he movies you need a conductor in this case the gantlet. in the comic you can hold your bare hands over a stone and not get any negative status effect.

I would actually be willing to argue they deserve a best director(s?) nomination for pulling it off.
