88Comrade2000 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I liked the movie. Will probably see it a couple of more times and that's just this weekend. It's not perfect and some characters are fleshed out better than others but I really enjoyed my time. The action starts almost immediately and goes all the way to the end. Definitely, didn't feel like 2.5 hour movie. Spoiler I was counting the deaths and we were at 4 or 5, when Thanos wiped out half the universe. So, I knew all the deaths weren't permanent. Thing is, who's actually going to stay dead? Considering many of those Avengers that turned to dust have sequel movies coming out; you know they are coming back. I don't think one can completely judge this movie; because the rest of story has to be told. What happens in next years movie could alter what one thinks about this movie. I though the time given to everyone was balanced out well, though Captain Rodgers and Wakanda were little underwhelming. I think Cap and IronMan die in next years movie. The romance between Scarlet Witch and Vision, strains credulity a little bit. When the movie ended, I said that's it? I wanted more. I'll get that in the next movie but something about the way it just ended; felt abrupt. Thanos got what he wanted so far. Dr. Strange said there was only one possibility to defeat Thanos. How will that happen, have to wait until 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Yeah, if they retcon this in the next one and fix the universe and walk away with minor consequences or “only the deaths before the snap stay dead” then it is going to cheapen this movie. Those deaths aren’t permanent but some could end up being that way. This is just part of the story and thanos has now removed some pretty powerful chess pieces off the board. The finality of the story story next year must keep the stakes high and have consequences. Then we can look at both movies and the story they tell and judge them fairly. As it stands, I was blown away by this movie and what it sets up for A4. The moment with all the deaths was ridiculously impactful tho. Not sure I’ve even seen a reaction like that before, people just losing their **** at each character culminating with Spider-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I’ve even seen a reaction like that before, people just losing their **** at each character culminating with Spider-Man Spoiler When more than one person turned dust and some of the bigger characters vanished; I just knew that everyone won't be dead permanently. I didn't have the same shock value because I knew they can't just kill everyone in the snap. I think the original Avengers find a way to bring everyone back but some of of the original Avengers die for good. Loki, Heimdall and Vision are definitely dead for good. Zoe already spilled that she was filming for A4. Will Gamora be resurrected? Leaving her dead would have an impact. There's no way Black Panther or Spiderman are permanently dead. Doctor Strange could stay dead. Bucky could stay dead. The Guardians are coming back. How they defeat Thanos will be interesting. I think there will be some time travel element involved.

ixcuincle Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 As stated in a prior thread I booked my tickets well in advance on a 4pm screening on Friday. Good movie and you never notice how fast the time passes. Keeps you riveted right from the beginning to the end. Contrast that to a movie like BvS where the first fight takes place like 2 hours into a 4 hour borefest I was curious why Captain America never had his mask on. Since when does he go around without a damn mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I absolutely loved this movie. For me, while not perfect, it lived up to the hype and I was not disappointed. I have some quibbles, some things I didnt necessarily love, but overall, I was highly entertained. I noticed they basically decided to scrap Scarley Witch's accent. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Spoiler All of the good guys were stupid as **** and made actively bad decisions to keep the plot going, but otherwise it was every bit as good as it had any right to be.

I was legit thinking “oh come on wtf just kill his ass already” but I guess it added some emptional weight too.

That's the writers nerfing her will and determination in order to keep the plot going. ****, what was that, 5 seconds of interrogation? No one intervened to stop Starlord, even Nebula, who was just standing there doing nothing while he effectively destroyed the universe. I get that they were mad but, you know, kill him with the most powerful weapon in the universe instead of punching him. Banner was also a bumbling fool for the whole movie for whatever reason. I hated that. Most of the characters, particularly the Wakandans, seemed underpowered to some degree, but Banner seriously only got in the way.

The Gamora interrogation stuff was too short but they couldn’t really drag it out. She made the claim about dying before she knew he had her sister. She would eventually break and they just got to the chase on that one. Starlord being Emotional, dumb and reckless is kinda his thing anyway but yeah nebula should have stopped him. Was she even in the plan at that point tho? I didnt have a problem with Banner. Except his CGI head sticking out of hulkbuster at the end didn’t look good. Character wise I was ok with it. Without the hulk, he has nothing and was completely over his head the entire movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler You're assuming Gamora's will was broken by the 5 second interrogation and that she doesn't have her own plan in the works. If the infinity stones can make use of the Red Skull, maybe Gamora is somewhere as well. Perhaps she's in the soul stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Great movie. I was worried with so many characters getting screen time but they did a great job managing them all, even the lesser characters(Black Panther supporting cast for example).

Spoiler That’s true but in Ragnrok they were playing with the idea that since Hulk had been in control of Banner for so long (since AoU) that additional transformations might trap Banner in one form. Ruffalo’s even said since they’re not doing another Hulk stand alone movie he will have his own arc dealing with that struggle over the 3 movies.

That's where Thanos went temporarily when he killed half the universe. I loved this movie. Great job fleshing out Thanos' character. You almost understand why he is doing what he's doing, even if you think its horrible. Spoiler Loved the interaction between Starlord and Thor. I admit I almost got emotional when T'Challa started chanting before the battle and when Spiderman and Doc Strange died. I can only figure that in the one possible timeline where they win, Doc Strange saw that Tony survived. Looking forward to Captain Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
