No spoilers...
How many have seen this? It is 3hrs 17 min long. I saw it yesterday with my cousin and his wife. We all enjoyed the movie and commented that it was a fast 3 hrs+. I had listened to some of the cast when they were on Kimmel before the opening night and they all had no idea how it all fit together as each had filmed their segment apart. After watching the movie I understand what they said. It has so many storied within this movie.
One small spoiler, I was happy to see them get a Stan Lee cameo into the movie. Nice tribute to the creator of these characters.
If you have seen the movie what did you think?

I saw it Friday with my step-father in California. They have an IMAX 3D screen near them and it was one of the few movies I'd say was worth paying extra to see that way.
I didn't get popcorn or a soda specifically because I wanted to make it through the 3+ hours without a bathroom break.
I thought it was very well done. They managed to tie up stories and characters from several movies in a very satisfying way, even if every story didn't have a happy ending. It also balances the action and emotion well.
And yes, Stan Lee always has a cameo in the Marvel movies. When I saw him in Captain Marvel and in this movie, I wondered if they filmed them before his passing or if this was movie magic.
If anyone is interested in discussing the movie with spoilers, I'd be happy to start a separate thread.

I went Sunday morning hoping I could see it but figured I’d wind up seeing Shazam and that’s what happened. I can’t recommend Shazam unless you are a kid. I just saw Captain Marvel yesterday and it was great! I plan to see End Game on Saturday. I would probably be interested in discussing it. I’m very excited to see it and have heard several say it doesn’t seem like it is 3 hours long.

But I'm glad I didn't bring my daughter because the monsters portraying the seven deadly sins were probably a little too scary for her. I especially liked the positive image it gave of foster parents who really care. Audiences generally see the down-side of foster care, which certainly exists, but there are a lot of wonderful foster parents out there who don't get enough credit. |

Wow. Avengers was great but if you haven't seen most of the superhero movies involved you'll be lost. I thought it was masterful writing. Most of our heroes had unresolved issues in their lives and some were able to get various degrees of resolution. There was a lot of great acting. I thought Josh Brolin as Thanos was exceptionally good. He was convinced what he was doing was for the best so he played Thanos with calm, quiet confidence and conviction. It really contrasted with the evil maniac everyone else thought he was. Of course there was a lot of drama and confict but there were also laugh out loud moments. I see why it's breaking all the records and proves that if they make a good movie, we will all go.
