Was a fantastic movie on so many levels but was still disappointed. Quick thoughts.........
Putting aside all the time machine holes in the plot, it’s a superhero movie for crissakes, not expecting the laws of physics to be followed. ............. Spent the first hour watching them mope around depressed. We get it. But we didn’t need a whole ****ing hour of them moping around. Especially...... When they finally get everyone back together, most get one line, one scene etc. they should have allowed the Avengers they just saved more screen time in the movie. Should have expanded the battle sequence to allow them to participate more. That said, the final battle sequence was way better than LOTR final battle. One of the best ever put on film.

First part was a slog. After they get back with the stones and Thanos wrecks their shit it goes to a 15/10

Meh , it was okay I guess but a little disappointing overall . And I can't get over how the Russo bros okayed Thor being a fat ass whiny/crybaby little bitch in this smh. Seriously, that was such a stupid move just to get some cheap laughs but thats been one of my main gripes with the MCU . Always relying on cheap/stupid jokes to break the tension in key moments. Ugh.
I will say that when Cap summoned fat Thor's hammer , my audience lost it. Tons of cheering so that was hands down the high light for me at least. |

I rate this movie a solid 5 out of 5 Pym Particles.
I'll probably see this about 3 more times in the theater and time the pee break during the sad parts. IMAX is up next (this time was 3D). They wrapped everything up nicely. Very impressive effort by the Marvel Group. FAX |

Loved it. Had some minor qualms, but overall I thought it was great.
I'll always think you guys griping about the girl power stuff must be sad, lonely men or something. A bunch of girls in my theater started cheering at that part. Why's that a bad thing? |

What's next? We going to have separate parts in each Marvel movie to appreciate how awesome gay superheroes, black superheroes, trans superheroes, asian superheroes, old superheroes, fat superheroes and disabled superheroes are? It's just mindless pandering. It doesn't add anything to the movie. The Ghostbusters movie was unnecessary, shit like that, even for 10 seconds, is unnecessary. Just have your female characters be good characters. Let them stand alone on that merit. Leia did. Ripley did. Sarah Connor did. Trinity did. Wonder Woman did. They don't have to go LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! at every opportunity.

And it wasn't all guys. It was EVERYBODY. It wasn't all guys in every other frickin' shot. They had *gasp* male AND female characters in multiple shots multiple times! The thought of such a thing! Cramming "see! women can be superheroes TOO!" down our throats to satisfy political agendas is reeruned because that point was made decades ago.

This is going to become one of the highest grossing movies of all time specifically because they figured out how to get women to see and like comic movies despite centuries of social programming. It's not the phenomenon it is without that. What you guys who react so poorly to this need to figure out is why you feel so threatened. It's not like they have or will ever stop catering to you as a fan, too. They want your money just as much as they want everybody else's. And if they do continue to develop female characters and even - gasp - focus on some of them or even groups of them, they're gonna try and find ways to get our male asses into seats, too. And part of the reason there's so much focus on women is because there's been so little in the past. Eventually there will be enough female producers and directors and writers and characters that giving women that kind of responsibility, like we've seen with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, won't be new or novel or groundbreaking, and eventually we'll just have writers and directors and actors, without gender tags, and the focus can be on making good movies with the best people. Like it should be. Rant over. |

I thought it was great. Looking back, it certainly had it's flaws. It opened up a bunch of unanswerable questions with the time machine and what that means for the now real present. But this is a comic book scifi movie after all. Thor was great, I thought that character arc worked really well and was pretty funny. I really didn't like what they did with Professor Hulk. That came off as way too dumb and quirky for my liking. Disappointed that we didn't see any Hulk fighting and only goofy Hulk joking. Wanted to see more of Korg too. Wanted to see more Spidey. Can't nail everything.
