I'm still processing this movie.

For me, this one differed greatly from Infinity War. When I left the theater after my first viewing of IW, I knew exactly what I thought of it, with the only question being, was that better than The Winter Soldier or not? With Endgame, I left the theater thinking, holy crap, that was awesome but I don't really know what to think of it. Seeing it again tomorrow, and likely again some time next week, maybe I'll get a clearer picture of the movie.

From one of the trailers, I pegged the opening of this movie perfectly. Didn't seem too difficult to think that was going to happen right off the bat - something had to explain Hawkeye going on a killing spree. What I did not expect in the slightest was the character arcs for both Tony and Steve. Utter perfection for what they did with Steve Rogers.

But one question - does Steve putting the stones back into place have any impact on the events that we've seen up to this point, ie, does it undo anything (say, Winter Soldier's events)? Or is putting them back as he did keeping everything in the known, historic order?

One thing I want to know if about the 2012 timeline (end of Avengers). We know Thor took Loki and the Tesseract back to Asgard, but in the battle aftermath Robert Redford and SHIELD were very persistent in keeping them on Earth. How did that little situation play out without violence.

That definitely leaves a CA/Loki film on the table.

Really solid ending to an epic storyline. Not a perfect movie (Thor fat suit) but it was a ton of fun. Loved the stark conclusion and the interactions with strange considering what he "knew". Good send off for cap...elevator scene was great. Really wanted one more hulk smash fest, but what ya gonna do.

I'll have to watch for that in my next viewing but maybe on other worlds, they are called Black Maw particles

Wow...... sorry have not read anything here so if I'm repetitive I apologize. I like to just air my thoughts without being jaded by anyone else's.

That was really really good, ok great, and I'm admittedly NOT a super hero movie fan although I see them all.

This one finally got it right - the biggest reason I've never been too onboard was the flaw with all super hero movies - no real consequences and the hero always wins.

But they got 3 things absolutely right here and that made this the first superhero movie to get me in the feelz - an emotional response from me. And these were all important going in or it could have been ruined.

1. the dead stayed dead (Loki, Heimdall, Vision and Gamora even though Gamora from another timeline is alive that's ok it still means there was an impact from their deaths). Never considered the disintegrated dead so that was fine and expected. But they didn't get cheap and bring back those 4 that had real deaths.
2. there was real emotional depth to the sacrifices here - both Natasha and Tony Stark were done really really well and it was fitting and again it meant something to a lot of people. Also Cap - a fitting end for him even if it is a happier one it is also a sacrifice of sorts (for us).
3. Captain Marvel did not just swoop in and save the day - she was a part for sure and maybe at that moment it was a little convenient of course. but overall she wasn't the super savior and it worked.

Other notes:

The final battle was so epic - gonna have to see it again and again to process it all.

My one eye roll moment was the girl power scene - but it did not ruin anything and they did not overdo it actually. I suppose it might even be a nice touch to some from their perspective (if you want girls superheroes which there certainly have never been many of).

Well yeah I just meant the IW timeline one stayed dead.

Except every seat in the theaters are full with a butt... that's how the theater I went to at 930 this morning was until close... sold out all day, it wasn't like that when I saw infinity wars... I had an empty theater

my 3pm show in Dallas today was half full maybe. bought 4 seats in a middle row about an hour ahead of time.

at best. the entire lower part was empty. around us rows were 2/3 full. this was a huge theater.

Looking back, I do wish there had been a bigger/longer battle scene

After seeing it twice, this is my only major complaint.

But what we do get is amazing. The guy next to me was giddy like a schoolboy when the dusted showed up. Just lost his *****

My local theater had 18 showings last night between 7p and 3am. All 18 were sold out, which included 6 showings between 2 and 3.

Posted a bunch of spoilers on twitter.

Our cinemark did not have 2 seats available not in the front for 50+ showings this weekend. Never seen that. But I also don't usually try to go to opening weekend.

I have a feeling this is going to give avatar/titanic a run for their money.
