An 8.5/10. A really good movie but I too preferred Infinity War....and maybe the original...maybe. I'd give Endgame ***/4. I think history will look back just a bit more fondly on IW and Avengers 1, as well. But not by a ton. Agreed, Endgame has some mind blowing moments but IW is the superior film. I could watch TWS, IW, GOTG and Avengers on a loop, not sure I'd quite put Endgame in that category.

I put Endgame in the same category as BP, which is one level below my top tier which has TWS, IW, GOTG and the original Avengers.

Now that phase three is complete (technically Far From Home is in there, but whatever), I really need to sit down and reevaluate my rankings. The MCU has been all over television since Endgame came out and I've had a chance to rewatch some of the films I hadn't seen in a while. I have more issues with Age of Ultron than I had previously, for example.

9/10. Probably the best one yet. And that is saying so much.
Say, where’s DC-Fan?

Do you think the emotional buzz and overpowering love for Endgame finally scare the guy away?

To be fair, regardless of how good a movie is if I watched in in the first 3 rows then mediocre is probably the best praise I can give.

1/10 - The time travel made no sense at all.

Just saw it. Freakin' awesome! People in the audience were sobbing during Tony Stark's funeral, and a standing ovation at the end of the movie. I've never seen that before.
RDJ definately deserves an oscar nod.

That’s about right. Just a middling effort in every respect. It makes me wonder if there’s an earlier script idea that had an actual story that Feige rejected or something. Otherwise I have no idea what the point of Infinity War was.

To be fair, regardless of how good a movie is if I watched in in the first 3 rows then mediocre is probably the best praise I can give. We were in the very back row seats 14 & 15 to the side of the projector window a couple feet up & right of me. Theater very quiet Last time people reacted more (2nd night-11pm Friday 4/26? 27? Not looking it up). This was strangely silent. I checked. Nope. No collector popcorn buckets. They sold out in 2 hours preview night(thursday) Come on. 2 hours? I'm doing better with McDonalds toys. Got Hulk, Antman, Rocket, Thor, Cap, Clint, Widow, Ironman, Panther, War Machine, & Nebula out of 24 Wait. I looked at the box. Stupid marketing article said 24... 14. So I need 3. Time travel Clint Barton must be a variant (there are 2 mystery ones) I need another variant, Thanos & Carol. But...I need Ronin... Why am I counting 11 when I need 4? Ah. Panther isn't on the list so he's a variant Really? 2 Hawkeyes & no Bucky or Falcon?

A 1st viewing: + - Its levity was great, & just as soon as it felt would take over the whole proceedings, the film eventually did bring back the heavy. Hindsight there simply wasn't room in that final act to laugh much, so frontloading the jokes was fine. Rocket's 'BOOM!' quip was a huge winner for my audience, that was f'n gloriously perfect. To be honest, I appreciated the aged Avengers having to suit up one last time, reminded me a lot of Watchmen. - Thor. Wow, if you had described him last year as a spoiler I would've been mightily afraid. As it is, it went full throttle levity & humour akin Ragnarok which Hemsworth as all in for. Instead of being perfect cosmic specimen, he's Lebowski! - Banner. Instantly thought they'd gone too far, introducing his new self with nothing but humour. I might've expected a more pained backstory, & yet after a few scenes it makes perfect sense. I will have to research stuff online if there ever was a fat Thor & how Hulk merged himself. - Ant-Man cements his legacy in this Infinity Saga. Pretty much pivotal to most every act in this movie. - One of the finest time travel films, & completely went the LOST route of odes via 'flashbacks'. Cap's fight with himself was awesome 'I can do this all day.' 'Yeah, I know.' another great self deprecating gag. What clinched its effectiveness was Cap's elevator scene 2.0. They weren't merely going to quip with the time travel, they were going to drill down. - Joe Russo playing MCU's first openly gay character. Good all around, the director probably volunteering as lightning rod for all the snowflakes hiding online afraid of Falcon or Bucky coming out. - Nat & Clint's fight was incredible. Fighting to kill themselves for everyone else, & done with sincerity & seriousness. - Stark's death was this Infinity Saga's bookend done near flawlessly. I only wish he'd had a final breath of moment with Rogers who was merely in the group as witness. - The denouement was delivered wonderfully. Funeral scene with the entire MCU ensemble, & Roger's final bow. Having Bucky wish Sam the final 1-1 & becoming CA with Bucky witness was brilliant.
- - Finales like this leave little room for dramatic upswing, a la LOTR:ROTK, as there's no path left to travel. EG's 2nd half action of everything & the kitchen sink was a blast, & yet it felt less heavy because we all pretty much already knew the result. - The girl power moment of sorts was fine, & yet it stuck out all the same. Snowflakes will be making threads about it 15yrs from now, even though it was a such a fleeting moment after their joined team up. - I couldn't avoid a washroom break, I went during Hank Pym's scene. - Strange for an earlybird 10:30am first 'day' showtime, a good 70% of ppl began leaving right as credits began rolling. Not sure if they've been onboard the full MCU experience or not, yet they missed the grande cast roll & gave up staying for potential post-credits moment. (yeah I'm sure there are spoilers online, but that's a lot of ppl who bailed)
2nd viewing tonight... - Steve & Sam's final scene was the emotional leveller for me still. That thing is ROTK you bow to no one for me. Steve & Sam were best friends all along the journey, unlike Steve & Tony who were at odds the majority of the time. - I officially now prefer Infinity War because the journey is always more epic + Brolin as Thanos was f'n awesome & I realized tonight just how much more I wanted his Thanos on-screen. - Already had a Mandela effect of my initial viewing, that they defeated Thanos. Well, no, they vanished him, yet even Thanos punched the indestructible Captain Marvel's lights out. No one could literally defeat Thanos, that's a very strong legacy for a very strong cinematic boss. - Post SM Far From Home trailer #2, Tony's glowing praise for the future & what the cosmos holds now plays straight up a promo for the next phases of MCU. - Thorbowski was a lot less jarring this time. I think knowing he's now an Asguardian of the Galaxy, that joke lands better. - The movie soared by at lightning speed. Holy cow, & here I was thinking it'd be a grind with familiar territory waiting for high spots. - Favreau's funeral scene felt like a kept deleted scene. It played with more gravitas as he was the one who directed Iron Man into the stratosphere in the first place. - When I went for my washroom break first viewing, I went during the Pym stuff. I missed Steve seeing 1970's Carter. A nice easter egg for me tonight.
My next viewing, first home viewing, will almost certainly be the blu commentary. I want that to be the first home personal experience. I'll admit, cinematic journeys intrigue me more... 1. Age of Ultron, 2. Infinity War, 3. The Avengers, 4. Endgame.
