I haven't seen any spoilers, but from people who have been spoiled they talk about how the ending is going to be divisive. I'm taking it with a grain of salt because most people haven't actually seen the film still. Not to mention there's always going to be the party poopers who doubt all the positive reviews and the butthurt DC fanboys who are envious.

 

If time travel is involved, I always expect things to either get messy for our characters or for things to not turn out peachy for someone in particular. The question you have to ask yourself is who do you think could suffer the most while the universe could go on. Like I can't see Thor suffering anymore after all the loss he has suffered and it's about time the Asgardians catch a break. Steve Rogers however, he's kinda that "soldier without a nation" character that could easily conclude once this monumental mission is completed. Not to say he has nothing to live for, but he has been in the fight for so long that it might be more like a deserved rest.

 

Which brings me to Tony Stark. You'll find a fair amount of people who suspect he'll die, what with being the longest running character in terms of the MCU. I suspect, or in actuality hope, Tony Stark retires. This would however open up the can of worms of who will replace him. In the comics, that hasn't worked in Marvel's favor with Riri Williams. Still, who's to say there has to be an Iron Man? Certainly, that idea alone would be divisive.

My only real prediction is somewhat general:

I'm not sure that would be final enough for RDJ.

 

Not that death is really all that final in comics anyway...

Was listening to a "spoiler free" review and pretty sure it still spoiled something.

So I saw it last night (or more correctly; super early this morning). So yeah don't click on any of my spoiler things cos.

 

I guess generic review: reviews are pointless, you'll either see it or you won't. No one at this point is "on the fence" for seeing the Infinity War sequel.

Yeah, you make a good point. My only reservation (though reality is often disappointing) was how it would affect Pepper Potts. She can never catch a break, though it's part of their dynamic. Much like...

Okay, here's my post-Captain Marvel and post-endgame ranking of the MCU:

 

Elite Tier:

GotG

Ragnarok

Spider-Man

Endgame

Black Panther

Winter Soldier

Civil War

 

Good fun tier:

Iron Man 1

Avengers

Captain America

Infinity War

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Captain Marvel

 

Meh Tier:

Doctor Strange

GotG Vol II

Iron Man 3

Ant-Man

Age of Ultron

 

Garbage Tier:

Iron Man 2

Hulk

Thor

Thor: the Dark World

 

Caught Endgame this morning and I liked it way more than Infinity War. It is a very fitting end to the 22-movie Infinity Saga. The theater was packed for my 9:00 a.m. showing, a mix of kids, adults, and adults who clearly grew up with the MCU. The movie is very, very much for the fans and it delivers.

I will undoubtedly have more thoughts after I it again in a few days with some friends.

Also every time the "American audiences whooping to the screen" seems like a silly media trope but sure enough you guys always referencing folks shouting at the screen n shit.

@deanb It depends on the movie and audience - different places have different expectations. I am scheduled to ser it again in an Alamo Drafthouse that has a strict quiet policy. This morning I saw it in a big chain cinema house known for younger and louder audiences for these sorts of movies.

Still processing what I saw and experienced. I don't necessarily want to go into a lot of detail.

I could discuss more, but my battery is dying and there's still so much to process. Definitely a Top 5 (or 3) Marvel film, hands down.

@Mister Jack Alamo is once if those tastes that serves food and drinks during the movie so there are theater workers always in the theater. The no talking and no cell phone policy is very prominent, usually in the form of lots of warnings on screen before the film as well as a verbal warning from your server if you tell him or her it's your first visit to an Alamo. Google Alamo Drafthouse no talking videos and you'll see the sort of warnings they give the audience. 

 

To be fair,  the no talking,  no late arrivals,  no kids,  no cell phone policy is a huge draw to Alamo for many folks,  so the audience is generally aware and happy to comply.

No mid or post credits scene this time. You can leave when the movie is over.

But shouldn't! (IMO). The credits sequence, especially for the main cast, is really quite nice and tbh I think you'll probably want the sit down for a bit to kind of process rather than just pushing out the door in a hurry.

 

As for noise literally saw in in a Vue cinema with no problems. Mark Strong sternly warns you before the showing so you damn well do as he says. But even in cinemas without Mark Strong never really have any issues. Gonna be one of those "stereotypes based on reality" type things. Laughing is about the only major noise you're gonna get, and certainly no whooping and hollering. It's not a participation event.

My thoughts

As far as American audiences being loud, it must be a regional thing. I have never been to a fancy theater, only big chain theaters, and I've never been in a movie where people were whooping and hollering and otherwise being loud. Very rarely there will be one person being kind of obnoxious, but I've never seen it like GOH's describing. The closest it's ever gotten was Black Panther, and when I saw that the theater was packed and there were maybe 5-6 people getting loud. I didn't begrudge them that in that movie though, because I know it had larger cultural import. Aside from that, the only time audiences really make noise is laughter, and it's got to be really fucking funny before people laugh loud enough for it to really be noticeable.

I dunno.  I've been to loud shows in several parts of the country.  The first loud theater I recall was for Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet in a small midwestern town.
