AVENGERS: ENDGAME (Dragonlord's Review)

[horc00]

Infinity War and Endgame remains 2 of the best cinematic experiences of all time.

Avatar is Pocahontas/Dances with Wolves/Last Samurai on psychedelics.

Wild audience reaction in this video is basically the same experience I and a lot of us had watching both movies in theaters. Thank God somebody recorded this type of reactions as it is fun to nostalgize(?) about the great times we had watching these films.

I remember a bunch of people, myself included, just sitting in awe at what we had watched after it was over.

Endgame has so much awesome fan service. Even if someone feels it individually does not stack up with the best of the best in the MCU (I personally have it in the top 5), I think he or she would have to acknowledge that contextually it's very impressive. It would be tough to envision a more satisfying cap off to what those first few phases of what the MCU set up.

Avatar was a fun experience, but, I honestly never had any desire to revisit it. It feels like the epitome of a film where I liked it but was totally content with having watched it a single time.

I watched Infinity War and Endgame four times in the theaters apiece. And each time was awesome. Just a phenomenal theater going experience.

Seeing them both on the smaller screen and without a bigger viewing audience, I think it's pretty clear to me that I like Infinity War significantly more. That said, Endgame is still awesome.

I cried. Twice.

I do not give a fuck.

AVATAR Re-release in China Overtakes AVENGERS: ENDGAME as Top-Grossing Film of All Time

Sorry, Avengers. James Cameron's 2009 epic blockbuster Avatar has passed up Marvel's 2019 superhero extravaganza Avengers: Endgame to once again rule as the top-grossing film of all time at the global box office, not adjusted for inflation.

Avatar's surprise victory is a result of the movie's rerelease in China this weekend, where it earned more than $8 million through Saturday afternoon alone, according to Disney. That puts Avatar's total box office at $2.8 billion, versus $2.797 billion for Endgame, which was released in 2019.

Commenting on the achievement, Avatar producer Jon Landau, said: "We are proud to reach this great milestone, but Jim and I are most thrilled that the film is back in theaters during these unprecedented times, and we want to thank our Chinese fans for their support. We are hard at work on the next Avatar films and look forward to sharing the continuation of this epic story for years to come."

The good news for Disney, which owns Marvel Studios — it also is now home to Avatar as a result of the merger with 20th Century Fox.

I overrated it in the beginning. The movie sucks. I feel none of it, and I barely did in the beginning. They just squandered way too much opportunity and went in a stupid direction. The time stone HAD to be involved in the time travel. Thanos and gammorah drama needed to play a part.. That was the set up that mattered.

The scene where they all return and hawkeye tells about what happened to widow.. It’s literally cringey. Like I can feel them struggling to keep their straight faces.

It’s not real good. Strange told ya stark was going to die, so there was no spoil there for me. Stark/RDJ overdoing it with cheese expressions talking to his dad in the past; less would have been more there.

I’m sorry.

Def not as good as Infinity War because IW focused just on being a really good movie as opposed to fan-service and making sure actors ending contracts go out with a bow AND setting up future movies.

I still loved it but the first half is like 6/10 and the second half 8/10. So that's a 7/10 overall score.

Endgame was good, IW was better (IMO); seeing all the MCU arcs come together, and experiencing the shock from the character deaths and "deaths" from the non comic fans was some Game of Thrones Raines of Castamure/Red Wedding level impact.

I lost all interest in Avatar when I read the plot outline. When I finally got around to watching it at home, as expected, pretty much every major turn of event in the movie was predictable.

Infinity War IMO is the best superhero film ever. Josh Brolin as Thanos completely takes it to another level and that ending scene is still haunting.

Endgame comes really close, but it's also a vastly different movie. The threat of Thanos was foretold ever since the Infinity Stones were revealed in phase 1, and Endgame was the perfect closure to an era. Viewers criticising the time-traveling are completely missing the point because Marvel wasn't just trying to solve the "snap" in IW, they wanted reminisce a decade of storytelling.

So instead of having the heroes sit around a fireplace talking about old days, they revisited the past by having the heroes relive those moments themselves from a different perspective, and letting us see how the OG Avengers have developed over the years (and probably also the reason why they didn't get snapped away), and closure. E.g. Smart Hulk getting embarrassed by his old dumb self, seasoned Cap fighting newbie Cap, Tony interacting and understanding his father much deeper in those few minutes than in his entire life growing up, and Thor having closure with his mother before her untimely death which he didn't have previously.

All that nostalgia culminating to the final battle with a crueler version of Thanos which was icing on the cake. IW and EG were the perfect combination of the superhero genre and epic fantasy.

Avatar sucks

James Cameron made some absolute classics, but he hasn't made a movie worth a damn in over 25 years

RDJ celebrates the 2-year anniversary by sharing a new behind-the-scenes footage of him waking up in the Soul World after the snap.

The MCU infinity stone saga was a huge achievement. So glad I’ve got to experience this. I remember watching the first iron man in theatres when I was in junior high school

 

[KnightTemplar]

I cheered out loud when Cap said, "Avengers...Assemble!", and so did at least half the rest of the audience. And Tony's death left everyone stunned. I looked around and saw the same shock I was feeling on other people's faces.

And bare in mind, this was an audience of Scottish people; we don't do emotion. We do alcohol

The pernicious influence of those bloody septics continues

We're all doomed.

I always skip right to “What’s up, regular sized man?” And Hulk giving Scott his tacos for these things
