Avengers endgame is the pinnacle of achievement for human society. It is the culmination of billions of years of evolution. It will separate your life into two eras: before Endgame, and after Endgame. When it releases, you will see people breaking down crying in the streets because they watched endgame two weeks ago and are still processing it. They will be processing it for the rest of their lives. If you have someone in your life who isnt planning on seeing it, you must force them to. Even if it requires drugging them. Once they witness it, they will understand. We all will. This movie will completely change human society.

My problem is that the movie makes clear that they are not really dead and so I don't feel anything when I know they are going to come back in some way.
Strange, I remember the movie ending with everyone in an almost catatonic state trying to comprehend what's happening. Maybe you're confusing the movie with your own expectations?

Because I do not do social media (save occasional twitter use) come 28th, going to stay the fuck away from imgur and YT home page (block that page as well as the Recommended section).

Those Social Media reactions are not trustworthy. I remember ALL the great initial social media buzz on Batman vs Superman, we know how it ended ( even if I was in the minority enjoying it ).

Any reviews from non nerd sites? I'm checking most of these twitter timelines and they were praying the the Avengers alter they made before they even saw the movie.

Infinity War had far more humor than I expected going in too. I'm sure it'll still be great.

The concern-whining about emotions in a film is baffling. Artists create, and they often create differently than we expect. Complaining about a particular emotion showing up too often in a film is just another way of demanding that it meets your expectations.

It's a terrible film-habit.

Since we have noting to mock about this movie, let's mock people's reactions and make fun of people for getting emotional and crying.

Big weepy babies, enjoying things and then crying about them. Am I rite, guys?

It REALLY is not. Have you even checked the article you shared? NONE of those tweets are from verified accounts or critics. Compare them to the tweets from this thread.
Critics reactions usually mirror their upcoming reviews.
Random fan reactions Critic reactions.

Remember when they said Hitchcock had been dethroned by Jordan Peele after they watched Us?

These chucklesheads always get overly excited, swept up in the moment.

Lots of reviews today at 3 pm PST/6 PM EST.

Keep in mind that there are a ton of press screenings today in bigger cities, so we won't see the full brunt of critical impressions until late tonight or tomorrow because of the quick turnaround. A friend of mine is reviewing the movie for Vox, and she won't get to see it until 5pm EST today.

Expect lots of reviews to hit at random times.

You may be right about people getting over excited but keep in mind that Russo Brothers have a flawless record in these movies. Judging by the Infinity War, people have every right to get excited.
Also, Russo Brothers are so confident in this movie that they call Endgame "Their best work yet."

Made yourself look a bit silly there.

Not as silly as Liverpool potentially finishing with 97 points and losing the Premier League.

But yes. That post was silly.

Hell fucking no. But that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, I'll wait to see impressions from someone who doesn't have Avengers movie posters in their living room.

I'm not sure what to tell you other than many of these people are not comic book people. Variety's reviewer has long been critical and even he wasn't scathing or altogether negative in his comments.

Don't take these at face-value, sure. But certainly don't dismiss good fodder for discussion.

Not just deaths but after rewatching Ultron the other week I honestly can't remember a single time the Ultron drones even harm the heroes. They are literally there just to be chopped down, in Avengers at least I remember Cap getting shot in the gut and Iron Man on the floor as several Chitauri beat him, I can't remember anything like that in Ultron.
At least you remember parts of Ultron. That movie was so nothing that I fortunately can't recall any of it. The difference in quality between it and IW was immense.

Do we have a review prediction thread yet? I'm thinking this sits at 90% average positive with a 7.2 average score.

I think it will be around 80% on RT. I didn't realise IW was 'only' at 85%, I think these films that require viewing of some previous films put some critics off.

Where is the OT? Don't care about biased social media impressions. Oh and there better not be a single joke during 3 hours, because it would make the major character death have absolutely zero impact on me
/s

Seriously though were is the OT? ^^ Seeing this in 28 hours and I can't fucking wait.

I've been stopping random people on the streets to tell them the same kind of stuff for weeks now, only got arrested twice.

I love this.

It's even better than Snyder comparing watching BvS to losing your virginity, except one person was actually being serious.

What did he say other than Chris Evans cried? How is that a personal take?

So you really did only read the OP and didn't bother to even check like... at least the rest of the first page?

If you're not going to read past a couple tweets in the OP in an impressions thread, perhaps don't make comments about the credibility of the critics.

It's incredible how some of you have this strange desire to discredit positive impressions.

People seek validation for their biases. People will ignore dozens of positive takes in favor of one bad one for something they are predisposed to disliking.

I want this to be as good as the next person, (bought tickets the day they went on sale for a Saturday IMAX with my wife). I just always get irritated with these overly bombastic seas of praise in the ensuing five minutes after watching the movie, they have to rush to Twitter.

I can't tell you how many times I've been utterly bewildered reading these twitter comments after seeing an incomprehensibly hyped movie. (The last one being Us)

Literally unrelated to the topic at hand.

And Us was an incredible film.

Sometimes, you'll disagree with the critics. It doesn't mean they're not trustworthy. You're writing them off for the sake of it.

Us was fantastic though

Something not appealing or clicking with you doesn't make positive/critical impressions untrustworthy. It isn't even a matter of "trust".
