And it's not like I've never seen any movies before. Like.... just.. I can't even comprehend how something like this exists. How is it possible Feige signed on all of this. Jeeesus
Odeon in the UK are giving neat posters for anyone who see's it if anyone needs more motivation
This really did feel like the earned culmination of 10 years of work. It feels like the other movies have been 10 years of preparation so you audiences see ridiculous conceits ripped straight from the comics and not roll their eyes at it.
It has to be the fullest representation of superhero comics ever.

Can confirm, you might get scared for a moment at least. Can't say more than that.
I wasn't... unenthused about this movie, but I didn't feel a lot of pressure to rush out and see it ASAP and that I'd really be missing out if I wasn't active in the zeitgeist. BUT, after reading some reviews and the impressions in this thread, I am hyped beyond belief!!
Gonna try to squeeze into a 10:30 showing at my neighborhood theater with Moviepass. It's a smaller theater and usually doesn't sell out with presale. As long as I check in a half hour early I should be fine. But then again, maybe this is the film that proves the exception!

I was wondering how this movie might feel like the culmination of 10 years worth of movies if it's just half the story, but that makes sense. And I do remember the Russos or the writers mentioning years ago how what they were planning for Infinity War might seem really out there circa 2015/2016, but by the time you'd digested all the movies between then and now, you'd be acclimated to whatever crazy shit they put on screen.
It's dark, but there's enough humor to not feel miserable.
I can think of two such scenes. They're not very intense but they could be classified as jump scares.
Mordo will apparently be getting the Loki treatment and won't be the primary antagonist in the sequel, but will instead have a multimovie arc like Hulk/Banner. Nightmare is the likely villain for a Strange 2 if we get another solo Strange movie.
Phew. I'm pretty sensitive to it, but of course I'm still gonna watch the movie. I just like having a heads up on these kind of things so thanks a lot!
I can't remember any of these. What jump scares?
edit: scratch that it's not the spoiler thread
Thanks for the replies on the humor guys! Eases my concerns a fair bit. I always hate when something that could've carried a lot of weight gets undercut.
I foolishly decided to wait to get tickets, so the earliest (Lie)imax screen I could get tickets for was Sunday. It's fucking torture seeing all these spoiler threads and not being able to venture into them. I can't wait to see this movie. Only marvel movies I didn't see in theaters were Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 3

Forget about whatever boring things you had planned tonight. Go see this movie, it's incredible!
Absolutely. Marvel raised the bar so high that it's dwarfing the stratosphere now.
I don't know
I went in with solid expectations for the movie; really liked Spider-Man Homecoming, Black Panther and Thor Ragnarok, didn't like GOTG2 - love Winter Soldier and thought Civil War was alright.
I also love The Last Jedi, for what that's worth.
Feel disappointed with the movie.
In non-spoiler terms; I expected better - and hope they pick things up in the next movie. Seeing as they're going back to a solo movie with Cap Marvel, I'm hoping it might fix the bloat problem this had.

I'm not sure whether I was expecting everything to fall into place better than it did or characters to be handled with deft like they were in their own movies, but the film came off like a whole lot of nothing.
There's a lot of scenes of characters interacting with one another and they eventually pair off the most interesting groups - but these groups don't have the kind of chemistry that the Avengers, Winter Soldier or even Ragnarok had, nor have any kind of memorable moments. All those characters in that run time was going to be a stretch to balance - and while Civil War felt like the test run for this, I feel like they had managed it better there than here.
No one really changes over the course of the movie or had any real time to shine - apart from maybe Thanos. The problem was that this villain wasn't as compelling as the film seemed to think he was, or was interesting enough to hang a lot of scenes on.
if I had to give anyone the MVP - it's Thor. Any scene with him in it was a delight, as well as his cohorts. I hope they decide to keep this aspect going in future films.
The reason I'm focusing so much on the characters is because the plot is serviceable. It's a horror movie where your slasher victims are infinity stones - and while this works for the most part, with lots of excellent action choreography and lovely cgi, I can't see it sticking in the mind the way BP's villian, Winter Soldiers intrigue or the Avengers build towards action did. When I said a whole lot of nothing - a lot of these characters actions don't actually build to anything - maybe fighting some dudes to protect a stone and that is it.
But
I want to know how they resolve the bonkers ending, or at least how that shapes the next few films the way that the end of Winter Soldier and Civil War did.

And brave the opening night crowd of crazy people? Ya no thanks, I'll check in Saturday morning as planned.
A responsive audience is great - the collective laughs, gasps and cheers enhances the viewing experience for me.
Opening night, or at least the first few nights, is the best way to view these films. Everyone just gets it.
Maaaan. I have a feeling I'm not going to enjoy my first viewing all that much.
It's 7 and I'm already tiiiiired. My movie doesn't start until 10:40 (so really, 11pm after previews). I can already tell I'm going to be exhausted going into the 2 and a half hour explosion of a film.
I wish I could get a nap in before going.
