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.
My butt is officially planted in the cinema that is about to play Avengers Infinity War.
My knees are weak, arms are heavy and palms sweaty.
I'm supposed to go see it with family this weekend but part of me wants to go by myself tonight and see it with all the fans
Mom's spaghetti. Edit: damn it SpeevyMy butt is officially planted in the cinema that is about to play Avengers Infinity War.

I know it always comes down to subjective opinions. I'm trying to accept that, fully.
But I still find it fascinating that we have so many die-hard fans in here praising it as the best MCU film ever-ever, and some big fans, John Campea for one little example, ranking it in their top 5, but not finding it to be exemplary.
Yes, that's how opinions work, so I guess I'm just pontificating out my ass, but there you have my thoughts for the hour.
For me, no MCU movie has topped Winter Soldier, and I doubt this will too, but it'll still probably be a top 3.I know it always comes down to subjective opinions. I'm trying to accept that, fully.

For those that have seen it, is there just one post credit scene or multiple?
People that came out of the premier said that there is just one.
I was wondering if they changed that and added another one for the theatrical cut.

I find that a lot of times when someone say it isn't "exemplary", what they really mean is "it doesn't do something completely unlike anything else". But even if it's a simpler or derivative movie, that doesn't mean it can't make up for it with great character, writing, action, overall beats etc.I know it always comes down to subjective opinions.

Same. It really won't hit me until I get in the theater but this is such a large event in not just cbm history, but film history overallThis is pretty much how I feel. Winter Soldier isn't just my favorite MCU movie, it's one of my favorite movies ever. So, my expectations aren't that IW will be my favorite MCU movie (unrealistic)... I just expect it to be the biggest spectacle I've ever seen on a theater screen - and it sounds like that is what it is.
Feel disappointed with the movie.
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.
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 have a ticket for IMAX 3D for 2:30 AM Friday night but I am thinking that is a little too ridiculously late and would ruin my Friday.
I just got another ticket for regular digital for 11:30 PM, but I am still double minded.
I hope i don't become one when seeing it. Super excited lol
Making Thanos lose his armor was a good decision.
I was not convinced at first but he looks good.
It's a complete film, but only half a story.I really loved it but it is most definitely a "Part 1" and anyone who says different is a liar.
You need to see Thor 3 because it's absolutely brilliant.
Yeah no kiddingit is most definitely a "Part 1" and anyone who says different is a liar.
