    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Was hoping to get into its Thai press screening like Infinity War last year (more because of the great atmosphere than the earliness), which would be around Tuesday morning by US time. But looks like it will be around Wednesday very early morning instead.

    Hard to believe, but it's RT score is 97% at the moment. Infinity War was 86 for reference.

    4 more hours for meeeee

    This being 3 hours is a lot, but I’m at least slightly reassured by David Ehrlich the MCU skeptic, who gave Infinity War 2/5, giving this 4/5.

    Man I so love Whedon's directing of these things it's a struggle whether to put Ultron or Endgame at #4, but for now the latter's ending tips the scale.

    I hear that. This movie has got to really impress me for me to put it higher than Whedon's films.

    Apprehensive about the 3 hours at first, as much as I like the MCU in general. But it turns out this longer running time is used more judiciously than Infinity War, which at times gets frantic to the point of exhaustion, and at the expense of cohesion, due to the need to set up a meeting point of so many characters and universes, all the while putting them through a plot of its own. It is an entertaining, impressive feat of traffic control more than a fully satisfying film on its own, although it has a nifty villain and a pretty amazing conclusion.

    Using the longer time to explore the consequences of that ending fully, without the almost sweatily rushed speed of its precedessor, Endgame ebbs and flows as a film much better, with the added benefit of a cohesive, unifying thread of survival guilt and overwhelming regret running throughout. Infinity War's plot over character reverses to MCU's primary strength here, character over plot; a side benefit of the cast being reduced in half, perhaps.

    This is especially true of the film's first hour, which, after a quick continuation of Infinity War's closer, luxuriates in the lives and emotional scars of the remaining Avengers mournfully (but not dourly, there is a lot of humor in this part without undercutting their grief), almost to the point of post-apocalyptic hangout vibe at times. This helps give so much heft to their risky (and fun) mission in the second hour, which structurally resembles Infinity War's fractured jumping around, but done better and more gracefully. It also grounds the often workmanlike, CGI battle royale in the third act into something more tangible.

    Truthfully, after seeing many Avengers converging and fighting along each other in Infinity War, I admit to the sight losing some freshness in this second part (even though the Russos manage more striking and beautifully comic book-inspired compositions than last year). But this is why that first hour is so crucial; we see the Avengers in their lowest, in their attempts to rebuild some semblance of a life after devastating catastrophe, and in their intense, barely afforded hope for another chance to fix this. Those character-oriented details let us feel the gravitas of their mission in our gut along with them, even invests some of the more generic fights with real stake, and makes every crowd-pleasing moment and further gut punch land with considerable weight. Adding to it that this manages to plot a decade of MCU into something near a close, or at least a very satisfying stop point in this universe, and I'm almost tempted to rate this flawed film a little higher. By the time it resolves that first hour of regrets and despairs with a series of teary, touching goodbyes, this manages to be a worthy tribute to the universe it has built up indeed. 8/10

    Can someone PM me with all the major spoilers?

    I’m not going to get to see this in the theatre and I’d rather have it all spoiled on my terms.

    What's the over / under on what will knock Endgame out of the #1 B/O spot? Aladdin? Godzilla 2 1/2? John Wick 3?... The Secret Life of Pets 2?? My money is on Aladdin in the 4th week. Don't think John Wick 3 can do it in the 3rd week.
