Just got back and holy crap I loved it. Biggest reactions from the crowd were:
-Hail Hydra
-That is Americas ass.
-Professor Hulk smash.
-FaThor ("Eat a salad")
-Cap is worthy
-Half of everything Ant-Man said.
Other things were interesting. Knew Tony was going to die the second I saw he had a kid. Was not expecting the Bait-and-Switch in the beginning with them instantly finding a killing Thanos.
The women come together thing was weird. Half of them don't even know each and they all decided to band together for 30 seconds? Also where did Valkyrie get a Pegasus?

"Hey Thor, that kid called me a dickhead again!" That and “Take the goddamn phone!” got the biggest laughs out of me.

Oh, the other thing I forgot to mention:
The final shot of Thanos as a callback to and inversion of the final scene of Infinity War was a terrific touch.

I've gotta say: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The film finding a way to incorporate Cap saying "Hail Hydra" without doing a certain controversial comics story from the past couple of years was neat. I don’t even read the comics and I was on of a few people in a full theater that reacted to that. Kind of disappointing.... LOL

And to think, this all wouldn’t have happened if that rat didn’t bounce Scott out of the quantum realm lol. Also, while I actually liked the scene, the part where the movie focuses on all the female heroes immediately made me think, “Oh great, those people are gonna bitch again.” I really wish it didn’t have to come to that. I thought that part was totally badass.

I kind of wonder how all the people who were bashing Captain Marvel are going to take her in this movie. Don't know if they're going to go, "See, she was barely in it, Disney realized no one wants to see her!" or go, "Thanos was able to hang with Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America all at once but he can't beat Captain Marvel without the Power Stone?! When will this push stop?!"
... Honestly probably both of those thoughts simultaneously somehow.

Endgame marks the first time a character introduced to the MCU via a TV series has crossed over into the movies. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Edwin Jarvis from Agent Carter. Let's hope it begins a trend, as many of the actors from the various TV shows have made the roles their own as much as the movie actors. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}You know that bit when all the heroes appear from the portals to assist against Thanos and his new army? That would've been a good spot to sneak a few of the TV actors into the action and give them a couple of moments to shine. Just have Strange explain that he found other heroes who were inspired by the Avengers' example of doing good. Nah. I’m the biggest supporter of the shared universe. But Agents, the runaways and cloak & dagger all have their own stories to tell. I think we will see the Netflix heroes again, but I don’t want the stories going forward have to be locked into place because they have to shoehorned into endgame considering all of these shows take place presnap. I look forward with what they will be doing in the future. Now they are heading to Disney + and tv and the movies will build off each other more. Plus the Netflix heroes will be able to appear in less than a year and a half and agents is probably ending in 2020. Everything will be more streamed lined going forward. That said Jarvis was one of my biggest mark out moments of the entire movie..

So they killed Nat, but are making a Black Widow movie. Is that going to end up being a pre IW/Endgame one off, Bond-esque movie?

Soo... everyone who was snapped didn’t age, yet everyone else who wasn’t did... that means Peter and all his BFFs got snapped according to the FFH trailer?

Honestly that aspect is the one thing that has me kind of wondering about seeing Far From Home now, just because I've gotta know if they address or completely sidestep around the whole, "The school suddenly has twice as many people in it, who've missed out on five years of the world, and also according to the directors Aunt May survived the snap so she's probably a complete wreck at this point," issue.

Either Far From Home takes place before Infinity War, or Peter’s whole crew got snapped away and then brought back. The latter just seems a bit lazy.

I'd actually be super curious what someone would think of this if it were their first or one of their first Marvel movies. I imagine in isolation this movie wouldn't be anywhere near as good, given it's basically three hours of calling back to and following up on other movies and doesn't really explain much.

Well then it’s pretty convenient that Peter, Ned, MJ, and even Flash all got dusted. I hope they at least show a few scenes of them trying to catch up to what they missed over the last 5 years and adjusting to the new faces they’ll see.

Overall really enjoyed it.
We’re left with an Avengers roster of:
War Machine Scarlet Witch Captain Falcon Ant man Wasp Crippled Hulk? Retired Hawkeye?
With other members/guests: Doctor Strange (sorcerer Supreme is a busy job) Spider-Man (still in school) Captain Marvel (very much sold the idea that she’s focusing on space) Bucky (seems to be staying in Wakanda?) Black Panther (Wakanda takes priority over just chilling with the Avengers I’d think.)
Kind of a weird team, especially of it’s as small as the 5 probably nothing better to do people.

Something I just saw pointed out - somewhere offscreen was an incredibly awkward Captain America and Red Skull conversation.

Random nitpicks:
The captain America ass jokes seemed kind of weird and out of place
Doubt anyone in the theater is gonna get the kid from Iron Man 3 thing
The all the female characters team up moment was pretty harmless but was jarringly weird when you realize that most of them don’t know each other at all.
Leaving Vision dead felt real weird to me. I get it, but it’s still weird.
Cap staying in the past is a real nice moment but it doesn’t make a ton of sense. Especially given his knowledge that his wife’s organization is infiltrated and destroyed by HYDRA. Think of all the dinners he’d be going to with Pierce or times he’d run into Zola.
I definitely left the theater thinking that the death toll was too low, but upon further review of what’s left as an Avengers roster it isn’t too bad.
It was cool to see a moment of Sif being brought back, but I don’t think we got another moment with her. Kind of weird.
I really don’t know if the movie needed the huge gratuitous battle scene. I enjoyed it, but perhaps the movie would’ve been a bit tighter without it.
But this is all real minor stuff. Movie is definitely an achievement and quite enjoyable.
