Excellent movie. There was a f***ing kid crying in the theater through a ton of it though. The mother would NOT take it outside even though people were complaining. An usher had to lead her out...she came back ten minutes later, kid still screaming. It was ridiculous. There was another kid sitting right behind sick as could be and was sucking snot up his nose loud enough to wake the dead. After the movie, this guy's girlfriend a row away was screaming at him about how "Your stupid facts are just making me more depressed!" and sobbing when he tried to explain everyone would be fine in the sequel. When he couldn't figure out how to make her stop he finally goes "Well, it wouldn't have happened if Thor just hit him in the head!" and she goes "I AM NEVER GOING TO BE MAD AT THOR!" I was f***ing dying. There was a woman , probably mid thirties seat next to me full on crying as she was at a funeral and yelled OMG not Peter and let out a scream . A random guy yelled out to her , damn lady its just a movie . which got a good laugh from everyone But it's Peter, the most popular Marvel character there is, and possibly the most popular superhero. If she was in her thirties, it's very possible she's been a fan of Spidey her whole life, that's 3 decades of loving this character, and Holland's given great performances which remind you that Peter is just a kid. So all that emotion hits at once, after she's already seen the others die, and it can't be contained.

It was pretty heartbreaking. But yeah. She was like I hate this movie. All because Spidey bit it.

If we're comparing bad theatre experiences; I saw it at the cheapy $5 theatre here and I couldn't hear a f***ing thing the entire movie. The volume was turned down so low. Loud parts were audible but the quieter dialogue was almost indecipherable. I was thinking about going and saying something to some of the staff but other people kept getting up and leaving too, I figured one of them had to be saying something. I don't think anyone ever did. And ultimately I'm not the hugest Marvel fan so I just wanted to see the action and who died.
But that's what I get for $5 CDN, which is somewhere around $2.65 USD

Finally got around to watching it
Holy F*** that was a great movie. I love that Thanos wasn't just really a one note villain. He had some complex shit about him and was a damn tank out there in going for his goal
I can't see deaths like Spidey, Black Panther and a few others who died at the end being permanent but Gamora, Loki seems like they need to be gone. 2019 can't come fast enough

My guess is that the next film will have a much optimistic approach. Even in the commercials for this flick you could sense the somber mood and things that were gonna happen. Part 4 will likely have advertisement making you feel "kick his ass!" I forget where, but I saw a review which described this movie as really being about Thanos with the Avengers being just one part of his story, and then predicting that the follow-up will turn it around and mainly be the heroes own story about stopping Thanos.

If you want Hugo you got to give him a big check like they did in Transformers and he still would bitch about it That's out the door now since you can obviously just have someone in the red mask permanently

I bet you got a better chance of bringing her back She said she wants nothing to do with it anymore and it seems they are doing just fine with Thor without her as an interest

Ever since the first Cap I felt they was perfect with Steve and Bucky

I don't have a lot of sympathy for the griping of Weaving and Portman when they put on airs about being in these huge blockbusters...and then keep doing more of them! If you're just in it for the money, that's perfectly fine but then just cash the check and put on your stiff upper lip. The "I'm above this mass entertainment" attitude always just sits ill with me.
Especially when you have bigger/more prestigious stars like Robert Redford and Michael Douglas who went outside their wheelhouse and semi-retirement to gain points with their kids/grandkids (Redford also said he was interested in how a big movie like this is made and Douglas is back for a second time in a few months) and Cate Blanchett, who seemed to be having the time of her life making Ragnarok going by the gag reel on the blu-ray.

Saw it yesterday. Most walked out of the theater grumbling about all the deaths and cliffhanger ending, but I was actually chuckling and outright said aloud “Don’t worry, they’ll all meet again in Infinity War 2-The Search For More Monry!”

The thing is, neither of them have done any more. Since Weaving announced he was done with big budget genre movies he's spent about 75% of the last six years doing theatre work and the rest of the time doing Australian independent movies. The only "big" movie he's done since is Hacksaw Ridge, which obviously leans more towards "serious" cinema than mass entertainment blockbuster. Portman doesn't even have that to hold against her. She's done a handful of independent movies and the Jackie Kennedy biopic, but otherwise stuck with producing. Annihilation is the closest she's done to mass entertainment, and even that was relatively low budget and doesn't really fit the mould of being easily an accessible popcorn flick.

It’s funny... everyone is talking about how their audiences reacted and except for a few moments, I missed that. There were only 25 or so people in my screening (last one of the day on Friday due to work), far smaller than what I had for Black Panther. Panther was packed and diverse and it pulsed. It felt so much like I was a part of something bigger and communally sharing something. It’s the only thing this... missed. True, we got a SMALL pop when Cap returned and a bigger pop with Thor arriving in Wakanda, plus a VERY big gasp when Tony got skewered (the whole crowd, myself included, bit on that one). But I craved more. I wanted some more reaction, more fist pumps, more cheers, more tears. Nothing obnoxious, but by the end, come on, it’s WrestleMania baby, get into it!
Why I’m trying again with an IMAX 3D screening, mostly sold out, this evening. Hopefully three days of release doesn’t subdue too much.

The Marvel movies are the ones they came back to blockbusters for and complained about blockbusters again.

My one regret is that I didn't do this in my still packed, dead silent theater after the post credit bumper.

Some theories to put out there (Some more likely than others): Gamora is not dead - she's trapped in the Soul Stone (And the plot of Guardians 3 might be them trying to get her back) Strange made Thanos THINK he'd won - by trapping him in the Mirror Dimension (That effect happens during their fight on Titan). That's why he wasn't too bothered about giving him the Time Stone because he knew it was just an illusion. What happens after that is from Thanos' perspective in the Mirror Dimension. Cap and Iron Man will try and find the Stones themselves, leading to Cap fighting the Red Skull for a final time - and he does sacrifing himself for Tony the way Gamora was "sacrificed" for Thanos (That could also keep Cap inside the Soul Stone if they want to bring him back). Captain Marvel will end up both using a new Infinity Gauntlet to reverse what Thanos had done and then fight him. By the end of the movie she'll be the leader of The Avengers. If there’s any scene between Cap and the Skull in the next movie I can guarantee that they don’t fight. Both of them have grown since the First Avenger. Skull seems to have changed his views on the world since being cursed for eternity by his obsession with the Infinity Stones. I could see him having a change of heart and actually helping the good guys...or we really do get a bad ass fight.

Weaving complained about Transformers, yet still did Captain America and The Hobbit. Portman complained about Star Wars, yet still did the Thor movies. The Marvel movies are the ones they came back to blockbusters for and complained about blockbusters again. Portman's issue with Star Wars was specific to the end product of the movies themselves and how poor they made her look, not working on big budget productions. She didn't say she had had her fill of big productions until after Thor, when she decided that she'd rather do more serious acting and concentrate on family. She agreed to come back for Thor 2 when Marvel agreed to give Patty Jenkins the director's job, and when it was too late for Portman to back out without a legal battle Jenkins was fired. Weaving announced he was done with big productions a year after First Avenger. His part in Transformers was done at that point, and the Hobbit movies were cameos that took him a couple of days to film. It's not as if he was giving up months of his time for something he didn't give a shit about for the sake of a big paycheque, which is the basis for his original complaint.
