This is a reminder that my movie posts are very spoiler-y, including this one. So you are the one to blame if you read this before seeing the movie. Go see the movie first, then come back.
Now, for the rest of you that have seen the movie: my comments.
- That opening scene with Hawkeye and family. Sigh. I had forgotten how painful it was to watch people turn to dust at the end of Infinity War, and this just brought it all back.
- Tears may have been shed more than a few times.
- Like when Scott was finally assured that his daughter was OK.
- Cheers to all of the references to "Back to the Future". I mean, how can you argue with all of the different timelines? It only makes complete sense to me. I actually think this is why this was my favorite "Avengers" movie with all of them in it, because I love time travel stories.
- Also, "Hot Tub Time Machine".
- I'm really glad that the most of the scientist superheroes were the ones left over so they could figure out this thing.
- So in the midst of all of the time travel talk, I thought, "Wait. Dr. Strange knew that there was one possibility that they could win." Is this it? I'm glad it involved time portals.
- "I get emails from a raccoon, so nothing seems crazy anymore."
- Oh, no, Thor. What happened?!? Haven't I been watching Chris Hemsworth doing crazy exercise reps on twitter for the past few months? Whose body is this?
- "I like this one."
- "There are a lot of other planets in this universe, and, unfortunately, they didn't have you guys."
- I really liked the white uniforms they used for the time travel. I want a shirt like that. Because I don't have enough shirts.
- His scenes with his mom made me kind of lose it. That reminded me of Back to the Future, too, when Doc didn't want Marty to tell him anything.
- I would have liked to see Natasha hit Cap in the face with the sandwich.
- Bruce Hulk posing for pictures with fans was funny. How did the kids not notice Captain America? I guess because he wasn't in uniform? But Scott thought they should recognize Ant Man?
- "So. Many. Stairs!"
- Tony Stark as dad was all kinds of sweetness. Tony Stark as son meeting his dad in the past was all kinds of sweetness, too.
- "I love you three thousand."
- Aw, Jarvis!!
- I said "Awww!!" a lot during this movie.
- I thought Cap was going to exit the elevator by kicking everyone's ass, but nope. Just two simple words that made many folks gasp in the theater.
- Cap fighting himself was awesome. "I could do this all day." "Yeah, I know."
- "Bucky's alive."
- "It IS America's ass."
- Cap with Mjolnir!!!!
- The sisters are back together! Gamora, how I've missed you.
- "It was either him or the tree."
- Then Black Widow fell in Vormir and many tears fell with her.
- PEGGY!!!! As soon as Cap closed the door, and I saw the "RTER" backwards on the door, I started to lose it. These were the scenes that got me really teary. Because I'm a shipper, remember? So his very last scene made my heart happy.
- "Up until this moment, I thought you were a Build-A-Bear."
- "Whatever, he eats trash."
- "...the chick with the antennae..."
- "Do you want to go to space, puppy? I'll take you to outer space."
- Valkyrie riding her winged horse was a sight to behold.
- "On your left."
- All of those portals opening at once was an awesome visual.
- "You missed me the first time. But the second time? You got both." Ow.
- "You took EVERYTHING from me!!!!!" A woman scorned. Whoa.
- All of the girls fighting together! YES!!!!
- I would like to watch "Asgardians of the Galaxy", please.
- "I. am. Iron Man." Epic.
I plan on seeing this a couple more times on the big screen, at least once in IMAX. Gotta wait until after this weekend, though, because some people need to see it for the first time. You know, before they read this.
Thank you for the fantastic series of movies, Marvel. What an awesome tribute to creator Stan Lee, to have these films as his legacy.
Excelsior!
I highly recommend seeing Age of Ultron again. There is so much in there that connects to Endgame. That's even where we saw the vision that Tony mentions of their failure, including Cap's broken shield. That's also where Cap objected to Tony's "language" and I remember thinking during Endgame that Cap sure does swear more now.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the Ancient One. People were warned about spoilers, right?
Thor and mom. See sweet. So heartbreaking. I love Rene Russo.
I cried during a lot of Black Widow's scenes, knowing what was to come.
And we couldn't figure out who the teenager was at the funeral, near the house. Internet was very helpful in saying who he was and the two reasons he looked familiar.
Tony and Nebula playing paper field goals. "That was fun."
I loved that Nebula had so much more to do.
So what happens with the Loki that disappears with the tesseract?
What happened when Cap returned the soul stone? Black Widow didn't come back but it's a soul for a soul.
Why was Scott's stuff in storage and who put it there? And where's Cassie's mom?
What happened to the other timeline now that Thanos and his cronies will no longer be there?
Looking forward to seeing how they handle new Gamora in GotG3.
I might have found an error in the film. Probably have to wait for Blu-Ray to confirm. Before Hulk snaps, Tony creates a force shield to hold in front of Hawkeye but in a subsequent shot, I think you can see Tony and the shield but not Hawkeye behind it. Can't tell if the shield is supposed to be see-through.
Loved the end credit sequence, especially the special tribute to the original six. That was cool.
