A lot of people do. It's shaping up to be the MCU's version of Man Of Steel where you either like it or you don't. But with all the anger and vocal dislike for it being replaced by "meh" and "boring".

The movie is being protected to a ridiculous degree, to the point where this is now the reason that Rotten Tomatoes is considering making people buy a ticket and scan it before they can rate the movie on the site

James Gunn is back directing GOTG 3.

I don't know what to think about this. Did he deserve to be punished? Yes. Fired, no. But what was the point of firing him only to bring him back months later? Why not just suspend him for a few months from the get go?

They probably planned on sticking to their guns (no pun) but backed off when they evaluated the backlash firing him caused and how loved his two movies are. Wouldn't be surprised if this was planned almost immediately after firing him but waited until now to announce it. I guess that is good news for the quality of that movie.

It was a PR move. "Fire" someone in the eyes of the public but behind the scenes, he was always going to come back. That was evident when they announced they were keeping his script.

Idk anyone who is hype for this.

Avengers: Endgame will mostly likely make $1 billion THIS WEEKEND!

So what did everyone think of Endgame? I personally liked it.

I just think that the MCU should take a break for a few years and then semi-reboot with the F4 and the X-Men with Dr. Doom being the 'new Thanos'.

The movie has already made over $1.2 billion dollars.

Possibly the best one the MCU. I predicted a few moments (also happened to be my favorite moments) and expected a lot of the ending to turn out how it did. But still had a few nice surprises.

9.5/10...maybe better since that is how I rank Winter Soldier, the best MCU movie before it.

Not sure how to feel with spiderman literally being around the corner too. I mean since it took away from the impact of knowing endgame when we saw that spiderman trailers all over.

Avengers: Endgame has already crossed the $2 billion mark.

For more context, it's already surpassed Titanic in 2 weeks and is poised to beat Avatar in maybe a month.

Avengers: Endgame has surpassed Avatar to be the highest grossing movie of all time.

While I saw the Godzilla: KOTM on DVD this Tuesday, I also saw Avengers: Endgame this Sunday.

I must say this. Avengers: Endgame is a masterpiece of filmmaking and the grand finale to the MCU as we know it. Everything from Iron Man on is wrapped up well. Story arcs are realized, many characters have a fitting and worthy end. The few negatives are so rare and slight that they mean nothing in the grand scheme of the movie. It really is one of the greatest movies of all time, and I do not say that lightly.

This movie marks in what is in many ways the end of a phenomenon. The end of a pop culture earthquake the changed the way how franchises are looked at in how important they are now. The end of characters many of us saw grow and evolve. It was basically the Star Wars of my time. And I'm happy to see it all end.

I do think that the MCU should go into hibernation for a few years until we get the Fantastic 4 and X-Men to semi-reboot the whole thing. I also think that the MCU will go into a decline until then. Be that as it may, the MCU has given us so many wonderful times, laughs, and wonder since 2008 that I'm willing to consider Endgame very much the end of the MCU. Sometimes it's better to go out on top then to be extended on and on for the sake of money, greed, and...whatever else.

I have to give it a 10/10. The perfect end to an 11 year old journey.

It's official. The Black Widow movie will be woke.

Black Widow will now come out on July 9th and Disney has doubled down on streaming it.

I don't see ANY hype for this movie. Between the COVID-19 debacle last year, the hype for both the Snyder Cut of Justice League and Godzilla vs. Kong, and the Gina Carnaro brouhaha, the wind in this movie's sail just seems non-existent to me.
