It’s certainly a good movie, but it comes nowhere close to being as good as Infinity War.
I enjoyed the first act. I thought there were some good surprises, especially with Thanos dying so soon, but once we moved to the time travel stuff, it all went down hill.
Thanos was not as good in this movie as he was in Infinity War. He didn’t have the same screen time, and he didn’t have the same depth. He was made into just another regular villain.
The action sequences were not as good or as personal as they were in Infinity War, and this is largely due to the fact that there’s no real sense of danger. We know Thanos will lose, it’s inevitable. I also felt as though the CGI for Thanos was not as good as it was in sinfonietta War. There were a few moments during the end battle that Thanos took me out of the movie.
Iron Man was expected to die, so it wasn’t surprising at all. But it was still emotional and one of the best things about the movie. Black Widow’s death was done terribly. The scene with her and Hawkeye fighting over who was going to die was just dumb, and it didn’t work. I was also a little confused because I though the whole point was that the person who takes the stone has to make a sacrifice of something they love to get it. By committing suicide, that means the other person has not made a sacrifice, and henceforth should not be able to receive the stone.
Time travel left a lot of plot holes.
Thor being turned into a fat comedy character was a terrible decision. It was fine at first for a few laughs, but they really should have reverted that somehow via time travel or something. It was bad. Hulk was super annoying in the movie too.
It wasn’t a bad movie, and it certainly did a good job of wrapping up most of the MCU, but it was definitely disappointing. Infinity War was magnificent and the characters were all balanced perfectly. There was non-stop action and great personal character moments. And then there’s Thanos, who was honestly the singular factor that made Infinity War such a great movie. But Endgame fails to follow all of what Infinity War did right. The characters are not as well balanced, we don’t get as many character moments. We don’t have an amazing deep villain, and we don’t have as much action.
I really though that the first act was good. It set up a tone that we’ve never really seen in the MCU. It made the movie feel unique and different, even if it didn’t have that much action in it. But then the time travel stuff made it into a generic movie for the second act. It felt lazy. And then the third act was a mixture of ups and downs. That end battle was good, but it wasn’t as good as the end battles in Infinity War. It lacked the personal moments.
I’ll see it one more time before I give it a rating.
The movie itself deserves an 8/10, but I have to give it a 9 because I feel like it was a very good conclusion to the Avengers/infinity stones story. There are plot holes concerning the time travel side of the story but I guess that was to be expected.
I ended up going back to an 8/10 because the movie gets worse when you watch it a second time. The fortnite scene is cringy, the all-female scene is so out of place in my opinion. The Hulk story line is developed out of screen during the timeskip which is unfortunate. And Thanos is too powerful without the stones, it makes absolutely no sense how he can literally fight every avenger without the glove and not even break a sweat
I really think the movie turned out great, with stunning visuals and emotional moments, good farewell scenes to some of the main characters and what I think was a satisfying ending. There is one scene, where all the heroes appear through the portals that is just epic.I really, really liked the movie. It is not perfect, but it is very good if you have been following the MCU for all these years.
Is not bad, but is not a good movie either. When I watched Infinity War I remember that I left the cinema pumped, gasping and almost crying, because I watched a great movie with a perfect script. Compared to the previous film, Endgame is kinda disappointing.
I think time travel was a very lazy solution, specially because is not something we ever saw in the MCU. Revisiting places and moments we already see in the MCU should be fun and emotional, but the way they did felt awkward and disrespectful to me.
The dialogues were poorly construct to the point that even the deaths of main characters didn't caused a big impact on me.
The decision to have Bruce Banner as Hulk for almost the entire movie was so lame, and Hulk's CGI face was irritating to look at.
The only memorable moment of the film for me was Captain America using Thor's hammer.
And the Captain Marvel, who was suppose to be a big deal on this movie, ended being more like a secondary character, used only as a plot device.
Anyway, I'm glad is over, and I'm glad I didn't had too much expectations about this movie.
Damn, it must really suck to have been snapped while being on a plane.
Pros:
Cons:
6/10
The whole cast was really well chosen, but Malek...Oh, Malek did just a phenomenal job here! He really shows his caliber as an actor, absolutely worth seeing!
This is the Unforgiven of superhero movies, a brutal yet tender portrayal of former heroes growing old. Logan is tired and world weary, waiting for death to take away his pain. Charles is 90, riddled with drugs to mute his mind, his "super weapon." Despite their friendship their relationship is fractured. Into their lives comes a new mutant and a road trip begins.
I don't want to say much more, having given away a little of the premise already explored in the films trailers. This is a tough, violent and sad film with few moments of humour. There is action but not of the blockbuster kind, one key car chase is like something from a 70's thriller.
This is the swan song of Logan and Charles, both actors giving it their all in their final performances as these characters. To bring them back after this film would undermine their work and the story here.
The film is brilliant and I can't recommend it enough - don't expect a traditional X-Men movie and you will be blown away. If the film itself were a mutant I would say its genes had been spliced with Mad Max and Shane, with a little bit of Children of the Corn (and I mean that in a good way). Excelsior!
Just got back from the world premiere. It's a lot of fun and thoroughly entertaining. Classic Marvel humor and tone, amazing visuals, Benedict Cucumber is stellar, but there are a few story flaws and the MCU is really starting to feel formulaic (I'm probably just suffering from franchise burnout).
The Marvel Universe becomes transcendental. It doesn't veer far from the Marvel formula but it is hugely entertaining and Cumberbatch is terrific, as usual.
Strangely, there are echoes of some of the lesser superhero movies within. Green Lantern, Elektra and 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer share similarities. Obviously, Doctor Strange is better than all of them and takes the superhero genre into a new, fantastical realm.
Awwie what a nice way to go back into the world od magic and the creatures so cute
If Stephen King and Steven Spielberg had a baby, this is EXACTLY what it would look it.
This is a fair sequence of cliches. Mildly amusing at times, mostly due to Tom Hardy and Chris Pine acting.
I was surprised how much I liked this movie! I thought "Alice in Wonderland" was a weird, nearly incoherent movie. But "Through the Looking Glass" actually has a plot that you can follow the ENTIRE way through, and it's a fairly entertaining story involving regret, time-travel and family relationships. A lot of chuckle-worthy moments spread throughout, and it's great to hear Alan Rickman's voice one last time in a film.
I recommend this movie much more highly than the first Alice (perhaps due to the fact that Tim Burton is only a producer & not the director this time). It's family-friendly and visually impressive. And in my opinion, it's worth the extra $$ to see it in 3D for the time traveling sequences alone.
There are definitely better X-Men movies than this one but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I had read many reviews before I went to the cinema so I was a little sceptical but at the end I enjoyed the movie. Don't expect great mega epic x-men movie and you'll be just fine. It could be a little bit shorter because some scenes are boring but at least you spend more time in the cinema :) So don't worry. If you like X-men, go for it. You won't be disappointed.
A lovely feel good movie. Worth a watch if you need a bit of a lift.
The movie was mediocre, entertaining at least, but I must say I loved McAvoy, he did a really good job, I hope he will one day get a chance to act in a meaningful movie, where he can really shine and express himself, as a good actor he is. Here, acting was irrelevant anyway, I don't think nobody cared.
Starts off pretty bad then all of a sudden you've been awake for 20 hours and binge watched the entire thing.
Persevere through those initial few bad episodes and you're in for a right treat.
better and better, is in my top 3 the best tv show!
I wasn't expecting much from this, but it exceeded my expectations. Certainly not great but good enough to keep me interested throughout.
the only thing that bugged me was stoico dying :(((((( i really liked him
So seldom does a sequel manage to match its original; and rarer still that it can surpass it. Bravo!!
Well done to the entire cast, crew and team involved in this production!
Thank you.
Goosebumps is a fun family film for Halloween that reminds me of the sort of films that used to be released in the 90's.
Goosebumps is joyfully spooky family fun, with its clever plot, creative monster special effects and animation, and a humorously over the top performance by Jack Black as R.L. Stine.
visually stunning and great acting all round. i wonder if it'll be enough for leo to finally get that oscar
River's speech about the doctor was amazing!!! i watched it 3 times and its just magnificent!
Frustrating episode in general. Bloody Clara back just ruined it for me. Ruined its for me for the extent of why return to Gallifrey...what was the point? The story told was a stupid waist of bloody having the Doctor return to Gallifrey. Too many tacky & we guessed/already knew this stuff. Imagine Face the Raven was season finale & therefore Heaven Sent was the Christmas episode - they could have started the next season on Gallifrey. Although I'd hate the long wait, it would have been better than what we got. There is a lot more I could say but it would just frustrate me more 'Damn you Steven Moffat!' haha.
Ridley Scot is back! After some less interesting movies he succeed to make an great one again! It isn't the greatest movie I have ever seen but I couldn't recall one fault or issues with this film. The acting was great especially with his carry Matt Damon! The rest of the cast did fairly good. Matt Damons character stranded on Mars and wants to find a way to survive until he is rescued. This is the main part of the film which was surprisingly funny. Mainly due to the optimistic attitude that Matt Damons character had. It was even funnier than some comedies I have seen this year. Besides that there are some really suspenseful scene with are handled very well by Ridley Scott. He build the suspense fairly slow but great. They also created a great setting of Mars, it really felt like a place which was gorgeously filmed.
Overall I would gave the film a 8,5 but unfortunately Trakt would allow me to give that many hearts so I rated it a 8. Simply because I liked my 9 rated films more than this one. Nevertheless I had a really good time with this entertaining, greatly directed and interesting film.
Fun movie!
As a comic book fan (and long-time reader/collector), I appreciated the nods to the comic version of the character, but like they did with all the other Marvel Cinematic Universe characters who've appeared on screen so far, the story is original and I think it can be followed and enjoyed by those who know nothing about Ant-Man before the movie starts.
I won't post any spoilers, but I will say I was satisfied how this character fits into the rest of the MCU and really enjoyed the special effects. The filmmakers did a good job of poking fun at some of the ridiculousness of tiny people fighting each other without it actually detracting from the story. The movie keeps a real sense of humor, which is one of the things I enjoy most about the Marvel movies. I'm interested to see how and what role Ant-Man will play in "Captain America: Civil War" next year.
Paul Rudd does a great job and is actually believable as a title character in an action film, (he's really come a long way from Clueless, huh?) and I love that bigger-name actors like Michael Douglas are all getting on board with these superhero movies. Evangeline Lilly, who already proved she can do action with the "Hobbit" movies, gets to kick some butt in this movie as well. I don't know anything about Corey Stoll, but he makes a pretty good bad guy.
Marvel seems to have figured out how to handle movies like this (ones where most of the mainstream audience knows little-to-nothing about the character.) Put them after most, if not all, the HUGE blockbuster movies of summer, but make them so fun that word-of-mouth will get people to come out. It worked with Guardians of the Galaxy last year, and I think it'll work with Ant-Man this year. For what it's worth, I liked Ant-Man better. I'd give this movie 3 out of 4 stars.
One of the best show. I could tell just from seeing the first episode! It's renewed for season 2 just after it's 1st episode. That's awesome.
I love animations and absolutely love the minions. I laughed from the beginner to the end, the britain references were great, I might go watch it again.
The real hero isn't always the main character of the show. :( this was a very emotional episode. Great ending to a very good season.
