It’s gonna be a long wait. I haven’t been this on edge over a cliffhanger since ‘Best of Both Worlds, Part I.’

I think that Best of Both Worlds is the moment when they really nailed TNG.Batgirl III wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 5:04 am It’s gonna be a long wait. I haven’t been this on edge over a cliffhanger since ‘Best of Both Worlds, Part I.’

I will give one spoiler: With Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch sharing a good amount of screen time, and both of them being Sherlock Holmes, no one said "no sh*t, Sherlock" at any point. Wasted opportunity in my book.
yeah, I heard alot of that too.Batgirl III wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 8:49 pm I just left the theater. Holy epic crossover, Batman!
I think most of us geeks are familiar with the original Infinity Gauntlet crisis crossover comic of yesteryear, so no doubt we nerds all saw the major story beats coming. But, holy hell, the “normies” I was in the show with absolutely did not. I swear on my favorite batarang, there were audible gasps and a couple of younger kids were screaming with fear/sorrow. It’s going to be very hard for anything to top this film for sheer epic shock value.
As to my worry about the right balance between “action” and “acting,” this film nailed it. Possibly better than even some other MCU films.
Five outta five. A+++. Would *biff!* *bam!* *pow!* again!
I heard some "that's it?" too. But I heard that after the Fellowship of the Ring, which I thought everyone in the world knew that there were 2 more books/movies. And as Thor is my witness, when I saw Titanic in the theatre, there were a couple of teenage girls behind me that were bawling bear the end and one of them said (and I'm paraphrasing since time has removed the actual quote from my memory), "I can't believe the ship sank!"HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 2:26 pmyeah, I heard alot of that too.Batgirl III wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 8:49 pm I just left the theater.

of course by the end I heard alot of people going "That's it?!!!" like it was The Matrix Revolutions or something. Or that "It was too long".
A pox, a pox upon them
Even the few “clunkers” from Marvel Studios (IMHO, Hulk, Thor 2, and Iron Man 3) have been significantly above par when compared to superhero movies on the whole.

Me as you can tell, I can only compare to the end of Disc 1 of a Squaresoft game like Final Fantasy VII or Xenogears.Batgirl III wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 5:04 amIt’s gonna be a long wait. I haven’t been this on edge over a cliffhanger since ‘Best of Both Worlds, Part I.’

Some folks just don't follow these things enough to know that there are sequels coming. And I don't take any account of "too long". I snuck off with a friend while my wife and son were home from work/school sick were napping for a 1 PM show and I got texted at 3:30 and I couldn't believe it was that late into the movie because I was riveted. I would have sat there another 4 hours, easy. It was great.
Thor: Ragnarok is pretty much required viewing as it has several major story beats that set up the state of the universe for Avengers: Infinity War.

I will say that the shocking twist ending of Avengers: Infinity War will make a lot more sense if you've seen 1986's Howard the Duck. I mean, did anyone even hear a hint of an iota of a speculation of a rumor that Lea Thompson had been cast for this movie!? Impressive that they were able to keep such a shocking scene from being spoiler'd... Oh, shoot, guess I ruined that.
Howard the Duck's girlfriend wielding the Ultimate Nullifier in one hand and Beta-Ray Bill's uru hammer in the other, whilst driving Ghost Rider's motorcycle through a portal to the Micro-Verse!? Dude, how can anyone keep that a secret? I'm thinking I'm going to get it on a t-shirt... maybe a tattoo.
