Maybe Shazam set the bar to high for seeing Hellboy the next week. Nah, Hellboy is trash. This - very low expectations going and left the theater pleasantly surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Finally caught Glass. Big fan and I'm happy that I paid to rent it because I enjoy how M. Night put himself out there in how he financed his last few films. He's become a good underdog story in Hollywood and I root for him big time now. Perhaps I'm a bit biased because of that, and also I've always been a huge Unbreakable fan, but I think there's a tendency to default to cynicism and backlash when any director tries something different with the comic book movie genre; and let's be honest it's become a truly awful genre, with 9 out of every 10 movies being the same god damn story. The story in Glass was definitely slow in some parts and probably could have benefited from being about 20-25 minutes shorter, but for me I felt the last 30-40 minutes were an original take on things and also brought a fitting sense of closure to the entire story. I enjoyed it a lot and at least for me, it's cool viewing all 3 movies as one piece now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Watched Glass the other day. Meh. Slow and kind of boring but also a cool concept how they tied the 2 movies together. It's good, not great. Worth a watch for sure if you enjoyed unbreakable and/or split. I watched Purge The Beginning and it's probably the worst movie I've ever watched in my life.

RedLetterMedia has become a form if therapy for me I felt this way about Endgame until I ran into an acquaintance that was at the premier. He didn't spoil anything for me but he did tell me that Endgame is the best Captain America movie of the entire franchise, so that motivated me to grab a ticket for tomorrow. If there is one original thing that Marvel has gotten right, it's the Cap franchise, all 3 movies IMO are still great and if Endgame plays up Cap I'm all in for it.

Yeah, Captain America is the most interesting character to me. I'm bored with Stark/Ironman/Snarky RDJ, Thor is meh, not a big fan of Guardians, don't care about any of the rest of them, sat out the Thanos movie, BP, and Captain Gender studies. So, really, there's not much of a draw left for me. I'll rent it on Amazon in August. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gqxluvx Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Endgame was a fulfilling and satisfying conclusion to the infinity Saga. Pump the brakes on the best superhero movie ever. This movie delivers, especially the last hour but there are certainly some things that can be questioned. Will delve into more once people have seen it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotcheryifyouCan Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 endgame was a great way to conclude the whole infinity thing. there were some amazing parts. i still think dark night is the best superhero movie tho. i liked infinity wars a tad better as well but this was a very good movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Also no middle or end credit scene but stick around for a few minutes to see the main characters credit, they do a cool full screen credit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Endgame is good, not great. Last hour is pretty epic. The plot device for setting everything up was kind of lame. Worth seeing in the theater. I am hoping that Marvel can move on to telling some original plot lines now, if not I think I’m done. Definitely not the best comic movie ever btw. That title always goes to Dredd. I’m not sure I would have any of the Marvel movies even in my top 5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

static14 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Saw Endgame yesterday. Really enjoyed it. A very solid culmination for what the MCU has done so far.

T0mShane Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I saw Avengers Endgame. It was fine. I’d watch a movie about an alcoholic Thor trying to straighten up to win Natalie Portman back, but none of the obvious spinoffs will interest me in the least. An Anthony Mackie Captain America movie would bore me into a coma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Endgame was a good conclusion but it didn't hold a candle to Infinity War. The pacing seemed a bit off and it all felt very rushed in the last hour. I think at times with these crossovers they try and force interactions. Not a big fan with the changes to some characters, one in particular, and think some characters should have been introduced after this Phase was done. They sort of felt out of place. Felt Paul Rudd and Karen Gillan were the star performers along with the three main characters – The acting was on point across both movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not even a super soldier. Falcon took up the shield in the comics for quite a bit and there are some good stories, Bucky did too. Personally I don’t even care anymore. People will bitch and analyze despite having no idea what they’re talking about. Whatever they do with the character I’m sure it’ll be the same dumb plot lines Marvel always does with the MCU stuff. Superhero movies have gotten tedious and boring to me. I mostly saw Endgame out of boredom. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
