The fact that the movie didn't suck with so many characters/actors and locations is a feat. They did a good job with Thanos. The ending is going to surprise people who are not familiar with the comics.

I'll probably wait till it comes out on Netflix. With the exception of Batman, I just don't get into superhero movies at all anymore. After the first Avengers movie, which I thought sucked and everybody else thought it was amazing, I realized that action movies really aren't my thing unless there is a meaningful, character-driven story that keeps me engaged.

No spoilers but I do think this is my favorite Super-Hero movie ever. I will wait till everyone has seen it before posting any thoughts beyond that.

Man there were some intense scenes. No spoilers but there's a torture scene that got a little girl absolutely shrieking, and her mom had to run her out. Not a good film to take 8 year olds to.

I enjoyed it much more than I expected.

True. This one has more violence than the others.

Same wavelength here. The first Avengers movie was pretty awful. I can't imagine this one being all that good if it follows the MCU formula.

Patiently waiting for superhero movies to pivot again and move in another, more interesting direction. Doubt it will happen given the amount of money they make, unfortunately :/

I haven't seen the movie yet (later tonight).

I agree with people who think the 1st avengers was overrated. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Actually not a very good movie in my opinion though the action scenes were solid. Marvel has done better movies than that. Captain America 2 is the best marvel movie I've seen so far, for example.

I'm sure this one won't be bad. It basically can't be, even with the bloated cast, because they know and feel the weight of expectations, likely highest gross movie ever. Doesn't mean it'll be great but they'll make sure it won't suck.

Great movie, saw it in 4D and my seat rattled and moved all throughout the film. Action packed from start to finish.

I thought they took a lot of risks, which I thought worked out great. Ending was unique and its actually pretty dark for Marvel standards.

Brolin was terrific as Thanos and they have had villian problems in the past but he was great.
