It was definitely fun, though. Less predictable too, and the stakes felt more real. I'm not great at identifying the cinematography stuff, so take this with a pinch of salt, but it felt like a visual improvement on IW--a bit more Whedon-y, maybe?
I have no doubt that both the general audience and core fans will overwhelmingly love it ('cept maybe the ultra-reactionaries because of one or two things). But...I dunno. Maybe I need to see it again.
Also, I feel like we should not think about "plot holes". Like, at all. Which is true of all films, but especially this one.

See, that’s interesting... because the more I’ve thought about it I’ve come to the opposite conclusion that it does work. There are things that if you do enough looking into it that do fit perfectly.
I’m glad I’ve avoided anything even remotely spoiler-y because it only helped my enjoyment, and you’re right the effects did feel like an improvement.Can anyone identify to me the Stan Lee cameo? I’m not sure when it was, but I think I was caught up in everything else to figure out when it was. Additionally, I’m already noticing scenes in trailers that were edited or just weren’t present

Stan Lee:A de-aged version was driving a bus in the '70s. He shouted "make love, not war".
On meaning:I really need to see some reviews from proper critics, and admittedly I've only had an hour or so to think about, and none of that has been fully awake, but take Tony saying "I am Iron Man" just before he snaps. It's cool, a nice bookend, and I predicted it in the moment, so that's cool.
But...what does it mean? Either as a response to Thanos, or as the climax of Tony's nine-film long arc? It feels like it's supposed to be a big "I am a Jedi, like my father before me" moment, but it isn't.

Showed up at the start for like 10 minutes then was gone until like the last 10 minutes. That was underwhelming, though her appearance in the final fight was awesome, especially when all the artillery guns on Thanos' ship just aimed up and began opening on her as she charged in, that was such a cool moment.
I quite liked how they brought in an alternate reality thanos instead of going back in time to fight the original thanos. I dont know why i just thought that was a really neat idea and how he switched his plan to just kill everything and start again once he saw his plan to kill half of everything would be foiled even if he won.
Ironman's death was really good, very emotional and i thought it was done super well. Though who the fuck was that random teenager behind the guardians at his funeral? I literally have no idea who that was. I wish a few more people died though, because really it was Ironman, Vision, Natasha and Loki died. Gamora's death was undone basically by her alternate self, thought maybe a few more of the side characters might have died but ah well.
Might add more on here later. Good movie, very fun.
Highlight at the start of the movie was a dude going "Yeooooo" when the age certificate popped up and the whole audience started laughing

Because Gamora's death isn't really undone; she isn't the Gamora who's been on two films worth of journey with the Guardians. I hope that doesn't fuck up anything he was planning, because GotG is easily the best MCU subseries. It would be a shame to spoil that by putting the writer somewhere he didn't want to be.

Although Gamora, the gamora we know is still dead. That hasn’t been undone. Loki also... is still around now and from where it branches off at the timeline will be considerably less friendly than he became by ragnarok etc

I think they said you couldn't change the past, or something? Anyway, Loki was still in his cell in the Dark World timeline. I don't know if he's alive in an alternate universe or what.
