I admit I had fairly high expectations for this movie, but in this instance I find it justified given the buildup to this particular movie.

To put it shortly, it is inferior to Infinity War in every way. I've seen infinity war probably 8 times now and Endgame makes me appreciate it even more. The pacing and execution of Infinity War is incredible in comparison. Infinity war felt like a much more mature movie in that there are moments that still make me feel sadness for the characters and the pacing of the movie was far better. Endgame felt all over the place. There were moments I wanted to tear up but the scenes didn't feel adequate to really draw a reaction. They moved on far too quickly and the movie itself was choppy. It was hard to really relate to the characters. When I first saw Infinity War I wondered how they would handle so many characters in one film and be able to still have the audience empathize with them, but any doubts were laid to rest. This movie is pretty much the worst case scenario for how to handle many characters.

Don't get me wrong, there were parts that were quite satisfying, which is hard to go into further detail about without divulging too much information.

All in all this movie was saved by particular scenes and those few moments of feeling resolution. It felt more childish in execution and appeal and Infinity War felt more mature than the typical Marvel movie. When I saw Captain Marvel I really disliked it, but I thought it was a one off and they would be redeemed with Endgame. This was not the case.

Definitely see it, and see it in theatres if you can, just don't go in with the highest of expectations.

This movie is good, but could have been great. Some people found it dragged on, personally I feel that if it was 20-30 minutes longer it would have served well. I just didn't feel the incredible bond between the two characters. I felt there wasn't enough build. There wasn't enough build into the struggle or the backstory. It made the movie sort of shallow in that regard. Don't get me wrong, what was shown was enough to be good and the movie certainly did leave some sort of lasting emotional impression about me. It's been 4 days since I've seen it and I'm still thinking about it a lot. It did leave a lasting impression. But if there was more more time for that development to get really attached to the characters and involved in the story, this would be a movie I would love.

I really liked the movie and I've contemplated watching it again but I don't see myself doing so anytime soon.

I don't really get why this movie got so much hate. I almost didn't watch it because of all the negative reviews. I'm not a huge fan of overly stupid humor, but I found this to be quite funny. I compare it to Role Models for the level of humor. I saw at least one other reviewer state that the supporting cast was excellent, and it truly was. It was worth the watch alone for the lead's two best friends. An easy watch, not long or tedious, funny dialogue and banter, some good cameos and supporting cast. IMDB doesn't let me do half star ratings but a solid 6.5/10 for me.
