Re: Avengers: Endgame (April 26th, 2019)
Ok just got back from my 2nd viewing.. Now that I know that the Hulk was not in this film I was able to sit back and enjoy the film for what it was.
I did enjoy it much more.
Did I like it as much as some on here? Especially Jye and Khev?
Not at all
But that does not mean I did not like it a lot. Hell I would call it officially a great Marvel movie.. For me its in the ranks of IM, TIH, AM, TFA and GOTG. Pretty good company.. I dont know if it stays there as I still have issues with the overall story but I did find it much quicker paced and enjoyable the 2nd time through.
My bigest issue other then lack of Hulk... And honestly that did not bother me this time..
I like a bit more SuperHeroing in my Superhero movie.
I timed it and it takes 2 hours and 15 min to get to the 3 on 1 battle with Thanos. From there to Tony's death is 20 min. and then a 20 min epiloge. Our heros overall.. They just dont get to do enough cool stuff.
What would I change to remedy that? Two things.
1. HAve more fun with the NY scene. Have the characters have to participate a bit more in the battle if NY. Have future cap fighting alongside past BW and have her notice something is off.. Have Antman somehow fighting alongside Hulk or just have the future Heros have to be part of the battle in some way.. It just would have made a nice action moment in a movie that is actually lacking some superhero action.
2. I know Khev wont agree but.... After Thor talks to his mom figure out a way to go with the original script and have Future Thor run into past thor and have them throw down.. It would have been much more interesting and funny.. With young Thor making fun of Fat Thor. Both could be fighting over the posession of the Hammer.. Just much more intersting.
In fact have any of the other big name Avengers fight and it would have been visual interesting and more fun.
I am not saying the cap scene was bad.. It just was.. well.. OK..
Anyways I changed up my score in my Countdown to Avengers and ranked it much higher.
Hope to get some more Hulk in the future.
