I finally saw it last night and I was surprised at how.... bored I was!

But - was this better or worse than Civil Bore? For me it's definitely the former. :lol

But I agree that the pacing was bad, and honestly, in a movie with as many characters as this, the ability to even out the pacing without it running for four hours was pretty much dead on arrival. Of course I'm not saying that it's allowed to have bad pacing because it's a huge crossover as it's all valid criticism and was one of few things that dropped my score from an 8 to a 7.5 tops.
 
What I surprisingly liked was the humour. It’s the first marvel movie in a long time where I felt almost all of the humour was actually funny, even among the very serious goings ons. I think they did the GOTG better than Gunn did them as well (though I heard he contributed, so maybe that was him only?)

From what I've read, Gunn wrote the dialog for the Guardians in this film.

There’s too many pages to read back here and a lot of them full of filler arguments lol... what’s the general feeling here? Am I in the minority for not being too hot on it? Or is it a generally shared sentiment? Not that it affects my opinion of the film, but just curious.

Though there have been some detractors, for the most part it's been pretty positive ... even shockingly so for this crew.
 
I don't understand the pacing comments/complaints. I've seen it twice now, and it was just as good the 2nd time. Even the deaths still hit home emotionally while knowing they were coming. The movie move's along fine. The scene transitions are very good and very well done with how many different characters and different stories are going on. The Russo Bro's did a great job. In fact I wanted more, and can't wait for A4/Pt2. Anyone who believed the Russo Bro's backtracking that this wasn't Pt 1 and A4 pt 2 were just kidding themselves. It was always meant to be and is too big a story to be contained in just one film. Especially with all the ramifications it will have going forward for the MCU into Phase 4. This has been said over and over and over and over by Feige.

TLJ was a mess compared to this with a hell of a lot less going on. The transitions in that movie were confusing, and the timeline a head scratcher. Not so in IW. Everything moved along/progressed great.

I feel like I watched a different movie than some of you guys. I've enjoyed nearly every MCU movie and have enjoyed each and all of it's characters (Heroes) they've brought to the big screen. The only way I could see someone complaining of the pace/transitions from scene to scene or character group to character group, would be if they lost interest due to the lack of excitement or enjoyment over a particular group cast. I enjoyed all the pairings and was enthralled to see them together. This movie was a huge undertaking never done before, and may never be done again, so how can you say any director would've been better up to the task? The dialogue was great and each and every character felt just like they did in their own MCU movie installments. I'm glad each director helped out with the dialogue so the characters felt true to the versions we've seen.

While no it's not perfect, as no movie is, I'm damn happy with what we got. This could have easily been a train wreck!! JL anyone?? And that should've bee easy compared to this.
 
All I do is think about this damn movie it has made my MCU viewing party a blast.

I just keep calling every weekend my MCU viewing party lol

Imperfect as they may be they all have something to offer.

I went to see this with a friend last night. I'd say he's a casual fan of the MCU. He hasn't seen all of the movies, but he's seen most of them. He usually comes to me with any questions or to fill in the gaps where needed. He absolutely loved the movie and said that not only does it make the wait for Avengers 4 nearly unbearable, but it makes him want to go back and watch the movies he's missed so far.

No, as you know, its just your own personal opinion differs. Not everyone will feel the same. And thats the problem when discussing movies, everyone thinks only their opinion matters and is correct and we get into a cycle of arguments about different opinions.

If someone didn't like it as much as you, thats ok. no need to take it personally. You are not right or wrong, and neither are they.

The only thing I get mostly bothered by are fan rumors who claim things to be true when they are not.

But then again, I am paid by Disney, so I like TLJ. :)
 
Gwyneth drops a potential A4 spoiler regarding Tony’s journeyduring an interview (unless her memory is hazy):

“Pepper and Tony have had a real long journey together," Paltrow says. "She obviously starts as his dutiful assistant, and then the relationship evolves, and now this decade later they're married, and they have a child. Their relationship has evolved in all of the ways that great romances evolve."

So he lives, huh?
