I find it funny that people who didn't contribute a kobo to the official revenue of Endgame via box office and waited three months to see the movie after spoilers eroded the suspense they should have felt, they are the ones talking trash about the highest grossing movie ever.



$2.7bn says the movie is dope and I contributed a tiny percentage to it (2k5 in Buhari weather no be joke).


So for what my opinion is worth.


Endgame is 10/10
Y'll keep hammering on this "Highest grossing movie thing" which to me isn't an indication of quality.

Avatar was highest grossing for a while and still gets a bad rep.


You like it? Fine.

Don't just attribute its quality to B.O earnings.

That film will have its haters: mine self included.

Get that!

Don't deceive yourself.
Suspense is a vital part of movie watching.


Let me give you an example, if you as a regular user of social media are to watch GOT season finale for the first time at this exact moment in time, your verdict on it will be biased which is why accredited critics are always the first to be shown a private viewing of blockbusters before they hit the cinemas.



Treyknowles:
You do realize "those people" subscribed to a data plan with money, so I think they can say anything about Endgame or other movies as they see fit.

I watched James Cameron Avatar multiple times to see what the hype was about..... I can't for the life of me see nanda but 2bn+ box office revenue can't be wrong so I am resigned to calling it a spectacular movie



Some people think deviating from some general consensus makes them enlightened or smart not knowing they will only succeed in coming off as the direct opposite.




If you watch that Avatar in 3d, you would understand.

It is a simple story with magical graphics and effects.



I actually dont have a problem with deviating from general consensus BUT one must have logic or evidence before doing so.

Avatar has the best graphics and effects compared to any other movie in the world. It also helped that the plot was simple and so, it had a wider appeal.

The graphics alone earned the movie its praise. Avatar without graphics is just humans fighting blue people.

Changing the past but still keeping what we have in the future (according to the Smart Hulk) how does that work? I mean come to think of it.
I wonder who sent them to coin a plot where Thanos destroyed all the Infinity Stones, who send them go that side angry angry
it makes more sense than the opposite.
Like you go back in time to change the past which will result in changing the future, then that future you came from won't exist again. And also if the future is changed you won't in the first place have any reason to go back to the past initially.

Dont get me wrong, i loved the movie but IMO, Hulks take on time travel was really appalling. It totally goes against Neutrons 3rd law of motion which states that for every action there must be an equal & opposite reaction (action/consequences).
In trying to avoid all sorts of time paradox associated with time travel they simply made a mess of the storyline, but i do get it though, if they had followed the common time travel theory, the flicks runtime wouldn't have exceeded an hour.

The above is somewhat related to the grandfather paradox. For what i inferred from that scene, Hulk didn't even believe in any paradox whatsoever.

it didn't, altering the past by removing the infinity stones creates a new timeline.
The time travel was clean like white.

Contrary to what most folks think, I don't hate Marvel films as y'll think.

CA: Civil War
Avengers: Infinity War
Black Panther are some Marvel films which stood out for me.

But I dislike when you'll give the MCU unnecessary credit.
Each new film is treated as the next best thing since Citizen Kane, when in reality they're just generic films with mostly the same tone.
Which is why I've continually opined that time won't be kind to the MCU.

Not that they're bad perse, but it irks when I hear some folks call them "Great".
For whatever their intentions are in making these films, they're good: that's all they'll ever be.

That being said; my main criticism for Endgame was that I found it somehow drab:too much dialogue, emotional scenes and grief.
Given the events of Infinity War and the connection with past events, twas expected.
But for a movie like this, I go in expecting some heavy dose of action; had to wait 2 hr 30 mins for that.
And when it came, it vanished before I could say Hulk616.


Infinity War had everything in the right amounts: drama, humor, action, suspense, Thanos' dialogue and whatnots.

Solely my take.
