The NWH cameos were much better than MoM’s too
----
Ohhh not sure about that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd say the NWH cameos had more impact, despite most people knowing who they would be, but the Dr Strange cameos were more surprising and unexpected.

MoM is a strange one cos I think it's probably being negatively viewed due to people's crazy high expectations, although that said I had the same thing going into Spider-man and loved that.

I really liked a lot of the ideas in MoM but at times I thought it it just felt like a bunch of random stuff happening
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MoM is 2h 15m which is why it felt so fast paced. It didn't really allow you to settle on some of the emotional beats.

If you are talking about shock value then yea. The crowd at my screening went pretty wild. I just don’t think they offered anything significant apart from shock value
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed. Felt empty and pointless.

Empty and pointless - the Blarmy biography

I think my current top 10 in no particular order:

Avengers 1
Infinity War
Endgame
Civil War
Winter Soldier
NWH
Iron man 1
Shang Chi
Incredible Hulk
Age of Ultron

its 1hr 54 - credits, apparently 40 mins was cut

That's short for such a large scale movie.

I bet the horror elements were cut.

Wait what?! 40 mins was cut and the film made sense?
Don’t think anyones said it’s badly edited, but surely some scenes must’ve felt incomplete.
If not, that’s pretty impressive.

Oh you thinking more action shots rather than character development were cut to make the 12 rating?

Yep. It never felt badly edited but it's fast paced. A lot is happening and often.

It doesnt feel badly edited, and for me at least, it always made sense what was happening..

On first viewing it breaks my top 10, probably even top 5...

Not what I was expecting from the trailer.

As for the post credits, the mid credit scene is worthwhile, the end credit scene is just a silly jokey one, although it made me laugh, so it was worth it.

Ever since The Red Wedding that's all movies and TV have been going for these days...it's worn out

people are disappointed by the cameos, which leant way too much in the marketing of the film, not by the film itself.

I think there were so many rumours going around too that if you had a specific one in mind only for it to not come to fruition then you're naturally gonna be a little disappointed, through no fault of the film itself.

I had an element of that from the first Avengers, the rumour mill for that film was in overdrive and very little of it actually materialised.

Disappointed you didn't get to see either of the Chris' shirtless in the end?

Well now… oohhh, what did I think of this Madness.
Overall, I thought it was a good film.
Right now I give it a solid 7/10.But subject to change.

Major gripe is this America lass. Having been exposed to a lot of Disney content, she came across as the ones I’ve seen in their TV movies, and came across as Generic. Wasn’t enamoured by her performance at all.
Afterwards I was thinking, how is it, the guys in Goonies. Short Round in Indiana, even David in Flight of the Navigator act the pants off her.

Horror elements I wasn’t expecting that, was some eye openers in there for sure. Editing was fine, nothing jarring, except for one moment.
A couple scenes I thought, needed to be longer, but it flowed well.
Olsen Benedict.and Wong, were good. Interesting to see where they go with Strange next.

Did my best to avoid, even when I saw the Twitter shenanigans, but yeh, it didn’t spoil anything for me, cos I had little to no expectations, as still, I don’t no Dr Strange at all. So he’s a very interesting character.

Hmm…

Funny watching people try to discuss it somewhat but not being able to mention any details
