Avengers: Endgame is finally hereOpens in a new tab. After a seemingly eternal wait (really it has just been year since Infinity War, but it has felt like 90!) the grand finale to 22 filmsOpens in a new tab has arrived, and a lucky few got the chance to see the film at its premiere on April 22. And the first (non-spoiler) social media reactions are in.
The general consensus is that Kevin Feige and the Russo Brothers have indeed stuck the landing. So you can breathe a sigh of relief, everyone. It seems they did it. Here’s a sampling of what folks thought while walking out of the big finish of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Infinity Saga”—almost all are raving. And who better to start off this wave of positivity than the King of the Nerds himself, Kevin Smith…
3 hours later and I’m shook! My God, @AvengersOpens in a new tab Endgame is beyond epic! It’s everything you hope it will be and more – an absolute @MarvelStudiosOpens in a new tab marvel! And I’m pretty sure it will make all the money ever printed! Loved it and would watch again instantly! pic.twitter.com/7D3qLfrxV1Opens in a new tab

Do not go in expecting Infinity War part two. The two films are so different, yet compliment each other in all the best ways. In terms of which MCU movie to watch beforehand… honestly, all of them. What an experience – what an accomplishment#AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab

Imagine the best possible version of #AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab and somehow the film still surpasses all expectations. I cried 5-6 times. It’s the most emotional, most epic, MCU film. A tribute to ten years of this universe and holy shit the great fan service in this movie. Soooo good.

#AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab is A LOT. Too much at times. But wow the payoff is huge. Left me proud to have invested over a decade in a franchise that delivers an inspiring exploration of what it means to be family & a hero. (Endgame also now has one of my favorite shots in the entire MCU.)

Man #AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab kicked my ass. It was an epic conclusion to 11 years of films. It had laughs, incredible action and absolute emotional rollercoaster. It was the series finale for these cast of characters that I had been hoping for. Congrats to all for pulling off the feat.

#AvengerEndgameOpens in a new tab is an immensely satisfying payoff, not just to Infinity War but to all the films that came before. This is why the MCU. (And I say this as someone who was not especially enamored of Infinity War, FWIW.) ♥️??

90% of the #AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab footage that’s been officially released is from first the 15 minutes: Other than the actual surprises, the biggest surprise to me was how funny it is

I saw #AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab…it’s the best 10th birthday since I went to Chuck E. Cheese & got a Sega Genesis.

Avengers Endgame: A mediocre first 2 hours that’s equal parts cool moments and problematic moments that ends with a final hour that’s an absolute magnificent geek wet dream. Need to see it again (tomorrow) to solidify my thoughts.

So, #AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab hits the required beats, with plenty of fan service (most of it earned) and plenty of wit. It doesn’t make a ton of sense (and the action is a comedown) but it’s unquestionably fun.

What an absolutely perfect ending to the journey that began over a decade ago. #AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab is everything & yet nothing you expect. I cannot wait to see where the MCU.
Bravo Russo bros and Kevin Feige. Thank you for giving us and our kids heroes to dream of.

The scope of Avengers: Endgame is impossible to put into words. What Fiege & MCU achieved over last 10-years has lead to this gloriously masterful moment in cinema & it’s truly mind-blowing how beautifully paced this storytelling is. Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

Wow. #AvengersEndgameOpens in a new tab is staggering. It’s surprising in ways I never saw coming and satisfying in ways I didn’t realize I needed. It’s kind of the ultimate gift to fans of the MCU.
