Apr. 26th, 2019 07:06 pmChidi: So are you off to see Avengers' Endgame this weekend?
Me: No, I'm putting together a television console. Besides, movie buddy is busy with family stuff.
Mother: You aren't seeing The Avengers Endgame this weekend are you?
Me: No. I'm having a television console put together and movie buddy is busy -
Mother: Because I think it's completely sold out -- it has record breaking sales across the country.
Me: Another reason I have no plans to see it opening weekend. It'll be out a while, I'm targeting May 18, at the moment. With any luck movie buddy will be able to see it with me by then. He hasn't gotten back to me yet, so I don't know.
Mother: Apparently it has broken records -
Me: That's because people bought tickets three months in advance. People are nuts. It's a movie.
Mother: Yep, pretty much.
Me: It's not like it's going anywhere any time soon. I can wait three to four weeks.
The trick though is not to get super-spoiled by the internet and/or media in the meantime. (Hence the reason everyone rushed out en mass to see it this weekend.]
So, please don't spoil me and hide your reviews under spoiler tags until at least July. By that time, we've all seen it (or anyone who cares about spoilers at any rate), and it will have left the movie-plex.
So far people are being relatively good about that. Well, except for the spoiler that it includes Time Travel (despite all of Marvel's statements to the contrary prior to the film's release.) But I kinda figured that one out on my own after watching Antman and the Wasp, and Captain Marvel easter-egg/clue scenes in the end credits. (It pays to patiently wait and watch the credits on these things.) Also, the clues provided throughout Avengers:Infinity War more or less broadcast that one. Yeah, I know, Marvel kept claiming it didn't -- I didn't believe them, Marvel likes to talk out of its collective arse, as all long-term Marvel fans know all too well. CJL and I discussed it at length after Captain Marvel and determined that Time Travel was definitely how this was going to go down.
All I want to know is if you liked it, if it is worth 3 hours in a movie theater and the $16 for admission. Also should it be seen in RPX or is regular a-okay? And really, only the latter -- because I'll go see it regardless. Avengers, Dark Phoenix, and Star Wars are really the only films I've planned on seeing at the multiplex after Captain Marvel. Everything else I can rent on-demand.
