The shit they tried in this movie is just unthinkable. What an explosion of creativity, and a very good way to end Phase 3.
I don’t really agree. They did time travel, which has been done by so many other movies.
Before Infinity War I didn’t think it would be possible to have that many characters together in 1 movie and have it written that well with a good flow.
I think Infinity War was the best combination of funniest, most entertaining and best written movie in the MCU. [Reply]

I don't disagree too much with the last sentence -- though I think Civil War was better.
But I think the Endgame time travel was more creative than just about any other time travel movie I've seen, and they had Oscar winning actors bobbing in and out with very little contribution. Natalie Portman was brought in to stroll across the floor. Swinton steals the scenes both times she's on screen. Samuel L. Jackson just glares. Loki's on screen three times and I'm not even sure he says anything.
And, of course, it ends the arcs of Cap, Romanov, and Stark, which is way ballsier than Infinity Wars threatening to end Gamora and actually ending Vision. Just one of the ballsiest movies I've ever seen, I think.
Anyway, we're just arguing favorites here. [Reply]

Oh and don’t forget Robert Redford and Michael Douglas just casually stroll across the screen
I was hoping for a surprise Wolverine appearance :-)
Not one of Marvels best films but a solid way to end it IMO. For sure could have done much more with it though especially with Hulk. [Reply]
The more I think about Professor Hulk, the more the way they ended up portraying him sucks. I guess it was all about Tony Stark though in the end, and they didn't want Hulk stealing the show, again. [Reply]
