I'm still a bit lost for words and am yearning for another viewing of this because I don't think anyone will be able to fully take in everything here in one sitting.

 

Everyone gets a decent amount of screen time, the pacing is INCREDIBLY done. It's funny, it's scary, it's chilling. The audience cheers at some parts. I love Thor. I love Okoye. My full (spoiler free) review is here, if anyone is interested.

Oh. My. Christ.

 

I still feel emotionally exhausted by it and I saw it several hours ago.

 

There’s really very little that any review can say without giving away even the slightest thing, other than this isn’t a movie. It’s an event. It’s epic and utterly astonishing. And it’s very funny.

 

It will be essential to see it more than once. If your emotions can take it.

Wow, the film is everything I wanted it to be and so much more.

 

Some of my theories actually happened but the film was very shocking and some totally unexpected things happened.

 

I especially loved the after credit scene.

 

I did have a few questions though, I'm not going to spoil anything but some characters were missing with no explanation.

I won't venture into spoiler territory at all but there was one character that was nowhere to be seen and it didn't really make any sense. Unless I missed something from their most recent movie that hints at where they would be. I really don't think so though.

 

And yes, the after-credits scene was fantastic!

In a word: wow.

 

I'm still trying to process it all. Think I need to break it down and do a full on review of it, but will wait until after I've seen it again on Saturday before I do so :lol:

I'm so excited to watch it again. I really need to see it with a sold out screen!

My screen was sold out. At times, you could've heard a pin drop...well apart from the idiots next to us who brought loads of food in CARRIER BAGS! Constant rustling all the way through; how I didn't punch them, I will never know.

What an incredible film omfg!

 

 

I was so shocked at the end when they killed half the characters omfgg. Bring on film 4 where they will likely all get revived

 

There's a Spider-Man film and a Guardians film coming up so they clearly make it through

10/10 there's very little to complain about (it's a complex plotline in different places juggling tons of characters, and there's the odd bit of cliche'd dialogue, but that's nitpicking in a very minor way).

 

Epic. Unexpected. Funny laugh-out-loud. Most of the audience sat talking about during the credits (and there are tons of them) for the extra scene at the end - which also takes the breath away unexpectedly.

 

I hardly ever give out 10/10....

On it's way to becoming the biggest opening weekend in US history! It's currently on course for $247.1m and the record is 'Force Awakens' at $247.96m! However, each day so far has exceeded and gone beyond it's estimations, so there is every chance this could actually beat it! :o

 

So, SO deserved! :wub:

And yes it broke all the records :cheer:

 

It opened with 250 million in US and 630 million WW :o

Just saw the numbers. It's a pity it fell short of the Friday single day record or it would have had a clean sweep, as it now has the biggest Saturday, Sunday, Opening Weekend and Worldwide Weekend in history.

 

It's coming for the remaining records too. It will be the fastest to $1 billion without a shadow of a doubt and, if it holds well, could challenge Avatar for the domestic number 2 spot. It's not impossible for it to beat out The Force Awakens, but $950m domestically is a ridiculously tall order.

 

Astonishing. But so deserved.

Yeah 950 million will be hard to beat considering Star Wars was released during December holiday season where more people go out to watch movies with families etc etc.

Yeah that really won't happen, but it should easily manage a 3x multiplier for $750m. It might even reach $800m.

 

The international numbers are fantastic too though, considering it has only opened in around 70% of markets so far. China is still to come (Age of Ultron opened to $155m there).

$42.2m in the UK (about £30.6m) and that puts it in 3rd for best UK opening weekends of all time.

 

'Spectre' with $63.7m (a predominantly British film - released Half Term too iirc) and 'Force Awakens' with $50.6m (December/Christmas Holidays/first movie in about 12 yrs in the biggest franchise of all time) are the two above it.

 

'Spectre' opening gave the film 51.2% of it's total gross ($124.5m)

'Force Awakens' opening gave the film 31.0% of it's total gross ($163.5m)

 

SPEECHLESS. RIP me, y’all need to hold me.

And it just gets better. Disney under-estimated all the box office numbers, so it actually did $258.1m domestically and $382.8m internationally, for a $641m first weekend. Incredible.

 

I also saw it for a second time today and it was every bit as spectacular as it was the 1st time. Just astonishing.

People seem to critique why they kept all the originals and here's why I think is why;

 

 

 

 

I think the ones who turned to ash are all going to be okay eventually, will probably come back in the third act of Avengers 4 and all of the people who survived are the ones most at risk of being killed off completely. They probably want to reunite the original Avengers (with Clint) one last time but I wouldn't be surprised if Cap, Iron Man (I'm not as sure about him anymore as he almost died already) and War Machine went, probably Nebula too. It'd be silly to bring back those who turned to ash just to kill them again.

 

Wanda for example, I feel they've only touched on with her character potential, we know Bucky has more films in his contract and that Guardians, Black Panther and Spider-man have more films confirmed, so I can see why they want to give these guys a break for probably the majority or Avengers 4, to say a final goodbye to a lot of the old gang. I wouldn't be surprised if the "surviving" Avengers got more or less cut in half, as we're going to see the torch being handed on to the new Avengers; Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Wasp, Scarlet Witch....At the moment, Widow, Okoye, Rocket and Thor are the only ones I feel confident about continuing on to the next phase (along with everyone who was ashed).

 

 

Yeah Joe that's pretty much exactly how I feel.

 

 

Thor is easily the safest of the originals. He practically single handedly saved the day and, aside from Captain Marvel, is the most powerful of them all. And after Ragnarok, they seem to have finally hit their stride with him.

 

I swear, I nearly peed myself when he came barrelling into Wakanda with Rocket and Groot, looking brand new and ready to hand everyone's ass to them. That was a god damn moment.

They also managed to

leave out a lot of the stuff from the Super Bowl teaser, including that huge scene of Cap/Widow/T'challa/Bucky/Okoye/Hulk (yes, fully hulked out)/War Machine/Falcon, so maybe they're saving that scene for A4. I did find it pretty fitting that we're left with the OG's (+ Hawkeye when he does show up) considering Iron Man was the first of the OG films and that happened 10 years ago.

 

In terms of contracts and what's been confirmed, Cap is the most likely to die. Maybe Stark too since RDJ is film-by-film allegedly, but I think he can make a few recurring appearances in the next Spider-Man movie next year, especially after... that scene. I'm thinking Grant's hunch from a few weeks ago may be right and Evans will pass the torch to Seb (since he has a 9-movie contract).

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Thor sticks around after A4. Hemsworth's pretty passionate about the character, and Ragnarok has developed so many new paths to take.
