Endgame is amazing. Just dropping that here.

@Jaded I have some choice words for you, sir, having been able to see it two days early.

@Testament
Probably the same words I heard from the rest of my friends.

@Aria I was not bored. I came out thoroughly entertained. But lord, it wasn't good, to quote Bloom County.
So, basically the BPRD/Hellboy equivalent of Netflix's The Order, which is a series that is so terribad it results in an underflow on the 'quality' field and wraps around into being somewhat enjoyable again?
You take that back. The Order is worth it just for the Argentina joke.
I spit my mate all over the table.

I think one of the main issues with Zack Snyder(and I think this was very evident in Sucker Punch) is that he's more concerned with "how cool does this scene look?" without caring about how the scene impacts the character or the overall story. Take the Man of Steel; Superman kills Zod after a fight that nearly levels Metropolis to the ground. What did we get to show either of these events impacted Superman on any level? He screamed. That's it. It's never touched on again, it did not further his character at all, it provided no sort of story-based development.
I know this is 8 days old but FUCK. Suckerpunch had to be the shittiest shit movie ever. It still makes me mad to think about it. Zack Snyder is the worst.

Have you seen Ishtar?

I still remember the reviews that referred to Waterworld as "Fishtar", to provide a measure of how bad they felt the movie was.

This.
ETA: there were people waiting outside the auditorium for the next showing who began chanting "No spoilers" as we left and I gotta say.... It had the opposite effect. I really came quite close to shouting some spoilers at them (I didn't, mind) for how fucking annoying it was.

But with two robots and a guy in a red jumpsuit, I’ll take “hands, the hands of fate” over Ishtar any damn day.

@Thenomain If they would just riff Ishtar, it wouldn't be that bad!
-
@Too-Old-For-This — nah, Ishtar would be the film that finally broke the inhabitants of the Satellite of Love.

@Sparks Man, The Happening couldn't break them, and that was 2 hours of Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel being awkward around a camera while THE WIND tried to kill them.

Endgame.
Damn.

Endgame was really good. Long though. Really long. To the point where, for me, it impacted the enjoyment of the movie a little bit. Even so I don't regret having seen it. They did an amazing job with it.
Uhm.
It flew by for me. Like, I'll probably notice the length of the movie a lot more then second time, but I did not feel its length was an issue the first time around (which I did with Lord of the Rings, years and years ago).

Yeah, I got to say I didn't notice the length. I thought I would. I mean, I wake up at 5:45 am now and I went to a 6:30pm showing. I was afraid of falling asleep during the film (long day of work, cool dark theater, recliner seats...), but I was keyed in through the whole thing.
Now, halfway through driving the person I went with home, exhaustion hit me like a bus but during? Nope. Not at all. They scheduled the beats of the film just right, IMO.
