Endgame
I have bowed to the inevitable and been to see Endgame.
Here is my comprehensive, spoiler-free review:
It needed to be a little better, a little shorter, or a little worse.
If it had been a little (or maybe a lot) better, I could have enjoyed it on a thoughtful, detached level without needing to be immersively swept up in the story, but it wasn't quite good enough to sustain that.
If it had been a little (or maybe a lot) shorter, I wouldn't have started NEEDING TO GODDAMN PEE about halfway through, and maybe I could have gotten immersively swept up in the story instead of using half my attention on that.
If it had been a little (or maybe a lot) worse, I might have talked myself into taking a bathroom break.
As it is, if by some chance you haven't seen it yet, my advice is to either see it in a format with a pause button, or go to the drive in, where the cranky old Stan Lee esque dude who owns the place and has a vendetta against Disney is actively advertising a bathroom intermission in his showing.

My normal procedure is to have a little water from the bubbler before going into the movie after a visit to the 'jill' and treat movies like a Tuesday/Thursday seminar. The only other time I've had to dash from a screening since I was seeing movies on my own, was when I saw maybe the last LoTR while still recovering from a bad cold? It was a bad cold, maybe it was a different movie, that seems too long ago. Could have been the second Sherlock Holmes.
