Endgame

[melannen]

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.

It has always baffled me that movies outside of India don't have intermissions. Granted, Bollywood movies tend to be three hours long on average (often longer) so intermissions are often an absolute must, especially if you're taking kids!

And lol: re: drive-in theatre owner. I hope it netted him extra business!
