I just saw it and it was awesome. I think this is a very satisfying end to an 11 year long journey and it does a great job of tying all these films together even more.

Gonna watch it on Tuesday.... hard to stay spoilerfree...

The end was straight up better than Return of the King.

Damn amazing movie. Also there are estimates that this could be a 1.2 billion dollar worldwide opening weekend.

The current record was set by the previous Avengers movie last year and is 640 million

This movie could ALMOST DOUBLE the previous biggest movie's opening weekend.

I didn't think this movie had a chance of dethroning Avatar but now I'm not so sure.

Avatar wasn't payoff for ten years of investment in long term world building and story.

Return of the King dragged on for three or four endings while my bladder was about to pop. My legs seriously went numb.

Adjusted for inflation, Gone With the Wind still has the all-time domestic box office record at something around $1.8 billion. I'm hoping Endgame can unseat it but that's looking doubtful.

It isn't better then return of the king. Not even close. But that is just my opinion.

I would argue it's the closest we have had to that epic scope, though.

Probably the best cinematic experience I have had since ROTK.

**Gaidin** · May 26, 2019, 09:30 PM

RotK got god damn boring. Avengers: Endgame actually managed its pacing both during the movie and at the end a whole lot better. So meh. I'd rather read the RotK book again if I am to go through the entire story again. If All I want is a particular part of the story, then the movie RotK is perfect.

**saxdude** · May 26, 2019, 10:02 PM

I stand by my claim, Endgame is straight up better than ROTK. It is my opinion though and at the very least I feel it accomplished a similar cathartic impact.

**Gaidin** · May 27, 2019, 08:30 AM

You aren't the only one with this opinion. They got better at pacing these long movies.

**Knight of Heaven** · May 28, 2019, 07:21 PM

I found nothing boring in Return of the king everything was captivating, the epic stuff, but also the Frodo and Sam plot line. Every scene and shot, is full of poetry and photography, and iconic moments not to mention the grandiose epic soundtrack ( which i do think is more iconic, and beautiful then what we got in Avengers). It wins on the dramatic part too imo, nothing on the avengers films gets close to the performance of Bernard Hill as king Theoden.
King Theoden and Aragon speech still gives me chills to this day. As epic it might be the last battle in the avengers, it wasn't as emotional powerful as the ones in lord of the rings. At least for me.

Of course it is less action oriented so i do get why some people would find it slower or boring at times in comparison.

Endgame it is not a better movie as cinematography is concern, not even close, i do think it is even ridiculous to state it, but to each its own i say.

That said, no doubt endgame was a satisfying movie to watch, if you follow the marvel universe. Even though the first half of the movie is a slowly heavily edited mess, and i do not think the pace is better then ROFTK, it is just faster in the second last act of the film. But again it is a different kind of movie, more action, comedy focused. So in the end they are different beasts.

I would argue it's the closest we have had to that epic scope, though.

Probably the best cinematic experience I have had since ROTK.

That is a more then fair assessment.

Knight of Heaven - I can't stand ROTK. Jackson made Faramir into a lame character for that if I ever meet I will hit him (they also failed to addresses the value and risk oaths critical to the story). He also subtly changed everyone's motivations nobody makes a positive choice they are all forced into them. Take the Ents, they go from democratically choosing to enter the world again and war to being tricked into it. My experience was mounting horror as ROTK went on - I very nearly left but it was a big group family viewing so kinda had to stay.

**PointOfViewGun** · May 30, 2019, 03:31 AM

Return of the King book's ending where the story shifts down to a much slower pace to portray the aftermath. They kinda had to go through that in the film.
