Epic. Starts on a somber note, but gradually hits the ground running. Our ragtag team of heroes have a (end) game plan, and the 3 hours truly fly by. Time to save the world, right?
Knowing that this movie is 3 hours long, you may be wondering, “when can I relieve my poor, over-encumbered bladder so that I don’t miss anything?” Just hold it, you can do it, I believe in you. Be an adult, and don't drink like a fish before you see that Marvel animation hit your eyeballs. Well... ok, if you really have to go - how about an hour and 15 min in? If you’re not looking at your stop watch, then I’d suggest you should just go during the: San Francisco scene with Ant Man, the Hulk’s diner lunch, or the taco scene. That’s all I’ll say, and I’m not giving anything away. Also, just a heads up, there is no mid or post-credit scene unlike most/all of the Marvel movies.
Sometimes I don't always "buy" the cheesy dialogue and massive leaps these characters make, but then I tell myself, "They're comic book superheroes, they can do anything they want."
Pretty jam-packed without too much sap. Even with such a lengthy film, there’s truly not too many lulls in the plot line other than the occasional comedic story arch. In my opinion, Thor and Hulk have the best character developments following Thanos’ snap-of-the-fingers. Each character plays to their strengths and contributes in massive ways.
Transitions were a bit abrupt, but the flow was decent. I will say, with so many plot lines going on at once, it was still easy to follow. Sometimes with all the action, it’s hard to keep-up.
Packaged nicely start-to-finish, without spilling the beans. Everyone had an individual voice and was heard. It all fit together like a nicely planned Marvel puzzle. This franchise universe is so massive that you can imagine how difficult it is to include everyones’ chime-ins and back-story.

Date Flick? – Probably not the best date night film, unless your date is already a fan.
Great Flick? – Yeah, it was pretty epic. Even though the length of the film was overwhelming, it was still a blast to root along and pick apart. I would definitely watch this one again.
BTW - You should Google "Thanos" and click the gauntlet on the far right for a fun little trick.
