People who say the first part is boring...

Once upon a time there were movies made of three acts: The first, a slow introduction of the characters and the plot. A second made to put everything in motion and a Third to finish with a bang. That's what basic movies for people and the rest of mortals represented, and everyone was OK with this model.

Today, most movies, including Comic Book Films, tend to start with a bang and end with a bang (and sometimes bang all the way). That's today movie-making. However, going back to the old model in Avengers Endgame was not a bad thing, I believe. Going slow in order to prepare for the spectacular end has always been a good way to entertain.

So yes, I think it speaks more about the people who just don't want changes, that want the same again and again, that live on repetitions. If you want a movie that is action piece after action piece from beginning to end you already have Infinity War. Marvel is smart enough to not repeat the same formula in the next movie. But people want things the same for some odd physiologic reasons.

And yes, John Campea is just nitpicking the Marvel Cinematic Universe as always, that's what he does. If he were as harsh to nitpick on the DCEU, his show would never end, fact...

MCU characters are paper thin. Suddenly devoting time to them as if any serious drama has been imparted along the way in this circus is ridiculous.

Them.
I love heist stories.

they are entitled to their preferences, but i thought the first act was great. i almost want to say it was the most interesting & emotionally satisfying part of the film, but it would be hard to argue against the ending battle.

You would have to be in a very special mental place to genuinely criticize people for complaining that no.20 or whatever it is in a series of generally quite generic copy / paste Marvel films is "boring".

i.e. is there really anything wrong with saying "this mindless action entertainment film (not that there's anything wrong with that) doesn't match up with what I've come to expect from these mindless entertainment action films"? Or is there actually something more wrong with questioning people who may say this?

the movie.. some movies can have boring parts... crazy I know :s

I saw EG in theaters twice

came away thinking The first hour was Good, Middle or "Time Height" was decent but the weakest part of the film and The 45 Minutes was the greatest The CBM genre has ever produced...


I just watched EG again On Digital...

and I must say, My opinion has slightly changed....


I now feel the first hour is GREAT, almost Truly Great

I Still feel The last 45 Minutes is The Best the CBM genre has produced

and I middle or Time Heist Is Just WEAK...I accepted now, That for me personally, I'm just not gonna ever come around to that part of the movie.


But I'm quite Glad of how much I'm now Loving the 1st hour of the movie, Not only loving it but actually respecting it, Its Quite deep....

Overall absolutely Incredible movie

I think it might be them. I actually enjoy the dialogue heavy scenes in movies more than action. So I wasn't bored during the first half of the movie. Everything seemed to fly by too. Plus this movie is like 20+ movies in. We had time to get to know them and stuff. So it's nice seeing dialogue heavy scenes with them before getting to the action. My only problem with the first half was pretty much half the humor. The movie is supposed to be a serious situation and I didn't like they were throwing constant humor into dramatic/serious scenes. For example, the whole scene of them recruiting Hulk to help out with the time travel could've been more effective and stuff if they just stuck with the recruiting part and not turn it into a humor scene with the whole selfie stuff and Hulk and Ant-Man arguing about it. The scene should've stuck "straight to the point" and focused on recruiting Hulk to help them out. There would be humor in other parts of the movie. Also, the whole Fortnite crap could've been cut too. That bit is going to make the movie feel dated. I'm pretty sure in like 5-10 years, Fortnite won't be a thing. So when watching the movie again in 5-10 years, everyone will be like "this movie is so 2017-2019" because of Fortnite when it was in its prime/peak.

But I do notice that whenever someone or anyone says a movie is boring or slow, it's always the dialogue scenes and no action is happening. There is no fighting or explosions. So it looks like people just want constant explosions and fighting for 2-3 hours instead of getting to know characters and the story/narrative of the movie. I always watch a movie with this thought that "okay this movie is going to get boring in this part of the movie from what people are saying in their reviews." Then I watch the movie and it never felt slow or boring and eventually the end credits start rolling and stuff. So I come to the conclusion the "boring" or "slow" part was when there was ZERO action happening onscreen.
