Most of us won’t get to see Avengers: Endgame for a few days yet, but those lucky few who got an early glimpse started sharing reactions on social media Monday night.
And so far, it’s looking like a superpowered success. (No spoilers ahead.)

“Avengers: Endgame is a masterful epic — a true culmination of 22 films that not only concludes the story, but expands upon it,” tweeted Erik Davis, managing editor at Fandango. “You’ll learn more about the other movies while this one unfolds. If Infinity War is the brawn, Endgame is the brains. And wow, what an ending!”

Critic Scott Mantz dubbed it the “greatest superhero movie EVER,” and loaded up on capital letters.

Davis and Mantz weren’t alone. Most of those who shared their reactions on social seemed to be as in love with the movie as Captain America is with Peggy Carter. Writer Mark Hughes called it “the film of the year,” and warned fans to “reset your expectations AGAIN.”
Wow. #AvengersEndgame is staggering. It’s surprising in ways I never saw coming and satisfying in ways I didn’t realize I needed. It’s kind of the ultimate gift to fans of the MCU. It’s very long and has a few hiccups, but is everything you’re hoping for and more. pic.twitter.com/RO97kw9fs5

#AvengerEndgame is an immensely satisfying payoff, not just to Infinity War but to all the films that came before. This is why the MCU. (And I say this as someone who was not especially enamored of Infinity War, FWIW.) ♥️💙💜

I was not prepared for the range of emotions that #Endgame put me through, from utter despair to pure elation. I laughed, I cried, I wished Tony Stark was my dad.

“I am an emotional wreck and can’t stop crying,” tweeted Maude Garrett.

Bring your tissues and don’t forget to stop off at the bathroom before you settle in for three hours of emotion. Avengers: Endgame opens April 24 in Australia, April 25 in the UK and April 26 in the US.
