Oof. Radio silence going forward.
As in you are avoiding spoilers? I hear that.Oof. Radio silence going forward.
So looking at some of the comments, there is speculation that all movies get first reactions like this from fanboys. Since I have never been that interested in first reactions to a movie, I don't know if this is true or not. Anybody have any insight as too how geeked I should be about these rave reviews?More reactions, spoiler free:

If those reactions are true, we are in for an epic movie.
Some of those people are actual critics.So looking at some of the comments, there is speculation that all movies get first reactions like this from fanboys.

Gotcha. So I should be somewhat geeked.Some of those people are actual critics.
Fantastic.I have watched this on loop all morning. Great rendition of a classic by Fallon and the Avengers cast!

I would say yes, but I also would have guessed the same for Infinity War.Is Avatar's ten-year-old gross sales record finally in serious jeopardy?
What’s amazing is I guarantee you don’t know even one person who likes Avatar.I would say yes, but I also would have guessed the same for Infinity War.
Oh, I know one.What’s amazing is I guarantee you don’t know even one person who likes Avatar.

I thought it was fine, I just preferred the Disney animated version, Fern Gulley.What’s amazing is I guarantee you don’t know even one person who likes Avatar.
Wasn't Disney, superfan.I thought it was fine, I just preferred the Disney animated version, Fern Gulley.
Just learned this digging around on boxofficemojo.com: Avatar grossed about $2 billion outside the U.S. That's pretty insane.What’s amazing is I guarantee you don’t know even one person who likes Avatar.
I enjoyed Avatar, too, but did not see it in the theater. Seen it maybe four or five times on cable.I liked it for the technical aspects.What’s amazing is I guarantee you don’t know even one person who likes Avatar.
It was the first real 3D movie in the movies so it was a cultural phenomenon for that alone. The story itself was pretty cookie cutter and the acting was average.I enjoyed Avatar, too, but did not see it in the theater. Seen it maybe four or five times on cable.
It's storyline got about 90% of the way home -- just needed to be a tad less preachy and a little tighter. But the world-building was incredible. Still, for all the tickets sold ... it's never really maintained a cultural niche.
I think this is a key point, it was great visually in 3d and a revival of the technology.It was the first real 3D movie in the movies so it was a cultural phenomenon for that alone. The story itself was pretty cookie cutter and the acting was average.
I liked Avatar. Nobody does big production like Cameron (Avatar, Titanic, T2, Aliens). Very cool visual film.What’s amazing is I guarantee you don’t know even one person who likes Avatar.
Not seeing any spoilers in hereCan we please get this thread locked until Monday?
The shiny white star is proving far too tempting.
I've poked around on line. As of yet, there are no real spoilers circulating. Only speculative stuff from weeks ago, and I even saw where a couple of those were debunked. They have done a really good job of keeping things hush-hush. But after tomorrow, I will probably stay away until I can see the movie. My schedule is full through to Sunday afternoon and I will probably be too wiped to go then. Looking at early next week as the best shot to actually go to the movie.Not seeing any spoilers in here
This is a case where not being able to hot-link videos into posts works our advantage.
The Disney animated version was PocahontasWasn't Disney, superfan.
Don't go to reddit. Geesh...made that mistake and people that saw it last night are posting up their reviews and outlines of the movie/plot. I ran out of there quickly!I've poked around on line.

I can’t go to a theater without assigned seating anymore. The jockeying for seats feels third world and was always my least favorite part of the experience. I roll in now 5 minutes before showtime and have a craft ipa delivered before the second trailer. I can’t go back.Chaka said:Just called the theater, which unfortunately does not offer assigned seating, to see if they had any idea what type of lines to expect. He said I should be prepared to show up at least an hour early to be safe.
I haven't seen this type of hype for a film since the original Star Wars films came out.
I'm still slightly miffed that I had to give up my 1 o'clock showing because I need to pick up my 10yo at 430. Middle, back row, 3d, best theater in town.I would love assigned seats and and a drink.
At least I have IMAX.... going saturday. Should be a good weekend of watching other people on a screen entertain me more than it really should.
When you write this ... do you mean that you simply missed out on assigned-seat tickets? Or that no theaters around you have assigned seating?I would love assigned seats and and a drink.
None close enough to me that makes it possible.When you write this ... do you mean that you simply missed out on assigned-seat tickets? Or that no theaters around you have assigned seating?
Around here, between fall 2016 and fall 2016 ... all the local AMC theaters (which dominate the area) converted to assigned seating. Except their IMAX screens — those are still first-come seating. Makes IMAX much less of a draw than it once was.
I forgot:So is this the last day anyone should open this thread until they see Endgame?
Usually a pretty long lag.I forgot:
In this thread, do we usually go "open spoilers" as soon as the movie's released? Or is there some lag time where people keep using spoiler tags and such?
With as hard as it seems to be to get tickets, I'd imagine a large percentage of fans won't be seeing this for probably the next 3 weeks. I'm cool with whatever is decided, but since I'll fall into the "not going for a couple of weeks", I'm just trying to figure out what everyone is going to be posting in this thread. Wasn't sure if it would turn into a convo about the actual movie and plot, or if this would be a spoiler-free thread for a while.Spoiler everything. Be cool. No need to ruin for anyone.
Based on history it will be a lot of spoiler tagged convos with a few forgetting. I will stay out till after I see it.

In as much as I have no power over the rules here, I would offer to the group at large that we use the gentlemen code of honor here and use spoiler tags for at least 2 or 3 weeks.With as hard as it seems to be to get tickets, I'd imagine a large percentage of fans won't be seeing this for probably the next 3 weeks.
