It’s truly the Avengers’ world. The opening weekend of “Avengers: Endgame” demolished box office records with a stunning $350 million in North America and $1.2 billion worldwide. Disney-Marvel’s fourth and final Avengers superhero movie has captivated moviegoers, accounting for more than four of every five tickets sold domestically. “Avengers: Endgame” topped the year-old “Avengers: Infinity War” records by nearly $100 million domestically and a jaw-dropping $560 million worldwide.

It´s extraordinary. I won´t spoil it in case you plan to see it. For those of us who have watched these movies and grown to love these characters, it´s everything I would have wanted it to be. Even the critics love it. And if you don´t like Marvel movies, that´s fine too. I´ll like it enough for both of us.

This one´s for the fans.

My husband and I usually drag ourselves to one movie a year. And I wouldn´t cry if we skipped that tradition from now on.

Most years, it´s a movie like "The Avengers". And we have enjoyed them.

Sadly, so many of the actors in these movies have started to take advantage of their fame and celebrity status to publicly preach socialist ideals and to constantly bash President Trump. When the actor that plays Captain America started doing it, that just so massively turned me off and we have no desire in the least to go see this movie. It may be the greatest movie ever made, but it will have to be so without our support of money.

I truly wish actors, singers, and other entertainers would just shut up and do their art!!! Stop alienating half of your potential fan base and ruining movies, music, art, etc, etc...

Can´t say i disagree about some of the stars spouting their stupidity and hate for our president. But I am dying to see this movie.

#1 and I share some interesting movie history together, if I´m remembering correctly, and I understand that position. I too have learned forego some things I love because I can´t stand where they are coming from.

However, one of the many things I like about Marvel Studios is the refreshing lack of political posturing in their movies. With the exception of Black Panther, which I thought was agenda-driven and overrated, I´ve found them to be refreshingly free of political bias.

Marvel makes movies that are well worth watching. To make movies, they need to employ actors. Actors, in my experience, are not invariably over-contaminated by common sense. Nonetheless, some of them do their best work here, and all of them put their hearts into this film.

It´s a valentine to all the kids that grew up believing a man could fly. I understand if some won´t want to see it, but I truly wish you would.

I have never liked any of the super hero movies. Just not my cup of tea. Watched George Reeves play Superman in the 1950´s but that is as far as my interest goes. Obviously billions of people love them and from what I have read this is a great movie. And I too wish these entertainers would just do what they do and leave politics alone. I have a hard time separating them from their art and their politics which causes me not to open my wallet to support their craft.

I am with #4 We don´t go to movies anymore and I don´t have much interest in ´superhero´ movies. I am sure it´s a good film and I use to eat up all the old sci-fi serials and Republic Pictures westerns. That was 60 years ago though. Anything I want to see, I stream. It´s a lot cheaper and much more comfortable.

For a "comic-book movie," this one is a true cinematic achievement. (Not that the academy would ever recognize it as such, but clearly the fans will.) If you´re a fan of the Marvel films, you will be amazed at how neatly Endgame ties up ten years of filmmaking and 20+ films, and it doesn´t miss a beat. It is everything you would hope it to be.

Culturally, the last time we saw something like this was the end of the original Star Wars trilogy back in the early 80s. (One might include the end of the Prequel trilogy in the early 2000s, but I´m not sure the culture as a whole was as wrapped up in the prequels.)

I think Marvel has managed to penetrate even deeper into the public conscious than the Star Wars saga did. Especially after the most recent disappointment there. (As a fan from the very beginning, it pains me to admit that.) That´s not to say that the epic mythology of the Star Wars saga can´t make a recovery, but for now, Marvel has worked a true cinematic wonder.

If you´re a fan at all, go see it. You won´t be disappointed.

Uh, OK. Whatever. I didn´t read those comic books, likely won´t bother with the movie unless an intelligent friend recommends it.

This isn´t movie-making. It is CGI arranging. Adherents are apparently hooked on the stuff.

I´m almost 70. I grew up with the comic books and have seen all the movies with the exception of Captain Marvel (I don´t like Brie Larson). I´m going for sure and from what I fear, Marvel may make the rest of the movies "woke". So if they do, bye guys, it was fun while it lasted.

Writer with so little imagination that they make movies from comic books. Viewers deserve better than this.

The Secret Service is closing the investigation into the White House cocaine discovery because of a 'lack of evidence' in a stunning move just 11 days after the drugs were abandoned in a West Wing locker. Furious Republicans have called the shuttering of the probe 'ridiculous' and accused the Biden administration of a 'cover-up,' with agents unable to find a suspect despite poring over surveillance footage for more than a week.(Snip)Trump-era CBP Director and longtime FBI agent Mark Morgan told DailyMail.com last week that the case is 'straightforward' and could be solved in the matter of 30 minutes.

President Joe Biden has authorized the military to call up 3,000 reserve troops to support operations in Europe after tens of thousands were sent there last year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a top general said Thursday. Although it is not clear whether Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin plans to actually deploy these reservists anytime soon, the move suggests that the U.S. military’s training mission in Europe, along with the deployment of several new brigades after the invasion, has stretched active-duty forces. “This reaffirms the unwavering support and commitment

SAG-AFTRA’s national board voted unanimously this morning to launch the guild’s first strike against the film and television industry since 1980. The strike is set to begin tonight one minute past midnight, with picketing at all the major studios. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher and National Executive Director and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland are speaking a press briefing at the guild’s national headquarters in Los Angeles. With the Writers Guild strike now in its 73rd day, this will be the first time that actors and writers have been on strike at the same time since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild.

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said Thursday on NewsNation’s “Cuomo” that he would not pardon former President Donald Trump if he were found guilty in the classified documents case. Anchor Chris Cuomo asked, “Would you even consider pardoning Trump or Biden whatever the combination of, you know, parties to any action or at that time, would you even consider that as president?” Christie said, “I can’t imagine a circumstance, as we see it right now, let’s say with the documents case, which is the only one that the president would have jurisdiction over, given what’s alleged in the indictment, if that were proven, and

Former President Donald Trump, up by double digits over every GOP opponent in the critical early-voting state of Iowa, took a swing at the state’s popular Republican governor — and it may have backfired. Some influential Republicans in the state tell The Washington Times that Mr. Trump‘s social media attack on Gov. Kim Reynolds has caused them to rethink their support. They believe many others will follow. “She’s more popular here than he is, by far,” said Cody Hoefert, the former co-chair of the Iowa Republican Party. “And when he goes after her, that doesn’t bode well for him.”
Biden administration to buy air conditioning

The White House is touting its decision to buy air conditioners as a part of a plan to promote "equity and environmental justice" during a historic heat wave that it attributes to climate change. A Tuesday memo from the Biden administration said that heat wave included record-high daily high temperatures in several areas of the country. The plan cited its $3.85 billion Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program that it said helped lower cooling costs and will provide air conditioning units for low-income households for over 6 million households. "The situation is alarming, and it requires an all-of-society response to

He’s been having a difficult time, being led around by the other foreign leaders, even with them having to physically move him into place. On Wednesday, he couldn’t even get Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s name right and snapped at a reporter who dared to ask Zelensky how soon after the war was over would he want to join NATO.But one of the other points of Biden’s trip was to talk about climate change.

Joe Biden made several of the wrong sorts of headlines during his recent trip to England and then to the NATO summit. First, there were the awkward interactions between the President, the Welsh Guards, and King Charles III. Then there were more bad visuals during the summit in Vilnius. As Karen already discussed yesterday, one of the agenda items that had a lot of people talking was Biden’s decision to skip the leadership dinner and return to his hotel room in Lithuania. A few different reasons were offered for that. There was the public excuse given by his staff who said that the

The dethroned king of beers has fallen on hard times. Its short-lived dalliance with fake woman Dylan Mulvaney and implicit endorsement of the Left’s efforts to force us all to accept the trans madness has not only cost Bud Light its position as America’s top-selling beer, but the Drag Queen of beers isn’t even in the top ten anymore. Bud Light is now the 14th-best-selling beer in the United States, and fairly soon, Anheuser-Busch executives will look back fondly at the days when it was as high as 14th place. The financial news site Benzinga reported Monday that “a recent YouGov survey reveals the decline in Bud Light’s ranking,

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., both reached the donor requirement set forth by the Republican National Committee (RNC) to participate in the first GOP presidential debate scheduled for late August. Christie, who was polling at around 1% in late June, said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper Wednesday that his campaign "went past 40,000 unique donors in just 35 days." "And [to] give you some perspective because I ran eight years ago, in 35 days eight years ago, we had 5,000 donors. Over 40,000 donors now," Christie said. "There is a donor in every state in America, and

A Nobel Prize-winning physicist has criticized alarmist climate predictions and said that he does not believe that there is a climate crisis. During his speech at the “Quantum Korea 2023” event, Dr. John Clauser said, “I don’t believe there is a climate crisis,” according to a report by Seoul Economic Daily that has been translated into English by the CO2 Coalition. Clauser added that “key processes are exaggerated and misunderstood by approximately 200 times” and accused the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of spreading misinformation.
