    Masterpiece.

    A fantastic resolution to the 22 movie series.

    Tried to see it in Manila on the 24th but absolutely every cinema was sold out and you have to remember that in Mall of Asia you can fit at least 1000 people in each theatre and there are more than 6 screens in MoA, plus they were showing 24 hours a day they had performances at 2am and 6am and all other hours through the night and it was all sold out.

    In the end I booked online then found I could not pay, SM Cinema website is absolute s**t, but I managed to jump through some hoops and eventually paid with Grab Pay.

    The kids absolutely loved it, and the experience being there with a thousand other Filipino's cheering and gasping clapping and screaming was something else.

    When you add the masterful delicate and emotional resolution of so many threads in the MCU it was a marvellous (pun intended) end to this chapter of the MCU, I grew up with these characters in the 1960s and 1970s and as a child fan now an old adult I am so happy to still be around to see them brought to life, and for one of the great Marvel stories adapted to the big screen in such spectacular fashion.

    MOA cinema is crazy like that. I remember being there and it was the same for Transformers. Nearly every screen showing it and massive queues.

    I was a little disappointed with what they did with Thor. Unnecessary comic content

    He looked a lot more Norse :) I quite enjoyed what they did with him and he is one of my all time favourite characters in the Marvel universe.

    They also had to manage having too many nearly omnipotent god like characters like Captain Marvel running around and I thought they handled that well.

    I'm going to go see it again in the UK soon.

    If Captain Marvel had turned up during Guardians of the Galaxy then we would have finished the series about 6 films early.

    I enjoyed the Captain Marvel film but I miss the original, in my day Captain Marvel was a 'he' not a 'she' and his sidekick was Rick Jones, it is hard to write good stories for any character that powerful.

    It was a good film. I am sure she will be in line for quite a few movies. I never read Captain Marvel so have no expectations. I was a Hulk and spiderman person which brought in Thor and Fantastic 4.

    X-Men around about 1966 was the first Yankee mag comic I got into, shortly after that Fantastic 4, the Hulk, Thor, Doctor Strange, I took a break until the early 1970s where I got back into the mags properly and built a collection of quite a few, which I still have.
