Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish. 
This is more of a full-fledged review with some extra observations that sprang to mind, thinking about the movie. For anyone who's interested.
Finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on this one. I had heard plenty of good things about it from my parents, though I had yet to see it. Finally, we rung in the new year by watching "Galaxy Quest" with dinner.
And all in all?
It was fun. Good mindless monster mash of a film. Funny how much some of the stuff with Kong in the movie made me think, just a little, of Primal. If only for the lack of dialogue and the importance of character through action and expression.
Hello all. Just wanted to check in this Sunday (Easter Sunday, for any churchgoing types out there) and wish you all well.
Hope that the year has been okay for everybody. March wasn't the best month for me, I was sick at the start of it and only around the last week have I really felt 100% again, but I'm hoping for things to pick up going forward from here.
Best wishes, eh?
And while I won't be dropping any spoilers until the full write-up...
Whoo-hoo, what a ride that was. 
It was thrilling, dramatic, emotional, and still had some good moments of humor too.
I really enjoyed myself. Definitely a worthy culmination to an era of moviemaking that started back in 2008 with RDJ and Iron Man.

This was a good finale to this era of the MCU. Is this was where the MCU ended, I would be fine with that.

You make a good point. This would be a really good note to end the MCU on, in all honesty.
I was actually talking to my dad a bit about this sort of thing. Comic-books go ever on and on from month to month, but here in the movies we have... a greater degree of permanence. Look at how some of these characters have changed from their first movie and how they ended up at the end of this one. Really interesting to ponder...

Comics can't really have a definitive Act 3, they can't really have a The End. There's resets, reboots, reissues, redoes, the concept of permanence is not one you really see in comics. Movies have to have an Act 3, they need a The End. They can't just press a reset button and everything goes back to how it was before. Things have impact. Professor Hulk is a prime example. Hulk and Bruce don't GET a permanent happy ending in comics, and here, they're one. They have become one.

Exactly! Couldn't have put it better myself! I love that scene with Hulk in the diner, and he takes a selfie with those kids. It's doubly sweet because he's got fame and acceptance now, but unlike on Sakaar where it was for being a brutal gladiator, here he's got the best of both worlds: people like him for being The Hulk, but with Banner's gentle personality. Truly the best of both worlds

While not as powerful or tough as "Savage Hulk" because a lot of that immense power and durability came from an endless well of rage, he's fine. He isn't afraid of himself anymore. And people aren't afraid of HIM anymore. They don't see a monster. They see a man. And that alone has probably done wonders for Bruce's mental health.
5052086
I'm sure of that too.
Oh, btw, what'd you think of Fat Thor?
5052087
That was surreal. You don't expect that sort of thing, you can't see it coming. It's friggin THOR, I mean, it makes sense when you consider all the shot he's been through but, holy shit.
5052089
Indeed so. It's completely unexpected, but it works, and manages to be both hilarious and sad all at once. Hilarious is Thor yelling at someone on Fortnite. Sad is him breaking down when meeting his mother again... Although on another level, I'm also amused by the Fat Thor thing because now he REALLY looks like Volstagg of the Warriors Three. XD

I kinda see it.His breaking down makes sense when you consider that the events of Infinity War are DAYS after Thor Ragnarok at best, and the first part of Endgame days after that at best. He lost damn near everything in days. And then he failed. He could not stop Thanos. Because he didn't go for the head. And when he finally got to kill him, it meant nothing.

Yep, I totally agree.
