    There are two credits scenes, so wait it out. Half the theater at my showing left either at the end of the movie proper or after the mid-credits scene. Don't they know better by now?

    Haven't seen it, but really want to soon.

    Personally, though, I'm sick of the credit scenes.

    Thank you for the heads up. I knew there was one. I did not know about the second. Heading out in a half hour to see it with little OOP. (I do love advanced tickets with reserved seating.)

    I read that they added the second one between the European and U.S. releases.
    U-S-A, bitches.

    I'm excited. Just ordered tickets online, but, this theater does not have reserve seating.

    I do love reserved seating.

    We just got in. Little OOP enjoyed it, but thought Age of Ultron was better. I think part of that is because the Hulk is her favorite character.

    I thought it was very good, maybe a bit slow at times, but as good as any of the MCU movies other than Avengers, Winter Solider and the first Iron Man.

    I like this version of Spider-Man. It was a relatively small role, but they captured the humor and the power of the character. The Black Panther is even better. Bozeman nailed it. I thought most of the performances were strong and the script was solid.

    There are some things I didn't care for, but they are hard to get into without spoilers. I will say the in-credits scene is very good, but the one at the end was kinda meh.

    One thing I enjoyed (without spoiling anything, so this is going to be vague) was the way they used the tropes of this kind of movie to take it in a slightly different direction. It's weird for there not to be a traditional villain, but it really works for this particular movie. It doesn't need that.

    I promised my sons we'd go to this together, and now because of that and our schedules, I have to wait until Sunday afternoon to see it. Part of me wanted to be a bad Christian and skip church and see it Sunday morning. Jesus would understand, wouldn't he?

    Is Jesus Team Cap or Team Iron Man?

    Completely Team Cap. Iron Man gets too much strange for Jesus to be on his side.
