I haven't seen Endgame yet but I think you've summed it up nicely. For me, it's about the journey of each character. As moviegoers we've become invested in the them, just as with any show. I grew up reading a lot of Marvel comics so can relate to the films in different ways. Comics were an escape for me as a teenager, so the films imho are an obvious extension of that.

@Bfd70:

try “I was never really here.” About as bleak as it gets…save for maybe “The Road” which ismambleak love story.

Both of these are amazing with the former being quite astonishing.

The Rover, which also stars Guy Pearce, is bleak as well

for you wondering about the decision and the direction of endgame, here's a really good interview by the NY times with the scriptwriters.

beware, SPOILERS AHEAD.

I went to see Endgame yesterday (finally!) with my son. It's very good. They did a good job bringing together all the loose ends. I have a couple peeves here and there, but overall I'd say 8/10, maybe more.

Anyone else pumped for the new John Wick? Just reserved seats for the premiere and can’t wait.

Folks were debating the merits of grim movies a while ago and on this vein, I’d like to suggest Zahler’s latest, ”Dragged Across Concrete”, for friends of the genre… All 3 of his movies are an odd combination of awkwardness and holy sh*t -moments and they definitely stand out among the more standard fare.

Yup. We love John Wick in our house. I won’t be able to see it on opening day though. My wife is in NYC for work and I’ll be in Indiana.

I think there are a lot of John Wick fans here… I basically think they're the best drinking flicks ever made... And hangover pics... Or just lazy midday films...

Currently watching a Korean flick called “The Chaser”. Great movie, quite disturbing.

Or for people that love dogs…

Or guns...

Or really anything...

The Continental is the one truth and John Wick is our savior

There aren't any movie theaters in Indiana?

She won’t let me see it without her

I don’t get the love for the John Wick films. They are ok at best. I think it’s because I struggle to really see Keanu as a badass.

Fair enough.  My wife has zero interest, which is good, since we can never go anywhere by ourselves. I can't remember the last non G rated movie we saw together in a theater.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: still P.E.R.F.E.C.T.

This looks awesome

And yet, he is pretty legitimately a badass if I'm not mistaken, at least with a gun.

[DougNg]

He trained with Taran Butler for JW2 and 3. Taran is arguably one of the best competitive shooters on the planet.

[DougNg]

There were ten sets of identical working guns from JW3 recently for sale.

Not sure if they sold out yet, they're about $18k for the set.

I'm not going to lie, I was really tempted to cash in part of my retirement and buy this.

The pencil is a nice touch… 

What's to the right of the pistols?
