Contains spoilers, click to show
When first read it was going to be 3 hours long it was daunting however I was gripped from the get go and time wasn't an issue because I enjoyed all of it from the moment it started. Didn't expect see antman in this as I didn't even watch the trailer as wanted to be completely surprised when I watch it. It was a roller coater of emotions to see iron man had settled down with a kid after what thanks had done 5 years prior to then die at the end it was emotional to watch for a lot of viewers as for most didn't expect that to happen. Loved how captain America finally was worthy for thors hammer and it was just an epic moment for marvel fans to see such a patriotic character to be worthy of thors hammer. The final fight scene was intense and adrenaline was rushing while watching it then just when things seemed lost the rest of the hero's turned up with the lead of dr strange. Wow what an epic entrance. For me this was best avengers film for all the right reasons and even captain America got the ending he rightly deserved

On The Basis Of Sex (2019) fails to make its case
Armie Hammer may or may not be destined to answer the Batsignal, but never fear because he’s here to answer the virtue signal as the focus-stealing Martin Ginsburg, arguably the main character of a movie which sets out to repeatedly show him as the admirable, ahead-of-his-time supportive new man whose courageous struggle with testicular cancer and subsequent building of a lucrative tax career is told against the backdrop of the groundbreaking civil rights work of his wife....

Could You Cheat Death?
The Man Who Could Cheat Death- is a decent sci-fi horror flick.
The plot: Turn-of-the-century authorities search for a killer who surgically removes his victims' thyroid glands and implants them in himself to maintain his youth.
The lead role of Bonnet was originally offered to Peter Cushing, who turned it down six days before shooting started. Cushing's reason was that he was completely exhausted 'following the shooting of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), which had just wrapped up'. The loss of Cushing caused Hammer to threaten legal action against him. However, Cushing had not signed a final contract with Hammer, and nothing could be done, although an angry Paramount, which was partly financing and distributing the film, 'relegated to picture to the lower half of double bills in the States'.
The Man Who Could Cheat Death was granted an X-certificate by the BBFC on 8 April 1959. The X-cert meant that the film could only be exhibited to people age 16 or older. The film was cut in order to get the certificate, which allowed it to be shown in the UK, but the details of what or how much was cut are unknown.
Like i said its a decent sci-fi horror flick about a madman scitentist.

I can't believe this movie has won so many awards. It was the longest 2+ hours of my life, sitting in the theater and watching this movie. The camera work was shoddy, and almost made me ill, at first I thought it was done to be artsy or something... But no. I wasn't quite sure how the two main characters managed to figure out they were interested in each other. I am also forever scarred by Elio American-Pie-ing an apricot. The only redeeming quality of this entire movie was the fact it took place in the 80s, so Armie Hammer was wearing short shorts.
