I enjoyed it, mainly based on my fears that they were going to try and forcefully intertwine Gaiman's interpretation of the whole thing. That would have been way more awkward...Yeah it was long, but I like what they did. The slow build that they too were recycled caretakers of this planet, (until it was time to flush everything down the commode and start it all over again), was a better twist than them being on earth and not knowing who eachother was after all these millenia. Because they saved earth, they can now leave that storyline and work on the cosmic scale, rather than sticking around and being a bunch of invincible & immortal protectors of Earth.
I look at this movie the same way as when the first Thor movie came out. It gives us a glimpse of what's next as they broaden the scope of the MCU. I know a few of yall are getting hung up by your own political issues in how this movie was casted & written. Get over yourself and grow up. This is about to get way way Sci fi...
Very good to see them stay true to the Celestials. Gives everything a much larger perspective. Arashem's voice was perfect. I now expect Galactus to be even better than that whenever he's introduced. I could watch 10 movies about all that shit.
So they use this movie to also give you a glimpse of Black Night & Blade? Ok...and what do Pip & Starfox have to do with all this? A Celestial jailbreak? Fuck only knows...but you can bet on it being a very large buildup.. I wonder if they'll try the Thanos resurrection arc..
Bottom line, I give it an A because of how well they fit this all in.
