Spectacular CGI, Celebs, and Too Long

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2019)

After the defeat by Thanos (Josh Brolin) -in the 2018 Infinity Wars - who used the Infinity Stones to wipe out trillions of the world's population, the Avengers come together to put things (people) back in the world and in doing so they realize some sacrifices must be made. Oh, Oh!
This movie is a good 3-hours long. The first hour could have been cut to 10-minutes as the music was dreary, the Avengers dialogues were slow, dreary and almost defeatist, and they weren't sure how to get the people back and this went on for too long a time. Too long a time. Then Scott/Ant (Paul Rudd) says they must go back in Time to a time before Thanos gets the stones. And that is how they plan to do it.
The rest of the movie has the Avengers going after the stones, then overly long CGI battles take over, but to be fair here you will see many of your celebs.

Jackson as Nick Fury only seen in one of the last scenes; Anthony Mackie as Sam/Falcon; Karen Gillan as Nebula; John Slattery as Howard Stark, Tony Stark's father; and Stan Lee as Stan Lee, a driver. There were more, but I don't know of everyone. Maybe you do. Have at it.
Best line: No amount of money ever bought a second of time. Next best: Ant: "Somebody peed In my pants. Don't know if it was baby me or old me." This happened when they were experimenting going back in time. Funny.
Here is a movie you can enjoy in 3-ways: The spectacular CGI, all the celebrities, and the endings ("they" go on for a while) and you will like.....maybe. Not sure I like the idea of a talking Fox. Is this put in for the kids? (Believe he is from another planet)
A couple times we did hear some catchy toe-tapping music. Could have used more.
Didn't understand all the hype with this movie. Way too long, but then, they needed to get all the celebs in. That first dreary hour was a killer, not good. Production wise all was very good. (7/10)
