    Rumours abound that it's long. Can you confirm or deny.

    Donâ??t get the hate for the â??phasesâ?. Did you not expect for them to ever reference the original Avengers again? Iron Man recruited Spider-Man. Upon his death was he just supposed to forget him? Iâ??d be surprised if he wasnâ??t brought up in the next Black Panther or Dr. Strange movie.

    Yes, and it feels it, but it's possibly a metaphor for how Swedish summer days never end.

    You should end phases conclusively or on a cliffhanger otherwise it's Coronation Street and why bother having them.

    I feel like killing off Iron Man and Captain America, and putting Thor into The Guardians, is about as conclusively as they've ended a phase. Is a teenage Spider-Man getting a second movie really a betrayal of that?

    Have to say that the Second/Third act fight scenes were some of the best sequences in a long while. I'm not usually wow-ed by CGI sequences in a live-action film, but damn, did those fights look like they came right off a comic book page.

    As far as the "Phase Three or Four" conversation; at best this film served as a great epilogue to three, at worst it will be in the wrong box set. I see no issue.

    Is the 4k quality noticeable?

    Also weird question my friend and I were curious as to whether they changed the Wachowski's names on the end credits

    Presumably it always looked nice when projected in a cinema and the main difference is the scenes inside the Matrix have a green tinge instead of the blue of the original (later versions of The Matrix had that change to make it consistent with the sequels). The detail is enough that you can see that Neo has a pierced ear in both the Matrix and the real world (entirely ruined the movie) but the same is probably true of my blu-ray copy.

    I honestly wasn't paying attention at the end of the screening; too busy jamming along to Wake Up. The digital version of Revolutions I rented the other day had their former names. Is it a hot take that Revolutions is better than Reloaded? Because both are packed full of characters nobody could possibly care about but Revolutions has honestly far superior action scenes. The freeway chase is fine. Nothing in either touches the lobby scene from the original.
