I talked to my barber about the film before I saw it. Without giving any spoilers, he said that he understood why the film ended the way he did as he'd been a Marvel comic reader since childhood but that it still made him angry. I never read the Marvel comics but have thoroughly enjoyed the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and enjoyed this one as well but am puzzled if not quite angry about the film ending. I'm really wondering how the MCU films go forward from here, particularly the specific follow-up film for this one.
Note that they did NOT have the typical short bit promoting the next film as the credit started to roll. They do, however, have a short bit at the very end, after the seemingly endless credits. This wasn't so much about the next film as a little more detail about this film.
Note also that the film is long, about 2 1/2 hours. If you don't want to miss any of the action (and there is a ton of it), you might want to go light on the beverages before starting the movie! My back teeth were swimmin' by the time we got out of the theater!
