One endgame, 182 minutes, 14,000,605 possibilities and $1.2 billion dollars in box office receipts later, "Avengers: Endgame" is finally here. As proven by its insane box office take — $350 million of that $1.2 billion was made domestically, making it the top-earning opening for any American movie ever — a lot of people have seen it already.
This article is for those who have seen the movie already. We asked around to our WFAA colleagues about what they thought of the movie. Here are their responses.
