Yeah, I loved it.  It was way better than Infinity War, and in fact I think it was probably the best movie in the whole series.  There were just so many great moments where the whole theater, (myself included) actually cheered out loud.

Even though it made the first part of the movie pretty slow, I really liked that they took the time to show the aftermath of the snap and how all the heroes dealt with the emotional cost. I also thought the time travel stuff was really well done, and I liked how it gave callbacks to a lot of the previous movies in the series, especially the behind-the-scenes heist going on in the background of the first Avenger's movie.  It was also really funny to see the opening credits scene from Guardians of the Galaxy from an outside perspective of someone not wearing Starlord's headphones. I also loved it when Warmachine ran down the list of time travel movies (including Bill and Ted!)

It seemed like all the original Avengers got very satisfying conclusions to their stories, especially with Natasha getting all the red off her ledger and Steve finally getting back to make his date with Peggy Carter. While Tony's end was sad, it was fitting, and in retrospect they definitely set it up well with his near death at the beginning to neatly bookend the film. His echo of the last line from the first Iron Man movie as he made that snap was also just so satisfying.

Particular high notes for me were when Cap picked up that hammer, and when he picked himself off the ground with a broken shield to make that walk where he faced down an entire army on his own. That fight between Black Widow and Hawkeye over who got to sacrifice themselves was also really gut-wrenchingly great, and provided a nice contrast to Thanos' actions in the same situation in the first film.

re: cap and new timeline. what if it happened like it was supposed to all along?

I think that could be what the ancient one was getting at.

Also - 5 years passed...how did Peter go back to school and everyone was the same age?

I’ve been thinking about it all weekend and it still seems really awesome

Everyone he knows also got snapped I guess. It's definitely something they are likely to largely ignore. The entire logistic ramifications of half the worlds population showing back up after 5 years is way too messy to really be handled in a way that is both accurate/meaningful and preserves the sense of actual victory. Spouses could have remarried, homes and jobs are gone, etc.
