The first reactions to "Avengers: Endgame" are here, and the excitement is palpable.

The follow-up to "Infinity War" had its world premiere in Los Angeles Monday night, and those who were in attendance have taken to social media to share their emotional reactions to seeing the 22nd movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the big screen.

Peter Sciretta, owner and editor at /Film, said the movie went above and beyond his expectations.

Fox 5's entertainment reporter Kevin McCarthy warned fans to stay away from spoilers because the film is full of surprises that fans will love.

Mashable's entertainment editor Angie Han described the film as a "satisfying payoff."

Brandon Davis of ComicBook.com said the movie is the "perfect culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe."

Erik Davis, a managing editor at Fandango, agreed with Davis.

Kelley Carter, an entertainment reporter with ESPN, used a gif of Chris Pratt on "Parks and Recreation" to show her excitement.

Entertainment Weekly's Anthony Breznican described the movie as "epic."

Fans can feel these emotions for themselves when "Endgame" hits theaters Friday. It features the surviving characters from "Infinity War" as they try to bring back their fallen comrades, victims of Thanos' snap that killed half the universe.
