Maybe if JJ would have shown the Jedi of the Past as force ghost so we could put faces to the voices. If Qui Gon Jinn would have shown up as a force ghost or Anikin Skywalker... I would have shit a horse!
This clip from a screening of Avengers Endgame makes me realize just how badly The Rise of Skywalker dropped the ball.

My favorite hype moment is still Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - The Ride of Rohan:
Lord Of The Rings Death ! Death !!! Army of Rohan vs orcs

I don't think anything will ever top this.
This and when Gandalf showed up at Helm's Deep in TTT. My audience went nuts both times.
I watched it opening night IMAX Glasgow. There was some sounds but nothing like that. I can fucking guarantee every person though was making those sounds internally.
Endgame was an amazing send off I loved it and still put the last hour at least on once or twice a month to enjoy with my son.

I mean, at this point who cares? We don't know half of Red Squadron in ANH but the film goes out of its way to show them checking in. At least here it'll have meaning to some people and not just "Oh, it's just 'people'."
I typically don't like fan edits but even just audio adds more to this scene than what we got:

But OP, Marvel bad, and cheering to Marvel bad
Seriously tho, I loved the sports like atmosphere of most superhero movies. Would I want that for any other genre? Ehhh, aside from maybe horror, probably not.
Thor sniping Thanos in Infinity War was probably the best pop I've heard in a non-stadium.

I never got to experience The Matrix in theaters but the last movie for that made me feel something coming out of it was Fury Road. I was just so energized walking out of Fury Road, like I could just sprint home. The closest feeling I can use to describe it was the feeling I get walking out of a heavy metal concert.
Edit: Wrong quote.
I mean the Unimind scene ain't that far away. I alone will be 10x that hype by myself.
Haha, it's just anecdotal but yeah, that was my theater experience too. Muted attempts at fizzled out clapping.
I thought it was more because it's hard to act with a mask on.
Ugh, I've seen Rebels and Clone Wars but this just sounds like the distracting kind of fanservice.It may have been something that would have pleased the hardcore fans more than the general audience but they should have gone full Endgame Portals with the fleet arriving like the novel.
Show Jacen and Hera in the Ghost, show Zay and Shriv from Inferno Squadron, show the Ace pilots from Resistance. Have some pay off with all of this world building outside of the movies.
The novel excerpt for those curious:
We knew everything we needed to know about these characters. The plot just dropped the ball and reversed their character development and/or added unlikeable traits.

Yes, mainly because I actually thought it was impossible for TROS to be a box office disappointment.
So Endgame? The movie that is literally fan service and greatest hits the movie?
You ever notice how moments like this are rarely ever have dialogue and rely on visuals and music to carry the emotional heavy lifting? That's because they expect this sort of reaction.
Like when all the voices of the Jedi show up to encourage Rey and I'm left thinking wait who was that.
Yeah, but the scene when they're just arriving and standing there. Plus a lot of their masks are digital (or at least partially) anyway
There's good fanservice
-Yoda appearing in TLJ to give Luke one last lesson before he dies
-Rey catching the lightsaber while the skywalker theme plays
and bad fanservice
-Luke with a bad wig raising his clearly broken x-wing out of the water so that we can get a shot of Rey in Luke's x-wing wearing his helmet
The Force Awakens was actually choke full of pure fanservice moments that make you feel like a kid again. So many perfertly crafted scanes
-Han smiling in the cockpit of the falcon
-C3PO interrupting Leia's already amazing reintroduction
-Han and Leia talking
etc.
they just missed the mark so bad when it came to TROS.
I fucking hate how whooping and hollering is the de-facto way to show emotions in cinema, and if you don't like hearing it while trying to watch the movie, you're considered boring or snobby.
I wanna watch the movie ffs, not hear a bunch of dorks scream like it's the super bowl.
During the most hypest moments in Avengers, yeah I felt excited, I grimaced and mouthed shit, but I wasn't yelling because it's not a fucking concert; it's a showing of a movie. Would y'all be doing the same at the theatre?

Don't forget the 5 second shot of Luke laughing at the camera
If you voluntarily make noise in the cinema, you're a selfish fuck. Laughter or gasps of surprise are fine because they're involuntary.
Getting excited and hyped is great, too. But if you literally can't stop yourself from whooping and clapping in the cinema because you're excited, you have the self-control of a two-year old and probably shouldn't be allowed in a cinema to begin with.

There's "I'm too old for this shit" and then there's this:
*Filmmakers literally spend years crafting moments in their films that are almost scientifically supposed to first and foremost cause the audience to cheer*
*Audience cheers, giving the exact reaction the film makers expected and wanted*
You:
Showing consideration to others isn't being a prude. I paid to hear the movie. Nobody paid to hear you announce your excitement because you want to make everybody else's cinema experience about you. How desperate for validation do you have to be to force other people to know that you're excited - whether they feel the same way or not.
We knew so much about them that the third film in the trilogy had to completely invent what two of the main characters' relationship with each other was (Rey and Poe) because they hadn't properly interacted at all by the end of the second film. TROS of dropped the ball in a catastrophic fashion but there were plenty of missteps along the way that just compounded the failure.
That's the thing is that these characters didn't need to meet, time had clearly passed, a relationship had formed as a result. Rey and Poe before the ending of TLJ meeting doesn't add anything to the last two films.
There's literally zero dialogue in these parts of movies because they expect these sorts of reactions. With an overbearing score punctuating the visuals. Exactly what crucial things are you not hearing?
I'm glad that these posts exist and are sincere
Y'all remember your theater's reaction to Tony getting stabbed by Thanos? Coming off the heels of Strange and Thanos doing crazy shit in their dual the hype at the start of the fight was insane. Then you watch Tony get shanked and lose and let me tell ya, that brought the sharpest change in tone to an audience I've seen. So good.
I'm not normally fond of such environments for anything that's not live, it feels too forced. However this was earned and that first portal opening and hammer time got me.
My favourite reaction is still at the end of fellowship of the ring when a dad said that can't be the end the ring wasn't thrown in the volcano, he then told his kids to wait while he went off to see the manager. I'll always regret not hearing that conversation but damn he was fast and I needed a piss.

Infinity War and Endgame even more so are an insane roller coaster of emotions.
Holy shit yes. This is where the audio cues should have been, and the Jedi should have actually been present as Force Ghosts with Rey and Ben.
