Come anticipate CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR with me

i have seen them, unfortunately. after awhile all the footage of cities being destroyed kind of runs together.

the recent marvel movies i missed have been ant-man, x men - days of future past, the last two spider-man reboots, and deadpool (you couldn't pay me to see the latter)

btw only one of those is a "marvel" movie

ok fanboy

i know what you mean but jeez

Morbs is funny tho

This seems to be the plot for winter soldier all over again.

I'd categorise eg Sam Rockwell building thousands of crazed iron man suits as a reasonable threat to humanity, particularly if it happens while the right music plays and superheroes frown enough in panning shots.

Preview screening reviews are glowing. Lots of "best MCU movie yet"-level praise.

Ppl said winter soldier was great, I found it v forgettable. Plus this seems to be the same movie.

That said, I caught second avengers movie long after the hype and thought it far better than I'd read

Winter Soldier feels as if everyone had a good time making it. So kinda the opposite of BvS.

winter soldier is my favorite MCU film by a fair stretch, so if this is like that, omfg

considering all of the fan hype suggesting Snyder had reinvigorated the superhero genre with BvS after previews, I'm gonna wait until there's some critic appraisal.

still tho i think this will be dope

After a dozen films and a few tv shows, I think the MCU brain trust has a good handle on what parts of the print history are ripe for mining and which aren't (and fighting in the ranks is part of Marvel DNA going back to FF#1), whereas the DCCU brain trust (if there actually is one) is split between "run away from 75 years of rich Hero's Journey iconography" and "roll d20 to determine Batman's next move."

yeah the consistency re: Marvel's brand is pretty good. even managed to beat the Curse of the Threequel w/ Iron Man.

yeah but we have to suffer through IM2 to get that
like how do you screw up Demon in a Bottle srsly

I'm seeing a lot of praise for Tom Holland/Spider-Man & Chadwick Boseman/Black Panther as some of the better parts of the movie. I'm excited!

xpost yeah weirdly the Threequel curse hit Iron Man in the second installment.

it's kinda funny how much of a big deal Mickey Rourke was not that long ago, with his career resurgence in the early 00s. they even threw him in that garbage Expendables flick. which isn't to say that he wasn't good in any of those flicks but I think IM2 creators banked too much on him elevating that mess.

this is the direction the Avengers team needed to go after a second straight group pic involving a city attacked by unusual forces.

loved Winter Soldier so I'm jonesing for this one

i remember almost nothing about winter soldier

Everybody says that but I remember most all of it and I only saw it once.

if nothing else i will always remember Garry Shandling's "Hail Hydra"

The opening scene in Washington is pretty perfect. Natasha rolling up in her car and asking Sam and Steve 'Do you know the way to the Smithsonian? I'm looking for a fossil' probably shouldn't work, but it seems so playful.

Also the fight scenes in Winter Soldier were the best.

elevator

so awesome <3

elevator!

yeah the consistency re: Marvel's brand is pretty good. even managed to beat the Curse of the Threequel w/ Iron Man.

Iron Man 3 rules. Shane Black was the perfect choice. Apparently he's doing the next Predator movie, which I am stoked beyond belief for.

if it's not set at xmas i'll be very disappointed

feel like ppl should lower their expectations...
while i was a big fan of Winter Soldier, feel like this is gonna have the messiness Avengers 2 had as they're going in to setup the Black Panther and Spidey reboot movies with this (not to mention Avengers 3.1 and 3.2 and Antman 2 and Guardians 2 and Doctor Strange and...), and it looks like there's even MORE characters in this one
(..and i enjoyed Avengers 2)

just watched ant-man. it was not good.

u goddamn fuckerz

what gtfo. jesus christ. go walk into a fireplace and complain about it.

Sorry, Morbs, this is that other Marvel thread, not the one where we Marvel at the comedic majesty of Hardly Working.

just watched ant-man. it was not good.

if it gives us a michael peña solo joint it's all worth it

antman was fine, but I'm still a cap girl

speaking of... does anyone else find that "sometimes i just want to punch you in your perfect teeth" line they seem so proud of and make sure to stick in every trailer kinda irritating?

yeah, i wanna punch it in its perfect teeth

otm it is dumb.

Seriously, like Downey's teeth are any less perfect, come on.

"I want to muss your perfectly-coiffed hair, you handsome sonofabitch."

the scene is actually from a dream sequence of Captain America, where right after Stark toussles his hair and then starts running his arm down the back of his neck, then he wakes up, disappointed

i already have an opening night ticket for this

x-post: And then Quicksilver comes running by, and shouts 'The key is Captain Marvel! You have to find Captain Marvel' then zips out again.

if it gives us a michael peña solo joint it's all worth it

dear someone,

make this happen.

thank you

Small consolation prize, perhaps, but the new Ant-Man DLC for the Lego Avengers videogame has Luis as a playable character with new Peña dialogue.

review are in

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_america_civil_war/

The shaming of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” will continue apace — or better still, be forgotten entirely — in the wake of “Captain America: Civil War,” a decisively superior hero-vs.-hero extravaganza that also ranks as the most mature and substantive picture to have yet emerged from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Very much an “Avengers” movie in scope and ambition if not title (the conspicuous absence of Thor and Hulk notwithstanding), this chronicle of an epic clash between two equally noble factions, led by Captain America and Iron Man, proves as remarkable for its dramatic coherence and thematic unity as for its dizzyingly inventive action sequences; viewers who have grown weary of seeing cities blow up ad nauseam will scarcely believe their luck at the relative restraint and ingenuity on display.
