Quote:I saw it on Friday and I thought it was decent. I should also add that I've personally never been much of a Captain America fan.


All of the Captain America movies (this was the 3rd) were very good, although I personally think this one was the worst of the bunch but it was still a good movie. Enough fans put the preceding Cap movie (Winter Soldier) in the real of Nolan's DKR...that's a bit much in my estimation but it's closer than one would think.


The main issue I have with this particular movie is knowing where this storyline came from. I don't particularly think it works as well as it could when you omit the actual catalyst (the Superhuman Registration Act and it's affect on the entire Marvel Universe). It loses some of its gravitas when you are forced to omit a large portion of the superhumans who are/could be affected, especially when you consider that most of the heroes in the MU are based in New York (or outer space). So my quibbles are with the changes made to the storyline to put it on the big screen mostly but that's typical when you talk to any comic book fan. With that said, they did a very good job at conveying the overall divide from the comics onto the screen. One of the main criticisms from critics and fans alike in terms of Civil War was that Iron Man was treated almost (but not quite) like a villain. I felt the exact same way watching this movie in short order.


However, they did a really good job with the Black Panther and Spider-Man, although the latter's total neglect of a very substantial portion of who he is and why he does what he does really stuck in my craw.

Havn't seen the first two Cap movies so can't really comment on them at all.

I just thought it got the balance between everything right,had just enough humour to be lighthearted but not too much so it wasn't outright goofy. Even the superheroes with a small amount of screen time were pretty memorable.


I get that but I'm not sure how they could have done it in a way that would be the story justice. Generally don't like Ironman as a superhero but I thought it was RDJs best performance as him.


Yeah they did kind of just shoehorn him in but I guess they had to with the new Spidey movie on the way.
