Quote: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.

 

Good points all around here.

 

I watched Captain America on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I've personally always found Cap to be a very dull character historically. As for this movie and the story, they really couldn't have without establishing the major players that hadn't been accounted for within the continuity and I get that. It bothered me slightly but not enough to push me over the edge like X3 did (vomit). Spider-Man was actually a major player in Civil War so including him was the right thing to do. As I recall, the Black Panther/Wakanda tried to remain neutral which isn't surprising considering he was married to Storm (of the X-Men) and they've always traditionally opposed any form of registration.

 

Quote:I think that would make it an 'Avengers' movie though, rather than a Captain America movie... if that makes sense?

 

It already pretty much was an Avengers movie...but it needed to be.

Now I know you're insane...haha!

 

Quote:Loved it. Happy to finally see Black Panther on the big screen. Chadwick Boseman did a great job portraying Black Panther, looking forward to his solo movie in 2018,. Best movie version of Spider-Man in my opinion as well. Felt just like the comic book Spidey I love. Had a nerdgasm when Ant-Man [spoiler] became Giant-Man. That was awesome! [/spoiler]

 

Highly recommend at least watching Winter Soldier. Its up there as one of the best comic book films of all time. 

 

I agree with you on all counts. The first thing I thought when I walked out of the theater was that was the first time we've really seen Spider-Man done right.
