I know they want the hype to build like crazy, but 3 more weeks is too cruel Marvel!

I hate all of you who have seen it... T__T

I'm so jealous.
 
Sam and Bucky share the greatest single moment in the movie
I may have to agree with this, haha.

Just got back as well, it's a 4.5/5 easily. Need to see it again to see if it's my favorite Marvel movie, but it's up there.

Spidey was done so well I can't really believe it. I kept thinking to myself, "Did he just say that?? Did he just do that??? Did he just say that WHILE he was doing that???"

Action was so good and clear. Everyone has their moment to shine. Loved Black Widow and Caps fighting styles.
 
Remember when we all thought the airport scene looked lame and stupid?

What fools we were

I remember people saying shit like it looks too fucking cliched or that it having less Superheroes makes it look dumb. Heck I remember people saying it looked like something out of a TV show.

Lmao.
 
The airport stuff in the trailers are awful though. I don't think anything changes that. The scene where they charge at each other is really silly. If they deliberately picked the worse parts of the scene to use in the trailers so as to not ruin the impact of the actual battle, more power to them, but that doesn't change the fact that the footage they presented looks corny!
 
Okay I don't mean to sound bitter, but I'm actually not a fan of this early review, early screening stuff for such a hyped movie.

If no one had seen it yet then I could just live my life normally until a week or so from release when reviews start coming out and my hype builds up. As is, I can't stop my self checking RT, and this thread constantly. I can't keep my hype at maximum for three more weeks, hype just doesn't work like that. Meanwhile I can't help but think that there is just going to be a sort of slow drip of info over the next few weeks, who knows how much I'll know by May 5, hell, the rest of the world can see it a week before even then.

I know it's 100% my fault, and to all of you who got to see it, that's awesome. But when all signs point to this being a dream come true movie, and people are saying it's so amazing. I can't help but refresh this thread constantly. Reviews and screenings a month from release is just too much.


/bitter as fuck.

It makes more sense in the film. Without spoiling anything, Rodgers and co's goal is behind Team Iron Man, so it's a bit more reasonable they would charge straight ahead.

Agreed. Certainly came off as goofy in trailers. But it works phenomenally in the film. Even the running at one another scene out of Anchorman works.
 
(Get more bitter.)

Everyone seems to be interested in Spidey, Black Panther and Zemo but i'm more curious about how Crossbones is handled and if his inclusion is solely because [SPOILER FROM THE COMICS THAT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FILM REDACTED].

EDIT: I should probably clarify that I want to know how the character is in the movie i.e. are they good/bad/underutilized/poorly directed/etc. Also: General Ross and how he is in the film. Sorry for the confusion.

Holy crap really? I remember someone responding on Neogaf on the possibility that the reason why one or both groups are running is because they are running towards something the other has.

Wow, props to that poster.
