Captain America: Civil War Review Thread

At least I know to adjust might expectations accordingly. I didn't expect much TIH references, besides hoping for some Ross anger about Hulk, but to hear that he is basically just there for a government figure cameo seems disappointing.
It'll be a great experience. I got tickets for my local IMAX for Friday evening too. Watched the Avengers opening night and it was the most fun I've ever had in a thater.
Opening night is mostly fans that are there to enjoy the atmosphere of a big opening night. I actually enjoyed the Avengers even more by how much the crowd was into it. I expect Civil War to be even better.
ACTUAL CIVIL WAR TALK WARNING
Ross talks about
Banner and Thor in a scene cause nobody knows where they are. Literally one line
Other than that, yeah pretty much just government figure role.

This thread is an
You know, this movie was made in 2008.
In 4 years, technology and CG artistry advanced so far that you could reasonably believe that the Hulk in 2012's Avengers actually looked like Mark Ruffalo.
What I'm saying is I want some way, any way, to get Blonsky back in the MCU so we can see an Abomination that actually looks like Tim Roth. Do a Thunderbolts thing! Make him the MCU's Red Hulk so you can get rid of the corny bone protrusions thing! Iunno!
I think the wait for Civil War's making me weird. Certainly not making the review writing process any easier.

Hey, Zeus..how are ya, bud? 😁
I know there's some weird legal stuff with Hulk in regards to Hulk standalone movies, I wonder if that effects which Hulk characters can be used in what movies as well
Made a couple of faux pas and got banned twice. Trying not to misbehave...lol
Ok. Better than nothing.
No, just standalone Hulk movies.

We got Thunderbolt Ross again, Talbot's been in Agents of SHIELD (I know, I know >_>), and other reports for an upcoming film with Jolly Green himself in a big role. If Marvel could work out Spidey's return, I hope they could talk with whoever's involved to get a solo feature for Hulk.
People like Hulk now, more than ever, and we definitely have writers within Marvel's creative groups who can write good stuff. I don't think it's a lack of confidence in writing a good solo Hulk film, especially with the arguable Get-Out-of-Jail card that's having other MCU characters to bounce off. Heck, Hank Pym right there could be somebody who could talk to Banner about having great power within reach and fearing its misuse.

I agree with Gordo for once.
What's the next thing in thread cycles Gordon? We already seen pics of a female in gratuity, i'm sure before that was iron man 3 talk. Is it on to shitting on DC time?

Anyone who has been to a 1st showing in the morning opening - is it usually packed?
Work 2nd shift so plan is to wake up early, have a small coffee ( dont want to take a piss break), and go watch it.
I think the earliest showing is around 8:50am, I just hope its not packed with annoying little kids and people who are obnoxious.
Being its a work/school day Im hoping its a good audience
So anyone have any experiences seeing a big movie 1st thing morning on its opening day?

Spiderman kills the Marvel Universe
The only legal issues around the Hulk movies are re: the distribution rights. Marvel still owns the characters and can use them freely

I'm surprised Marvel hasn't introduced the Leader in other movies since they were setting him up to be the next villain in Incredible Hulk.

The Leader has been playing Agent from Rockstar in his PSNeo for the last few years, that's why we don't see him

They nipped that one in the bud quick enough with one of the tie-in comics before Avengers 1 hit the big screen.... Is it just me or have tie-in comic books stopped being a thing around the Marvel films lately?
I wonder if there's an aversion to having The Leader be a villain, because I don't know much about him outside of a single trade paperback Avengers book, but he seems to want a world where gamma-affected beings are an elite class, and that doesn't seem far removed to me from a world with gamma-affected everything, and then makes me remember Hulk Dogs from Ang Lee's Hulk, and I liked that film for its time and its ambition but clearly almost everybody else didn't and doesn't and maybe they don't want to bring that imagery back. >_>

What happened to him in the comic?

It's the "Fury's Big Week" comic, Romanov finds Sterns somewhere, Sterns appeals to her with talk about joining him in a world where Gamma beings are rulers or something, Romanov replies with a bullet to his knee cap, Sterns is detained, we never see him again.

I just found out that Jane is gone from Thor: Ragnarok.
My interest just shot up in the movie 1000%

It was much worse at my screening I went to... there one dude who just laughed at every little thing they did out loud while everyone else was dead quiet. I'm fairly certain he was high.
There were funny moments where everyone laughed, but dude was just cracking up at everything out loud.

Best character in the MCU was GSP.
He took over a SHEILD boat and went toe to toe with Cap without any super powers.

So badass, the one stunt he didn't do in his filming was the high jump in the backflip part.
I hope they get Batroc the Leaper in a future film, maybe as one of the Thunderbolts? >_>
in my screening there was a group of people that audibly gasped and said "oh no..." at every single dramatic moment
He didn't land a single hit...
Hope we see him in Black Panther.

Somehow I never noticed that Kat Dennings had huge jugs. I liked Darcy perfectly fine even before that, so to see so many people who only liked the character for that reason is funny.
I liked both Thor and Thor 2
