Yeah I'm strong as fuck
We need the gif of Wanda friendzoning Vision.
I wonder if he survived the incursion through the next world.
Anyone have links?
They make crazy action shit look fluid and "normal." I don't know how to explain it really, but it seems like a crazy cool thing can happen at any time in any shot like it's not a big deal.
Like, you compare it to another movie (most action movies, really) and it cuts to a specific shot at a specific angle with actors/stunt performers in specific positions because this is the camera angle needed and set-up needed for this specific stunt to be accomplished, and you can tell and it feels kind of artificial.
An extreme example is the school fight in the first Spider-man movie. It's like "This is the shot where this specific thing happens. And then this is the shot where this specific thing happens." It doesn't really feel like a fluid continuum so much as a string of individual set-ups for individual gags in sequence.
But the Russo's seem to be able to just present shit like it's not big deal. A quick, small example is during the highway fight in Winter Soldier, a car is exploding on the overpass in Widow's face, and she flips off the overpass, shoots a grapple hook, swings down as the car is flipping off exploding behind her, gets down to the road below into a full sprint without stopping. That's a pretty big, complicated stunt, but it all just happens in an instant like it's no problem. And Civil War takes that kind of stuff and amps it up even more. The stairwell fight with Bucky and Cap going through police is like an extended scene made up only of that kind of shit.
Here's a big statement, and I'm not suggesting they're at this level, but it really reminds me of how James Cameron can make the biggest most absurd technical shit seem effortless to pull off. Between Winter Soldier and Civil War, Russo's are essentially doing that for comic book movies.
And who is the first one he goes when raided the Raft? Fucking Sam. Steve recognices his BFF's
Totally unexplained, and as far as I know in the comics there was nothing about a ring he had. But my interpretation based on details from all the movies so far was that BP is the dude on the planet who knows the most about vibranium, and the ring appeared to emit vibrations or actual sound waves which immobolized Bucky, and Bucky's arm was speculated to be made of Vibranium.. I'm not sure if it was depicting that BP had the ability to prevent him from using the arm, or if it was meant to mean it would have been worse for Bucky if not for his arm absorbing the vibration.

Has this actually gone anywhere or is just a supporting character. Will never understand comic writers need to break up couples. Shows a lack of their writing ability if they can't write around a married character.

Did BPs ring freak out about Cap's shield?

Not that I noticed..
I really did like that the film tried to make both sides have legitimate points for their stance. I can see how some would come out not knowing which side to agree with but honestly I think by the end of the film Tony proved Steve right.
An innocent man was never going to get a fair trial and that much is proven when Team Cap is arrested and contained underneath an ocean prison. Tony even realizes when he enters the prison that he might be wrong. He sneaks behind Ross's back and then attempts to murder someone once again going against his views. I understand why Tony has an emotional breakdown and reacts without thinking but it still shows that he isn't willing to follow his own rules.
Anyway I saw this again on Saturday with my coworkers and most came out Team Cap but all thought Tony did have some fair points.
You know, I never liked Don Cheadle and thought he was an awful replacement for Terrance Howard(I know TH is ridiculous) but I thought he was pretty good in this film but I was legit shocked at how much older he looked. I kind of wished they casted someone younger so we could have him around for a lot longer but maybe they're already planning a new War Machine what with him being paralyzed? I know he can walk with Tony's tech but not very well.

No clue. I found a clip where those three (and Evans) were on Jimmy Kimmel, and were wearing the same suits, so I imagine there. I found that picture while browsing Imgur.
you mean interaction as in singular?
yes those are always great
they were also awfully lacking
look in the mirror Slayven
I was thinking that too.
eh, I feel like the movie presented it for a bit there as a sort of mcguffin that went nowhere
it's a lil thing

Best line in the movie.
"Don't bother, Ms. Romanoff. I'll kill him myself."
No chill, holy crap.

He's 51. Surrounding him by a bunch of mostly 30-somethings doesn't help.
RDJ, Don Cheadle, and Marisa Tomei are all 51 years old.
... I'm still crushing on the new Aunt May. Wowzers.

It's weird that Don looks the oldest of the 3. He looked 60+ in CW.

I think it's because he recently had a movie Miles Ahead where he had to slim down.
On my second viewing I started to wonder if Spidey had to sign the accords since he helped out stark? If so, hopefully it bites him in the ass in homecoming and realizes he was on the wrong side. He's the only one with a secret identity in that fight and it could loosely parallel the civil war comic.
fake edit: as I wrote this out I realized the accords were only for the avengers and it doesn't affect street level masks....yet.

I have a feeling this movie and Homecoming are going to cause a strong resurgence in George Costanza gifs

I liked the reading of that scene as, there was nothing actually "special" there. The person who posted their read said that it looked like T'Challa was tensing his hand as if to release his vibranium claws but Whoops, he wasn't wearing the suit and just acted out of reflex.
Also maybe it was just a little push-pull, tug-of-war sorta arm-lock shenanigans between the two.
well since you're all doing "this X part is the best part of the movie" and I havent;
this is the best part of the movie.
and I mean the face and HUAHUHAHU right after "Holy Shit!" (both are perfect)
what's funny is that it just brought the rest of the movie down for me
maybe BvS just fucking killed my soul and made me crave it but I needed more FUN
Spider-Man: Homecoming |OT| It's okay to have a crush on Aunt May
Might as well get that out there now.

Y'all so shocked about Don Cheadle's appearance.
While I'm shocked Chadwick Boseman is 39.
This guy looks like he's in his mid 20. Black don't crack.
Edit: Some were even complaining he looked too young for T'Challa.

Spider-Man: Homecoming |OT| You'd give this Aunt May a sponge bath.
His personality caught me off guard also. He doesn't come across as a 39 year old dude in his talk show interviews.

As has been noted in some recent posts, Bucky was really rocking the house. Stairwell scene, motorcycle grab, managing to hold on to the bike, reset balance with his arm and kick BP right the hell off was actually my favorite moment in the film.
But then even when later triggered into Winter Soldier mode at the mid-point (on the way to the helicopter) his directed goal was still to focus on escape, not stay around and fight everyone to an individual conclusion. Need to go back to Cap 2:The Winter Soldier proper for him at full-on fight.

Really? that's annoying to hear since I thought he looked perfect. I was fanning myself every time we saw his face and his voice was amazing.
I do really want him to have the cape in his movie.
I want the Black Panther who doesn't diss Hawkeye, but simply doesn't acknowledge his existence.
Ant-Man, Falcon and Ozymandius walk into a bar...
EDIT: Oh wait that's the guy who plays Bucky, no Ozy. lol.

BOSEMAN IS 39!? WHAT THEEE FUCK!?
I legit thought dude was like 27.
I must've missed what people are talking about T'Challa's ring and Bucky's arm. What happened?
I'll always associate Mackie with HGH breast milk and Rudd with LARPing.

same here. Its his eyes while he's laughing that get me, he seriously looks and sounds like a kid who's just loving the shit out of some new toy.
It was when Panther was fighting him out of the suit, his ring like reverberated or something against Bucky's arm. There was a quick closeup of the ring, then of Panther looking perplexed and that was that.
what I like best is that it's very clearly written for Paul Rudd
it's his moment through and through, in the sense that only he could really pull it off
these movies rise above because of that, to me, mainly
rather than have the actors shape themselves into a personality they're smart about merging the two and playing to their strenghts
