Joel Schumacher says thank you for letting him off the hook. And so does whoever directed Superman 4.

You are welcome guys- BF had some bad shots but it fit the overall tone of the movie. B&R was camp and was beyond salvage but a guilty pleasure.
Oh I FORGOT about Superman Quest for Peace- uhhh let me think...

Also loved Stan in Amazing Spider-Man and Winter Soldier if we're talking cameos.

It took me awhile to remember the WS cameo. That was probably the most clever use of a Stan cameo. His cameo in Avengers 1 probably had the best timing IMO because it was like icing on the cake.
 
Deadpool and Thor 1, my favorite Stan Lee cameos.

:goodpost:


Thor 1 is the best Lee cameo still, IMO.

Deadpool is the new second, tied with The Avengers for me.

"Superheroes in New York? Gimme a break!"

So perfectly throwaway yet self-referential.

(It was actually subtle, which most superhero flicks are not.)

From what little we've seen, it should be pretty significantly different. There is no army of CG enemies trying to destroy the earth. This is a team being split by ideological differences, who will fight among themselves. There was a small bit of that in Age of Ultron, but it is the whole story here. In the end,
Cap will surrender, Agent 13 possessed by the Red Skull will shoot and kill him, and Bucky will take over.

Captain America: Civil War is, more or less, finished. There will be some tweaks and some FX work completed, but as of right now Marvel has a movie that they like. And that they like a lot. Not only do they like it, they've been showing it to people, and those people like it too.


I've had the luck to speak to a couple of people who have seen recent screenings of Civil War and what they said about it has gotten me so excited for the film. I'm even more excited because these reactions are from different people but what they liked is very similar. When you're hearing early reports from screenings you have to take taste into account - I will never forget that a publicist told me that Zodiac was a stinker - but when you have multiple sources sharing the same opinion you can feel more secure in what they're saying.


What are they saying? That the movie is fully a sequel to The Winter Soldier. I've been telling you this for a while, but now that the film is finished it seems to be confirmed - this isn't Avengers 2.5, but rather Captain America 3, and it truly focuses on Cap and Bucky. I have been told that Spider-Man is great, and that the film doesn't waste time on retelling his origin. We all get it, and the movie just moves along. I've been told that Black Panther is phenomenal, and that Chadwick Boseman is a major addition to the MCU. This movie picks up the pieces of Avengers: Age of Ultron in surprising and human ways and makes us feel the true cost of Sokovia. And I've been told that the last half hour of the film is brutal, both physically and emotionally. One person told me that the last act plays out as an emotional horror movie because the film gives both Tony and Steve solid reasoning, and because it truly makes you feel the depths of this schism.


God, I hope this is all correct. I like that Marvel has been essentially laying low on Civil War lately, allowing Batman v Superman to do its business, but also that they're confident enough in the film to begin screening it. I expect we will see one last trailer for Civil War in the next week or so - is it too heavy to put in front of Zootopia? - and then the wait will be truly difficult.

In the meantime Marvel has released some behind the scenes images from the film.
