Captain America: Civil War (May 6, 2016)

That's funny a funny pic because BvS is practically gone at all the theatres where I'm at.

Same with mine. It just baffles me that BvS couldn't fill one room on opening day, whereas CW filled 3!

Does it really....I mean with all the plots from the critics to sabotage the film

Well, I doubt the folks from Larisa, a relatively small city in Greece cared enough about RT. It's just weird, is all. Both Deadpool and CW managed to beat BvS here. Hell, CW completely demolished it. I mean, it feels like opposite day!

PS; You got your Loyalty Check from Disney yet? Mine's late...

Checks "in the mail" as they say....

For me, BvS is that one girl you wish you never slept with. I'm never going back.

Gah, STOP! Stop it, please...... It... It hurts....

We have some funny people in the forum when they chose to lighter side of life...

You know, in retrospect, this is hilarious:

"The average movie audience has seen — well, I can’t even count the amount of superhero movies. Fantastic Four, X-Men, Superman, Spider-Man. The Marvel universe has gone nuts; we’re going to have a fricking Captain America movie if we’re not careful. Thor, too! We’re on our second Hulk movie. And Iron Man — $300 million domestic box office on a second tier superhero!"

Yeah, it's such a shame Cap got a movie. Truly a shame...

Hey, Snyder:

 

[GasparZizou]

I'm gonna compared Snyder to Tarantino a bit, in the fact that he often puts his foot in his mouth.

I'm certain he has great talent as he has shown, even some genius, but the dude is just not well spoken he sounds even autistic sometimes, it reminds me of that time Tarantino "shut up" a feminist but the only thing he did was yell louder.

I don't blame him for having those thoughts of those Marvel characters, EVERYBODY thought of them that way back then, Cap was still "nobody's favorite superhero" according to Honest Trailers or something like that by the time Avengers was released.

Eh, I guess. I like neither of them as directors (I respect Tarantino, but his movies ain't my cup of tea), but Snyder is one of the few I absolutely despise. I would never use the word "genius" to describe him, as, IMO, that's a disservice to filmmakers who are actually great. Tarantino is actually alented, he's just not for me. Snyder though? Hell no. Snyder has a knack for visuals and for the most part, that's it.

Thing is, he continues being a huge ****. He stills keeps calling Ant-Man flavor of the month, he still keeps taking jabs at Marvel, all the while never really living up to his words. Hell, the fact that Marvel turned "nobody's favourite super-hero" Captain America into a household name, whereas Snyder struggled with Superman, speaks for itself.

A "rivalry" exists between the two studios and most take playful jabs, which is just a publicity stunt. But Snyder (and Momoa to an extent) take it one step further. Whereas the Marvel and Fox folks talk about their movie, Snyder is more concerned with trashing the rival and making his own product seem superior by comparison.

Here's an example of how Fiege commented on Deadpool's success: https://www.comicbookmovie.com/deadpool/kevin-feige-weighs-in-on-deadpool-chances-of-an-r-rated-marvel-studios-a141380

He praised Miller and Fox, he said how much he liked the film, and in general was a good sport. He didn't say "eh, it was too vulgar for me" or "too childish" or "I didn't really make it a priority to see it", he genuinely responded like an actual person. Now compare that to Snyder's constant trashing, and it's easy to see why I loathe him. I want a good DCEU, but I also want him to get the boot.

And we can end the comparison right there. No need to go any further.

We have officially arrived at a below 200 million opening being considered a failure.

He lived up to his word though, but for whatever reason already discussed the public rejected his sacred word.

And he wasn't wrong about Ant-man, I loved the movie, but it was definitely the flavor of the month like if it was a Phase 2 movie, same formula, throwaway villain, etc etc. It works for Ant-man though.

All of that is true, Yoda.

Oh I can go further... Tarantino is almost as overrated as Snyder is underrated.

Flavor of the month or not, he's a ****, plain and simple. It's not like "Cyborg" is a bigger name or the "Suicide Squad" is a house-hold IP. Both companies make movies based on C-listers, just accept it and move on. By his logic, Marvel has Spider-Man, the most well known and profitable super-hero on the planet. Does that automatically make the "winners" now?

I will agree that Quentin is a tad overrated, but Snyder underrated? Come on...

Tarantino is almost as overrated as Snyder is underrated.

Meaning, not at all.[emoji1]

 

[GasparZizou]

You meanies! ;_;

 

[jye4ever]

BvS isn't as bad as it's made out to be.

CW is as good as it's made out to be.

WB/DC better up their game in the action department though.

 

[YoNoSe]

All of that is true, Yoda.

Of course it is.

Just came back from my second viewing. I thought it would have been hilarious if Bucky said to Cap, "Your mother's name was Martha," when he was held captive in that vice.
