Captain America: Civil War (May 6, 2016)

[hunnipot85]

I enjoyed the movie but I think I would put TWS and Iron Man above it. Maybe even Guardians of the Galaxy too since it had a whole new cast, new story and was a little more comedic and fun.

I loved the new Spider-man and am looking forward to his solo film. I hope Zendaya is MJ.

No heavy hitters like The Boss

If BvS made almost 900 mill there is no reason to think this won't hit a B.

For me, the part of this movie that pissed me off the most was the end. I don't need Cap or Iron Man to die, but I want to feel like there's some gravity to the situation I just watched unfold, and before you say "but Rhodey was paralyzed." No one gives a **** about Rhodey; Marvel doesn't even give a **** about Rhodey, that's why they tried to convince us that Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle are the same dude. Also, I know that the same could be said for Maggie Gyllenhaal and Katie Holmes; don't crucify me, it was a joke.

Suffice it to say, when I say "the ending," I mean "the actual, very, very ending, before the credits." They had the potential to turn this into the "Empire" of the Marvel movies, but they opted to play it safe in the name of keeping up the status quo. That letter was the most anti-climactic thing ever, and it totally undid Zemo's plan, which was probably one of the most interesting things to come out of the whole movie. You get that amazing conversation between he and Black Panther, and then you get him smugly rubbing Everett Ross' nose in the fact that he succeeded in sowing the seeds of dissent within the ranks of The Avengers, and you're like "this is awesome," only for Steve to send Stark a letter that's basically just the first few verses of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," that amounts to "/JK We're still bros, right? See you in the sequel!"

The ending was a cop out- a letter to make Tony think twice about what just happened-"call me if you need me". Hilarious.

Well it is better then "Martha"

 

[Darkseed]

I enjoyed the ending it reflected Cap perfectly.....no less risky then killing the main character then planting the seeds of his return (setting up sequels) before credits roll.

Why are you making this about BvS? It isn't.

Way better than freakin Martha and doomday throw in. Not to sound like a marvel fanboy which trust me I'm not but iron man vs cap was much more intense than batman v superman which is sad.

 

[jye4ever]

I'm ok with the letter, it's just Cap being Cap.

Stark previously had offered an olive branch and Cap simply reciprocated.

Oddly enough I'd agree it's sad that for most Cap v IM was better then Bats v Superman. In terms of heavy hitters Bats and Supes roll Cap and IM easily.

 

[batfan08]

There was a part of me that was severely tempted to yell out "his mom's name was Martha" as Cap was about to bring his shield down on Tony. Also, off-topic, but I really hate Marvel. Every time I go to write about Cap's shield, I have this instinctive urge to write it in all caps, like the acronym. Congratulations, house of ideas, you've successfully hijacked the ****ing dictionary.

Don't really see why some Freaks have a need to slam one movie over the other.

Other than to troll, what's the point? Can't you just enjoy both?

I agree, and I want to clarify that I did enjoy CW quite a bit. It's a very well made, fun, action packed movie, but, in all honesty, I feel like the odds were stacked against it from the start, having to follow up The Winter Soldier. The best way I can think to describe Civil War is an endless barrage of spectacular moments that add up to a whole that, while very good, doesn't quite reach the heights of its predecessor.

Not even close to TWS..I knew they couldn't trump it because too many cooks are stuffing this dish- and Spiders thrown in for no real reason other than trumpeting "MORE $$$$ for US!"

I agree, I personally feel that both films were decent/good.. nothing amazing or groundbreaking and certainly not the best effort by each studio.
