Even though I was glad of the decision to leave Thor and the Hulk out of this (which helped add a certain ferocity to the fight scenes, with so many street levelers in the mix), I am hoping Zemo will meet Thor in a future film just so we can have a reunion of Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth on screen. They had great chemistry in 'Rush', so if you're a fan of Brühl or Hemsworth check that out. You don't even have to be into Formula 1 racing to enjoy it.

I finally got to see this movie and it's was excellent and tad bit too long - but nerveless it was explosive, action-packed, and I really like the costumes especially Black Panther and Spiderman was good also. This is really a much better movie than Batman verses Superman and I feel that it's a winner in my book. I rate it 4/5 stars - A very good movie nice acting from the supporting players and I was happy to see Don Cheadle back as War Machine.
Man, if you haven't seen it I would drop everything and see it for yourself!

A friend and I just came back from seeing it.
The premise was sound, the characterization true. The only disappointing part was Zemo without his mask. I would've liked that.
Black Panther was fantastic and Spidey too.
Liked Scott Lang going all Giant-Man.
The best Marvel CU movie I've seen yet.

Question in case I missed it.
So, at the end when Tony asks Steve if he knew that Bucky had killed his parents, Steve first says he didn't know it was him, and then yes - was this referred to anywhere else, or are we supposed to infer that Bucky told Cap at some point between them reuniting and now? I may have missed it, and I did have to take a pee break due to the bucket of soda I drank, so it could have been then. but figured I'd ask.
That was the only thing close to a complaint or nitpick I have about this movie. On further reflection, one thing I would have liked to see a little more of would be real-world reaction to the debate about signing. I think they did a good job showing why it was important to each character, but I would have liked to see it be a bigger issue to the general populace, like on news interviews, etc. |

Zola says "accidents happened" and we see the headline of the car crash, and from there apparently Bucky's involvement is implied. But it went over my head as well. |

Got back from the movie about an hour ago... very good.
Black Panther was perfect... I can't wait to see what the do with his movie. Spidey was perhaps a bit goofy, but fit perfectly, and was far better than his other versions.

If that was it, then they could have done a better job showing how Steve would know that. Okay, there we go. I found my one nitpick. |

There was also the file Fury gave to Cap at the end of Winter Soldier that supposedly detailed Bucky's time as an assassin. |

Finally saw it. Really liked it as anticipated. But didn't like it as much as I expected and hoped. And not as much as others seem too. Not many complaints and no real major ones. Lots to like and enjoy, but I don't think it's "the best comic book movie to date", or the "new gold standard", and I'm not sure where it falls in my personal fave comic book movie or mcu list? It'd be high though I think. However I don't foresee it being as rewatchable as some others such as avengers 1-2. This movie really lives and dies with the airport scene and the emotions and tension between Steve and tony. Everything else was just fine. Only fine because it's familiar and common at this point. Prior to the airport scene I was actually kindve bored. Especially the first 20-30 min. And after that scene, nothing could live up to it. So even though the tony/cap/Bucky fight was awesome, it was just overshadowed. I was just really disappointed with Zemo and how and why the "war" came to be. Just very much "this again"? Imo. simple misplaced personal revenge over death of loved ones? A ridiculously impractical over complicated plan beyond any real single persons abilities and relying heavily on coincidence and chance? Oh well. Very enjoyable and entertaining.

Late to the party, I waited for Netflix to air it to finally see it.
I had the same reaction as for Age of Ultron. Some cool bits, some funny dialog, some great action scenes, but the overall impression that we're not seeing a film but rather an overview of "what's going on this week in the Marvel universe". Enjoyable for fans of all these characters but probably not so much for casual viewers expecting to be told a story. (Oh, the story is there... but it's sort of diluted by an hour of extra material).
The winner of the "thing I didn't expect to like so much" award goes to Giant-Man and what they did with him. Great visuals there.

The winner of the "thing I didn't expect to like so much" award goes to Giant-Man and what they did with him. Great visuals there. In many ways I think they are doing two things with the MCU movies that are not quite what modern movie goers (or even strictly modern comic readers) are used to. 1) I think the whole MCU is kind of like one giant Marvel serial but with 2 1/2 hour episodes rather than 15 minute ones, so that if you watched the entire MCU output it would tall one giant story, the story of Marvel. What sucks is having to pay full admission prce for a movie for part of a serial, but in terms of structure, I think that's where they are headed, a giant Marvel tapestry with each film a piece of it rather than standing on its own as an individual unit. 2) they are using the old school comic story telling technique that was codified by Paul Levitz with a plot, b plot, c plot rotation, where the A plot is the main story of the movie (or the current issue in comic book terms) but the b plot sets up what's next and get sa few pages in the issue (or some screen time in the movie) and the c plot is just hints of what is to come (end of issue cameo or epilogue in comics, post-credit scenes in movies), etc. so the whole thing is structured like a bronze age comic moreso than a modern movie or even a modern decompressed structured for trade 6 part comic story. For veteran comic readrs of that era it kind of feels homey, but not if you have more modern sensibilities and never experienced it before, or if you don't understand how that structure is supposed to work and look at it the wrong way. Just my 2 cents. -M |
