I thought the movie had too many action sequences that were boring,,,I yawned a few times. Spiderman was decent but the rest of the cast sucked, including Black Panther.

This is an honest response to CW. Since Disney took over the MCU the quality on the movies have dropped.

Really?? Cause I thought they were pretty solid - winter soldier was excellent

Didn't say Winter Solider was bad. That movie is easily top 3 MCU and possibly The Avengers. CW wasn't impressive as it had nothing to do with the comic story line which was very disappointing. It was just a bunch of slap boxing and some no name villain who really shouldn't have even been in the movie.

Agreed, Winter Soldier was the best of the three, but CW was pretty damned good tho, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

After thinking about it I looked up the villain and saw it was Baron Zemo. They really shitted on his comic background. Crossbones for sure had no business in the movie as he doesn't do anything. I guess nobody is addressing the elephant in the room on how this Civil War story line is just an alternate version of the X-Men's Mutant Registration Act.

Crossbones was wasted in the movie and I hate when they do that - make a big deal about the character returning and they are briefly in it in the beginning and then pulled out.

See, I think that them not following the comic book storyline very closely was a good thing. Civil War in the comics was a terrible and widely hated storyline.

I was about to say... you thought Zemo was a no-name villain? I liked their take on him quite a bit since it was a real contrast on how he attacks the Avengers vs Ultron's brute force method.

If they're going to take a sharp turn from source material why even bother? That's disrespectful to both audiences as it's shitting on fanboys and it's deceiving the typical movie goer who doesn't read comics. All the movie was about the Avengers fighting amongst themselves which they have done in the comics over and over. CW brought in a lot more people from within the Marvel Universe.

CW in the comics was a decent storyline and don't know why people hated it. Even then when I read it I thought of X-Men but to me if felt like it was rehashed to touch base on The Patriot Act and all the other shit going on at the time. The aftermath was hokey but it is what it is.

Why is WB and DC is giving Zack his third chance in making a DC movie,I will never know!

cr76 · 05-11-2016, 11:16 PM

WB has alaways had tremendous faith in Zack Snyder

Watchmen
Sucker Punch
Legends of the Guardian

Now the DC Movie-Verse.

I liked tom holland as spiderman - did not think he was the entitled douchebag that Andrew Garfield portrayed him as in the previous incarnation.

Love Marissa Tomei.
