CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Warner Bros' failure with Batman v Superman is all the more embarrassing now that Marvel Studios has put out a movie about superheroes fighting each other over accountability that does the job far, far better. This movie is every bit as good as Winter Soldier, perhaps even better. In fact, this could be the strongest movie in the MCU. The only complaint I have with this movie is that Spider-Man is entirely superfluous in this movie and could have been painlessly removed from the script. But he's enjoyable even if unnecessary, and feels less awkward than Wonder Woman in BvS. Kurzon fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Does Tony show any remorse or guilt about the fact he has literally employed child soldiers in his Civil War?

The thinking is that if you open it legitimately in those piracy-heavy countries first, you can get their money and still get about the same amount of money from the US. This is not a new idea. quote:At the time, American law offered no copyright protection to foreigners. After their previous opera, H.M.S. Pinafore, achieved success in London in 1878, approximately 150 American companies quickly mounted unauthorised productions, often taking considerable liberties with the text and paying no royalties to the creators.[3][4][5] Gilbert and Sullivan hoped to forestall further "copyright piracy" by mounting the first production of their next opera in America, before others could copy it, and by delaying publication of the score and libretto.[6]

cross-postHakkesshu posted:Civil War was so loving good, holy poo poo. It was a really well-executed blend of the emotion and action of Winter Soldier with the superhero spectacle of Avengers. Everyone got a chance to shine, and there was so much energy on display from the whole cast. The issues I have with it are mostly minor, the core of the film is just so solid and everything works with a level of focus that is seriously impressive. It never gets bogged down or boring, it's feels extremely cohesive despite the huge cast, and despite how many goddamn tangents and subplots they are building, it all comes together in an extremely satisfying way. The movie intertwines the Avengers and Cap stories in a very compelling fashion, making it both about Cap and Bucky's relationship as well as Tony's responsibility to the team and the weight of his ego. I'm still pretty high after seeing it, but I'll at least say it carries the momentum from Winter Soldier extremely well and blows Age of Ultron out of the water.

Also Daniel Bruhl is real drat good so I figure if he's the weak point in an otherwise dope cast, it's probably due to miscasting and/or not being given much to work with, as opposed to not being able to hang

computer parts posted:Oh my, an MCU villain is the weakest part of the film. Who could have guessed that? The movie doesn't really have a villain per se, at least not in the same sense as most other superhero films. He's the motivating factor, but he ends up being more of a symbol of the themes of the film rather than a proper antagonist.

It's not really a big problem, but it's worth noting.

Yeah looking at the Wikipedia summary he's a dude who's just really mad that his country got blown up. Though I will say ending the film with the Avengers actually broken up is a novel step. It doesn't hurt that none of the major players (as in, those established pre-Civil War) are having their own movies before Infinity War though. Except Thor, who's doing his own thing and isn't in this movie.

Winter Soldier and both Avengers movies owned for totally different reasons, so I am pretty psyched, assuming I'm not being lied to by a noble goon.

The CGI model that plays Black Panther did some really cool stunt work, and the CGI model that plays Spider-Man got some fantastic moments as well.

Everything I'm hearing about this movie indicates that it's so safe and consequence-free it's essentially a parody of itself.

Clearly people liking this thing I haven't seen are stupider than I am. Also that one bit of action in the trailer looked unfinished so I'm sure the entire run-time of the movie is like that. Now let me declare victory on the internet because some off-the-cuff post someone made right after seeing the movie doesn't read like a C- paper somebody wrote for a freshman philosophy class.

Actually that bit in the airport fight where they're about to do the X-Men 93 opening credits has some iffy compositing issues in the film as well, and it's the only place I noticed them. It looks like they rushed it for trailers and then forgot and/or ran out of time and budget to go back and do a final pass.
