The final cut of Civil War (with credits included) is 2:27 long. It's the longest Marvel movie to date.

I'm having a really hard time sympathizing with Captain America based off the trailers. Like as near as I can tell his argument amounts to "Well, this could go badly, so better not make any laws ever!" Hopefully the actual film plays it up better.

I remember when everyone was worried that it would be impossible to not make Cap unambiguously right.

Cap objectively looks like an rear end in a top hat here though. "But what about my friend's right to murder people for 70 years with no consequence!" and BIG GOVERNMENT

Yeah, they said there is overlapping timelines between Ragnarok, Dr. Strange, and Civil War.

Civil War apparently spans a couple of months and Ragnarok is sometime in the middle of it.

They just released a supercut that shows the "Road to Civil War" and gives a quick recap of Cap and Tony's evolution. Includes the Netflix shows and Agents of Shield's civil war tie-ins if you don't watch those shows.

Avengers 2 isn't as bad as some people say on this forums (it's the internet message board effect, where everything is THE BEST or THE WORST ever), but the all CGI fight choreography, like Hulk vs Hulk Buster or Tony vs Ultron or Vision vs Ultron, is so much better than the live action choreography. The live actors are all directed in really weird ways. It is especially noticeable because of how good the choreography is in Ant-Man and Winter Solider. Or even just the CGI scene 20 minutes earlier in Ultron.

AoU is an extremely okay movie in the most literal sense. It has a couple very good points, a couple very bad points, and many many minutes of okay.

People are crazy to say it is one of the worst movies ever or unwatchable, but it is definitely near the bottom of the pile of the MCU and the lower half of modern comic movies.

His point is that the bad guys killed billions of people in Star Wars and nobody got upset, so it is hypocritical to get mad that he decided the good guys should kill a few thousand people in his movie.

It is a bad point, but that is his point.

‘Batman V. Superman’ Promotion Urges Filmgoers To "Just Get This Over With"

LOS ANGELES—Promising that it would be best to just buy a ticket and take care of the unpleasantness right away, a new Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice promotional campaign launched this week reportedly urged filmgoers to simply get this whole thing over with. “Listen, you all knew this day was coming, so just go sit your rear end in the theater, stare up at the IMAX screen for a couple hours, and be done with this poo poo once and for all,” said Warner Brothers marketing strategist Elizabeth Harris, who encouraged fans to make plans with friends right now so they could all bite the loving bullet over opening weekend. “You know you can’t put this off forever, so just suck it up and plow through this thing as quickly as possible. Listen, you’re going to have to pay the piper now or at some point down the road on a commercial flight or during a broadcast on TNT, so you might as well just pony up the extra 10 bucks for 3D and never think about it again.” At press time, Warner Brothers had reportedly kicked off a last-minute Batman V. Superman media blitz in major markets advising audiences to just bend over and take it like a champ.

Yeah, BvS is not terrible. It is aggressively okay. I think BvS is getting the Age of Ultron treatment, where a movie that is just okay is derided as THE WORST, because expectations were very high, so a mediocre movie feels even worse than it objectively might be.

There is really no excuse for some of the very bad CGI and editing in this movie though. Baffling how that happened. Eisenberg is beyond awful too, but that is more of an opinion than the first part. There were lots of mistakes and dropped balls with BvS, but it is still watchable.

I would still probably save my money and time until the DVD release, but if you've got a lot of both, then go for it in theaters.

It made what, $700 million? Seems like it.

It was only in the high 200 mil range in the US though. Which is not objectively bad, but definitely under-performing for one of the biggest superheros of all time.

Also, kind of funny that "truth, justice, and the American way" is significantly less popular in the US than outside of it.

Also, is Gotham part of Metropolis now? Or they are right next to eachother? Lois Lane could see the bat signal from the top of the Daily Planet building. So then Superman just ignores Gotham?

They are supposed to be like New Jersey and NYC; where one is just across the river. Although it makes Man of Steel's geography really weird retroactively.

Just got back from BvS, thought it was quite good. Definitely not perfect, but I liked it much more than I was expecting to (for the record, I'm lukewarm towards Man of Steel). I suspect SMG is right in thinking that the extended cut will end up being an improvement.

Question - during Batman's dream sequence, who is the dude that shows up to yell warnings at him? I got the impression he was a time-traveller (or at least it was a message from the future) who arrived too early, but I had a hard time making out what he was saying. Is it someone that comic book fans would recognize?

Apparently Civil War is supposed to have something "Universe Changing" along the same lines as Winter Soldier (SHIELD declared a terrorist organization, Fury "dead", Zola "alive", etc)

Question: Why do all the big universe changing events happen in Cap's films? Cap 1 introduced the completed Avengers, the Tesseract, and Infinity stones and Cap 2 was mentioned above.

Seems greedy; why can't poor Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Hemsworth, or Paul Rudd get a game changer? Paul Rudd needs this man, he's got a step-dad to compete with.

Critics loved all the Nolan Batman movies and specifically praised the "dark" tone and Heath Ledger's Joker as upgrades over the lighter campier Batfilms of yore.

It's already been said that the fight scene from the trailers takes place at the Berlin Airport and is in the first act.

Apparently Mariah Dillard is going to be in Civil War. She is also a character in the upcoming Luke Cage series. This will be the first time any actors / characters from the Netflix shows cross into any of the movies.

Also, continuing the tradition of Russo Brothers having Community cameos in their movies, the Dean from Community is also an unnamed character in Civil War. Possibly as a Pan-Sexual version of Uatu the Watcher?

Edit: Also, just announced that the first Dr. Strange trailer is dropping next week during Jimmy Kimmel on the same night as the Civil War red carpet premiere.

To be fair, it is kind of a rational move on Ike's part. He's been with the company forever and has made it a lot of money, so they can't outright get rid of him. But Feige forced him out of the movies and if he lets the TV stuff mix in with the movies, he loses control of those characters and the company has less of a reason to keep him around if someone else can make his characters work.

The first critic comments about Civil War are starting to come out. They are just able to give Twitter comments, but full reviews should be out soon.

The biggest points:

- Overall impression is very good.
- Chadwick Boseman, Spiderman, and William Hurt all have relatively small, but breakout roles.
- Spiderman is only in the movie for about 10-15 minutes, but he is getting a lot of praise.
- Lots of people commenting that Marvel has finally made a movie where the 3rd act is by far the strongest act. The climax scene is getting rave reviews and apparently has not been shown in any preview material yet.
- There are multiple ending stingers.
- People are noting that Chris Evans gives a really emotional performance and that his dialogue scenes are much better than his action scenes.
- Paul Rudd has great dialogue and physical performances.
- Some people are upset and some are happy, but they are saying that the movie is 50% Cap, 30% Tony, and 20% all other characters. So, it is definitely a Cap and Tony focused movie and the other characters all have around 10-15 minutes of screentime in a 2:35 movie. Don't expect tons of Scarlet Witch, Spiderman, or Vision.

Not a superhero movie, a 1970s political thriller!

Actually one thing that made me laugh about Winter Soldier is that it establishes that Black Widow was both a KGB agent and born in 1984. So I would like to see a future MCU movie about the KGB Toddler Division.

To be fair, they also establish that she was part of the Red Room program that trained female KGB agents from birth. So, technically she was a KGB agent when she was born.
