EmmaMcG said: There was pages and pages of discussion for Batman Vs Superman but so far there's been little said about this year's other superhero slugfest. What did you guys think of the movie? I really liked it. More than I thought I would. I've liked most of the MCU movies up to this point but with the Winter Soldier and now Civil War, I feel that Marvel have moved on from making good superhero movies to very good movies. Robert Downey Jr gives his best performance as Tony Stark/Iron Man yet, the movie manages to feature most of the Avengers and brings new characters Spider-Man and Black Panther into it and it still doesn't feel overstuffed, and Captain America.... Ahh.. Captain America..... The Bahtmaster has a cool game.Stage left or Stage right. Where do you fit in?  1 U.S. Dollar = 34 Bahts

I had a moment, watching the trailers and seeing the 'sides' charging at each other over the tarmac, thinking: this looks cheesy. It was perhaps a TOO calculated moment. This could be the hot mess I expected the Avengers to be, with too many heroes; too many personalities with all these different requirements to suspend disbelief over varying spectrum. I'm happy to be wrong for a second time. There are many layers and underlying conflicts of interest that make the plot integral. The tarmac fight? True to the MCU, it is entertaining, fun, and somehow, lighthearted (I also love the surprise). Big marks for not destroying a city in this movie. The only negative I have for this film is the sped up fight scenes that occur in the first half. Things moving to fast too register might be the new CGI. Or perhaps I'm just getting old. | |

I really enjoyed this movie. As a fan of both DC and Marvel, it was great to see these characters brought together on the big screen. Granted, they only paid homage to comic book covers, and did not stay very true to comic book storylines. | |

Granted, they only paid homage to comic book covers, and did not stay very true to comic book storylines. I can understand what you mean but as someone who doesn't read comic books, the fact that they strayed from the source material doesn't really bother me. And in fairness, they never pretended that they were adapting the comic for the screen. I remember reading an article in Empire magazine about a year ago where one of the writers said it was only borrowing certain elements from the Civil War comic but their primary interest was keeping it loyal to the other MCU movies. But I'm glad you really enjoyed the movie for what it was. I don't understand this idea that some people will champion everything DC does and shit all over Marvel or vice versa. There's no need to choose sides. Both companies produce good movies and bad movies. I think Dawn of Justice suffered a bit because of this line of thinking. It was not perfect but it's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. I really liked it. I absolutely hated the new X-Men movie though. But that's a story for another day. | |
