Captain America: Civil War

You think you'll get off that easy?

Emphatic statement: Best Spider-man yet

Just wanted to say this one more time

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I wouldn't say best Spider-Man yet because we haven't actually seen him in a full movie. In terms of what he contributed to the film though, I found him to be great.

Also, Marissa Tomei is so pretty.

NAILED IT

I get they're wanna do something new, but I still find this really weird.

[Ruien]

Yes, people ARE saying that he is better than the other two and I agree.

Mind you, I haven't seen the movie yet, only parts. Not only is the suit awesome, he really IS Peter Parker, a dorky teenager making quips in the middle of fights and being starstruck seeing all the superheroes and whatnot. Just being a teenager.

The other two, well, their jokes felt really forced, they spent way too much time being overdramatic and didn't feel like Parker at all.

So this. He seemed like a real dorky teenager with super powers.

[Lock Jaw]

Any real dorky teenager wouldn't talk about Empire Strikes Back like he did! :shifty:

By the way, about that, was it just my imagination or did they "sample" a bit of Star Wars music when Spidey was roping up Giant Man's legs?

Honestly, it's much stranger for a kid that young to have a 90 year old aunt.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah.... Unless Peter's Dad and Ben Parker were like 20 years apart in age....

True, but that's how she was always pictured. And I remember there was some explanation about the age difference between Ben and Richard Parkers but I don't remember what it was.

Nah a full full only reflects the writing.

The 35 min or so of screen time he has had is more than enough to know what he is bringing to the role.

[Kalyx triaD]

Spidey was perfect, imo. My fave version is the Josh Keaton Spectacular Spidey which in turn echoed Ultimate Spidey (comic) so seeing a kid be Spider-Man was a long time coming for me.

[Rammsteinmad]

I would't mind seeing a grown-up Peter some day, maybe in ten years time or whatever if they need to reboot again, or maybe as Tom Holland just gets older himself. Whilst this Peter (which was spot-on btw), is most definitely "a kid", McGuire and Garfield were still portraying a young Peter themselves.

In Civil War (the comics) Peter is definitely a grown-up. Not sure if there is an official indication of Peters age in the comics floating around, but he's gotta be at least late 20's early 30's right? It'd be kinda interesting to see that portrayed on the big screen some day.

I couldn't care less. As a matter of fact, it's about time we had a hot Aunt May :mad:

[JimmyMess]

saw it. loved it. want more. now. more more now!

[GD]

Yeah! I want a dark Aunt May movie. Set after the death of Uncle Ben.

[Kalyx triaD]

Lol wut

[Kalyx triaD]

I want Stark and May to start a thing.

[VSG]

Saw this earlier today. I liked it, and again this sets up a lot of future movies.

[Wishbone]

he's gotta be at least late 20's early 30's right?

He's graduated college and has his own company so at this point I've always assumed him to be in his late twenties or early thirties at the least.

[Fignuts]

I love how previous films were major motivators for tony and caps stance on the zakovia act. Tony's guilt over the destruction caused by his creations, and caps mistrust of the government after hydra hijacked everything are much better reasons than "I can see into the future because I'm so smart!" and "No, but FREEDOM, tho."

[Joe Kerr]

Torn on it... I knew going in that there was no way they were going to follow the massive storyline. However I wish that the speedball fight that started it all was in the movie. I liked that it was action from beginning to end and the black panther was well done. Some key comic book parts of the story were missing. (Thor killing giant man) but with the allowed time, I would have named it something else. Good movie can't wait for part two.

[XL]

Really hate the "they deviated from the comic book" criticism. It's a different story, in a different "world".

[Simple Fan]

I never have a problem with films deviating from the comic books but it is cool when they throw in scenes directly from comic books. Dawn of Justice was full of them.

Right, which is why the TV/Film entries are called the Marvel Cinematic Universe, just as different as 616 and 1610.

I'm sorry, but I think your expectations of staying true to the source is way too high. To the the point where the film would suffer if they actually did.

The new warriors incident worked for the comics, in that world of thousands of superhumans and decades of history. In the MCU, with it's tightly woven overarching plot, it makes much more sense to directly involve the avengers' actions as the reason for the reg act. It's the same reason they made stark create ultron instead of introducing hank pym.

They're condensing decades of marvel history within this much smaller universe. To make it work smoothly, sacrifices will need to be made in some of the adaptations.

And no, they shouldn't have called it something else, because no matter what else happened in civil war, the main driving plot was the war of ideologies between cap and tony, and as I stated above, I think the movie actually did it better than the comic.

Marked out super hard for the "No. You move." speech getting in.

[McLegend]

I thoug that movie was actually better then the comic.

Only things I wanted in the movie that were in the book was...

1)Captain America fighting dirty (maybe we got that in the movie? Maybe)
2) Captain America's line "Winning everything, but the arguement."

Other then that everything in the movie was better then the book.

Thor never killed Giantman in the Cival War arc ;)

[Simple Fan]

Yeah, Ragnarok killed Goliath. Really glad that part wasn't in the movie as it would have been to much. Really no need for the New Warriors or other character from the comics. Could have had War Machine die to mimick that scene but I think it was alright. Just wish Crossbones wouldn't have died so early.

[Disturbed316]

Finally got round to seeing this, really enjoyed it. I'm liking how Spider-man was portrayed as the wise cracking kid that he is, his interactions with Stark were great and makes me more inclined to go see Homecoming when it comes out.

Didn't know a huge amount about Black Panther before so this was a decent introduction to him and his background. Again, how he came across here makes me want to see his solo movie when that's released.

LOVED the airport battle, I haven't seen Ant-Man yet so was really shocked when he went giant (not sure if he does it in his film), so that was a cool moment for me.

[Rammsteinmad]

He doesn't.

And as his transformation wasn't shown in trailers/TV spots (take note, DC), it was an awesome surprise!

[Tom Guycott]

Just got around to this. Liked it very much.

Only thing weird to me from a story standpoint is everyone's fear of Banner or Maximoff, even being equated to nukes by Ross, but are A-OK with Vision being an unfinished Ultron clone who has the entirety of knowledge of JARVIS, can walk through walls, and harboring an infinity gem.

Dug this version of Spidey. Nice intro of Panther. Nice surprise in Martin Freeman being another guy who is getting cast in everything, even though his character here seemed like a bit of a twat... but his American accent is better than Benidict's.

Don't see where the meme about Cap and Hydra business started, though. Did I miss something?

[Disturbed316]

The one with Cap saying Hail Hydra? If so that's from the most recent comic

[Kalyx triaD]

Banner racked up more collateral damage than anyone and Wanda just made a huge mistake. Also within the team everyone well remembers her creepy fear inducing trick (which would have came in handy at the airport but I assume she swore off doing it to people again).

By comparison Vision has(had) a perfect record.

[Tom Guycott]

Understandable, but he is potentially a bigger threat than those two (movieverse wise... not getting into Wanda's House of M level reality warpage... just dealing with what's present in the film lore). Still, Vision is like having a factory fresh, loaded rocket launcher on your wall. You're worried about the guns that have been fired than the potential destruction of that one because it has not been fired yet? At some point, he may himself figure that out and pull a Dr. Manhattan (self exile, I mean).

Speaking of Witch and Vision, I like how he is trying to wrap his head around his own increasing sentience. Having actual feelings (as opposed to merely colloquial "I feel..." statements as JARVIS) is new to him, and weird, and confusing. Almost like puberty, but multiplied by figuring out 'humanity', such as it is. Seems kinda unaware he's flirting with her.
