Marvel Cinematic Universe (2008 - present)

I can't take this. A Batman solo film announcement, a Dr. Strange trailer, and an official Spidey announcement in under 48 hours. My head is spinning with joy.

ErikDavis ‎@ErikDavis Without hesitation, I say CIVIL WAR is Marvel's best movie yet. And that airport sequence is tremendous. Blown away.

Josh Horowitz Verified account ‏@joshuahorowitz 15m15 minutes ago Holy crap, CIVIL WAR is really great. Top tier Marvel for sure. Exceeded my expectations. Downey's best performance since original Iron Man

Zain Shahzad ‏@zainshahzad3
Just saw Marvel's Civil War. Best one yet! #cinemacon

ErikDavis ‏@ErikDavis
The command the Russos have over tone in CIVIL WAR is masterful. One minute you're laughing so hard you miss lines; the next you're in tears

ErikDavis ‏@ErikDavis
CIVIL WAR will go down as the MCU's EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Other great films & scenes will likely follow, but they'll be compared to CW imo

‘Captain America: Civil War’ Makes Superhero Movies Great Again

Move aside, ‘Batman v Superman’: this is how it’s done. The Russo Brothers’s ‘Captain America: Civil War’ is a triumph in every way.

5/5 from Empire
"Captain America: Civil War is the best Marvel Studios movie yet."

Total Film (Games Radar) 5/5

Alex Billington ‎@firstshowing Whoa. Captain America: Civil War is indeed outstanding. Totally blown away by all the action, better than both Avengers. Remarkable script.

Peter Sciretta ✔ ‎@slashfilm Captain America: Civil War has the best action of any of the Marvel movies released thus far. I also love that the stories are increasing...

Peter Sciretta ✔ ‎@slashfilm

...in their complexity. Civil War feels like a sequel to 4 other marvel movies, not just Winter Solider. #CinemaCon
3:39 PM - 13 Apr 2016

Germain Lussier ✔ ‎@GermainLussier Yeah, Captain America Civil War works better on a second viewing. Some complicated story beats explain themselves and the rest just rocks.

Silas Lesnick ‏@silaslesnick
Even with enormous expectations, CIVIL WAR blew me away. What a great, great film!

Ed Brubaker ‏@brubaker
If you're a Winter Soldier fan, you're going to love Captain America: Civil War. Also it's going to be the biggest movie of the year.

Ed Brubaker ‏@brubaker
I'm not going to spoil anything, but I will say it's very much still a Cap and Winter Soldier movie. Slash-fiction fans will rejoice.

Creasy47

I'm surprised those guys at SlashFilm have managed to enjoy a movie that doesn't have "Star Wars" in the title. I'm seeing a lot of 5/5 and A ratings for this, which is good!

doubleoego

Yep! The Russo brothers KTS.

@DaltonCraig, you especially will love this quote from the empire review:

"Directors Joe and Anthony Russo don’t just want to rocket your heart into your mouth with their action sequences, which have the tight choreography of a Greengrass Bourne, and the brutal flair of a Gareth Evans rumble; they want to keep your brain firmly engaged, too."

DaltonCraig007

@doubleoego, my reaction when reading that quote:

Creasy47

That's the quote that really injected some interest into this movie for me. I still doubt I'll end up watching it in theaters, but I am interested now. 'The Winter Soldier' more than delivered, so if a majority of people are saying that this is not only better, but is likened to Greengrass/Bourne and Evans, I'm in.

@DarthDimi, @chrisisall and a few others here will lose their sh*t: Michael KEATON could return to the superhero genre, as he is eyed for a villain role in the upcoming Spiderman film.

@DaltonCraig007, I'm getting flashbacks to Pacific Heights (The tenant from hell). Keaton in unhinged 'villain' mode is a beautiful thing to behold.

doubleoego

Damn, the critics are really praising civil war while simultaneously crapping all over BvS. Ouch.

Murdock

I'd love to see Super Cafe spoof that. :))

doubleoego

Turns out John Wick fight choreographers worked on Civil War.




"The Russos and their various fight choreographers and visual effects leads design fight sequences with a fluidity that would please Bruce Lee. One sequence featuring Captain America, Bucky, and a host of government agents, plays like a scale version of “The Raid” with impressive use of vertical space and consistent character beats which define the action and each hero's relationship to it."

So far 28 reviews (all positive!)

But of course I love good comic book movies from Marvel as well.

Here is my proud collection of steelbooks of the latest three Avengers movies :)

Nice! I just picked up the Zavvi collection (Original Steelbook version of The Incredible Hulk is en route) because I prefer having the titles on the spines. I've opted for the US version of Age of Ultron for that very reason. (Also still en route!)

Thunderfinger

What Spiderman villain could Keaton play? I am curious now.

Creasy47

@Thunderfinger, people are saying he might play Vulture.

Thunderfinger

Good one.

doubleoego

Norman Osbore, the Vulture, Mysterio...to be honest, I'm tired of the Osbornes/goblins. I actually wanted Kraven as the villain.

That was going to be the villain in the proposed fourth film from Rami. I believe John Malkovich was mentioned for the role.

From Birdman to a bird-themed man? Casting gag if ever I heard one.

@michaelclarke

I envy you. What a great collection of Marvel steelbooks.
Furthermore I see you have SHIELDS season 2 already?
Sadly, it hasn't been released in the German-language region yet.
I did buy the US version of Agent Carter. That one doesn't even get a release here!!

Agent Carter is fantastic. I love those 8 episodes. Hoping the new season will not be the last although it does look like it's going to be cancelled which is a crying shame.

I can totally see that.

Michael Keaton coud be a decent Morbius or Silvermane, perhaps.

Oh black panther is badass without the suit!

@doubleoego that guy is a beast! And he's almost 40 years old! Too late for 'John Wick 2' now, but if they do more sequels of that.. Chadwick Boseman vs Keanu Reeves please!!!

Deadpool 2 has been announced! :D

Has anyone said this film is a PoS? I'm just curious because everything seems to be only +ve which is great, but surely there are a few dissenters out there, for varieties sake.
