    "Everyone expected the 2015 sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron to top its predecessor’s global take, but it fell shy and finished its run with $1.4 billion (sparking absurd and utterly false reports in some online fan media to claim Disney considered the film a failure as a result of that outcome)."

    Some people should take note of that sentence :)

    :D Wow, @jasonbond lools like you and I are going to compete to see who has seen it the most because I plan on seeing this many MANY times during its theatrical run. There's quite a bit to take in because after my second viewing there were so many things I noticed that I didn't catch the first time because I was too busy being wowed by all the surface stuff.

    One hour away from Civil War. Oh boy, I'm (we) are already nervous again.
    After all such a cinematic comic book nerdgasm doesn't happen very often.
    I'm glad CW makes me feel so good after the other one was a nonstarter.

    So, I went to the theater yesterday to watch Captain America : Civil War. And I loved it. laughed (the fight at the airport had the theater in stitches), I cried (the funeral and the ending were pretty depressing), and I had a great time. Highly recommanded and worth every penny I spent (11 €, if you must know). I can't say more without giving away plot points, though, so for now, I won't. One word of advice, though : don't leave until the very end.

    @Shark_0f_Largo

    My list is chronological but I made a mistake at the beginning.

    1. Iron Man 1
    2. Incredible Hulk
    the rest is correct and the same as doubleoego's list except I did include the tv-show Agents Of Shield.

    Timeline wise you would have to watch Captain America as the first movie and then Agent Carter as both stories happen in the distant past and should be viewed first therefore (if you want to do a proper timeline order)

    You can safely skip Hulk, GOTG and the Shield show.

    Well, Hulk has one pivotal scene tying into the Avengers/Iron Man story.
    Agents Of Shield has some very interesting episodes around the movies, especially around Winter Soldier!

    If you are a fan of the first Captain America, Agent Carter is a must see.

    GOTG can be skipped though.

    In my opinion they are all rather bad and in no way essential viewing before seeing CW.
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?

    The one Marvel film that I really can't bring myself to watch again (despite owning the blu ray since it came out) is Captain America the First Avenger. I'm not sure why. It could be because it was a period piece, or because Red Skull didn't impress.

    I may do it before seeing Civil War.

    EDIT: Ok, perhaps Hulk (with Eric Bana) is another one I don't like to watch often as well. Awful imho.

    Hulk is bad, yes and can be skipped.

    I personally adore The First Avenger. Sure, Skull was a bit underused and the plot danced around too much with montages of Cap and his team blowing things up, but there's stuff in there that's made me smile or get emotional more than most other Marvel films.

    The first 20 minutes of that film is honestly some of the best cinematic characterization I have ever seen, truly. We get to know who Steve is and why he's so special immediately, with both visual and verbal cues that are beautifully and cleverly delivered. We get to see his resilience and determined spirit as he tries to enlist again and again. In the alley fight behind the movie theater, he gets punched repeatedly, but keeps getting up, telling the guy, "I could do this all day," a saying that remains with him forever. To defend himself, he even grabs the lid of a trashcan, giving that iconic Cap pose before he grows into the man destiny needs him to be.

    They set him up so beautifully as a kid that just wants to help. He's not looking for fame or fortune or the glory of war; he just "hates bullies." There is so much heart in every one of those early scenes with the pre-serum Steve that just makes me smile. When Tommy Lee's character throws a dummy grenade and Steve is the one to jump on it, willing to sacrifice himself for everyone else. When he uses ingenuity to get the flag at training and rides back to base with Peggy. When he states that he has no business working a factory job giving anything less than the men like him who are heading to war laying down their lives. The scene in the barracks with Tucci's doctor character when Steve promises he'll always remain the good kid from Brooklyn he was before the serum.

    Throw in all the great stuff with Peggy, the rain-checked dance, the brilliant sequence where Steve travels the world in character as Cap punching Hitler and dancing with the women, and I think you have a rousing and emotional film in equal measures. It's one of my favorites for Steve alone, and he's easily my favorite Avenger.

    Some say Team Cap and Team Iron Man were both right in CW. I always sided with Cap from the beginning.

    Absolutely with you. It's a poor, poor film. In the cold light of day I actually think 50% of the Marvel output is distinctly average. The high points have been successfully exploited to perpetuate this narrative that they're knocking it out of the park. I would say 10% of their output has knocked it out of the park.

    The period piece nature of Captain America the First Avenger is one of it's strengths; it's also one of the reasons I'm looking forward to Wonder Woman.

    Really? Never doubted it?

    I think one of the many strong things about CW is that it's so difficult to take sides.

    No, not once. Although I could understand the other side.
