Weekend #s April 4-6 (Cap2: 96.2, Noah 17, Divergent 13)

Found it to be one of the better Marvel Studios joints. Though I find the Pixar (in their prime) comparisons as nothing short of fanboy hyperboling. No studio can compare to Pixar's batting average. With the exception of Iron Man, all of them are One & Done viewings. I agree it got a bit long in the tooth towards the third act and dare I say the arc of

Bucky/Winter Soldier

felt tacked on. The film was working fine before he showed up.

Iron Man 2 was one and done. But the first Cap and the two Thor films are more background movies

[filmnerdjamie]

is Loki going to be in Avengers 2?

 

Supposedly, no. But I doubt that.

[Jandrew]

Trying to write my review on my blog. Is it a spoiler to say

HYDRA

or were people already aware they'd be playing a role in this?

[Sam]

Damn, was hoping for a surprise reaction from Tele. That's too hard to achieve these days.I'm confused about the most recent reports though. If Friday is sub-40M, how can it miss 100M?

Rank the Marvel movies

1. TA2. CA23. IM4.Thor 25. IM36. Thor7. CA8. IM21 and 2 might flip I need to re watch the Avengers

[Claire of Themyscira]

I am not going to rank all the MCU movies again or probably ever again. However, I will say that my top 3 MCU are probably CA:TWS, CA:TFA, and Avengers. 

 

I just love Cap and Evans as Cap so much, so that is why I enjoy them as much as I do. 

Cutie.

Kinda how I feel about Thor and Hemsworth. I think that's why the Thor movies are so enjoyable for me. Well that and Loki/Hiddleston.

[Dementeleus]

Thinking about it, I just wasn't emotionally invested at all. Part of it, I think, is that they decided to make Cap

essentially invulnerable

. Why should I care about danger when

he can fall hundreds of feet onto pavement (with shield), or hundreds of feet (into water), or dodge 30mm fighter plane cannons that shoot thousands of rounds a minute?

And

Bucky

is a drab sap. For all the great casting choices Marvel has made, that one was a real dud.

A year ago today, Roger Ebert passed away. I've missed him greatly in the past year, especially considering how great last fall was for movies. Would've loved to see his take on them. RIP

Oh Tele.

Can we stop fucking ranking?Wow holy fuck.

[Fancyarcher]

Cap's doing well. Warner Brothers better be scared.

[Blankments]

Thor 2 is definitely underrated, imo. It's nothing groundbreaking, but there's a lot of fun to be had in it. I love the final fight, closest anything has come to duplicating the pure fun of a lot of the Avengers scenes for me.

 

The final fight is really creative and tbh, the only interest I have in rewatching Thor 2 comes from that

[Sam]

And

Bucky

is a drab sap. For all the great casting choices Marvel has made, that one was a real dud.

Really? I thought that role would be easy to play and catch people attention. Badass guy, way too emo, tortured soul, etc.... Edited April 5, 2014 by Sam

Yeah, I get those complaints. However, that is how they are in the comics.

They should stick to thier guns or release the week before CA3 comes out.

Thought the same thing. Exact same problem as

Man of Steel. Felt zero sense of suspension not because we knew nothing bad would happen to Cap/Supes because they're the heroes. But because we got no sense they were ever physically in danger by how they would fall into something and get right back up with zero bruises or even clothes torn (!?)

[Michael Seng Wah]

okay.

 

1.Captain America: The Winter Soldier

2.The Avengers

3.Iron Man 

4.Captain America: The First Avenger

5.Thor

6.The Incredible Hulk

7.Iron Man 2

8.Iron Man 3

9.Thor: The Dark World 

 

Basically agree except for me Iron Man 2 and 3 to change their position on the list =)
