If you've seen any of RDJ's earlier works, like Weird Science, they made him look almost exactly like his younger self in CA.

There's a long line for my 6:30 showing right now. And I intentionally chose a small theater too. Fuck

The predictions may be wrong but that doesn't change whether it is an Avengers movie or not. I maintain that this is Avengers 3. It dropped from Avengers 2, which in turn dropped from Avengers 1. 

 

Maintaining it isn't going to change that Cap 2 is really the one movie you need to see prior to this one to get the storyline. (Seeing Cap 1 wouldn't hurt either) That they added in other characters....ala the frequent "Where were Iron Man and Thor?" complaints in other movies doesn't change that either.

 

I get it....some really need to put some kind of "disappointing" tag on this one and are reaching for reasons.

Agreed.   They pretty much got him spot on from how he really looked in his early 20s.

Sunday night business is solid

It isn't a true Avengers movie because

the main battle in the movie is between Captain America and Iron Man. Everyone else is kinda just there most of the time.

Only 12 cars in the parking lot at my theater. 45% drop today.

Remember, although it seems like everyone's already seen CA3, they haven't. Please don't post anything spoiler-related here. That includes vague scene descriptions and/or character involvement.

Because there was less de aging for Button obviously.

 

It is the same company that did Button & young Douglas & RDJ, they have been perfecting this craft for almost 10 years now.

Eh, I wasn't sharing anything that hadn't already been revealed by the marketing anyway. After all...

 

Spoiler

...the first poster (the one with Cap and Tony facing each other angrily) pretty much says who the main battle in the film is between.

He was such a pretty boy. He looked like some cougar's boy toy lol. 

 

Definitely get better with age.

Fuzzy-Wuzzy was a bear.

Fuzzy-Wuzzy had no hair.

 

Fuzzy-Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy.

 

 

 

Was he?

I know the top 10 alltime (unadjusted) list no longer has the same cachet (Shrek 2? Cmon) but it will still suck to see Star Wars leave. I think ultimately Cap America 3 will push it to #9. 

 

When I first started chatting about the box-office on online forums (1990s) Raiders of the Lost Ark was #10 with about $245 million. Now that's a moderately successful Pixar film. An opening weekend for Episode 7. The market (and dollar) has expanded so much.
