Not a huge fan... B-/C+ range. I thought it was mostly boring. I did like the Hydra montage reveal, that was the only inspired part. 

 

I do like Chris Evans. I don't really have a huge issue with any of the casting except Bucky -- to me, Sebastian Stan is a giant charisma suck. Maybe that's one reason why I didn't really care for it. 

 

 

If Tumblr gets the wind of this...

We probably need to wait at least 2 or 3 hours until we get Saturday numbers.

i generally agree that if the emotion of a moment seems to be (widely) miscommunicated then that's on the director more than the audience.

Yeah. It's not great because its gory or has excessive swearing (though I must say I do love my f-bomb) its great because it takes the time to build the characters and their relationships into something special

^^^^ YES

I'm honestly just surprised it's taken this long for someone to do this.

I'm surprised it took this long to make a great Wolverine film.

In terms of that specific scene in question, I thought it was funny and clearly intended as such -- despite the pathos. 

 

There was tons of this sort of stuff in MANCHESTER BY THE SEA and it didn't get nearly the sort of absurd over-analysis that this scene is getting. If you thought it was funny, great! If you didn't think it was funny, great!

Perfect comparison. There was some dark moments in Manchester By The Sea that had me bust out laughing.

Was about to compare it to MbtS  Which isn't a bad thing, because MbtS is fantastic.

Kenneth Lonergan is such a nuanced and subtle writer.

 

Oh, look at how life can be funny & random even whe you re grieving your own flesh and blood.

 

Marvelous writing.

The scene in question was both a gut punch and a bit funny to me.  He was completely devastated and had a very realistic mental breakdown.  I wouldn't have changed it all.

 

Spoiler tags just in case

I mean yeah. Life isn't all one emotion at one time. We still laugh and crack jokes when we are feeling down.

[The Futurist]

My blockbusters are better than yours.
