Best Avengers movie so far. Much better flow than the Whedon movies (even with Spider-Man forced in and out).

Strong performances except for Wanda (and ScarJo can't make it through these things without a wooden line or two).

The early fight scenes were too shaky. The hero on hero battle royale was done fairly well though. Tough to have Wanda and Vision in there and not make the fight all about their powers.

Plot was a bit convoluted with all of the "Team Winter Soldier" stuff just being a ruse to get the three of them in one place. Much easier ways to accomplish that.

Not sure why they wasted the Zemo name on that villain. The look of the original Zemo was so awesome and classic. Now he's just your average villain.

Panther is a nice addition.

Hopefully the Infinity War movies will have these characters as a team instead of the infighting that we've had in every Avengers movie.

They should really give The Vision his own movie. He's by far the most interesting character on the team and his powers are visually amazing.

Really not a fan of Spider-Man being such a sidekick to Iron Man. Hopefully that dynamic disappears with the Spider-Man movies. God Aunt May is young.

The mid and end-credits scenes were okay. The Stan Lee cameo was nothing.

It worked really well for such a long movie. The Russos are definitely the best thing that Marvel has going for them.

Be honest, you put a lot of effort into coming up with all that nitpicking

You can just admit it blew away BvS. No one will judge you for admitting it. This is your safe space.

Marisa Tomei is 51 in real life. If Peter Parker is 15-18 in CW she would be about 33-36 when he was born.

That's what, maybe ten years younger than she normally is in the comics?

I don't get the reviews saying nothing moved the story forward. A lot of shite went down in that movie IMO. It did more than just set up the next movies, although it did do that.


This movie actually had consequences for the MCU going forward. There are some minor complaints I had, namely the villain. But that's the only complaint and flaw I could find.


SPOILERS:


I mean Cap breaks Sam, Clint, Scott and Wanda out of the raft, setting them up as Secret Avengers and then you had Rhodey being paralyzed (needing Tony's technology pants in order to walk) and Cap leaving behind his shield. Bucky going under in Wakanda. There was a lot that happened in the movie. A lot of fractured relationships and some of them felt broken, namely Tony and Steve. The last fight was very emotionally filled and kind of dark.

This is more of an X-Men fanboy thing than a BvS thing.

The Internet calls it The Complex.

I'll bet nickel this blows Mutant Hunger Games out of the water.

Not really.


He needed to get them all in one place......after he got the incriminating evidence.

He needed to find and get to Bucky to make any of it happen.
