Posting my thoughts in blurbs as they come.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think it’s a little overhyped IMO. Enjoyed the opening escape and space battle. Wish we had more backstory on Snoke though and how he lured Kylo to the dark side. Though I do understand making Kylo the main bad going forward. I just don’t want to see him be redeemed. Also would have liked to know more about the Knights of Ren. Space Leia float WTF? One thing I absolutely loved was Haldo’s suicide light speed run. It was visually stunning and extremely satisfying. Only thing that would have it more satisfying would have been if it was Leia (since we aren’t going to see any more Carrie Fisher RIP), it would have sent her out as a BAMF. Didn’t need casino stuff with Finn and Rose. Thought they were gonna kill Finn for a good second there. Luke’s stand off with Kylo was interesting but was hoping for a bit more action to match the emotion there. Guess we are going to get the backstory to that gold chain/dice in the Solo movie next year.

As far as rankings R1 still my favorite and I need time to let this settle in and see where if I like it more than TFA.

My better half was out and about and put down a deposit at GameStop. They said some locations were already selling out of their allotment.

BBQ chicken, green beans, red beans and bread.

It's easy to follow...just not satisfying IMO. To each their own.

Agreed. How does her returning to be Arya Stark fit with becoming an FM. You think they'll just let her go now?

Very solid movie. Glad this movie didn't end with them kissing and making up. Villain was lacking but I liked how just a nonenhanced person was able to help disassemble the Avengers. Really looking forward to the Black Panther movie and Spider-Man: Homecoming. As someone said earlier it's a better Avangers movie than Age of Ultron, but this is the 2nd best Captain America movie.

Pretty sure I saw reports that he's thunderbolt Ross still.

The document Ross gives Cap is called the "Sokovia Accords: Framework for the registration and deployment of enhanced individuals" in response to what happened in AoU.

I'm in the "Glenn Lives" camp.

Also, you'd think Michonne would kill that one guy being munched on at the gate? Nah, instead they just sit there and watch. At least put the guy out of his misery.

:hijack:

Am I the only one who remembers the IM3 thread, where a bunch of peeps discussed when Tony had "fixed" the problem with extremis, used it to fix pepper, take out the shrapnel in his chest but then people took that to mean he gained the powers of the other extremis soldiers?

Yeah that didn't happen.

Back on point. I liked it but I don't understand the comparisons to Empire Strikes Back. That movie ended with our heroes defeated and the fate of characters left up in the air. So hearing those comparisons and especially Jos saying something "terrible is coming that you'll love". What was that supposed to be? Was it supposed to be Ultron? If so, he didn't quite deliver IMO. Bc before seeing the movie and knowing Civil War is next I was hoping for the rift between Cap and Tony to begin, but instead they end on amicable terms, which is fine. I was just expecting and hoping this would be a tad darker movie than it was.

I'll go see it again but right now The Winter Soldier is still my favorite phase 2 film...until Ant-Man

:lol:

It's good to be back!
