Just had the opportunity to see Spider-Man 2 or Captain America 2 for the 2nd time. Chose Winter Soldier. Do not regret decision.

I finally got around to seeing this.
May be minor spoilers: At the end of the movie, they showed the blond agent that had pretended to be his neighbor at the firing range. Is she significant (I don't read the comics so don't know if she plays a major part later)?. Same question about the main Hydra agent who appears to die when the helicarrier crashes into the building while he is fighting Falcon but is then shown in the hospital severely burned. |

I forgot how good this movie is. I put it on in the background to get some work done and all I ended up doing was watching the movie. It is bad ****ing ass.
|
I watched it yesterday actually.
It was really good but I'm not sure why it gets so much love on CP. CP talks about it as if it's an All-Timer. |
That's because it is. If it's not the best all-around superhero movie of all time, it's at least in the top three.
|
1. Dark Knight
2. Batman Begins 3. Spider-Man 2 4. Avengers 5. Spider-Man 6. Avengers: Age of Ultron 7. Dark Knight Rises 8. Captain America: Winter Soldier 9. Iron Man 10. Blade 2 Guardians of the Galaxy also gets a shit ton of love from this site. It was good but I didn't think it was worth near the praise it got from CP. |
IMO, you have the Spider-Man flicks rated way too highly. And I don't know that I would even put Avengers 2 on the list at all.

im glad this is America, and we all have our own voices and ideas, but I thought The Dark Knight Rises was a hot mess. I mean, I walked out of the theatre thinking: nothing will touch The Dark Knight. I think i'm still mad at that movie...... |

All-timer for a comic book film, sure. It's like a throwback to 70's political thrillers. With Captain America.
Hell, seriously. Think about just that for a second. They've made Captain America into a viable film ip. Captain America. One of the silliest characters ever, despite what I think is a neat WW2 backstory. And made him central in a political thriller, of all things. I'm not sure I could think of a less likely direction for them to have gone, and they did a pretty great job of it, in my humble opinion. |

I'm on record as absolutely hating the Avengers and have even bothered to see Age of Ulton yet. Thor 2 was garbage, too. Because of the Avengers and Thor 2, I took a pass on Captain America 2 but bought on DVD and didn't even spring for Blu Ray because I expected to be disappointed. Fortunately, it was excellent, which gave me enough faith to actually go to the theater to see Ant Man, which is my favorite Marvel movie to date, followed by GoG. |
I think Dane and I are the only two people on earth who didn't love The Avengers. Though I didn't really hate it, either. It was just kind of there.
Which is mostly how I felt about age of ultron as well. |

Didnt Marvel get Blade back? I really enjoyed the first 2 Blades.

They are the reason Marvel got his rights back. Sony had no idea what to do with the character |

I think they were well made, but the stories sucked. Like I mentioned, Sony had no idea where to go with the character or storylines. It sounds like Marvel isn't doing any origin with him, just dropping him into the universe which is the right thing to do at this point |
IMO, the thing that hits home is that this movie IS good storytelling, and nobody expected anything like that, especially considering the genre and how Avengers went down. Expectations were that it would be a superhero eye porn type of movie, but instead it ended up being a layered, nuanced story told that just worked and hit home with viewers.
Still can't believe it was the guys that did Park and Rec that directed this, lol. Fantastic job. |
I actually was talking about the Raimi/Maguire Spidey flicks. The new ones are The Amazing Spiderman. They're good but not as good as 1 and 2 from the 2000s.

That said, I just couldn't stomach watching yet another version of the same version of Spiderman that I've seen since I was a kid in the early 70's. I mean, come on. Quote:
A talking tree? A talking squirrel? A green female alien (Star Trek, anyone?). A human "plucked" from the Earth at a young age that's later thrust into a galactic battle? It sounds more like a super cheesy, cult 80's film than a gigantic blockbuster. I give all credit to James Gunn (a guy from St. Louis, BTW, that is SUPER cool). As for Ant Man, I remember him as a kid and always thought it was kind of cool but also ridiculous. That script was in development for seven years with Edgar Wright and Marvel finally said "Enough. You're out". Then, Peyton Reed (Who?) was hired, then Paul ****ing Rudd and Adam McKay REWROTE the ****er. How this movie even was made is insane. Evangeline Lily? The girl with the perpetual question mark on her face during LOST? Paul Rudd, the Apatow guy? Adam McKay of Anchorman fame? CGI Michael Douglas? It sounded like a disaster, a huge write-off. But, it worked. IMO, it's the best stand-alone Marvel movie, ever. |
Toby McGuire Peter Parker was more true to the character.
Garfield was fine, but they tried to downplay the geekiness of Parker and made him more into a hipster skater type. |
