Seen the trailer six times already. I'm on a level 10 jakked:
Bump as it's now out (in some places anyway, including the UK). Discuss and stuff!

Got my tickets for Friday morning!!!!!
I saw it! It was...OK! I wish they'd tried to cram in a bit less. It was a good 2 and a half hours and still felt rushed.
Also we had to sit right at the front of the cinema so it was already a strain to see everything... couple that with a whole lot of Jason Bourne shakey-cam made the action kinda uncomfortable to watch
Just saw it, enjoyed it more than Winter Soldier, went back to watch the trailer and I'm damn glad I didn't see that before hand. The cam wasn't that shakey, I only counted about 2-3 scenes most of the time you could at least see what was going on.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Going Sunday morning! Happy Mother's Day to me!
It was great
Saw it today and it was great. The big fight between all the Avengers was one of the best superhero fight scenes I've seen. That alone was worth the price of admission.
I loved the introduction of Spider-man. It was perfect, and Tom Holland was adorable. The Marvel Studios Spider-Man movie is now at the top of my anticipated list. Black Panther was introduced well too.
Really the only disappointing thing was Captain America didn't get a tremendous amount of development. This was as much Iron Man 4 as it was Captain America 3. It felt more like Tony's story and we are only seeing it through Cap's perspective. I guess this was a Captain America movie since Bucky played a central role to the plot and Cap led one side of the Civil War, but that was really the only reason his name was on it.
I loved the twist at the end that led you to believe it would (SPOILER)take the typical route of the superheroes making nice to fight the big bad but then it switched things up on you and (SPOILER)led to the rift between Tony and Cap growing even bigger. I know there are critiques of Zemo as the villain but what he tried to do made sense in the end and his motivations for it were believable. Not every villain has to get some big super weapon and threaten the world to be effective.

Some random thoughts here:
(SPOILER)
- I thought it was very good. Not sure about this whole best Marvel film business some have suggested though. I'm not even sure it's the best Captain America film.
- I'm Team Cap. Obviously. Tony Stark is a prat.
- Pretty good set-pieces all round, especially the big airport brawl
- Joss Whedon is probably annoyed that the Russos didn't have to worry about cramming in guff about those Infinity Stones like he had to.
- Good on the Russos for getting another Community cast member in a Marvel film briefly. How about Alison Brie for Infinity War?
- Tony Stark just said what we were all thinking about Marisa Tomei being far too attractive to be Aunt May
- I liked the appearances from Spiderman (the Empire Strikes Back line is great) and Black Panther. Maybe this Spiderman film won't be pointless after all?
- Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth and Gwyneth Paltrow should have all been billed as Sirs Not Appearing In This Film
- Rather disturbing to see the return of Weird Science-era Robert Downey Jr in one scene. Marvel need to stop with this whole 'let's make actors look much older/younger' business, it's too weird.
- Loki is still the only great Marvel film villain to date. I gave Ultron a half-pass though, and I'll give Zemo one too, as even though there's little to him as a character, his plan was at least more thoughtful than what we usually get.
- I spent a lot of the film thinking Daniel Bruhl was Wes Bentley. What the hell is wrong with me?
- I know it's a terribly blokey moment, but I laughed my head off at the grins Bucky and Falcon gave Cap after he kissed Sharon Carter.
- On the other hand, kissing Peggy's niece? A bit ewww.
- Martin Freeman is in this. Wait, what?
- One year to go until Guardians of the Galaxy 2! Not fussed either way about Doctor Strange at this point.

I saw this and loved it. Loved Iron Man, loved Spidey, loved the whole thing. I think I liked it better than The Avengers (GotG and Iron Man are still my two favorite Marvel movies but this is a pretty solid third)
(SPOILER)Weird actor reverse aging cgi aside, I think it was a pretty well made strong emotional scene to cement John Slatterly as Howard Stark in people's minds since the character has had like 3 different actors and anyone who was a consistent watcher of Agent Carter would wonder what the hell was happening and why we were meant to be emotionally invested in this random old guy only to find out later it was Howard Stark which softens the impact of the twist.Originally Posted by charliepanayi

Have a nice day!!
Me and Mr. Carny just saw it. Hard to say if it was the best Marvel film to date (I really liked Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man) but it is definitely up there and was the Avengers film Age of Ultron never was.
Some general thoughts:
(SPOILER)
- Stark is still a dick. The most laughable moment came at the end. The big revelation that the big bad was manipulating the heroes to fight each other went over Stark's head, who then proceeded to hulk out and... fight Captain America and Bucky. What the hell, Iron Man? You're literally doing what the evil villain wanted you to do.
- It even seems to rubbed off on Vision as well, who I really liked but now Vision adopted this strange air of superiority as well at times, like a vaguely annoying lawful good character.
- Vision is too overpowered. I mean, did you see the fight between Vision and Hawkeye? He's way too perfect. Which folds into the reason why my estimation of Vision has decreased slightly. He's just too good.
- Grievances aside, I loved the introduction of Black Panther. He came across as more balanced than Captain America and Iron Man, by the end, actually learning the lesson of the film and letting go of his vengeance. Looking forward to his solo film later.
- The reintroduction of Ant-Man were great, too. Hawk-eye was his usual self. It's almost as if the actor knows how underpowered he is and sort of plays on that for laughs.
- Spiderman was okay. Though the voice is grating - has that sort of teenage American boy vibe. Maybe he'll grow on me. It was funny for a time, playing on his youth and ineptitude but it got tiring after awhile. His adoration of Stark won him no favours with me either. Creepy award for Stark being in his room going "Your aunt May will never have to find out". Eww. Also Stark: recruiting a teenager? Seriously?
- The central dilemma is compelling and pretty well done. Those supporting oversight were always at a disadvantage because the law of films dictate that there's always something more going on - the whole 'Bucky didn't do it' was pretty obvious.
- Ultimately, by the close of film, no clear resolution occurred. The Avengers still exist under oversight (looking fairly glum, truth be told) and the others, under the secret protection of Black Panther. You've basically got two competing groups now, and things are still looking very unstable.
- I like that Black Widow provides a compromise approach. Because honestly there are good arguments for both sides. Though it is interesting that there doesn't seem to be a riposte for the assertion that oversight could be corrupted in some way.
Saw it. I thought it was....ok.
I enjoyed The Winter Solider more. I liked Spiderman but I'm not looking forward to yet another Spiderman film. I liked Black Panther enough I guess, but I'm not looking forward to that film either.
I dunno, I thought the action was great, but I guess I'm just tired of every film having an arching setup to yet another film. But then again, I've never been as into superheroes as other people are. I was more excited during the trailers for Independence Day 2 and Jason Bourne tbh.
