Kind of skipped around since I haven't seen it yet but her actual review wasn't bad. Could've done without the sniping at the beginning, but she was very clear on her views on the film. Liked her choice of words about flipping through a comic book.

She's a good reviewer. Most others seized on the voice, but if you get past that her reviews are usually well done.

So at 200 reviews now, the Rottenwatch is pretty much a wrap. Final score is looking like 91-94%, with 92-93% seeming most likely.

I was hoping the MC would bump up to 78 or 79 but it looks like it'll stay about 75-76. I'm still kinda surprised Winter Soldier only managed a 70 MC tbh.

Pointed this out earlier pretty much, but 75-76 on Metacritic is a very high score for an action movie. Stuff like Fury Road getting a 90 is an exceedingly, uncommonly high score for an action movie. The Matrix is at 73, for example. John Wick at 68. The Avengers at 69. The Dark Knight at 82. The Raid at 73.

Good point. It's weird how MC video game scores are so different from their movie scores. I guess the video game industry really does operate on a 60-100 scale.
 
Well I hope you guys enjoy it. I won't be seeing it until Saturday since tickets are MUCH cheaper for matinees, but hopefully the wait won't be too awful.
 
I've finally seen it, I really lik...

That was my favorite of the Marvel films since they started to group heroes by a mile.

Well done.

Absolutely clowned the Avenger films.

I love how the MCU movies have a feel of real stakes. Like anything can happen.

On top of that, the cap movies make for a nice series of films and arc for the character.

That said I don't think civil war is a movie that can really sit well on its own. Some previous viewing and low elder of events that took place before is pretty recommended.
