[Timu]

Bruh, you can't just be droppin a ton of black bars like that


gets me triggered

I had to post the review somehow without accidentally spoiling it for everyone.=p

 

[guek]

T-minus 30 minutes

 

[Lifejumper]

Kinda sad the captain america movies are coming to an end. I wonder if evans will extend his contract after IW.

 

[tomtom94]

This one is kinda this right?

I see this one as training wheels for how to handle a huge number of characters, the Cap/Iron Man relationship, etc.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Sucks!

Edited for preview screening goers.

No edit is really necessary there, since people seeing the preview screening get their fix much sooner.

 

[icespide]

28 minutes till

He will if Marvel wants him, that's what Chris said.

 

[guek]

Does anyone know if they're shooting IW pt 1 and 2 back to back?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I wouldn't rule it out. He seems to only want to act in Marvel movies going forward.

Does anyone know if they're shooting IW pt 1 and 2 back to back?

They are, but the Russos said not to take that as meaning they're one movie split in two parts. They are both standalone films.

 

[timetokill]

Hoping Iron Man wins

 

[BronsonLee]

Does anyone know if they're shooting IW pt 1 and 2 back to back?

I believe they said they were.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Does anyone know if they're shooting IW pt 1 and 2 back to back?

They are, but apparently they are not two halves of one movie. They're apparently two very different movies.

It gives him enough money to pursue his passion projects, so why not.

 

[guek]

Thanks. That means they have 2+ years to make it as great as absolutely possible.

 

[BronsonLee]

I hereby demand that Chris Evans be fired from all Marvel movies, so we can stop him from making bad ripoffs of Before Sunrise

 

[Blade30]

Yes, the movies are only 1 year apart anyway so it makes sense.

[Luke_Wal]

Is there any way at all to get a ticket to the DC early screening? I would probably pay someone else on Gaf way too much money for that.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Makes sense since there's two movies in between

 

[Manmademan]

Part 1: 18th century period piece

Part 2: Stoner comedy

 

[mckmas8808]

It only has to get 82% to do better than BvS' Rotten Tomatoes score reversed.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tomtom94]

I know this is going to sound like a terrible comparison, but something like the approach they took with Mockingjay could work. Parts 1 and 2 deal with very different themes, although unfortunately part 1 never really moves beyond setting up Part 2.

More twitter impressions

"@firstshowing: Whoa. Captain America: Civil War is indeed outstanding. Totally blown away by all the action, better than both Avengers. Remarkable

@kristapley
Ant-Man is the best thing about Cap Civil War. Movie's way too long. No structure. Antagonist's motivation is sorta weak sauce. But I dug it

@erikdavis
CIVIL WAR will go down as the MCU's EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Other great films & scenes will likely follow, but they'll be compared to CW imo

 

[Inferno313]

Only has to get an 84% to triple BvS score.

 

[gamz]

As long as he never does it again, he's forgiven.


The bigger question is did anyone see it?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm hoping it means Part 1 follows Thanos' conquests on his way to earth, and Part 2 is the big showdown.

Part 1 shouldn't end on a cliffhanger in the middle of the battle against Thanos or something.

 

[MMarston]

btw, i hope we get more snarky thread title changes, even if in the scenario that it does get mostly positive reviews

 

[Zeyphersan]

It's amazing how much of the MCU WORKS BECAUSE OF Chris Evans. I remember reading that Jim from The Office was originally going to get he part and I just don't think it would have worked this well

 

[aeolustl]

Alright, I'm ready with my shot glasses.

LOL remind me how some DC fans said how RT was paid by Disney
RT was still owned by WB when BvS came out

 

[Divvy]

Me too. BvS was only about 28% as fun as the RT thread itself

And the thumb comes down on one of the pulsing nerves quietly thrumming just under the surface.

There's always one!

I read something earlier today from the Russos that said part one will focus on thanos.

 

[ratcliffja]

Yeah but if it does 91%, then BVS can say the same.

 

[Kacho]

Wow, that's great to hear. Not a fan of the split movie finale trend we've been seeing in Hollywood the past few years.

No way. Don't do this... The hype is unreal.

Seriously? That would have been incredible lol, I don't think I would be able to suspend my disbelief.

If you ask me...

Part 1: Classic, colourful super-hero team up movie. The MCU bands together to beat Thanos. Film ends with them all getting curbstomped on, with Thanos taking over the universe.

Part 2: Surviving heroes band together to defeat Thanos. Probably by venturing out into the cosmos and meeting the Guardians. Use the Infinity Gauntlet to reverse all the damage Thanos has wrought and restore order to the universe.

Part 1: 18th century period piece

Part 2: Stoner comedy

Seth Rogan as Pip the Troll and James Franco as Star Fox.

It depends. I'd like to see one of the movies have Thanos as the protagonist and the second be the big fight against him, as others have said.

I can see IW1 getting shelacced because it's so much set up but if I had to guess the structure will be a lot like the first two issues of Secret Wars (HIckman). Issue 1/IW1 will be a huge fight with Thanos on Earth. Issue 2/IW2 will be in space, bringing the fight to the galaxy. I can see them bringing in some Kree/Skrull (or Kree/Chitauri) type stuff in there.

Makes sense how the comics are playing up Captain Marvel's spaceness. I can see her being introduced in the MCU as a necessary space liason after IW1 introduces THanos as an immediate threat and the GotG show up and open up a wider galaxy to play in.

Leading Doc Strange to be all "YA DOY. TOLD Y'ALL."

We have spider man 2 and Empire strikes back. The Hype meter is god tier.

 

[Garlador]

You guys' hype is infectious. Lol.

Bring on the reviews.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

He beefed up a lot for that BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI movie, but who knows if he'd be good for Cap in terms of character.

 

[mckmas8808]

Give me them Black Panther impressions.

He's literally my most anticipated character.

I want this so bad too!!!!

Ant Man & The Wasp is after Part 1, that's going to be an interesting change of pace
