Has anyone here seen Captain America: Civil War yet?

Capt. America: Civil War


What a thrillride!  The story works well and the action is superb.  Even with all the action, there are several stories and much character development as well.  Even the addition of Spidey is done well.  He steals the show for the 10-12 minutes he is actually on screen.  This could be called "Avengers 3" but could also be called "Rise of The Black Panther".  There are several stories here and each is a mini-movie of its own.  However, this is by no means a distraction to the main story of Cap. and his friend Bucky (aka Winter Soldier).

God's Not Dead 2
Four Brothers

Justice League: War. Pretty good, but kind of rushed.

It was absolutely incredible. I was starting to feel a little burned out by Marvel movies. Just look at what we have in the last 20 years?

2 Hulks
5 Spider-Mans
3 Iron Mans
2 Avengers
3 Captain America's
2 Thors
1 Guardians of the Galaxy
6 X-Mens
2 Wolverines
1 Deadpool (did not watch)
3 Punishers (if you count the fan film on Youtube, that makes 4)
3 Blades
2 Ghost Riders
3 Fantastic Fours (4 if you count that "unreleased" atrocity on Youtube)
1 Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Daredevil (Netflix)
Jessica Jones (Netflix)
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV)
countless animated features

I was getting worn out! Almost too much content!

But then Civil War happened and I WAS BLOWN AWAY. It was just too awesome. I really thought Marvel could not top themselves, but they did! Go see this movie. I'm already planning on setting aside cash to buy it on Blu-ray.


P.S. From my childhood I remember various Captain America, Hulk and Spider-Man films and/or TV shows.

If we are listing them all dont forget the Elektra and Daredevil movies either!!!! Or Howard The Duck


I agree I did not think they could top CA:The Winter Soldier and they did!!!!!!!!! It was a flawless movie!

But do you realize how many more Marvel movies are on the horizon?!

Yes, Daredevil starring Affleck. I own it. Terrible movie. Watch it once in awhile anyways. Partially because I really like Michael Clarke Duncan.

Never saw Elektra. If it's as bad as I heard Catwoman was, I'll probably leave it unseen.

Never saw Howard the Duck either.

Speaking of Affleck, he's now played two "Superheroes" as Daredevil and Batman. Chris Evans has done the same as "Human Torch" and "Captain America". Does anyone else hold this title?

Hateful Eight 
Creed
Ant Man ( I believe this is missing from the Marvel list)

Ryan Reynolds hes played Green Lantern and Deadpool
Halle Berry shes played Catwoman and Storm (X-Men)
Brandon Routh he played Superman and is now playing The Atom in DC's Legends Of Tomorrow
Michael B Jordan played Human Torch in the Fan4stic reboot and has now been cast in the Black Panther movie

Have any actors ever played two supervillains?

I was just reminded of Will Smith who played Hancock and is now playing Deadshot in Suicide Squad. Both of them are troubled heroes.

Just watched The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren last night. It was surprisingly better than I expected it to be.

They have made 3 attempts at a Punisher movie, have you seen the other 2?

Yes, I have now seen Lundgren, Jane, Stevenson and Bernthal all portray The Punisher.

I rank them as:

Jane and Bernthal: Tied at 1st place
Lundren: 2nd
Stevenson: 3rd

Oh thats right! Bernthal is the Punisher on Daredevil, cool!

Watched Gremlins with my son. It was fun to watch his reactions to it.

Watched "10 Cloverfield Lane". Not bad.

Finally got to see The Force Awakens. As much as I heard complaints about it being like the first movie, I thought it was good and stood on it's own.

Where have you been!?

I can't afford to take a family of four to the movies. Last time I went was years ago.

^^ I'm with you, DIG. It costs me almost $100 to take my crew. We do second run theaters at $3-4 per ticket. 

Anyway, my weekend movies

Miracles From Heaven
David and Goliath(2015) - an elementary school production would have been better.
Captive
The Temptations

Watched the classic 80's "The Beastmaster". Oof! I don't think it held up as good as I remmeber it from my youth.

Vacation 
Hush
Larry Crowne
