I always enjoyed CA:TFA and never understood any of the problems that people had with it.

- World War 2 era period piece :ehh:
- Hugo Weaving's Red Skull :whoo:
- Tommy Lee Jones's Chester Phillips spitting quoteables :whew:
- That ending :wow:
- That after credits trailer :krs:
- "The Star Spangled Man With A Plan"



:banderas:

The second best Phase 1 movie behind Iron Man. Everything about it is solid from beginning to end.

exactly how I feel, might watch it tonight

Awful is a bit much but it definitely falls apart in the second hour. The build-up to Steve becoming Cap is the best storytelling Marvel has done in any of their movies, and then they just turn the whole thing into a sloppy montage of action scenes.

they fast-forward through the entire fukking war. Yeah, that's not the story they wanted to tell. But it's the most interesting story to tell. But they needed to get on with Avengers so unfortunately we will never get a story that revolves around Cap in the war which are some of his most interesting.. :francis:

Watching this now. Haven’t seen many of the Marvel films and decided to start by watching in chronological order.

This is entertaining but kinda cheesy to be honest.

Just finished up.

6.5/10

Not bad just super cheesy and the fight scenes were mid. Also, I know it’s a movie, and a superhero movie at that…but some of the scenes were just very unbelievable. Like him just waltzing into a Nazi stronghold and sneaking by 100s of people. Like damn they are smart enough to develop vaporizing guns but not smart enough to have better security?

Anyway, not a bad film. Just OK.

On to Captain Marvel now…
