I am booked and primed with my Marvel mad daughter to go and see this on Friday. We are hoping for Marvel picking up a bit...their last offering (Ultron) was good - very good - but it dropped a bit from previous titles imo.
Stay tuned.
The release date in the States in May 6. If you get to go this Friday, you have my envy ;)
Yep - it's out here. All booked up and ready.
I'll not give any spoilers obviously
I'm right with you Dredd. I want something a little more epic than Ultron. I hope this fits. 8)
I will have my arse planted in a big comfy seat at 4pm on the 6th to watch the movie in all its 3d greatness. O0
Several evening shows scheduled here for the 5th. O0
I'll be taking the kids that weekend it opens.

Hm. Early review buzz indicates it's much better than Ultron but NOT as epic -- as befits the plot.
On the other hand, the introduction of [spoiler]-Man, which has been kept mostly secret so far, could be pretty epic in its own right, for the brief time he's in action.
Well been to see it.
Very good. Great story. Good journey.
I don't want to give too much away...but Spidey was superb. I thought (when I saw him in the trailers) that it was a daft move...I just didn't see how he fitted in...but he did...marvellously imo.
I like the humour throughout - some real LOL moments and not overly done...the funny parts that were there were well placed and genuinely funny.
My top 5 Marvel films are
- Deadpool
The humour and action in this was just amazing - Guardians of the Galaxy
Loved the universe, the acting, the story and the characters - Captain America:Winter Soldier
Loved the gritty-ness of this one...it just seemed more serious/dark - Captain America:Civil War
It's the Cap - enough humour and action to keep you entertained and a great story thrown in - ...the others
I'm so effing jealous right now
So. Would it be worth the cost of a round trip ticket to England to see it early.

I actually enjoyed Thor: Dark World more than CA: Winter Soldier.
Probably due to the extra dark & sci-fantasy-ish Dark Elves. And despite being regularly unimpressed with Natalie Portman's performances.
Yeah, I really liked the 2 Thor movies too. I thought the villain in the last one destroyed Britain so they couldn't show movies there early. Dammit.
You people are weird :P
I think the Thor movies were my least fav. I enjoyed them - but in the list of Marvel movies, they are competing near the bottom...though there really isn't a lot in it.
No...not worth the round ticket I'm afraid. But well worth another showing which we will be going to tomorrow or Monday.
It's very, very good. I don't know if that came across in my post, but it was late and I was tired and it had been a long week. A couple of things occurred I didn't see. Spidey was very, very good and fitted very well into the film. How he's brought in and how he plays out is just very well done.
Excellent fight scenes. A couple of obvious CGI bits, but not too many.
Ant man is fantastic. Vision was excellent - and one of my least fav from Ultron, but again, they fleshed him out well and he was placed well. The fight scene in Berlin (airport - in the trailers) looked odd to me in the trailer - but it's actually done extremely well.
So - it was superb.
Caveat - I am a huge Marvel fan. I've never had anything to do with the comics, universe, stories, films...but I'm a huge fan of the films they are churning out. They regularly get 8 and above from me. And my favourite character is Cap. He's just a legend and the fact he's everything good just makes him king of the Avengers (which he should be anyway as he was the first) O0

well, in the comics he doesn't join the Avengers 'til around #4 or so, and doesn't take charge 'til around #16.
in WWII, his 'group' were The Invaders (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Invaders_Vol_1)
The obligatory second viewing for us tonight. We're just as excited to see it a second time as we were the first!
I think if the guy's name is America, WE should get to see the damned movie first. And then only allow it to be seen elsewhere if WE approve it and only when WE are through with it. ;D
I'll let my daughter take that up with you :2funny:
It does seem harsh that you're getting it after - and odd. I suppose there's some marketing reason for it...you know someone has crunched the figures and realised how to maximise profit. It's all about the profit margin.
Anyway - back and it was a superb as the first time. My wife will be going to see it next week with my daughter and - if it's still out the week after that, I'll go again I imagine.

Someone needs their kilt dyed florescent pink.
Hey, I want no trouble with the Dredd-Daughter. If anybody gets to see it early, I'm glad it's the good folks in the Mother Country.
I heard the reason it's released internationally first is due to piracy concerns. There are some overseas places that are notorious for pirating movies and getting it to them first lessens the damage they might do.
Why not do a global day release? Surely that would entirely minimise the piracy issue?

Honestly - when it comes to The Cap you do not want her to get mad >:D

Off to see the Good Captain this afternoon. Opinions and smart-ass remarks to follow.
OK. Here we go. First, who would've believed that Steve Rogers and Scarlett Witch would turn-out to be brother and sister? :o....... GOTCHA! ;D Sorry. Just couldn't resist. Hey, I could've gone--- who would've guessed Tony Stark was gay? Or, how about that hot shower scene with Scarlett Witch and Black Widow? ^-^
But seriously, this wasn't Captain America. It was really Avengers 3. Minus Hulk and Thor but needs those two 4-Letter Words. And worthy of the name it is. A truly great film superior to the other Cap's and Ultron and a very close second to Avengers 1. The airport fight scene is probably the best fight scene ever and the movie never seems to have too many heroes even though it has enough to fill a 747. I'd take a few points off for very fast, confusing action sequences and a slightly predictable ending which I won't ruin--- but no real sense of loss there. But I loved it. And BTW, there's 2 extra scenes at the end. Don't miss them. I gotta say 8.5 out of 10.
Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow with my kids.
Sunday matinee for me.
First off...

I can't actually comprehend exactly how much money I would pay for that movie O:-)

I honestly didn't see it.
I also agree it could've been called Avengers - Civil War...good call there. O0
I will be going to see it again if it's still out in 2 weeks.
I give it a solid 11 out of 10 just for the shower scene and it is cool you didn't give away the spoiler that ant man is killed in that scene. Died happy though. Oops, just spilled the beans on that one. >:D
All kidding aside, a great movie in the series, probably the best to date. Great action, well balanced face time and important character interactions. It was a wild ride. Now I just need to find time to see it again. O0
Yeah that Ant Man could be quite the Perv if he wanted to be. ^-^ I'm going to totally avoid, Gerbil Guy if he show-up. ::)

I don't think Star is in any danger or starring in a Marvel movie. He might be in danger of starring in something else...
Terrific movie. Kids and I loved it. Give it a 9 out of 10. Second only to the first Avengers in the MCU. Agree about some of the action not being handled particularly well, but the set piece at the airport was outstanding.
This was so much more fun than Batman v Superman. Marvel knows the formula for these movies.
Just got back from seeing it with my daughter and her friend. We all really enjoyed it. I like the character interaction. Everyone had their own personality and stuck with it. More than once in the movie. The action was pretty intense. My only (minor) quibble is the shaky camera in the beginning sequence. Still don't like it as well as the first Avengers movie, but it's a close second.
The shaky cam annoyed me too.
40Jr. hated this version of Spidey and said that he won't go and see the next Spider-Man flick if he is in it. I liked the fresh new Spidey, and the new Aunt Mae!!!
Yeah. Aunt May I? Please, please? 8)
Aunt Mae from My Cousin Vinny :-*
My wife INSISTED we see it on the biggest screen tonight. It was one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. She liked it more than I did.
Twas brilliant. Needed Daredevil in it.
Finally got to see it. We hadn't seen Antman or the 2nd Avengers, so some of the new characters were a little confusing. But as usual, Marvel hit it out of the park with a great mix of action, story telling, and comedy. Jake was a little shaken with all of the infighting. And the wife and kids were really confused as to who the good guys were and the bad guys, but that's just because they weren't excepting the way the movie was going to twist and turn.
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
We stayed and saw the clip after the start of the credits, with Bucky, Cap, and Black Panther. Was there another clip after that. The wife was wanting to get the kids home as it's a school night (only 4 left for this school year) and they hadn't had shower yet.
Yes. There was a second clip at the very end after a whole lot of credits of Spiderman/Peter Parker with a Spiderman beacon Tony Stark or Stank gave him. Kind of cool.
Made the mistake of taking a seat too close to the screen, so the shaky-cam nearly did me in. Still loved it.
Next Cap movie will be: Captain America Civil Union

While I kind of liked the twist of what Zemo did with the (MCU version of the) Serpent Society, the film would have played better with everyone settling their differences like adults and then pounding the Society. :buck2:
As it is, it reads like a plot-forced schism to set up a new generation of Avengers for the first Infinity Gauntlet movie, which the writers (somewhat) cleverly turned into a deconstruction of how inter-hero fights play out.
Not that I didn't love it. :smitten: And yes, it's painfully obvious Vision was too overpowered to be included in the story at key points. Lol'd hard at the tombstones.
