Is that directed toward my decision to watch the mist or my negative review?

Seeing Civil War tomorrow. Wasn't looking forward to it when it was announced, but previews and reviews have me much more excited.

Saw it yesterday. It was good. There was one plot element that just didn't seem believable, but it didn't ruin the movie. It was really light on "villainy," but I get that that wasn't the point of the movie. I liked the grafting in of new Avengers into the previous cast. I'd give it 8.5/10, or maybe even 9/10.

I agree, some holes but overall good.

I am not a comic book person, but from what I have heard the comic book version of Civil War was much more "dark" and a key character in the MCU died at the end of it (don't want to spoil the movie) but the movie was much more "child friendly" than the comic book version.

Exactly. It's setting up for Infinity Wars.

Sure. Under those circumstances, though, I think they could have cut out a solid half hour, though.

As for the plot hole that bothered me, I suppose it wasn't some huge hole, but with the amount of hubris that Stark has always shown, it seems so out-of-character for him to want oversight from another entity, even under the circumstances explained in the movie. That seemed like a forced personality change. Didn't care for it.

Civil War. Meh. Not bad, but didn't like near as much as some of the other Marvel movies.

The Wolf of Wall Street - 6.5/10.
Thought the movie was decent, but Margot Robbie, wow.

Scarface - 7/10.
Saw it was on Netflix and never seen it so wanted to check it out. Knew the big quotes so was cool to actually see them used in the movie.
IYO Scarface is .5 better than Wolf?

Ah, glad to hear the rest of this SUPERHERO MOVIE was believable.

I double-checked the math, and that's how it plays out.

Good grief. In the fictional Marvel universe, there are superheroes, so that part of the movie is believable for the fictional movie.

There was an element to one of the characters that seemed very counter-intuitive for the groundwork the writers had already laid for the character.

Hell, I didn't think I'd have to spell that out.

Really thought it was 1.5 better, but Wolf got a 1 point bump because of Margot Robbie.

I could see that, a 25 year old Michelle Pfeiffer was not bad to look at though.

I noticed that too. But then I thought, maybe there's some kind of ulterior motive for Stark? I don't read the comics so I have no idea if that's true or not. Just my theory.

I agree, from what I understand the comic book folks thought the same thing back when the book(s) came out like 10 years ago. They didn't understand why Stark would be all for oversight by the government.

I put it better than most of the single character Marvel Movies (Thor, Hulk, etc) but not as good as any of the Avengers or even Iron Man.

It was definitely not better than Guardians of the Galaxy either or Deadpool.

The only thing I could come up with was that his origin story was, at least in the films, about defying oversight. Perhaps this was him coming to grips with what had resulted from something for which he had fought ever since he became Iron Man.

It's a stretch, no doubt, but it was all I could come up with.

Agreed. But I'd even add a few other solos that I liked more.

Captain America 1
Ant Man

I don't know what it was, but something was off about the movie. Just didn't click for me, and I thought it dragged along.

I definitely expected more. I think if I would have gone in expecting a captain America movie I would have enjoyed it more. I agree with everyone about iron man not being the one who would welcome govt oversight. It also lost me after the airport fight scene. To much of that didn't make sense.

Finally I think dead pool raised the bar for comic book movies. It was damn good and I expect that now from all of them

My biggest problem with the airport scene was they were almost all 'joking' and not really fighting to 'win' or hurt each other.

The final battle with IM/Cap/Winter looked like it was going to go to the 'death'.
