This is definitely up ther in the top MCU films, and Ant Man and Spidey were great additions.

I really can't wait for Black Panther now, it could be epic.

i thought everyone in the film had a part to play and wasnt there for filling or did nothing

i thought the villain - zemo was fantastic

Yeah, Zemo was really good, maybe the best villain we've seen.

He let people know about the body in the tub to let people know his plan?

Also, how did Cap know Buckt killed the Starks

yeah he's the one who got the woman to walk in the room so that the body could be found.

It certainly is very cohesive. No such bullst like recasting The Flash

It as OK as a Avengers film but certainly not a great film.

A great film needs a great story, great acting, great cinematography and a certain something extra to make it great.

This had none of those qualities. It's just more money grabbing Marvel same old same old really.

Watched it today, loved it, probably just about the best MCU film for me (slightly ahead of Winter Soldier, Guardians and Iron Man)

Ant-Man and Spiderman were brilliant but I thought Black Panther was awesome.

Given the massive potential pitfalls with the concept (i.e. everywhere B v S went wrong, but with a whole load more characters to squeeze in) I thought it was executed brilliantly.

I am in two minds as to whether they should have explained Thor and Banners absence a little, given what was at stake it seemed odd that two 'major' Avengers were apparently not involved in signing the order.

I agree, it had it all. It impressed me and my mate no end.

We already knew that Thor and Hulk would be absent, Banner disappeared at the end of A2, and without SHIELD, there isn't anybody to keep tabs on him. I haven't seen Thor 2, but I guess stuff went on in Asgard?

Have to admit I have no interest in the Thor movies (despite him being my favourite character in the Avengers movies), ditto for Hulk.

Also, don't think it's been mentioned but the moment when Bucky grabs the motorbike in the tunnel chase...wow. Very cool execution of a great idea.

Yeah, I found Thor (film) so utterly tedious (despite him being one of my fave comic characters) that I never bothered with Thor 2. LIkewise I was bored by Cap America (film), but saw Winter SOlider by accident, glad I did. biggrin

At one point Black Widow is asked if she could get Banner to join. I can't remember but it was either Cap or Stark asking, the inference being that only BW knows his location.

(And Fury, obvs)

I doubt Fury knows, SHIELD is run by Coulson now, and has about 3 people in it.


What happened to Fury? I've forgotten. biggrin

Black Widow doesn't know where he is I thought. No one does.

Both Thor movies have been ruined by Natalie Portman. Luckily they've sacked her for the 3rd one

I got caught up in reading wiki articles on marvel/ultimates/universes started by reading about where Fury is...fk what a timesuckwarp.
Although it actually made me interested in the comics.

Fury has two films left, and as he has said himself, he's just a fella with a gun, he can't interact much on the fighty side when it's wall to wall enhanced humans.
Will he croak it in his 9th film?

Watched this Friday night. Fantastic film.
Favourite MCU film is still iron man one but this is second. Spiderman's part in this film was perfect and the black panther is a properly bad-ass character.

Was worried how this would end up after the mess wheedon made with AOU, but the Russo brothers have nailed this one. Can't wait for infinity war.

And Cap running out of the still rolling Q7 - Fight choreography in these films is stunning.

Have to agree with Thor and Hulk. They work really well in the ensemble movies and are two of my favourite characters but their individual films have all been pretty poor to be honest. They have such potential so I'm not sure why they can't seem to get the films right? I think both characters have suffered from poor writing\script and poor villains to face off against.

I'm really hoping they get the next Thor film with which is rumoured to also have the Hulk in it, right and these two characters finally get a chance to shine.

I think that one of the problems for the Hulk is that he is potentially the most powerful Terran entity in the MCU... the more he's hurt/annoyed/pissed off the stronger he becomes, he's easily stronger than Loki and more than a match for Thor - in fact to de-power him they have to have him loose interest (or get a calming lullaby sung to him by Black Widow). There's an argument that says he's actually one of the strongest MCU characters full stop and when you've got that level of power it really unbalances everything. If by MCU mythology he and Thor were actually on the same side in CW then that side would win, no question. If he and Thor were to meet at the airport on opposing sides then you can kiss a LARGE part of the area goodbye so again they have to be kept out
