Movies and TV Robert Redford In Talks To Star In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ - Page 22

I watched it yesterday actually.

It was really good but I'm not sure why it gets so much love on CP. CP talks about it as if it's an All-Timer.

Watched it last week. Way better than I thought it was going to be. It was better than most of these superhero movies. It was good but all time good?

That's because it is. If it's not the best all-around superhero movie of all time, it's at least in the top three.

ThaVirus · 12-12-2015, 01:51 AM

1. Dark Knight
2. Batman Begins
3. Spider-Man 2
4. Avengers
5. Spider-Man
6. Avengers: Age of Ultron
7. Dark Knight Rises
8. Captain America: Winter Soldier
9. Iron Man
10. Blade 2

Guardians of the Galaxy also gets a shit ton of love from this site. It was good but I didn't think it was worth near the praise it got from CP.

im glad this is America, and we all have our own voices and ideas, but I thought The Dark Knight Rises was a hot mess. I mean, I walked out of the theatre thinking: nothing will touch The Dark Knight. I think i'm still mad at that movie......

IMO, you have the Spider-Man flicks rated way too highly. And I don't know that I would even put Avengers 2 on the list at all.

The Spider-Man films are unbearable to watch for me. First off, Tobey MaGuire is a twerpy schuck, Franco isn't believable and DaFoe was seriously overacting.

I'm on record as absolutely hating the Avengers and have even bothered to see Age of Ulton yet. Thor 2 was garbage, too. Because of the Avengers and Thor 2, I took a pass on Captain America 2 but bought on DVD and didn't even spring for Blu Ray because I expected to be disappointed.

Fortunately, it was excellent, which gave me enough faith to actually go to the theater to see Ant Man, which is my favorite Marvel movie to date, followed by GoG.

I agree with that, but I think he was talking about the most recent two Spidey flicks. Which were much better, but not better than a lot of the movies he listed, IMO.

The last 2 Spidey flicks much better???

They are the reason Marvel got his rights back.

Sony had no idea what to do with the character

They ARE better than the Rainmi versions. That doesn't mean they're Marvel Studios quality, but they're certainly improvements. My biggest problem with them is that we just don't need any more ****ing origin stories. We don't need to know how Superman, Spidey or even Batman became who they are. Lesser characters, absolutely, which is why it worked so well in things like Ant-Man and GotG.

All-timer for a comic book film, sure. It's like a throwback to 70's political thrillers. With Captain America.

Hell, seriously. Think about just that for a second. They've made Captain America into a viable film ip. Captain America. One of the silliest characters ever, despite what I think is a neat WW2 backstory. And made him central in a political thriller, of all things. I'm not sure I could think of a less likely direction for them to have gone, and they did a pretty great job of it, in my humble opinion.

I completely agree. I do think that a lot of credit has to go to Ed Brubaker who did a lot of writing for the comics, including the return of Bucky.

I think Dane and I are the only two people on earth who didn't love The Avengers. Though I didn't really hate it, either. It was just kind of there.

Which is mostly how I felt about age of ultron as well.

I haven't seen Age of Ultron, but I agree with you on Avengers. A completely mediocre movie. Didn't like love it, didn't hate it. Saw it once and don't have any desire to see it again.

Didnt Marvel get Blade back? I really enjoyed the first 2 Blades.
