she's the reason I've watched this 3x in the theatreAnyone else feel scarlet Jo stole the movie.
I'm glad they didn't try to force a romance or "who do you save" dilemma in with all the action and intrigue.
TWS is the Empire Strikes Back of superhero movies.
Spoiler:Cap says Bucky's name and He all like "who the hell is Bucky". It surprised me becuase I thought he was a mute assassin who pretty much only knew a few words. The way he said it just caught me way off guard. I know he said some form of german on the bridge when he was after widow but still.
Anyone else feel scarlet Jo stole the movie.
The bad guys didn't win in TESB. Vader's entire mission throughout the whole film (turn Luke to the Dark Side) failed. He couldn't even capture him.
When I compare TWS I'm speaking of quality anyway, not plots or who wins/loses.
Spoiler:I suppose with SHIELD being disbanded and Fury and others going into hiding, it is very much like the ending of Empire. The good guys are definitely in a bad spot right now. While the bad guy's didn't achieve their ultimate goal of world peace (those monsters!) they did at least strike a critical blow to the good guys with taking out SHIELD. Fury is believed dead by most and in hiding. BW's past is known and she's gone underground. Cap and Falcon are on their own (so I hope they address what happened their in AoU if Falcon isn't in it). Plus Winter Soldier is still out there. Its he good or bad? Luke, er, Cap senses there is still good in him. Could Vad... Winter Soldier turn from the dark side?
Then saying its the ESB of superhero films isn't the best analogy.
Well says you I guess. It definitely isn't something I'm going to argue. I felt that TWS was darker and better than it's already great predecessor, if you didn't then to each his own.
Saw it, 8/10
Good movie, a lot of you are going overboard with the 11/10 stuff. Best Cap so far and I agree Anzik, the story is definitely better than The Avengers. Some people just won't be able to get over the action in Avengers featuring everyone but that's really the only gimmick going for it imo.
Having Redford in it was really cool, and they nailed Cap's movements but more important, I didn't feel like I was watching a floppy dildo run around for 2 hours. Too bad this guy didn't do The First Avenger.
I still prefer IM1 and maybe 2 but I know I'm in the minorty with 2.
