Genuinely excited to see this. Hope they stick the landing.
this is going to make all of the money. All of it.
It's why i am a little surprised Captain Marvel is doing as well as it is, considering everyone is holding out for this in like a month.

@mariner4life They have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on marketing, and everybody wanted to see the end credits tease for Endgame.

I got all tingly inside when I saw this preview. Didn't offer much (Apart from Thor getting his hammer back) but still compelling!

Saw Into the Spider Verse last night. Easily the best Spider-Man movie and the best superhero movie I have seen in a while.
This is exactly what animated movies are supposed to be. Amazing.
Saw Triple Boring on Netflex. Fuck I had high hopes but as a rule anything with Garret Hedland should be avoided unless its Friday Night Lights.

@raznomore Nah more that lets have some new shit, new stuff, not same guys all mixed up and so fkn confused I can never remember who's fighting who. Probably old age, but I remember back in Iron Man 1 where there was only a few good guys (who didn't fight each other over daddy deaths) and a few bad guys (who got their arses kicked)
Ps stopped watching when Iron Man was fighting Cap America (I think?) and whiny spiderboy turned up

If this is true, then I give Marvel a lot of credit. I did see an interview last week with Gunns brother where he seemed to suggest he thought it would all work out.
Thought it was weird at the time, makes more sense now.
Also think the casts reaction helped a lot. You don’t see much loyalty in Hollywood

It was a complete over reaction in the first place. Great to see common sense has prevailed. In this day and age there doesnt appear to be alot of it around

When the hammer flies past that chicks head, is that chick Captain Marvel?
Yep. The extremely average looking Brie Larson.

@antipodean is that the Ben Affleck one? If so, I added it to my watch list last night....
Yes it is. The acting is fine. It has a good cast. But the development of the story in the second half is laughable.
I watched the whole thing assuming it was a pisstake which made it a good time filler on a flight.
Jax Teller playing Jax Teller. Sad Affleck playing Sad Affleck......
Loses stars for a lack of female nudity.

Captain Marvel
This is a great addition to the MCU and I'd happily go see it again. Well structured, well paced, and bringing through that humour that had been a feature since Ragnarok
I have no idea what the comics are like, so can't comment on any alterations to plot lines. I'm not here for that.
I thought the cast was great, the action scenes superb, and the 90s soundtrack absolutely killer. Skrull accent not what I was expecting 😉
My kids fuckin loved it, particularly Miss TA who has been lucky enough to be born at a time where movies like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel have given us really strong female characters.

I docked it a point for that alone, almost ruined the movie for me.
At least it still had all the vowels

I didn't think it was 'ludicrously bad' but agree the story in that second half was terrible ... in fact they could have kept the same outline and just written it better and made a much better 'chase' style movie.
One of it's big issues is that the characters all seemed to swap as the movie moved on, one minute one of them was the thoughtful calm one and then the next he was the lunatic.
I'd like to see that cast with better direction - in fact Affleck could have directed it better - even though Chandor has directed decent stuff in the past.
@Crucial No nudity but the chick in it was hot.
