Captain America: Civil War (2016)

To be fair, we also shat all over that other film about a patriotic blue superhero fighting a billionaire in a robot suit.

[I, Cosh]

I decided to watch the trailer before making any more half-baked assertions. Looks generically watchable and it's good to see Spiderman continuing the noble 21st Century tradition of really silly voices in superhero films.

Have they changed Captain America's suit again?  It looked almost black.

I can almost guarantee that I'll go to see this film at the cinema and I'll enjoy it.
It's just a question of how much.

And I think Spidey looks great.

I am not feeling well, I have a cold, I slept for about two hours, and I have a pounding headache.

Excuses placed: what film are you talking about? I know I'll kick myself when you tell me

A little DC film...

He sounds like a 16 year old. As he should do.

Shitter in what way? Spidey's a great character IMHO.

Whining little gimp who still lives with his aunt. Not very super.

fixed that for you grumpy!

[Professor Bear]

Spidey being so flawed is what makes him interesting.  Few superheroes are selfish, bullying social climbers, but this is the heart of Spidey's character to the point that everything he does is motivated by trying not to be the guy who looks the other way and only thinks of himself because that's when Uncle Bens start getting knocked off.  It's touched upon less in modern times because the Overton Window has made such things unfashionable to speak about, but Spidey's stories for decades also revolved around his poverty, so there was an element of commentary on America's underclass, too.

Having said all that, I doubt very much if there will be anything made of the contrast between shit-poor Spider-Kid and the middle-aged superhero billionaires of the MCU.

Ha Captain America Winter Soldier just on Netflix now

I love the 60s Spidey comics - probably the only Super Hero stuff I have enjoyed - precisely because his super heroics are inextricaably linked with his teenage problems - indeed, cut out the super villains and I'd still fiind the stories enjoyable just for the character stuff.  Parkers dilemmas add so much, as he tries to juggle his responsibilities to his family with school, growing up, social alienation and misunderstandings with this extra burden.  They are beautiful comics.

Wooh! 

Empire just rated it 5 stars! Their quote; "Captain America: Civil War is the best Marvel Studios movie yet. There, we said it."

To be fair, Empire have been whoring out their five star ratings for so long, I don't even read their reviews any more.

Cheers
