Its really good. Fight scenes are amazing. A lot of humor. Best Spiderman ever on film. Couple of big surprises too.
Yeah. With our kids. Great family time. They enjoy it and I enjoy seeing them happy. Anything else?
Is there anything more boring than a film snob?

A music and food snob. This place proves it. Then there's the humor snobs... and the guys that get butthurt and say "stick to sports" when they are not comfortable with a topic. All great.

I really didn't intend to sound like a snob. I honestly thought these movies were not targeted at adults. I was wrong.
I was off on Friday and alone so I got bored and decided to go an afternoon showing. I was extremely entertained the whole time. I loved the Black Panther and Spiderman and can't wait to see more of them.
I don't even think there was one child in the theatre. Room full of nerds I guess.

It seems like I am clarifying a lot lately, but my post was actually directed at another response which has since disappeared.
Saw it friday with two of my kids. Thought it sucked. These Marvel movies are all starting to look the same.
They've been like that for quite some time. I only go to them when there isn't anything on Netflix and I'm incredibly bored.
Here's a few that look really good that I want to see on DVD.
-The Last Man on the Moon
-The Messenger
-Phoenix
-James White

I felt ready empathetic for Cap. Sometimes the right decision is the hardest most heartbreaking thing you can do in your life.
Yes. What's your opinion: you have an elite team of superheroes. Do they choose to be governed by inferior humans or continue to go rogue and do what they think is right?You thought Captain America was, "thought-provoking?"
The Captain America movies have all had a good subtext. You just have to be adult enough to look. Self sacrifice and patriotism, Govt overreach and a surveillance state, lack of due process. Pretty heady stuff for a "kiddie comic movie".
Thor dealt with learning to put put others before oneself, Iron Man has PTSD on a few levels, heck even AntMan was pretty much about a guy who just wanted to be a good dad.
Not every movie has to be high art and these dont claim to be. They are escapist comic book fare. Dont like them? Thats all good. But no need to denigrate those that do.
