Why did this movie garner such rave reviews?
>>
>>83873393
"Another Marvel success! The formula works!"

I saw it, and it was just kind of okay. Not as good as Ant-Man or Winter Soldier.

Disney BUX

>>83873393
It's safe, it's mediocre, it doesn't offend anyone. Your standard Marvel fair that normies eat up.
>>
>>83873393
Cause its really good.

Sorry you got triggered because it doesn't have your characters of choice in it. Short of Winter Soldier, its the best MCU movie.
>>
>>83873393
Because taste differs.
>>
>>83873393
It was nice.
Though be prepared for the thread to be taken over by mad as fuck fanboys of other dead franchises.
>>
>>83873393
Whatever conspiracy theory everyone else is accepting this week to make me pretend to be intelligent and part of the group because I can't think for myself and scared of being thought different.
>>
>>83873393
It was the Avengers sequel people were waiting on. Ashame it had to come at the expense of any character development for Bucky.

>co stars in 2 movies
>doesn't even get his arc resolved and literally gets fridged

Smh tbqh
>>
>>83873463
But X-Men Apocalypse was shit on.
>>
>>83873528
Because now characters are getting attention in team-up movies.
It's no longer only about their appearance in solo ones.

So, for how many eons do you think the DCasuals will be salty about this?

What? That's not a good reason for Bucky having no clear motivation to take over as Cap after Evans dies in IW. Marvel can't into plot or pacing.

Add Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and Alice 2.
>>
Because it was a good capeshit movie.
>>
>>83873589
But I loved Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman, but I could still enjoy the Marvel movies. Civil War was good, but not great. It only had a few good scenes and was a little slow at times. Not to mention the other problems.
>>
>>83873569
Disney's pretty good at picking and choosing which of their movies to bribe critics with, yeah.
>>
>>83873557
Oh, this will always be an argument on /co/. Even if Justice League ends up being amazing, they'll be just as sour. Hell, they might be more sour with a decent movie to point to.
>>
>>83873574
Maybe we should wait for Infinity War then.
>>
>>83873393
Because it's good and a milestone of storytelling in film.
To spend over a dozen movies building an empire in a story and then grounding it in a very humanistic way just to let it crumble.

It's a movie that wouldn't work if you didn't care about the characters, or atleast know about them, but it delivers for the hundreds of millions of people that do.
>>
>>83873615
>Not to mention the other problems.
Oh, do go ahead.
>>

At least Disney is smart enough to bribe critics, instead of buying RT and getting cucked by your own website.

Ugh. I'm on my phone right now and have them written down on the computer. I've got bad memory at times so only big important things, or very memorable ones are easy for me to remember. I'll do it though if you really want me to.
>>
>>83873393
The better question is why did Force Awakens?
>>
>>83873393
It was a decent movie about characters that everyone likes and it was midly serious.
At this point people just want to watch those characters doing shit because that's the thing they like.
They could do a movie about the average day of the Avengers' life and people would love it.
>>
>>83873660
"Why do you hate this movie?"

"SNYDER IS A WHITE MALE!"
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
>>
>>83873621
What? There are gonna be like 30 characters in that. Them wasting 3.5 hours worth of movies and not resolving his personal issues was a huge blunder. Its why TWS sucks.
>>
>>83873603
But Caribbean 4 was better than 2 and 3.
>>
>>83873705
Not really.
Pirates 4 was just an uninspired and phoned in Jack Sparrow spinoff.
>>
>>83873665
That actually is a better question, and I didn't even hate TFA.

It was filmed beautifully, acted averagely, and written terribly.
>>
>>83873715
>>83873665
Because the hype for it was inmense and it wasn't as horrible as the prequels.
Hype affects a lot people's opinions on something, it has to be really bad for people to accept that it's bad, and if it is, they'll start yelling and saying that it's the worst piece of shit ever made.
I wasn't hyped for TFA, and when I watched it I thought it was a 6/10, but I know what it feels to finally get something you've been waiting for years.
>>
>>83873660
Yes because until BvS the dominant "theory" was they're all just Donnerfags despite literally not a single review even mentioning Donner.
>>
>>83873665
>>83873715
Progressive Points. The real reason BvS did poorly was because Batman branded a sex trafficker and that triggered a lot of people because they're afraid it will inspire people to go after them.

>>83873569
John carter wasn't a bad movie. Shame it gets shit on so often.
>>
>>83873393
because it was good
>>
>>83873750
And what will you say when critics shit on Wonder Woman?
>>
>>83873393
A more personal movie about characters that people like and that have been around for years now.
That's all there is to it, likeable characters.
Hell, the entire MCU exists because people like Tony Stark.
>>
>>83873772
Probably that it sucked. Worst case scenario: it's bad and audience/critics love it. Then they might copy its style for later movies. It's basically random whether people like or dislike a movie; it has nothing to do with the actual quality.
>>
>>83873772
I honestly can't wait for that movie.

Gadot is going to get exposed hard. Why has no one noticed literally every movie she's "starred" in has flopped both commercially and critically?
>>
>>83873796
I think it's flop will have more to do with the fact that a week before Pirates of the Caribbean 5 comes out, and a week later Transformers 5 does.
>>
>>83873693
Shit, I always forget that the Russos are black trans-lesbians
>>
>>83873750
There was nothing particularly progressive about TFA, unless you're really old or really retarded.

>>83873784
I hate Tony Stark as a character. He's so annoying. But even I felt bad for him after his fight with Cap and Bucky.
>>
>>83873393
They pay for good reviews
>>
>>83873750
TFA wasn't that progressive.
I mean, apart from having a female Mary Sue, there wasn't much.
Finn was just a non-CGI Jar Jar Binks.

They can't really move it.
They either fight those, or they fight against Furious 8 and GOTG2.
>>
>>83873880
maybe they're hoping Disney will forget to pay off critics for PotC?
>>
>>83873872
Finn was too competent to be JarJar.
He was more of a Luke than Rey was, that's for sure.

I said more competent than JarJar Binks, then I compared him to fucking ANH Luke-- I'm not saying he's Lois Lane in Man of Steel that for some reason has a major purpose in every scene.

The only junior cast member more useful than him was Rey and she was a Mary Sue, so you need to choose which hill you want to die on, bruh.

PotC 4 rested entirely on Depp's Depping after Legolas and Knightley left.

But with his string of underperformers I don't know if the world still wants more Depping
>>
>>83873393
it was good
>>
>>83874072
The thing that made PotC work is that the main characters were Legolas and Knightley, while Jack Sparrow stole the show with his scenes.

It's the same as with Quicksilver in X-Men, he has fun scenes that steal the whole thing, but a whole movie focused on him would kill the ''magic''.

That's probably why they brought back Orlando Bloom for Pirates 5.

>>

It's the average rating you should be looking at, not the score. That's just how many people liked the movie.

These are the actual scores.

RT percentages only mark the percentage of people who reviewed the movie liked it or not, it's not an actual score.

It was amazing.
TWS may be a better movie, but CW was such a big and outstanding piece of work, that it simply doesn't fucking matter.
Difference between 10/10 or 9/10 isn't that big of a deal for a movie.
Let alone a rare good capeshit.

Through I fully understand DCfags suffering, since - yeah, it's painful to watch Marvel do DC's job, while WornerBros is digging up their grave deeper and deeper. I want to see a good JL movie as much as Avengers III.

It's a shame, that this probably won't happen in the next couple of decades.
>>
>>83875707
It's more of a difference between 7 and 7.5/10 with Civil War and Winter Soldier though. Still below Man of Steel for me. There just aren't very many memorable moments in Marvel movies while DC has a ton of them.

It's better than going "uhh I dunno" when people ask "why didn't you like this movie" because it's been years since you've last seen it.

Would /co be as hyped about the Disney cape movies if regular people didn't love them?

Face it lemmings, half the reason you love the MCU so much is because lots of other people do and it won't be as big a deal to you when the next zeitgeist thing happens.

It'll become just another thing you talk about with sections of Internet people only, like waifus and Crystal Gems and whateverthefuck.

All that matters in a movie, all that EVER matters, is that feeling you get right as you walk out of the theater. If your movie leaves the audience feeling depressed and drained when they weren't expecting to be, then it's not going to be remembered fondly when it comes time to talk about it.

Just because the last film made a billion dollars doesn't mean Disney spent billions of dollars into getting the rights to it and selling toys for it and making roller coasters based off of it

Either way even a critic can't spin Alice into being good. They can spin an average film (the force awakens) into being great just as well as spinning it to be bad (John Carter)

This is one of the dumbest of /tv/ pseudo-intellectualisms.

The people that like TFA now are different than the people that liked the original triology in the same way that people that liked the Civil War comic aren't the hundreds of millions of people that praised the movie.
Millennials weren't desperate for another Star Wars because their most vivid memory of the franchise was the prequels. I'm not alone when I say I would have been content never seeing another Star Wars movie in my life time. I never saw the appeal and still don't-- although KOTOR 1 and 2 were dope.

How did Zemo know that Iron Man would follow them to the hidden base?

How did Zemo know that only Cap and Bucky would make it out of the hangar fight?

If Zemo's plan was to disband the Avengers and stew mistrust between the heroes, why did he blow up the UN meeting when that would have accomplished that goal anyways?

Did he read the script? When he drowned that Hydra guy was it really to get the script?

>How did Zemo know that Iron Man would follow them to the hidden base?
He knew Bucky would, and he knew Steve would follow Bucky.
Once he got there he called the hotel and asked for breakfast in order for the maid to discover the body and to 'assemble' the Avengers to the bunker. What it actually did was corroborate the story that Cap told Tony about Zemo impersonating the interrogator, and since everyone else was in prison, crippled, or depressed Tony went alone.

>How did Zemo know that only Cap and Bucky would make it out of the hangar fight?
He didn't know there was going to be a hangar fight, retard.

>If Zemo's plan was to disband the Avengers and stew mistrust between the heroes, why did he blow up the UN meeting when that would have accomplished that goal anyways?
To find Bucky?
