Well, the trailer's up...but I've got a lot of mixed feelings about this.

 

The Leader, I hear. In the comics, the Leader had mind-control powers at some point, so maybe he uses Isaiah Bradley (The secret Captain America from the sixties, who was mostly subjected to unsuccessful experiments to obtain the secret of the super-soldier serum) as his agent.

I wonder if Ross himself will turn into the Red Hulk. It suits the character and is dramatically sound, of course. I hope they'll at least give Mark Ruffalo a reaction shot.

Meanwhile I am looking hard for Sam Wilson's part in all this.

This feels... different.  I just hope they have a very compelling story for this, as I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Sam Wilson as Cap.  I'm in more favor of Bucky being the next Cap, which they completely skipped.

I guess this is in theaters everywhere now.  This opened in our local cinema two days ago and still haven't had the chance to watch this.  Anybody seeing this and how did you like it?

Not seeing it until Tuesday... But reviews are not great from what I am reading.

Granted, it was the last one that started under the Chapek rule, and had a ton of reshoots afterwards... So I can understand that it likely isn't the movie that Feige probably wanted to make... Unlike Daredevil where they literally just scrapped what they had filmed and rewrote the entire thing.

I'll be watching it Monday, not expecting anything on the level of past ones. But we'll see. Can't be worse than the last Venom movie can it?

Finally saw it yesterday.

Certainly wasn't bad... Not the 3rd worst Marvel movie as the RT score would make you believe... Definitely better than The Marvels and Thor: L&T. Felt more like a Thor: Dark World or Iron Man 2. Entertaining, but nothing of real substance. I'd probably place it around 28th of the 35 movies... Which does place it well above the real low points for the MCU.

But you could tell this wasn't meant to be a Falcon movie... As the plot all screamed for the Hulk. It was honestly like they had a Hulk movie sitting, waiting for Universal to let them make it, but eventually the Hulk changed enough through all the movies and they just decided to say screw it all, and make it a Falcon movie.

I wonder if the whole thing about Bucky will be mentioned at all in Thunderbolts*.
