The first trailer is here and it's a good one: I think it looks very promising. The trailer explains a lot to those who know the comic story line - both how they will integrate it and how it will be different. And it also stands on its own as an amazing looking movie. That's par for the course for Marvel at this point though and this is one of the best looking previews I've seen in a long time. *I searched for Cap Civil War, thinking there was a thread. If I missed it, apologies.
Hmm. Not sure how I feel about the trailer. Other than too much of the same stuff? I think the Cap films have been the best stand-alone Avengers flicks, but this one looks too much like one of their ensemble features to me.
Cap chasing Black Panther who's chasing Bucky. Damn. Not surprised that we haven't seen Spidey either.
I guess its hard to have a movie about civil war..without most of the other characters somehow involved
Well yes, I get that. I guess I just prefer the stand-alone features to be more focused on the one character.
I guess they could have called it Avengers - Civil War However it feels like the story is going to be told from CA perspective much more than the Avengers plot which was not particularly focused on any of them (at most possibly split between CA and Iron Man)
It explains a lot to everyone. I get that the story's plot isn't exactly secret, but it's weird to me that we see so much of an arc for the characters. It feels spoilerish. I have the same complaint about the new Star Wars trailer fwiw. They reveal so much about the characters in one two-minute clip that there's just not enough mystery left for the film itself (which I'm very, very much looking forward to).
Captain America: The Winter Soldier was very much the same. It was very tightly integrated into the overall movie arc. Compare with Iron Man 3 or Thor: The Dark World - those were only tangentially related to the overall movie arc - but Winter Soldier was integral to the arc.
It might feel that way, but I don't worry about it being too spoilery. I think Marvel has done very well when it comes to putting a narrative together in this trailer but other trailers/movies of theirs suggest there's plenty more besides the narrative they introduced here. I don't just mean that we know Vision will also be in it, as well as Spiderman. What I liked was that it made clear how it will handle some of the major beats that this will share with the comic while also showing how the details will be different and fit perfectly well with the MCU that has been built. In fact, I think the personal note that motivates Captain America makes for a much better and believable thread for one side going too far (the trailer suggests Cap's side goes too far, but who knows). At any rate, clearly I'm hyped. I never read comics beyond GIJoe as a kid so the MCU was new to me but I made a point to go and find the Civil War comics. I enjoyed them but frankly this looks like a much better story to me.
I had only seen tweets up to this point, but now http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/03/spider-man-captain-america-civil-war
First reviews are trickling in, and they're wildly positive. http://io9.gizmodo.com/marvel-just-screened-captain-america-civil-war-and-th-1770034257
Great news. Though this isn't that much of a feat from my perspective: ‘Captain America: Civil War’ is so good, it’s a better Avengers movie than the last Avengers movie.— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016 I thought "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was a bit of a letdown.
With Tuesday's premiere the comparison now is more like first Avengers, Iron Man 1 or even no other comic book movie like it. This thing is not just getting hype it's getting a ton of love from critics.
