My verdict? I fell asleep during the first 90 minutes. In the last hour, action picked up considerably, but not enough to save this flick.

I thought it was a very good film. I enjoyed it and it had some very good moments.

I thought the movie was OK right up until they killed Hodor.

I think writers are getting sloppy. Can’t blame them. Too many Marvel films to keep up. Although, they hit a home run with Antman last year, I was pleasantly surprised. X-Men was good too, I loved the Nixon bit in the movie.

I thought it was pretty good as well. The author of the piece sounds like they aren’t a Marvel/Superhero genre aficionado to say the least. If people don’t like these types of movies that’s fine, but I don’t need to read them vent their spleen about it either. Heck, most of the movies critics hate I like, and most they like, I hate.

I was reluctant to go but it was Captain America or Angry Birds. I was pleasantly surprised and consider it one of the best of the series.

At least Captain refused to side with the UN. Ant-Man stole the picture (even before his surprise move).

Comic book movies are for, the most part, (not you guys...even I saw deadpool yesterday...) today's modern 'man'--a low T weenieboi who, deep down, knows there is good and evil, but is too cowardly to face it in everyday life.

He has no problem distinguishing the "good guys" from the "Bad guys" in comic book movies...But will not as much as make a comment on the internet that goes against a viscous, relentless and seemingly unstoppable liberal groupthink.

And so he hides his head in a fantasyland of comic book movies, toys and video games. things that remind him of when the world was less complicated--and safer.

Turned it off? It’s in theaters. Are you talking about the right one?

Angry Birds is pissing off the left. They see it as a criticism of the refugee crisis and a call for individuality.

Regular movies tend to be about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours.

These ‘action’ movies go over 2 hours.

Whenever I watch one, I notice that I look for areas where they could have cut.

After about 1-1/2 hours of so, I find myself drifting or picking up the laptop to check out things online.

That was a cool scene. He went Right on Ironman who sold himself out to the Leftist Overclass.

Was pleasantly surprised at this anti-NWO message which told us he really was Captain America.

Ironman had to admit he was wrong and was being duped by the government thugs.

Captain America: a Free Man who stands with his friends. A Real American, it seems.

That's why I like comedies. If it sucks, you only lose 90 minutes of your time.
