I thought the guy that plays Captain America is actually a Lefty.
It sorta looks like a goofy premise kinda like the Batman vs. Supermen nonsense.
Whether we’ll like the movie or not, here’s the gross after just 4 days out (The movie budget was $250 Million ):
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $181,791,000 26.9%
+ Foreign: $494,000,000 73.1%
= Worldwide: $675,791,000
It’s on track to gross over a Billion dollars at the rate it’s going.
RE: I thought the guy that plays Captain America is actually a Lefty.
Well, Captain America was the one who was against government control. Ironically, it is the “rebel” Iron Man who was fighting for the Avengers to be under the auspices of the United Nations.
Aren’t they all.
I meant Chris Evans - I heard he was a Lefty.
Great shot of Ant-Man.
RE: Great shot of Ant-Man.
If you hadn’t told me, I’d have missed him :)
Chris Evans is probably a big time Lefty, but I give him kudos: Captain America is my all-time favorite Superhero and Evans has done a great job.
IMHO, “Captain America, the First Avenger” is the best Comic book movie ever (crush on Peggy Carter!).
After the Civil War it took almost a hundred years for blacks to go through the KKK, Segregation, Separate but Equal, Civil Rights marches, attacked by cops and dogs .....
I’m rooting for Scarlett Johanssen....to have a “wardrobe malfunction.”
She already did, on her cell phone.
The movie was excellent, certainly the most “serious” of the Avengers movies, and I like them all.
But, a major underlying liberal theme animated the whole movie. The Avengers are blamed for collateral damage in situations where they literally saved the world.
And there was a major anti-military leftist theme voiced by the Vision, who theorizes that the bad guys keep attacking BECAUSE they are attracted by the Avengers’ strength.
Yes Captain America resisted global control, but the movie doesn’t exactly decide he was right.
I don’t think I would have seen him had I not been looking for him. He’s a bit wee.
Waiting for ITunes on this one. I can’t believe that with fifty plus years of material the best they can do is Civil War. Not to mention that Iron man wanting government control after previously rejecting it and creating Ultron just to see if he could is laughable.
So Tony did you want government overwatch before or after you created an independently thinking killing machine and would you have listened?
Fun, go turn your head off for a couple of hours, kind of movie. But it wasn't just Loud and Dumb (like some of the others...) It made WBill Jr think a little. I could see the wheels turning when he walked out of the theater...
"What's more important, doing what's right, or doing what's lawful? What happens when the two are in conflict?"
Most important.... "What happens when the government is *WRONG*?"
I don’t know if Chris Evans is, I have not heard that myself.
It is the directors of the second and third Captain America movies, Anthony and Joe Russo, that are big lefties.
But even if Chris Evans is, he is smart enough to keep that to himself and let people enjoy his movies.
Did not Tony Stark give up the Iron Man schtik in IM3?
