Spoiler for SPOIL:
Yeah butttttt you kind of need to know who Bucky Barnes is and you kind of need to know all about Hydra from The First Avenger.


EDIT: Also, Ant Man was better than it looked, but still kinda lame.

Missed you comment at first, but yes, exactly: People keep saying Winter Soldier was special, so I'm curious.

I'm just groaning a little here. I don't think I'd appreciate the 2nd one either

I didn't care about the characters in the slightest and thought that the overall style of it was too much money for an empty-feeling result.

Here's my Nolan ranking just for fun (ftr I haven't seen Dunkirke or his shorts)

Following>The Prestige>Memento>Insomnia>The Dark Knight>Interstellar>Inception>Batman Begins>The Dark Knight Rises

Right, no one appears from the first movie but one of the most important characters lol. Derp.


And I don't think I finished Ant Man. It was fine, and Paul Rudd is always super likable, but it just wasn't that memorable. I'd rather see the wife beating Ant Man than Paul Rudd's character. But of course you can't have a family friendly movie about an unbalanced guy who hit his wife that one time. At least it might have been interesting.

I've seen all of those except Following. Never even heard about it, actually. I guess it's his feature film debut.

I'd have a somewhat different ranking for the rest, but The Dark Knight Rises would still be dead last. I like parts of it, but it kind of loses me during the last 45 minutes or so.

Batty and I have consulted and concluded that The First Avenger is necessary before seeing The Winter Soldier and Civil War.

The Thors though, nobody gave a flying **** about plot continuity in those.

I watched most of Winter Soldier, since I caught it from about 30 minutes in on FX. Lotta bullets. Predictable plot. Visually stunning, but that's about it for me. The problem I have with most of these superhero movies is the huge gaps in what should be a small portion of realism (even for something based on fiction).

Spoiler for Don't Spoil It:
Like the bunker buster scene where they discover Zola's likeness. They were maybe a 1/8 of a mile or so underground and had to take an elevator to get there. After the IED hit, all of a sudden they're next to ground level? It just seemed like a big corny gap.


I'll have to check out Logan now.

Continuity errors are inexcusable. How many sets of eyes see this **** before it gets to the theaters?
