Yeah. Garfield never really felt like Peter Parker. Holland was straight out of the comics imo.Aunt May was fairly young and hot though, so that was a bit weird.
Maybe MCU was going for the Ultimate universe's Aunt May portrayal or something.
Black Panther was another highlight. He had a great arc and a surprising amount of screen time. He was also a beast, he looked real impressive here in his fights. FIGHT SPOILERS:
Spoiler:
He looked to be a better h2h fighter than Widow considering their unarmed fights with Bucky.
Another surprising thing was how much of a BAMF FIGHT SPOILERS:
Spoiler:
Scarlet Witch was. She frigging OWNED Vision. And she owned Iron Man, Spidey (I think, it may have been someone else) and Black Widow at points too.

1's not into Marvel and other superhero films. But the other is not like a super fan, but enjoys them and usually sees new ones OW. He DD enjoy this, but said he was expecting better.
Personally though this might be my fav Marvel movie of all time. But I was always proper geeking out over Spider-Man joining the MCU. So when they nailed that part they made me happy.

Tony asked him why he became spider-man, I thought Uncle Ben would be mentioned but he wasn't...it wasn't hinted or anything unless I missed something, that bit didn't bother me loads but it did a bit because that's exactly why he did it, that's why Peter became spider-man
The impression I got was
Spoiler:
he explained why he does what he does, but without getting into the details or his own personal story. I mean he did day "with powers like ours if we don't act, then the bad things that happen are on us" was basically him saying "with great power comes great responsibility", and we all know how he learned that lesson.
Watched this last night. I really enjoyed it overall, though there were a few things that I thought could have been handled better.
Spoiler:
I found Iron Man's durability somewhat inconsistent. He can take Scarlet Witch smashing him repeatedly with cars and the suit doesn't seem to take any real damage (though Tony himself gets a bit banged up inside it), but then Bucky and Cap's H2H strikes were picking away at it. And that seems off, especially since in movies like IM2, Tony and Rhodey were smashing each other through reinforced concrete and sustaining no damage whatsoever. Even Tony's suitcase armour took repeated hits from a whip that could split race cars in half with individual hits before starting to give out. Bucky's metal arm damaging him, fine. Cap's shield, sure. But they went a bit far IMO. Though I guess the team barely won, and only because a completely f*****-up WS momentarily distracted Tony enough to give Steve enough of an opening to destroy his main arc reactor, after Tony had a clear upper hand. Also, I called what happened with Bucky's arm and the chest reactor months ago, in one of the versus matches. And at least this movie will shut all the people up who act like Tony never had a prayer of tagging Cap or Bucky in H2H, and a certain idiot who claimed Cap was going to totally solo Iron Man.Anyway, that is actually pretty minor. I felt Cap's attitude kind of stunk in this film. I wanted to go in supporting him, but I actually felt myself slowly having my opinion shift through the movie. He was acting like a bit of an arrogant ass in a lot of scenes, and all his other concerns about people and the effects of his actions seemed secondary to helping Bucky. And then we find out he's been keeping some pretty major stuff from Tony. And then in the ends sends a letter, as though that is going to make up for everything that happened.
I have to say though, I absolutely loved the Ant-Man growing sequence, and the whole fight to take him down eventually. I really liked the new Spiderman as well, and he looks like he has a lot of potential to really be the best we've had so far. And Black Panther delivered too. He seriously had WS sweating during their encounters.
Acting, action scenes, script, overall story etc. was really good though. Iron Man, in terms of acting and actually being more than just a one-liner giver, has more depth to him since IM1 IMO.
The Hawkeye family scene in AoU is the best scene of the movie and I hear he's now a kind of elder brother figure to scarlet witch in civil war and these are the most unexpected but uniquely perfect dynamics YouTube video

Spoiler:
Oh yeah. Also, and I called Iron Man was going to lose to PIS before. Even the suit which fell apart from the truck crashing handled a missile explosion and completely unharmed by bullets at 0% power, and another suit which fought Killian didn't have a scratch from being bullrushed through 3 metal walkways, another one was barely had a scratch by an Extremis chunking a metal bolt at it. Even in the first movie, Tony's first flight armor fell through through two concrete floors and crushed a car on the third floor Tony was unharmed. While fighting Iron monger, the big guy smacked him through a bus before exploding a missile on him, then he got run over by a car.
Heck even in this movie he got hit by an exploding truck goddamit. Well, I knew Cap was never gonna lose in his movie, and after AOU I knew very well they were gonna follow the popularity power ways of comicsWell, even though Cap was not so likable in this movie, atleast he didn't like Gen Ross.
The funeral scene was very well done imo.
How did Cap find Buck's apartment again? Also did Cap just get Kod when Bucky threw hit at that soldierTony's meeting with Spidey was hilarious
I am getting more and more leaked clips whic his just frustrating me further. Aargh screw you Municipality, you and your renovations to demolish theaters
Spoiler:
Don't see the one in the miidle
Spoiler:
Did you feel like BP sliding down after bucky was like Chitauri. And the scene shown before BP get s shot i nthe trailers is not the same but you'd never know that's some hell of editing
You also didn't mention Bucky one-arming that bike with his metal arm. aah, just kidding. Except for the ending this movie looks epicAlso, who threw the bomb attacked to the ceiling? BP, Falcon or Bucky? If Bucky did, where the hell did he get that?
I also hated Bucky utterly destroying Cap unlike in WS
Spoiler:
don't see the one in the middle
Well, like I said,
Spoiler:
the armour showings were a bit inconsistent, but given how beastly Cap and Bucky were portrayed in the film, I am not that bothered over it. At the end of the day, the changes the Russos made did result in a really great final battle.Cap got a lead on where Bucky was staying in Berlin, and then was in his place when WS pitched up, right before the German special forces team did.
And Black Panther was pretty badass. His way of moving actually reminded me very much of when you see certain big cats climbing up or descending from trees.
Honestly though, the scene that kind of stole the show for me was went Scott went giant. That entire sequence where War Machine, Spiderman and the rest were trying to take him down was great, as well as Tony's reaction.
Yeah it was clearly a case of
Spoiler:
"this is Cap's movie so he's going to win all the fights he's in.."
That part was the only real reminder to me that this was a Captain America movie. Because aside from that it felt to me this film was "Avengers: Civil War" for the most part (that's not a complaint).
Spoiler:
I mean besides the end fight against IM, him consistently overpowering Spider-Man was inconsistent as hell given how easily Spidey trashed Winter Soldier.
Btw Loved the iconic image straight from the comics of
Spoiler:
IM blasting at Cap's shield close up.

Oh that was soooo funny
