Saw AoU last night... I was very pleased. It held my attention throughout, and didn't feel "stale" at all, despite the similarities to the first film.

I like how they sort of met the conversation about "Hawkeye and Black Widow are not super heroes, what are they doing there?" head-on by showing Romanoff's back story and Barton's hidden home life... it was like they were saying, "yeah, they're not like the others, but they're still Avengers because humanity is powerful in its own right." (I also liked when Barton flat-out said it: "People are flying, the world is ending, and I have a bow-and-arrow. None of this makes sense.")

The humor worked well, too, which I think is important for these movies. They aren't on the same plane of humor as was "Guardians of the Galaxy," but the comic relief is needed throughout the movie. I worried that the humor would feel forced for this go-around, and yet they did an excellent job of timing and delivery. Definitely some legitimate laugh-out-loud moments.

(Sidebar: Would your significant others be as cool as Barton's if you were hanging out with/so close to a female as hot as ScarJo every day? Is there a Romanoff/Barton friendship story from the comics, or do we just buy that they're besties with no romantic interest?)

Comic book Barton has always been a bit of a playboy. He was married to Mockingbird (aka Bobbi Morse aka Adrianne Palicki from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) for a time, but now he's a hard-luck bachelor in a run-down apartment.

Set for release in the United States on May 6, 2016, Captain America: Civil War is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. The film returns Chris Evans as the iconic Super Hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America along with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Paul Bettany as The Vision, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Don Cheadle as Jim Rhodes/War Machine and Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.

After his debut in Marvel’s Ant-Man on July 17, 2015, Paul Rudd will make his first appearance alongside the Avengers as Scott Lang/Ant-Man in Captain America: Civil War.

The film also includes outstanding additional cast, including Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black Panther, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter/Agent 13, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow/ Crossbones, William Hurt as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross and Martin Freeman.

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

I think I'm more excited for this movie than I was for Age of Ultron.

Me too...

Growing up I thought Cap was ok, but didn't think much about him and focused on Spider-Man as my favorite, the X-Men and Hulk were cool too.

Not sure if it is growing up and a different perspective or how the MCU has portrayed Cap, but he really is the guy I pull for most now. And I really like the Winter Soldier movie and the comics (which I got the collected book on after the movie was announced).
