CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR REVIEW

CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR 




After Months and Months of wait,the Epic Superhero Team Battle has finally dawned upon us.
So Far the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already made more than 10 films. 

Every Single film that had been produced by Marvel So far has been Amazing and the layout has been fantastic.This squabble between Captain America and Iron man started in the First Avengers Movie itself.It continued in the 2nd Avengers Movie as well.

However,the ideology differences between both of them has reached a very Critical Stage and leads to War.

The Movie Starts by Showing Bucky assassinating someone and stealing a briefcase containing a secret formula.

Then We see the new Avengers (minus War Machine and Vision) trying to stop terrorists in Wakanda. Captain America Battles Crossbones but is unable to stop him from bombing the Building.Scarlett witch is also unable to control his powers causing the explosion to kill civilians.

Because of this and several other events,General Thunderbolt Ross sanctions a Governing System called the Accords to Contain and Control the Avengers.

Iron Man ,War Machine,Vision and Black Widow agree,but Captain America,Falcon and Scarlett Witch Don't.

After the death of Agent Carter,Another Explosion Happens in Wakanda,Killing their king T'Chaka.His son T'Challa goes after the person who caused the explosion,the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes.

Captain America becomes an fugitive after choosing to protect Bucky and he recruits Ant Man to help him.Iron man meanwhile recruits Peter Parker. Hawk-eye returns and also aids Captain America.Black Panther meanwhile chooses to be with Iron man.

Team Captain America and Team Iron man battle .While this is happening,it is revealed that a Common man,Effected by the events in Sokovia (Avengers 2) known as Helmut Zemo is the cause and the main proper tier behind the attacks.



During the battle,Captain America and Bucky are allowed to leave by Black Widow and in the ensuing chaos,Vision,distracted by Scarlett witch mistakenly shoots down War Machine instead of Falcon.Captain America and Bucky Go to Siberia in search of Helmut Zemo.

Hawk-eye,Scarlett Witch,Falcon and Ant man are captured and placed in a super prison called the RAFT.Iron Man finds out the truth about bucky and the bombings and goes to siberia to make amends and aid them.

Iron man makes amends with Bucky and Cap and together they find out that Bucky was not the only Winter Soldier. Helmut zemo however had already killed all of them and intended to make Iron Man and Captain America to fight again by showing him the footage shown in the beginning of the film.

It is revealed that Bucky killed Tony Stark's Parents and Cap knew about it.This rekindles Iron Man's Hate towards Bucky and they fight again. Zemo,happy that he has achieved his dreams proceeds to leave the facility and prepares to commit suicide but he is stopped by Black Panther who brings him to the authorities

In the ensuing final battle,Bucky (losing his cybernatic arm) and Cap disable Iron Man's Armour and Leave the place. the avengers Are fractured from within,but Cap and Iron man later make amends and Iron man allows Cap to break Hawk-eye,Scarlett Witch,Falcon and Ant man from the RAFT.

Cap and Bucky then decide to Stay in Wakanda with Black Panther and Bucky decides to be put in Crio Sleep untill a Cure is found for his Problem.

Overall,this is an EPIC movie.The Best From Marvel's Production House yet. The Battle scenes at the Airport was just Amazing,all your childhood superheroes smashing each other and heck Ant Man even became Giant Man.

However,eventhough there are many super heroes leading the movie to be called Avengers 2.5,the directors have carefully but also brilliantly made this movie as a Captain America Movie.

It Stands out as a Captain America Movie.



A lot of elements were lifted from the comics and overall ,i just cannot wait for the Thor 3,Guardians 2 and of course Avengers 3.

Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige,you people are just Epic,making everybody's dream come through.

We Cannot wait for  more.

The Van Gaal Dilemma

To Keep Or To Dump




As Manchester United Fans,it is has seriously been very frustrating over the past few years.

Similar to the Liverpool decline that has continued for 2 decades,Manchester United are experiencing the same thing now.

After the Greatest Manager Sir Alex Ferguson Retired,
Manchester United Never Recovered.

First David Moyes,And then Big Louie Van Gaal.

The Result is the same mediocrity,Inconsistency and total lack of respect for the fans.

Louie Van Gaal has epitomized the word Egomaniac like no one else. 

He has surpassed Fergie,Brian Clough and Even Greame Souness when it comes to stuborness.

When LVG first Arrived,He would talk about Philosophy (They is none so far).

The Only Philosophy Visible are players who are dumbfounded and clueless.

Why ?

Because old big head instructs them to play a certain way and makes tactical decisions that baffle even the ball boys.

For Example,Why take Out Marcus Rashford for Ashley Young of all people when facing Tottenham. 

United had a good first half,but LVG decides that Rashford is not doing enough and decides to Replace him with Ashley Young. 

Its acceptable if Young straight went to Right Wing or Left Wing but he was playing as a number 9!!! with Anthony Martial still playing wide. 

Buffoonery at its best!!!

This is the story of Van Gaal At Manchester United;

Clueless,Lost,Stubborn,Short of Confidence. 

But,the one refreshing thing he did was give us all the fearless and magnificent youngsters.

This is the first time since the Exceptional Class of 92 that we are getting a bunch of Special Talent coming through the ranks.

Tyler Blackett,
Paddy McNair,
Cameron Bothwick Jackson,
Andreas Pereirra,
Adnan Januzaj
Jesse Lingard,
Timothy Fosu Mensah
Marcus Rashford
Donald Love
Joe Riley
James Weir
James Wilson
Guille Varela

13 Exceptional Youngsters coming through the ranks.

Believe it Or not,This is the only good thing that LVG has done for the club.










Of Late,United seemed to have rebounded so the talk of LVG going has stopped once again.

Defeat at Everton may Concoct it again though and this time Edward "The Clueless" Woodward should have the bollocks to pull the trigger and Sack Loius Van Gaal Forever.

So Do We Keep Him Or Dump Him ?

I'd Say Thanks LVG for the Great Kids But Good bye Forever and don't ever come back.

MUST READ !!! THE COMIC BOOK MOVIE UNIVERSE ...A FANBOYS DREAM COME TRUE

THE COMIC BOOK MOVIE UNIVERSE 



MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE & DC CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

Let me first of all start off by saying i am a fan of both comicbook companies, 

From DC Comics,my favourites are The Justice League and its famous members. Mainly Superman,Batman,Aquaman,Green Lantern and Shazam.

From Marvel Comics,My favourites are ...Well...almost everyone actually.

But i do not want to sound bias,Both comic companies seemingly got inspired by each other.They were and are still having a helthy competition.


DC Cinematic Universe













DC Comics were the first i believe to venture out into Cinema (Feel free to correct me if i am wrong in the comments section below).Superman and Batman were the first Mainstream Super heroes that got made into a feature film

I am not so sure about the 60's but from my knowledge,

The first super hero movie made was Superman,directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeves.This movie was a Box office blockbuster.



This was followed by the bigger blockbuster (once again correct me if i am wrong) Superman 2



Superman 3 and Superman 4 Followed all staring Reeves,but failed to make an impact like its predecessors.





Even the Bryan Singer Directed Superman returns in 2004 failed to make an impact.

However,Zack Synder revived the franchise in 2013's Man of Steel.



Once the Superman fever ended,Tim Burton Created the Epic Batman Film in 1989 starring Michael Keaton.



Batman Returns followed in 1993 


and 

Batman Forever starring Val Kilmer released in 1996 with both films earning higher than its predecessors.



Batman and Robin which starred George Clooney effectively killed the franchise in 1998 



Untill Christopher Nolan Revived the Franchise with Batman Begins,The Dark Knight And The Dark Knight Rises.



The Green Lantern film Starring Ryan Reynolds Was a Failure and stalled the intended DC Universe.



However,Zack Synder decided to make another attamept to finally bring the Justice League together by directing Batman vs Superman Dawn Of Justice (Currently Playing in Cinemas All around the world).



The next Movies Lined up are ;


Suicide Squad (2016)





















Wonder Woman (2017)














Justice League Part 1 (2017)











The Flash (2018)


















Aquaman (2018)



















Shazam (2019)


























Justice League part 2 (2019)
















Cyborg (2020)


























Green Lantern Corps (2020)














What a Fanboy Wants;
After Watching Batman v Superman ,i just plead to Warner Brothers and DC Comics,please stop making your superhero films so grim and dark.I know DC Comics needs to be dark as in comparision with Marvel but not humourless and totally grim.I believe Batman v superman has also suffered because of this.

This is your last roll of the Dice DCComics.Please Make it count.

As a fanboy i just want this DC Movie Universe to Suceed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marvel Cinematic Universe















Marvel on the other end tried to enter mainstream films with 

Spider Man in the 70's which was only moderatly sucessfull. 




They tried again with a Captain America Movie in 1990 but failed again. 




Marvel then sold their rights to ;

Sony Pictures 
(Spider Man,Spider man 2/3,
Amazing Spiderman,
Amazing Spider man 2)





The Ang lee Directed 
Hulk 





and 
Ghost Rider




And

Fox Studios 
(Fantastic 4,
Fantastic 4 Rise of Silver Surfer),







X-Men ,X2,X-Men Last Stand,
X-Men Origins Wolverine,
X-Men First Class ,
X-Men Days of Futures Past 









The Movies were sucessfull but Marvel did not have an identity for themselves.

What the Marvel CEO Kevin Feige did next,changed the Entire Landscape for Comic Films in Hollywood.

The Birth Of the Marvel Cinematic universe Started with Robert Downey jr's Iron Man in 2008 directed by Jon Favreu.

Feige had already concocted The Avengers movies earlier by coming up with the intriductory films for the other members of the Avengers in 3 phases,with The movie based on the Avengers coming into each phase.This was Genius,This man planned evrything way ahead of time and so far each phase has been executed brilliantly with the Box office collection outdoing each other day by day.

Feige was also instrumental in bringing Spider Man back to the Marvel Cimeatic Universe.With Spidey back where he belongs,Rest Ensured that The Marvel Cimeatic Universe is going to go places even higher than before.

Lets have a look at the MCU Phases

Phase 1 (Avengers Assembled)


Iron Man (2008)


























Incredible Hulk (2008)

























Iron Man 2 (2010)










Thor (2011)


























Captian America The First Avenger (2011)

























The Avengers (2012).


























Phase 2 


Iron Man 3 (2013)



























Thor The Dark World (2013)


























Captain America Winter Soldier (2014)

























Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

























Avengers Age of Ultron (2015)

























Ant-Man (2015)

























Phase 3


Captain America Civil War (2016)


























Dr Strange (2016)

























Thor Ragnarok (2017)
Guardians of Galaxy vol 2 (2017)
Spider Man (2017)
Black Panther (2018)

Avengers Infinity War Part 1 (2018)

























Ant Man and the Wasp (2018)
Captian Marvel (2019)

Avengers Infinity War part 2 (2019)




















You have a look at the Phases above and tell me that its not genius. Every Single character has his backstory before he appears in a multihero film.Nothing is jumbled up.Marvel are way ahead of their time and have really made use of Disney's backing as well.

What a Fanboy wants;
Continue the good work Mr Feige.
Everything that you have done so far has been super sucessfull.
Please do not change anything.
The Blueprint is perfect and you have made the dream of every Marvel Fan Come through.

Thank you Mr Feige,

Thank You Marvel and Thank You Disney.
