Long ago the Russos were mentored by director, Stephen Soderbergh. I'm willing to bet it's tribute to him because he used that style of caption in his movies.

The theater I go to is a single-screen family-run theater. They announced BEFORE THE MOVIE that there was a scene at the start of the credits, and a scene after the credits. People still walked out after the first one.
I figure they just don't want to wait and will search for it on YouTube.

I loved it. Sure there were some weaknesses, but overall the positives greatly outweighed the negatives.
This really seems like Civil War pt 1. I had jury duty on Monday and read Civil War for the first time while waiting (and waiting...). This really seemed to set up Cap's Secret Avengers even with him trying to make some sort of amends with Tony at the end. I'm sure the next Avengers film(s) will be interesting to see if and how the team unites... apparently against Thanos and company.
I thought Spider-Man was way too over-the-top and just stuck out like a sore thumb, I know a lot of folks are extremely excited to see Spidey, but... he was just too much in the scenes he was in. We didn't get anything close to the unmasking that we got in the comics and the his addition didn't really add much, other than the "OMG Spider-Man!"
...speaking of webhead, how does Tony rationalize putting a a high school kid's life on the line like he did by dropping him into this huge fight? I get he's a metahuman, he's already risking life and limb and all that - but, he's still a kid. I kept expecting Cap to mention that to put Stark in his place - missed opportunity.
Someone needed to die. Even though Cap didn't die in the actual Civil War series, he did die as a result of it. I really thought Tony would bite it in this (well, up until Downey started talking Iron Man 4). I expected something bigger and of consequence and it just seemed to be missing.
The airport confrontation needed a bit better of a setup. Seemed a bit too convenient: Team IM is at the airport, let's go to the airport.
Did I miss some Zemo setup in other films? Again, seemed a little too convenient - even as a Sovokia Colonel - to have the knowledge and capabilities he had.
Even with those comments, this was a great, fun ride. Marvel is in such a great position and they're doing just about everything right.
It ticks me off to think we get a great movie like this - and Batman v Superman, with arguably the two biggest comic book characters of all time, is what it was.

i went and saw it last night. i thought it was done very well. i liked it much more then AoU. i left AoU very disappointed. i loved spiderman! i thought he was amazing, though my friends didnt like the hot aunt may, i dont mind it, we are all young once right? lol
one thing i was not aware of... and i may have forgotten. but when tony asks cap if he knew bucky killed his parents and cap said yes. what movie and when do we learn that cap knows bucky killed tony's parents? i can't recall seeing that? and that confused me
now my friends are all hardcore comic fans, and they went into the movie believing it was going to suck, and when we all came out they all hated it because it was nothing like the book. this is were i told them, thats why i enjoyed it so much! you really didnt know what to expect! this is the first real marvel movie that threw me for a loop! i didnt see bucky killing tonys parents until tony said "that road looks familiar". the airport fight i was waiting for someone to dye, praying it wasn't giant antman. ( is he now considered atom man?) and I'm glad no one died
i liked how it only had small bits and pieces of the comic, it left you thinking in the movie, and being surprised. and i seriously enjoyed it.
another thing i thought they did better was introducing all the characters. i find it very hard in comic book movies to have more then 2 super heros, the first avengers touched on it and pushed it to the limit. AoU totally fell on its face, with throwing characters into the scene for a matter of seconds then for them to only be forgotten and not show up again.. along with throwing in scenes that dont make any scene at all without explaining what the hell we are looking at.. (infinity well for example)
civil war introduce the characters flawlessly, falcons friends coming back, hawkeyes return and antman.. wonderful. i will probably buy this on bluray just to watch the airport scene again.
movie got 2 thumbs up from me

I've heard of comic fans comic fans complaining that it wasn't like the books before and I can only say that comes across more like comic-geek-elitism to me.
I, too, read comics and having read all of Civil War I had enough common sense to understand in advance that the story in no way can fit into a single movie - not by a long shot. And I'm enough of a movie fan to have kept up with the news and statements from the Russos that the film is not going to be a direct translation of the comic story just as Age of Ultron deviates from the Ultron story from the Avengers comics. Any comic fan who expresses surprise that it's not exactly like the comic and who fails to appreciate aspects that would make a true comic geek thrilled (e.g. the action, the framing that recognizes aspects such as splash page panels of team battles, etc.) is just an elitist chowder-head in my book. A true comic fan isn't about getting stuff literally translated; a true fan is about getting the spirit, characterizations and comic relationships right. A true fan can only love this film. You deserve better friends.

was there 2 hidden scenes at the end of the movie? i watched a youtube video just now and it said in the credit scene it showed spiderman's logo projecting belt buckle?!? the only scene i saw was them putting bucky back to sleep, please tell me there wasn't another scene and that i missed it
What you saw is what's known as the "mid-credits" scene. At the end of each Marvel film (with rare exceptions) there is both a mid-credit scene and a post-credits scene which happens at the end of the credits. In this case the post-credits scene was the Spider-Man bit. If you didn't know about that you'll need to go back over every movie to see them. The post-credits scene from The Avengers features them all in a wrecked restaurant eating schwarma, for example. Age of Ultron is a rare exception that has no post-credits scene.
aaah... yeah i knew couple movies had 2 scenes in the credits. i should have googled and checked before i left. but like you said i waited and waited in AoU and got nothing lol

Lol bit defensive much? Try decaf dude. You got ALL that from a face palm emoji? The emoji was referencing your thinking that the conflict was forced considering you obviously didnt get the theme of the movie, which was: choice. And in all honesty, I didnt want to get into an argument with you because, not only are your responses a little crazy, but you kind of flipped out over an emoji. "Busy not being a virgin"? That was very "bro" of you man. And dont pretend like you know me. Do you realize that youre posting on a replica prop forum and you bust out the bro insults?! :lol I dont think youre capable of an intelligent argument based upon what you said in not only this thread, but others. Hell, what you said after that emoji was unhinged.

You also missed a creepy interaction with Aunt May. At least my friends and I, and also everyone else I know that has seen it agreed. Spider signal, cool. Sultry Aunt May, bad.

As discussed above, in The Winter Soldier Arnim Zola is showing Cap a brief history of Hydra's infiltration of SHIELD. In the footage he mentions that when events did not go as planned Hydra swayed them back in their favor, showing newspaper clippings of "accidents" like Howard Stark's car crash and flashing a photo of the Winter Soldier.

I'm going again tonight!
If there was ONE thing I'd change it would be zemo. He should have just been some random guy. Connecting him to the comic character is kinda pointless when he really isn't like that. Unless this was his story of BECOMING baron zemo.
But I think the point of him would have been stronger is he was just joe public

this is in the movie or in the end credits? I honestly don't remember seeing this. I'm going to watch winter solider again tonight. I probably saw it but just forgot.
thank you for explaining

I posted a pic in this thread earlier of a frame from TWS. It's in the movie itself, not the credits. It's when Cap and Romanoff enter the old SHIELD base inside the camp where Steve was trained. It happens just before the base is blown up.

BvS was a film that went back and forth a lot. It was an okay movie, it wasn't too terrible. But the narrative is what gets people confused, plus some unnecessary things such as:
- killing Superman only to reveal him to be alive 10 minutes later in the film
- Lois Lane throwing the spear into the water only to come back and get it three minutes later
- Papa Kent showing up a la Kal-El with no explanation whatsoever
I can't watch it for the third time, because it just got worse for me for the second viewing.

But enough of BvS, I saw Civil War again today and it gets better each time you watch it, because you get to understand it all more. It's some really solid writing, at first I thought Zemo was a weak villain but having seen it for the third time, you get to process how intellectual and strategic this guy really is.
