Some cunning use of reverse filming, tilted camera, etc.

The first three of Christopher Reeve's Superman movies were excellent (for the time). The ingenious "zoptic process" gave us some pretty good flying effects.
Ironically, though, much of the spectacle in the Superman movies was achieved by going small. Derek Meddings, who honed his model-building skills on Thunderbirds and many of the Bond movies, did some incredible work on Superman and its sequels. (Anyone who wants to see some super (heh!) craftsmanship need only click here!)

I've only seen the trailers so far. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) is looking hot (!) and it's nice to see her on Cap's side. I'm compelled to ask: does she do battle against her female counterpart, the equally hot Black Widow?

Er ist wieder da!
Quite funny.

Wer. Nicely effective little horror film.

Its funny you should ask Mike, but yes, when they fall in the mud pit the two of them have to wrestle in their underwear until they both collapse, exhausted, after their exertion. At least I think that was in the film...

How could you not mention the make-up sex scene that came after ? Were you asleep ?

How 'bout when Harry Porter flew in on a broom, and Captain America cock-punched him into oblivion? That was awesome!
My favorite part was where Micheal Moore revealed that Captain America had killed JFK, and Captain America had to fly to his ice cave in the arctic for a while until that storm blew over.

I'll be sure to take along some paper towels when I go to watch this movie!

using that line tomorrow.

Last night Iron Sky.

Not bad, but not brilliant.

Isn't the sequel of that one about to come out? Very much looking forward to that one. It apparently has Hitler riding a TRex.

Also, Deadpool was fun.

No idea.

Well time to keep your eyes peeled then. Hitler on a TRex... Just sayin'. The TRex's name is Blondie.

Its either genius, or all the best bits are in the trailer.

The night before our wedding, my wife-to-be and I watched "Deadpool" because we are hopeless romantics. Later that week, we went and saw "Zootopia". I love being married to someone who enjoys that kind of combo.

Now you don't need to watch it.

I needed to watch it before?

Looks like it should be awesome!

spectacular sets and battles - learned a bit of Dutch history ...plot is hard to follow

Zoolander 2. It was so unfunny it was funny. That's not to say it was all bad. Cumberbatch was amazing. Neil Tyson, not so much. It would've been a lot better without Ben Stiller. He was the weakest link in his own movie.
