Boy this fucking sucked. Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible FX. It truly felt like watching something on the CW. Pick any random episode of the Arrowverse and you'll have comparable production quality. Christ I hope Thunderbolts and F4 are miles beyond this movie.

Thunderbolts will be fine.

F4 will be on a scale we haven't seen in a while.  It's directed by a guy who produced and directed WandaVision and has directed episodes of The Great, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Fargo and Game of Thrones.   

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - that's all I have to say.

It will. Our theater on Sunday when I went with my kids was pretty sparse. 

One thing that annoyed me much more on the rewatch, the Netflix type need to restate the story multiple times via newscasts. Supposedly, Netflix and other streamers are committing to making content that constantly repeats the plot points throughout a show or movie since the Tik Tok generation is on their phones and not paying attention. This felt a lot like that but more because you can't just drop right into this one and not know who is doing what, who is this character now, and why things are happening.

For example, the weird newcast that talked about Ross's issues from the carnage and destruction of Harlem that happened back in Incredible Hulk. Never mind he was the Secretary of Defense for most of the period after Winter Soldier and he was somehow able to attain that position with the same controversy. Just seemed like a weird ham-handed way to link back to the first movie to get the viewer to remember Samuel Sterns. Later, there's another dumb newcast that tells you President Ross is heading to Tokyo to work on keeping the peace plan going...the thing they just talked about in the last scene. I was amazed that Spectrum News had such a crack team that knew everything the President was doing at any given moment. 

Other issues I noticed. Sam goes to the Raft to see Ross wearing a sling. He is then shown at the end talking to the Leader with no sling. Ruth must've had a bigger part because in one scene she's wearing armor that looks like the Wasp. Next scene, she's not wearing the armor. It's obvious the Bucky part was tacked on and this was supposed to be after Thunderbolts. Seems weird to bring him back as the guy running for Congress when you realize in the trailer for Thunderbolts, he's sitting in on that Congressional meeting. I thought I saw that Thunderbolts was supposed to come out first and then Cap 4.

I wouldn't worry about it. F4 movies are usually awesome.

Saw it the other day. It was a pretty trash movie but I was entertained enough by it.

Same here...it was a fun watch. Nothing great or anything

I get bored with super hero fights because there is no tension.  Everyone is invincible.  My kids had a good time though.  
 

one thing stuck out to me.  “The president wants Bob and I to come to the White House” or something. Poor grammar made it through that many folks working on it?  It’s not like it was intentional because that’s part of Cap’s character or something.

I’m curious where all that money goes. Seems like a ludicrous amount for a movie that is largely made on green screen and a laptop. 

If you sit through the credits you’d understand.  Evidently the only people that didn’t work on this movie were you and me.

Bingo.
