Dude it has a 90%. There's only like a handful of people, if that, calling it mediocre
Which spoiler OT would that be?
You can try to justify your God awful, pathetically hypocritical taste in movies however you want, it'll still read like nothing but salt. That's what happens when you lack the ability to recognize you're more invested in childish allegiances than actual quality.
I'm not entirely sure that's how Rotten Tomatoes works, dude.

I'm very curious to check neogaf tomorrow and see what everyone thinks, could be really divisive which always makes fun discussions
Or maybe I'll be in the minority and most will love itThanks!

"Dude it has a 7.4 average score on Rottentomatoes. There's only like a handful of people, if that, calling it mediocre"
better?
Ironically you're the one who gets how it works.
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your point, but it was my understanding that a lot of reviews that deem a movie to be of only average quality are often counted as positive reviews by Rotten Tomatoes and are thus counted as "fresh" as opposed to "rotten". For example, a movie review that would give the movie only three stars out of a possible five would still be used as an example of a fresh review. As such those reviews that might come to feel the movie is mediocre, or average in quality, would be counted within the 90% of "positive" reviews.
At this point you would think it's a mandate by Marvel to make the villain as mediocre as possible, because in all the MCU there has been a total of one compelling villain and it was in the very first movie. Loki doesn't really count, since aside from The Avengers he was more of a sidekick than a main villain and in The Avengers he was miserable as villain.
Cap 2 remains the best Marvel film.

My experience is that it tends to skew the other way. A genuinely middle-of-the road review, such as a 2.5/5 or a 5/10 will more often than not be counted as rotten. Most critics upload their reviews themselves, and choose whether to have them counted as fresh or rotten. If the consensus was that most folks genuinely thought it's "mediocre" enough for it to not be worth watching, it wouldn't have a 90%, or a 7.4.
Loki was the main villain in the first Thor.
huh
The Abomination wasn't good.
Edit: I thought Hulk was first.
Iron Man 1's villain was terrible too.

I wanted to say Loki but you edited your post....
The Netflix and TV series have a lot of good villains too but i am fine with it not counting.
I guess winter soldier won't count for you too err? I think Justin Hammer , Alexander Pierce and Zemo are great too.

Same, especially after watching Civil War, Winter Soldier and Avengers 2 recently
Loki was great in Avenger! Most people remember him from that movie, not Thor.
All the cap movies have good villains as well

Talk about salt... Tell me how you really feel, guek.
Yea I forgot. I can't even remember the name of the villain in IM1 other than that it was played Bridges.
Marvel really needs to do a better job on this front.

The villain in Avengers 2 (can't remember the name) was laughable.

I don't disagree, but his name is in the title of the movie, my dude.

I'll catch it on cable I guess.
You say that but dude you always come into MCU threads to stir shit.
I did. You're a joke.

I mean, dude... Let's be real. You always come across as one of the single most-fanboyish posters in any of these threads.
Age of somebody
Frankly, one of Redford's better performances in a long time. And a creepy inverse of his more famous idealist hero roles.
Zemo was okay-ish, I liked how his plan was this very personal thing and he didn't want to destroy the world or something. That said, his plan was way too convoluted and too focused on stuff you can't really predict to consider him a great villain.
How the hell was Zemo supposed to guess that Tony Stark would figure out Captain America was set up, follow him to the secret Soviet faculty and be prepared to forgive him so that Zemo could set the 'show Stark that Bucky killed his parents' part of his plan in motion?
I'm surprised you guys are even mentioning Robert Redford as a good villain.
Yeah, I don't know, maybe if I rewatch Iron Man, I won't like Bridges' character, but I just remember enjoying him as a villain, which is more than I can say for the other Marvel main villains.
Adaline?
To be fair, I'm counting Steve and Tony as villains in Cap 3 as well
What was wrong with Redford?
Zemo leaves the body in the hotel room bathroom & then calls the front desk and asks for his regular breakfast to be delivered.

Maybe Age of Saline. Sure gets the salt flowing both ways.

Same average rating as Civil War so far? Whats the problemo? Another "90%"-er A-grade Marvel movie shouldnt get this sort of thread unless people with agendas and biases are taking over!
Gonna see in the 3D, but I wont spend money on it. Made that mistake with the first one

Only Marvel movie I've never finished! Turned it off and went to bed halfway through.
Rotten Tomatoes scores tend to move closer to the mean over time
eg Civil War's scores were much higher than where they ended up, you can expect the same for this movie
He's one of the most annoying fanboy posters next to the two or three other smucks, forgot their name. They always whine and bitch about films they don't enjoy as if their opinions are revolutionary insights that people fail to understand. Always stirring shit up but the delicious taste of their salt is just too fun to not enjoy.
Anyways, I'm not surprised about the reactions. The second trailer didn't pull me in and it felt more of the same from the first which may be a good thing or bad. Some of the jokes in the trailer did feel off and flat. But I'm still excited to watch it.
I am a fan of all films and it's a shame that people here just likes to go around and shit on other people's enjoyment.
