how many MCU have you seen at the cinema now?


this was my 7th. as a general rule I don't go to the cinema to see MCU movies very often (unlike DC and Xmen which I always make a point of seeing). so far have seen -

Iron Man 1 (as id been reading about it for years in film magazines when Tom Cruise was going to be Tony Stark. don't think knew it would lead to Avengers or anything back then . don't think anyone did really. didnt stay for post credits sting as don't think even knew about it. when did find out via imdb/utube had vague recollections of Avengers comics and SLJ being the basis of the new Fury in comics years ago so kind of knew about Avengers but not much. overall was an ok/fun movie and the end felt bit like Transformers the previous year. but really it felt abit like a 'tide over' film before the big comicbook dawg that summer - TDK)

Hulk (as always been a really big fan of the Bixby show as a kid and this was like a big budget modern reboot of that more so than 2003. plus bit of a Norton fan due to Fight Club and the banner role wasn't dissimilar to that. was ok better than Ang Lees anyway. don't think realised it was anything much to do with Iron Man or an MCU until the end with Stark which felt like it was heading to 'Avengers' or would it just come to nothing..)

Capt America (as it looked like a fun WW2 action movie like Raiders and was directed by The Rocketeer guy. was ok nothing special. bit like IM1 really.)

Guardians of the Galaxy (as it looked fun Star Warsy film before there was any new SW with a cool premise of a kid abducted by aliens in the 80s and gets to live his life in a Star Warsy universe. didn't like it much at all the humour etc meh not for me.)

Civil War (as everyone was raving about how awesome it was/instant classic esp in comparison to the similarly themed BvS which everyone said was dire. but mainly saw it as seemed like a cool 'VS' movie and that possibly IM or Cap would die at the end. plus it was the chance to see an Avengers movie (in everything but name) which I hadn't yet seen on big screen, as well as a new Spiderman after having skipped both the 'Amazing' movies. but was meh about it. much preferred BvS which I think got vilified in part due to coming out the same time almost as Civil War and critics tore it a new ahole for that. but yes could understand CW was obviously an amazing film for MCU fans )

Thor Ragnarok (as it looked a fun 80s sword/sorcery type film that they made back then but with todays FX. was kind of fun actually. it was abit like a big budget sword/sorcery 80s movie)

Infinity War (as its the big one everything building toward this with all of them together vs Thanos and there was obviously going to be some deaths at the end and just wanted to see it before I eventually got spoiled on forums/social media if I waited for dvd. and yes it was impressive and shocking esp the ending despite not being much a fan of MCU. this the best one by far for me)

so yeah pretty random there. tbh some of them were just a case of being out that day and fancied seeing a movie and was like ok MCU will do (Guardians, Civil War) could've quite easily not seen them as happened with rest. a couple I had planned to see but just didn't get around to (e.g. came close to seeing Avengers 2012 as it was such an event movie and had Hulk in it, and was about to go out to see it one afternoon, but in the end decided I couldn't be arsed and never got around to it again (didn't want that to happen with A:IW so made sure I saw it) also Dr Strange as although wasnt that familiar with the character beyond just knowing of him as a kid I liked all the Inception/Batman Begins stuff in the trailer and am fascinated by alternate realities/universes and kind of dig Cumberbatch, but again when the time came I didn't get around to it. thought both were just ok nothing more when saw on dvd.) all the rest I just seen on dvd (either rented when you could still rent dvds, but now just buy way cheap. I even got some of the ones I seen at the cinema when saw them cheap) except Antman (guess will check that out when cheap enough) and Black Panther of course. watching some of them on dvd was very thankful didn't bother with at the cinema (Thor 1/2, IM2/3, Ultron,).

Every single one, and most on their Thursday opening night. The other day I tried to create my own Infinity Gauntlet using the ticket stubs from the shows, but I couldn't find them all. Once I do, Imma *snap* the imdb board back into existence.

All of them.

reply

All of them, as well as all of the DC films and all of the X-Men films

reply

Um....Jesus, I don't think i've seen any of them in the theater. Ha. Weird.

reply

All of them. Each one has been added to my Blu Ray collection.

I've also seen each DC movie in theaters.

I've actually seen all 19...

and amazingly its because at the time, all 19 looked good to me...

usually if you see All films in a series its because your a fan and will see them no matter what....but With The 19 MCU films, I've seen all 19 Because They actually sold me on each individual movie

and I enjoyed 16 of of the 19....

I left the theaters extremely disappointed after Age Of Ultron and IM3....

and enjoyed Thor 2 but have since come to not enjoy it very much...

The other 16 MCU films...I either like or love and very much enjoyed seeing them in Theaters...

Worth noting ....I remember Specifically, When Kevin Fiege was talking about doing a GOTG movie...I truly had zero interest and remember thinking Well thats one MCU film I'll never see, I just had zero interest in a GOTG movie...even once casting happened and production pictures got out, still couldnt care less...

Then The trailer hit, and It instantly look great to me...

Bottom Line, They 100% sold me and hooked me on a film I had zero interest in and would have bet money I would not only not have seen in theaters but wouldnt even have watch on TV....

GOTG ended being My 4th favorite MCU film....

Also wasnt a fan of Benedict Cumberpatch and didnt have much interest in Doctor Strange due to his casting....but once again Excellent trailers and Great WOM got me excited, I saw it in theaters, he blew me away in the role, and Loved the movie, I've since become a Cumberpatch fan....Hes astonish great in The Sherlock series...

I saw every MCU movie at the theater, except for Iron Man 3 and Thor: Dark World. Those I caught via Red Box. I always try to go during the opening weekend when a new one comes out. It's so much more exciting to see these movies fresh and share that excitement with an audience.

I've seen all of the MCU films at the theater except for the second Thor movie ("The Dark World"), and I blame that on the crappy "Iron Man 3" that preceded it. I like "The Dark World" and wish that I had seen it on the big screen.

I don't watch the Sony or Fox "Marvel" movies at the theater, but I'll make an exception for "Deadpool 2" and will see it at the theater.
