I would be surprised if this turned out to be the worst film with Jesse Eisenberg in it this year…

They missed a trick by not having a special holding facility for Wanda - as she's both in diplomatic limbo and is also by far the most powerful of Team Cap - so Cap isn't able to bust her out along with the others. Then have a post-credits scene where Strange gets her out… or is magically communing with her in some…

Isn't that the point of the film though? Both sides start off with reasonable positions and then end up making incredibly poor decisions on that basis. Plus its clear that by the end of the fight that Tony knows that's done something incredibly dumb dragging Peter into this.

Parliamentarians. Our civil war had much cooler wigs.

Again, Black Panther is the one who gets that. Zemo's obviously meant to be a nasty piece of work pre-Aou, but we're supposed to be wrong-footed by how focused he is. He's not a sadist or a megalomaniac. He's got a certain set of goals and is willing to do anything to achieve them, but he's not going to step outside…

Also, while Cap and Tony are busy self-destructing elsewhere, Black Panther is the one who's able to step back and take the path of wisdom instead. (This initially looks like the Vision's role, until he messes up spectacularly at the airport.)

One thing I really liked was the explanation of how Spider-Man gets such an impressive-looking suit, which always bothered me in the Raimi films. (It didn't bother me so much in the post-Raimi ones because they had much more serious problems, nor in the 1970s TV Movies because… well, have you *seen* the suit from…

The wrong-footing over the Hydra super-soldiers does really work though, and on two levels: first, it means the big action climax is a proper outgrowth of the drama rather than the teaming up to fight a bigger (and anonymous) threat that was being telegraphed.

This is in all seriousness not a bad idea. Licence Marvel, let them do the legwork in an area where they've got a proven track record of being better than you, and you still rake in profits from licensing and merchandising. True, it would be a nightmare to negotiate but it has a precedent: in the 1980s, DC even…

There were more westerns released in the last year than superhero movies. In fact there's never been a year when westerns haven't outnumbered superhero movies.

Not immediately after a major Marvel movie had opened to disastrous reviews and lacklustre box office, leaving a general odour of a doomed enterprise behind it.

More importantly, how did DM manage to get a driving licence despite only having one eye?

I think 'Allo 'Allo! was helped by the fact that there'd already been a lot of TV drama that presented the German characters as a more diverse and nuanced bunch than monolithic caricatures of evil as in an earlier generation of portrayals.

'Allo 'Allo! at its peak was magnificent farce, and is probably the most convolutedly-plotted sitcom of all time (to the extent that Gordon Kaye's character spends almost the entire run posing as his own identical twin brother - the "original" Rene having "executed" by a faked firing squad very early on in the show's…

Is it too late to go back to the Gaiman/del Toro script?

At least in this instance the studio seems to have had some idea that they had a turkey on their hands, and tried - albeit cluelessly - to correct it. If behind-the-scenes accounts are to believed, Warner Bros. executives were giving BvS standing ovations and couldn't believe the reviews when they started to roll in.

It's not just Hollywood I've lost track of the number of novels I've seen where the cover is a picture of women's feet (Exhibit A: The Time Traveler's Wife).

No mention of Joan Hickson's definitive Miss Marple?

No, it's not. The bar they had to clear with Ant-Man was extremely low, i.e. taking this character no one is really invested in, tainted by a certain among of post-Wright-defenestration ill-will among the potential audience, and making a reasonably entertaining film from it.

But Ant-Man is exactly one of those second-string characters I mentioned in my post, and expectations weren't particularly high after Edgar Wright jumped/was pushed.
