CapAm2 obviously has some core Marvel fans, and the RT critics will be touting it because they're part of that group, :-), but what's the...

broader appeal to non-Marvel fanatics?

The first movie's period piece has been gutted, along with that great romance so Cap's romance-crippled in this one.  Few will care let alone feel it, assuming they're even trying to pair him up with anybody else.  Except maybe Bucky, that'd certainly get some publicity at least. :-)

I've seen this sequel described as a "70s thriller" or some such.  The 70s were boring.  I don't think many are particularly inclined to see a movie like this about it.  Comedies maybe.  Yes, I know it's set in present era, but I thought the "70s thriller" pitch was odd and showed weakness -- that they have precious little to sell here.

The upcoming Amazing Spider-Man villain looks uber-cool.  Cap's is freakin' Bucky Barnes as a wannabe Cap or some such.

It's got Robert Redford, but speaking of the 70s. :-)

The most memorable clip from the ads is a black van getting flipped up in the air.

Maybe a lot will go because it's the big movie next weekend, but I'm just not seeing or sensing any genuinely strong want-to-see here, beyond the usual suspects.

Is the Blended number for the 3-Day or 4-Day since it's Memorial Day? {nm} Jay_Beezy Mar 30, 15:23

or pretty much what a sandler flick does now, and then bottoms out the second week. {nm} thedudeman2222 Mar 30, 19:56

But like I asked, is that 3-Day or 4-Day due to Memorial Day? Jay_Beezy Mar 30, 20:24

In past years, RS predictions for Memorial Day weekend have been 4-day predictions {nm} RogerMore Mar 31, 05:11

there isnt another 4day holiday for awhile, so you shouldnt have to answer this too many more times ;) {nm} islander Mar 31, 07:03

The movie is really good, i think the WOM is going to do some great work {nm} Filmstardust Mar 30, 15:09

Everything seems fairly in line +/- except Spiderman. Under IMHO. Capt may also do more... {nm} PVL Admin Mar 30, 15:34

Well if you go by the IMDB rating you were so big on for Noah then it looks really good 8.3 {nm} Joey Mar 31, 02:04

why is RS even discussed here??they where so wrong on many movies... MatthiasVGer Mar 31, 03:48

B I S T ;-) {nm} karspov Mar 31, 04:02

Because its first. We would have been talking CAPA2 this week anyway and this just triggers it RogerMore Mar 31, 05:10

Action is good and the story isn't bad. A "70s thriller" CAPA2 is not. Where did that come from? {nm} tatoufan Mar 31, 06:23

IIRC the producers took inspiration from 70s conspiracy thrillers (eg The Parallax View, Three Days of the Condor) when developing the plot RogerMore Mar 31, 09:11

Thanks RogeMore. {nm} tatoufan Mar 31, 15:20
