A24 4,326 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I thought his action scenes, especially the choreography, was quite splendid. And Robert Redford portraying a corporate villain was kinda impressive. Never saw villains that underplayed in a Marvel movie before. I wonder if the next one will have the same effect on me.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,266 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 The Russo Brothers - PRIOR to directing Winter Soldier - had directed "Welcome To Colinwood", "You Me And Dupree", and episodes of Arrested Development, Carpoolers, Community, Todd Margaret, Happy Endings, and Up All Night.The Russo Brothers - AFTER directing Winter Soldier - locked in to direct Civil War (2016), Avengers 3 (2018), and Avengers 4 (2019) -- AND a Ghostbusters spinoff (2017?) too!Amazing career resurgence! They're gonna be mega millionaires for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,637 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The Russo brothers have primarily been comedy directors (their previous movie was "You, Me, and Dupree" with Owen Wilson, and they rose to more fame since then as directors of single-camera sitcoms like Arrested Development and Community. But they really know their way around a fight sequence. I think Winter Solider is my favorite Marvel movie overall as far as fight scenes go.I'm sure the direction on Civil War will be quite capable. My worry is the character overload, since it will apparently feature a greater number of significant characters than even Avengers 2 (if cast list and additional reports of castmember sightings are to be believed, basically all of the first-run Avengers except for Thor, plus all of the "new Avengers," plus Ant Man, plus Black Panther, plus villains, plus various side characters). Avengers 2 was already too busy for my taste.That's what I get for taking so long to post. Beaten by Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Winter Solider is my favorite Marvel movie overall as far as fight scenes go.Yes, Winter Soldier, especially when it concerns fighting scenes. My favorite new Marvels are Winter Soldier and Guardians Of The Galaxy. I still have to rewatch Winter Soldier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of my favourite films that year.Quick google search of Jagten intrigues me about the film. Sounds a bit like Doubt, another well-crafted piece.
