It’s getting difficult to tell the Marvel movies apart. The fight scenes on a departing aircraft blur together. The reversals of friend and foe refract like an infinity mirror. The characters are spread across so many movies that you’d need a detective’s cork board to keep it straight.

As much as i liked some of the Marvel movies, agree they are getting a bit samey.

Haven't seen it so can't say nothing....

But my idea of the Marvel movies are that, they are not a stand alone movie... they are just a chapter of the larger story Marvel studios are telling (unfortunately, this does not apply to Spiderman, X-men and Fantastic Four at the moment)

So...the "infinity mirroring" and the spreading across characters can be justify because of "continuity" and positioning every of those movie events in the same universe.

I´ve seen a midnight premiere yesterday and yeah, it´s not "the greatest movie" ever. but it´s an enjoyable, fresh comic book movie that utilizes a lot from the 70s spy thrillers, Ed Brubakers outstanding Captain America run and a good bit Secret Warriors to combine it to a comic book movie we have not yet seen and feels very different from the other superhero adventures and is it really getting too complicated to know what´s going on in what movie? with less than 10 movies out? if you can follow a 26 episode TV series then, by god, I think a few movies shouldn´t split your skull in half ;)

it definitely managed to feel different from the first installment without losing the charm.
