so watched it again, and yeah its better than the cap movies. It's marvels The Dark Knight when you think about it. They both excel in creating an amazing contained world. Both have quotable villains that stole the movie. both are genre movies that just happen to have superheroes in it (TDK being inspired by movies like Heat and BP by James Bond. There's a LOT of James Bond in BP.) and both touch upon current political topics ( TDK with overreach in spying, BP with isolationism). took over 10 yrs but we finally got a superhero movie to rival TDK and improve on it in some ways.
Thats not even bringing up the cultural influence of BP. Years from now, there might be a black president who took his wife to BP on their first date, like Barrack took Michelle to Do The right Thing.
Also, maybe Chadwick should be James Bond, not Idris.
