I stopped buying Blu-Ray/DVDs a little while ago. I’ve found that I don’t watch them enough to justify the cost - especially when I have a Netflix account.
For a while I only stuck with movies that were worth it from a visual perspective: Sin City, Sucker Punch, etc - but even then it still wasn’t worth it. Not to mention, I dislike my living space to be cluttered with things I don’t often use. A big part of the reason I switch to buying comics on my iPad instead of physical copies.
Anyway, how many movies until Bucky takes over as Cap?
Finally saw it. The movie was good but a bit overhyped.
Some things I liked
-How much Cap utilized his shield in combat.
-Fight choreography.
-The acting
Some things I didn’t like:
-Falcon evading gunfire from a gun that is designed to shoot down missles (even for a comic book movie its a little silly)
-Little things like people not aiming for Caps legs when he’s blocking gunfire with his shield
-Over the top [unnecessary]Hollywood ending
Depends. They definitely paid homage to the fact that Bucky is a Cap-level person by having him use the shield against Cap. It’ll depend on the timing between Captain America 3 and Avengers 3, which some people are speculating may end up being about the Civil War, not Thanos.
I am like this myself, however the online 3D options are SUPER limited (and I’m one of hte 40 people who truly like watching 3D movies) and it’s honestly what I do when I feel something is worth the money, its my way of ‘voting with my wallet’, same way GotG is a day 1 3D boxed set purchase for me.
The other thing I see more and more, as Marvel is building up these Phases, its going to become a bit harder to see some of the old material - I fully expect the Marvel line-up to start going thru the Disney ‘Vault’. These are some of the few movies I’ll actually watch multiple times…so I’m willing to ‘bend’ and purchase these.
But 90% of the time? I’d rather just redbox it or rent it.
Bought my copy today. Did the $19.96 at Wal-Mart and you get a special sleeve. Only reason I went this route is because I hated the sleeve of the standard pack, and the Target documentary is bound to show up on the interwebz soon enough:
Yeah, I noticed that this is the first release where the DVD wasn’t bundled. Guess this is the first major attempt for Disney to assist in DVDs slow death.
YEah and I’m like for how much the 3D sets cost, they can give me a f#cking DVD too. It cost them virtually nothing in the scheme of things to throw a DVD copy in there and the money lost from people trying to do ‘splitsville’ on a set is a non-factor.
And you completly mis-read me, I didn’t say ‘my copy didn’t come with’, I’m saying there is no option. I googled, I searched, I couldn’t find a boxed set that had everything in it, which is what I always get on the off-chance I actually do buy a movie. I want to watch it in 3D, I want hte bl-ray for my son since kids aren’t supposed to watch 3D, and most folks don’t like 3D anyways, and upstairs we can only watch DVDs, so I need the DVD. It’s been perfect over the past couple of years. This most likely will be the start of a new trend and I’m frankly not happy about it, yet am frustrated because ‘voting with my wallet’ prevents ‘me’ from enjoying what was a great movie.
