It looks like the suit is MEANT to look like, from the comics. Also, I loved the motion of the eyes!

 

I was worried we'd get the "Iron Spider" suit that Stark designed in the comic... That thing looked bloody stupid. :s

The eyes really did it for me! 

Spoiler

Supposedly we might see the Iron Spider suit. Word is that Stark might present Spiderman with it during the movie. I didn't read that much into it, because I do not  want to spoil the movie for myself, but I have heard of this rumor more than once.

Iron Spider is in the "Ultimate Spider-Man vs the Sinister 6" animated series -- as well as appeared in a few episodes of the previous seasons -- but I think the costume for IS is stupid for the simple fact spiders have 8 legs, not 7.

It was used in Civil War, too.

I haven't read comics in years, so I wouldn't know that.  I may pick up the occasional graphic novel to read from the library, but the ones I read are not Marvel or DC, although sometimes they may be published from either company but don't fall into their respective superhero universes.

Saw it last night. Very good film. Reviews are spot on. Probably the best Marvel film.

 

Black Panther and Spider Man did steal the show for me. 

 

There are also 2 end credit scenes. 

 

Spoiler

The Mid Credits shows Bucky (now with 1 arm) getting frozen again at Black Panthers home. It seems to tease his solo film..

 

The very end one shows Spider Man coming home after the battle and figures out Tony S has added technology to use web slingers.

I can't understand that why did the heroes fight with each other instead of fight with a common enemy.,.,,but anyways I'm waiting for this movie.,.,.,.:D:D

Ok In the comics it goes like this, a bunch of young superheroes, on fighting each other, blow up an entire suburb and a school.

People get afraid and the US passes a bill which requires all masked heroes to reveal their identity , register and work as government servants.

Iron man side agrees, Captain America side doesn't. So war erupts.

In the movie, I think the UN gets attacked and this sparks the need for registration.

Basically, forced indenture or imprisonment, just because you're different. Superhero race wars.

Not so much race, but because in many cases the "heroes" have the power to level a city, and come on, in almost all of the movies so far, be it marvel or DC, some city is always getting wasted, so you figure some one has to stop this or try to control it.   I've lost count of the times NYC has been messed up in marvel movies, it's almost gotten as bad as Tokyo getting trashed by Godzilla over and over.

Quick question, planning to go and see the film in the next two weeks...are there any films in the Marvel Universe that I should make sure that I've seen, apart from the two CA films.

Eh.. my view on it is, should a superhero be held accountable for their actions? Yes.

 

Should they be forced to register their true identities, therefore putting themselves and their loved ones at unnecessary risk? Hell no!

 

Should they be forced to work for the government just because they have power? No!!  Should they be imprisoned if they refuse? Again, hell no!!

 

Better way:  Have a superhero registry  ONLY for those who want to use their gifts against crime, and just record their hero identity and abilities.  Deputise said registered heroes so they have the legal authority to act and have them subject to the same restrictions as cops.  The rest, it's the same as any other civvie in the real world.  Self defence or assault laws cover things there.

Yeah, well, you're taking more of a real world view on it, saying that, I doubt they'd ever deputize superheroes, in the end you're still working for the government in that sense.  Besides, if they had the same restrictions as cops, we'd be in for a pretty boring superhero movie.  :p

I think the original IronMan is a must.  AntMan also.

I blame having played the City of Heroes MMO for its entire lifetime. :p  There, if you were a registered hero, you were protected, but if you weren't, you were a rogue and could be busted...

You haven't seen any of them!?!

 

You could probably enjoy it with absolutely no knowledge of any of the movies but there are subtle links to pretty much all of them. My daughter has recently got into superhero movies so I used that as an excuse to go back and watch all of them (or at least all but Ant Man) before going to see this last night. I'll be watching Ant Man soon with her and then I'll go back with her to see it.

Not to the same level of "Guardians Of The Galaxy", but in a similar way - it was a lesser known but funny and enjoyable film.  Some very fun touches during the climactic fight scene.

I'm yet to see Winter Soldier and Ant Man. probably something that I shouldn't admit on this topic ;)

 

Will see them before I see the film

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
