Okay, so I've been waiting to see Captain America 3 since it was announced a couple of years ago. I'm a single guy, so I found myself in a situation in having to find someone to watch the movie with me. After all, I've never been one to do movies solo. So, I decided to call a few people to see if they were available.
I called and asked one lady if she was interested and she told me "no." She wasn't into comic book movies. I appreciated her honesty. I don't know if she's ever given the Marvel movies a try or not, but I guess she knows her limits.
I texted another young lady and she was busy attending a Beyonce concert in Houston and wasn't able to go. Beyonce is a ticket just as hot as Captain America around these parts.
So, the 3rd time's the charm, right? Yeah. that's what I hoped. Worst. Movie. Experience. Ever.
Never see a Marvel movie with a non-fan. Just don't do it. I asked her if she'd ever seen any of the other Captain America movies and she said "no." I should have hit the eject button at that point. When people don't understand the backstory to characters and the concept of super powers, then it can get very annoying in the theater.
"How can the red head survive these fights without super powers?"
"Does Captain America's shield give him powers?"
"Why is Spider-Man a boy? Wasn't he grown in the last movie?"
"Jeremy Renner doesn't do anything except shoot arrows?"
Well, that one is a legitimate question.
Anyhoo, the questions became so much for me to handle that I simply asked her to take mental notes and I'd answer the questions after the movie. That was also a waste of time.
Needless to say, she thought that it was the worst movie she'd ever seen. I thought that it was an awesome movie.
Memo to self: when you see X-Men this weekend, take someone who has seen and enjoys Marvel movies.
