Marvel Reviews - Captain America Movies

So...late last year i watched my first Marvel movie, "Captain America, The First Avenger" and was hooked! Before that i had never watched super hero movies but Captain America sounded pretty cool and i really enjoyed watching it. They (Marvel) are the kind of movies that you cant just watch one of so since then i've watched plenty more! My next few posts will just be rambling review sorta things about the Marvel movies i have watched. Enjoy!

P.S. I am trying not to give any spoilers so they may seem really boring but watch these movies and you will love them!

Captain America The First Avenger

I really loved this, especially because of the WWII setting. I really like watching  war movies because the seem so real and i now like superhero movies and this was a nice mixture. It had a cool story line and i don't want to give anything away, so i'll just say it was a great movie!

Captain America The Winter Soldier

Agh, I love this movie so much!! It is really interesting seeing Cap adjust to life 70 years later (he is technically 95 but seems 30!!) There is a great plot tying up the story from the first movie and it introduces some cool new characters.










Captain America Civil War



Again, a great movie! So for this i can probably tell a bit about the story without giving away too much:
Basically the Winter Soldier is a wanted man and Ironman realises that he needs to be held back because his actions are turning the UN against the Avengers.Of course though, Cap stands by his friend and wants to save Bucky. There is someone/something behind all the chaos but if you want to find out more, go watch the movie! I really liked how the film-makers managed to bring in lots of characters but not make it to crazy and still have the feeling of a Captain America movie, not an Avengers movie.

Spiderman was great!!













Thankyou for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed it!
Next up, The Amazing Spider 1 and 2!

Anzac Day Post

I always feel happy outside but sad inside at this time of year. When i was little i just thought it was cool to see the parade with all the soldiers, i never thought about other soldiers who were once fighting.What i love about the parade is everyone joins together to celebrate the lives of these special people. I will be in the parade this year, with our Cadets and Calvinettes club. It will be a small parade but a nice service hopefully!  Daisy from Violets and Daisys posted a lovely poem (not her own) about the meaning of the 'Poppy'...

"I am not a badge of honour,
I am not a racist smear,
I am not a fashion statement,
To be worn but once a year,
I am not glorification
Of conflict or of war.
I am not a paper ornament
A token,
I am more.

I am a loving memory,
Of a father or a son,
A permanent reminder
Of each and every one.

I'm paper or enamel
I'm old or shining new,
I'm a way of saying thank you,
To every one of you.

I am a simple poppy
A Reminder to you all,
That courage faith and honour,
Will stand where heroes fall."
