Captain America and Elrond Too

You can never go wrong with a superhero movie, except when you go wrong with a superhero movie.  Until Jon Favreau convinced me a man could fly in an iron suit I had little hope that anyone in the film-making industry would take the superhero genre seriously.  I enjoyed the first "Fantastic Four" movie but not everyone else did.  "Iron Man" was the first universally hailed film from superheroland.

This year's highly disappointing "Batman vs. Superman" movie left me wondering if we had not seen the best that Hollywood could produce in the superhero genre.  But "Captain America: Civil War" has restored my faith in the Marvel Studios, Disney, and superhero movie makers.  The DC universe is simply cursed with really bad choices for directors and screen writers (much like Star Wars cannot shake Lawrence Kasdan from its shoe).
