April kicks off in a big way with Disney's and Marvel's Captain
America: The Winter Soldier will you fight with or against this movie this weekend? Maybe the PROS & CONS will sway you.
PROS:
- Marvel's continued success before and after The Avengers has
significantly expanded the appeal of their films into the general audience.
- Fandango reports that pre-sales are out-pacing those of Thor: The
Dark World.
- With a less competitive market outside summer or the holiday
season, Winter Soldier is well-positioned as an event film.
- The first Captain America, as with most of Marvel's movies so
far, was well-received.
- Critics' reviews and early fan word of mouth are resoundingly
positive.
- Facebook, Flixster, and Twitter are all yielding encouraging buzz
metrics.
CONS:
- Some fans were disappointed in Iron Man 3, while Thor: The Dark
World was even more divisive. Will that be a factor for this shared-universe
sequel?
- Regardless of anything else, Captain America hasn't yet
established himself as a "must see" character. That could change with
this sequel, though.
