Here I was, idly thinking "is it just me, or has this latest Marvel Captain America movie really not had much build up and media attention - are people getting less excited about these multi superhero movies, which increasingly all look the same?"; and then I decided to check the box office numbers.
Worldwide gross of $765 million, in about a week?? Gee. (It has had generally good reviews too, so it might not burn out as fast that [Bat V Super] x man critical failure.)
Marvel fanboys and fangirls obviously still care - as so do some reviewers - for a genre I don't (much).
Hollywood is just milking the cow until it is desiccated. Fortunately SBS On Demand has a range of other culture movies that provide a much needed relief from the same old tropes of the West.
