But then 1) not a SW fan and 2) I'd seen several 'live steel' performances that outright admitted that they really had maybe half a dozen Standard Moves, but somehow managed to be more exciting - and I'm not 'action' fan overall, really. I suppose it unfair to call I-II-III SW as such. But I once did wonder: If you edited out all the fight/battle scenes from SWIII and all the songs from <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>, which would be the shorter picture?<br /><br />That said, my word is he ever full of it.

When I saw it (a friend of my wife's brought it over on Blu-Ray), I found the banter with Nick Fury to be the most interesting parts of the movie, while the fight on the train <i>should</i> have been interesting, but somehow... was lacking something I can't put my finger on. (OTOH, in Captain America: Civil War, during the fight at the airport, I <i>laughed for joy</i> because I was having so much fun.) I don't know what they missed in the Captain Marvel fight scenes, but the spark just was't there.<br /><br />... But given the rest of the paragraph from this guy's article, about "never being that much of a fan of action movies", he might not have enjoyed the airport fight scene in Civil War either. Which means your critique is pretty spot on, and he just picked a poor example because that movie really <i>did</i> have more interesting dialog than fight scenes.Robin Munnnoreply@blogger.com
