A Marvel movie director heaping praise on a Marvel movie? Whatever next! To be fair though, James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) has never seemed hesitant to say what's on his mind, so it's safe to assume if he didn't think much of Captain America: Civil War he simply wouldn't have said anything at all. That was not the case, though.

During a live Facebook Q&A, Gunn brought up several elements of the Russo Brothers-helmed threequel that he was particularly impressed with. He starts by revealing that he has seen that the film and that it's "incredible", calling it "one of the best Marvel movies ever", and commending Joe and Anthony Russo on an "awesome" job. Gunn was also delighted with the cast, singling out Tom Holland's turn as Peter Parker/Spider-Man as "off the charts awesome" and "amazing". Obviously he doesn't get into specifics, but you can check out the full Q&A for yourselves at the link below.

Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, and Martin Freeman, Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6, 2016.

Didn't he also say Ant-Man was the best MCU movie since Iron Man? Ant-Man was the epitome of "meh" for me.

Of course he's going to say that! He works for Disney/marvel. He's not going to say it sucks. Whatever he has to say about is irrelevant.

Better believing an MCU director than a DC fan trying to place blind hype on fricking forum... "Best film ever", etc. as usual. Gunn isn't even pulling that here.

Considering all he said about Age of Ultron was "I've seen it. Yeah.", I think the majority should be somewhat satisfied with his answers.

Gunn's not a bullshiter. If he said he thought it was good, he thought it was good. The real question is whether or not any bias influenced his opinion.

@BodieBroadus

Yeah, he did. His favorite since IRON MAN anyway.

"Ant-Man may just be my favorite Marvel film since Jon Favreau's Iron Man"

At least this implies that Spider-man is actually suited up and doing something with more impact than a cameo.

I'm interested to see what type of environment and story the GOTG get into this time around. Less Yondu tho. In hindsight, he's not that great in the overall scheme of things. And he's a bit one-note. Wonder who the villain will be.

I never doubted the russos legitimacy ever since they revealed they shoot their movies so tight that they scarcely have any deleted scenes at the end of production.im curious to see what they do with giant man in civil war

@batman1216 - yeah because movie companies who've invest hundreds of millions into films really give a damn about what one lying attention seeker on reddit said, don't they. Dear me...

Well, he didn't say all those things when talking about AOU for example, showing he wasn't that impressed, so I believe it.

But he say that and more from the lackluster generic Ant-Man, so, sorry James (your screenplay of DotD 2004 was magistral) I'll wait until the premiere. Anyhow I don't doubt the movie gonna be pretty good since the Russos are coming back.

What I like about James Gunn is that he's not the type that's gonna blow smoke up someone's ass and give the movie praise because it's a Marvel movie. If he likes it, he'll say so, if not, he won't even give it a mention. He's not a studio panderer.

i trust the russo brothers far more than i trust james gunn. we didnt see any stupid dancing in winter soldier. gunn could have had a star wars like movie if he did a better job.

I think there's a point at which the idea of finally seeing Spiderman next to the Avengers over-compasses the "how good will this film be" portion of my mind. Same goes for BvS. We're finally getting all these superheroes together and it's about damn time.

For those of you who havent seen the Q&A. He wasn't even asked about Civil War. He was asked about Dr. Strange and he said how much he liked Civil War. He wasnt asked about it so really no reason to lie
