Joe and Anthony Russo are the names of the two movie directors who have changed the landscape of Marvel Studio and have become the face of Marvel's biggest film properties, and it all started with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Not even a week has passed since their trailer dropped for Captain America: The Civil War live on Jimmy Kimmel and caused major shock waves throughout Hollywood, the internet and the whole world. Since movie goers had to wait months just for a sneak peek for what indeed the Russo brothers had in store for us with Captain America: The Civil War. After the smoke cleared it made me take a strong look at what the Russo's have accomplished. With the success of their lone Marvel movie and a superhero and a lead actor who didn't top many folks favorite list, and let me start by saying Captain America has been my favorite superhero since I was 6, and later in life I got turned on to the Black Panther, those two are my favorite hands down! So it will be bitter sweet for me to see them fight each other in the Civil War movie! But hey Hell yeah I am excited just to see them on the BIG screen together!
Now back to the script shall we? We all know the backlash of Chris Evans becoming Captain America and the whole Human Torch thing and his first solo outing as Steve Rogers in The First Avenger which I truly enjoyed, received luke warm reviews from fans and critics. Leaving many folks to say that the Iron Man movies were better, and that Thor's movie was better! Along came The Avengers movie directed by Joss Whedon. Now many of you argued on this website that Iron Man should lead The Avengers and in a sense in terms of importance and screen time in The Avengers he did. Captain America once again took a back seat to several characters in that movie in my opinion. To be honest I just didn't like The Avengers 1 or 2. I just don't like how Joss Whedon uses Steve Rogers and that Cap costume and helmet in Avengers 1 just looks plain stupid if you ask me. Now Marvel has a way of just moving on if they aren't happy with things. Their mind set is just like on to the next, which is probably one of the reasons why they are so successful. The first Avengers director Joe Johnston or lead Villain Hugo Weaving have'nt been seen again in the Marvel Universe. Hugo Weaving...that's a whole other story, but anyway then we have The Winter Soldier.
The debut of the Super Russo Brothers, some guys with some success directing television for the most part, but most people were left scratching their heads...those directors from the office!? But Kevin Feige must be smarter than everybody else because he handed a movie property that needed new life to two underdogs and they created the MONA LISA! I mean they struck gold! They turned shit into sugar, after The Winter Soldier Captain America is everyone's favorite, these people can't live without Cap! Just the mere thought of Captain America dying in The Civil War they can't even stomach it! Everybody is like Thor who? Hulk Who? Kill Iron Man Cap, beat him to death! Funny how that happened right! I mean the fight scenes in The Winter Soldier are unlike anything I have ever seen in a comic book movie, and the blood shed and violence had me like is this really PG-13...This is great!! It's everything that I ever wanted in a superhero movie! I mean it was the realest superhero stuff I had ever seen, if that makes sense. In my opinion it is Marvel's best movie period! At last they made Nick Fury bad ass, and let Samuel L. Jackson do what he does best...KILL PEOPLE! LOL! The Winter Soldier was so good that Marvel sent Joss Whedon packing, told him to get lost. I heard even Kevin Feige was packing his belongings for him. I mean after The Winter Soldier everything just seemed so Cartoony. Avengers 2 came off corny, and that slowmo of everybody flying through the air at the same time made me throw up just a little bit. I can't wait to see what the Russo Brothers do with The Avengers I mean you seen what they did with Cap, and now you are giving them Hulk, Spiderman, Black Panther, Iron Man what!? This is going to be unreal! Starting with The Civil War then The Infiniti Wars hell since it's two of the Russo Brothers why can't they just direct all of the Marvel movies going forward? Black Panther included...Yeah I said it! LOL! Well let's see how they handle him in the Civil War first before I go that far. In closing the Russo Brothers have proven to be really great directors, but more importantly by understanding to bring out the characters unique abilities they have proven to be real comic book fans at heart. Now folks if you knew better you would do better and leave a comment and hit the thumbs up and show your boy some love! -GAB
Peace!
