The way he threw it was just how I'd pictur it when i read the comics. I did have a few gripes though with the movie. <br /><br />First, they didn't do enough with Bucky. I like what they did with him before he went to war, but once steve became Cap, I felt like they needed to show that he was capable of standing side by side with Cap. As one review I read put it, he didn't do anything that would lead you to believe the Russians would go the trouble of turning him into Winter Soldier. <br /><br />The other main gripe, and this is minor, is that I would have liked the final fight between Cap and the Red Skull to be a little more exciting. It's not that it was bad, but as a fight scene, it also wasn't that memorable. There wasn't and real 'oh that was so cool' moments of that fight, whereas there were a ton of those moments through out the rest of the film. <br /><br />Overall though great movie and great review. Looking forward to the Avengers and youse guys review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371545873819430059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187601149334367495.post-37902463577295535292011-08-07T03:47:33.900-07:002011-08-07T03:47:33.900-07:00That's a good read of the scene - I didn't...That's a good read of the scene - I didn't connect it to the earlier discussion of his Mom when I was watching it, so maybe that's why I came away thinking it was kind of cheesy... The way you recount it, it sounds a lot cooler than it seemed at the time! Definitely deserving of a second viewing when it arrives on Blu-ray.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814512787500230198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187601149334367495.post-23710556291325106822011-08-06T01:51:18.305-07:002011-08-06T01:51:18.305-07:00Now being a UK resident, our release dates are a l...Now being a UK resident, our release dates are a little bit behind yours, so SUPER 8 opened August 5th. My take on the whole "necklace completes the spaceship" scene was this. We'd already established in the scene where the home movie was projected that Joel recognised his mother gave a certain look, that meant she was always looking out for him. When the necklace pulled away, it gave us Joel's POV - he stared directly at the photo, and "it"/his mother stared back - almost symbolically saying "I'll always be looking out for you". <br />So, the act of moving on was symbolic - the necklace pulled away but he accepted that his mother will always be a presence in his life.<br />Which is kind of what you said anyway, but I just thought there was a bit more symbolism to the scene.....ALShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853015707498770013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187601149334367495.post-27017155556137988072011-07-14T09:42:09.875-07:002011-07-14T09:42:09.875-07:00Thanks Eugene!
