I'm a pretty big movie guy, i've seen a ton, I watch a few hundred each year. As much as I cling to so many that I loved in the 80's and 90's I gotta be that d-bag and say what they are doing with modern cinema is a spectacle.

What really did it for me, I grew up a comic book nut. My uncle owned a shop that burned down and when I was 7 he gave me close to 2,000 comics that survived, a lot of them were vintage with the backboard, in plastic. I got some great ones. I obsessed, but I always dreamed of having quality movies, or anything that wasn't animated.

What the MCU just did was an emotional experience for me, because I dreamed about it and didn't think it would ever happen. It began with the first X-Men movie with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and I felt a bit of hope that maybe we were finally going to get some consistently good superhero films. Then Wolverine Origins was kind of a stinker, X-Men 3 Last Stand wasn't great, but it was satisfying enough.

Then they released Iron Man, and then Captain America, and it made me feel 10 years old again. It blew me away. I saw Iron Man in theaters 7 times. Captain America 5. What they managed to do thereafter, bringing it all together, all the great casted characters, the quality of just about all of the movies, I got lost in it. It was such an emotional experience, I cried at times, it's something I didn't think i'd ever see happen and it did.

Sorry for the MCU jerk off rant, but i'm just being honest. It's easily my favorite cinematic experience ever.
