So I haven't read the series, but the movie comes across as America against the comies, they have all the power, they solve the worlds problems, etc... It just killed the movie for me as it just seems to be promoting America in situations of war. That country really needs to get with the program, trying to flex your muscles through cinema is, well, do I need to say it.
I think you're tying too hard to read something that isn't there.
The film depicts an America torn apart by greed and indifference, and it even goes so far as to mimic American authority figures. WHere were you getting the idea that the US is trying to flex muscle through (this) cinema?
