>action movie sequel >movie starts with character(s) mid-combat

Okay so that happens a lot but not all the time.

TDKR stars mid-CIA-mission and it literally affects the entire future of mankind.

name one movie

>>82476834
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knght Rises
Avengers 2
Civil War
Gaurdians of the Galaxy 2
Fuck, even Logan does it

You see where Im going with this

>>82476862
Never seen Logan but ALL of those affect the rest of the movies.

>>82476862
Haven't seen Logan or GoG2, but of the ones I've seen, only Avengers 2 really counts. In the other instances, they aren't really "mid-combat," but a tense situation that leads to combat which then "barely affects anything."

This actually has improved over the years. In the ones you mentioned, they actually relate to the plot, when often, the combat situation has really nothing whatsoever to do with the main conflict of the movie except that involves some of the same characters. I'm thinking of movies like the first three Indiana Jones films, which was actually a flaw the fourth one didn't have.

Actually, like >>82476932 said, in Avengers 2, the battle does affect the plot, so that one doesn't count either.

Actually, in the Indiana Jones films I mentioned, it doesn't quite start mid-combat either.

>>82476862
Only Civil War counts in all your examples.

>>82476767
what is james bond

>>82476767
It's just a useful way for writers to show the capabilities of the characters and to pull the audience right in with some action.

K, but there are films that are able to make the opening sequence relate to the rest of the film, e.g., the James Bond films.
