Captain America Civil War is everything that Marvel fans deserves.
A good story to build up the atmosphere,damn good fight scene mix with amazing camera work.
The characters are all well acting,especially antman and spiderman,their humor just knock it out of the park and just steal the show.Also I really like Zemo in this movie,he act like a really emotional and scary villain.All the action scene in this film is just badass,the airport fight is the best fight I've seen in superhero movies.It is amazing to see so many characters in a movie,and still have their moments to shine.
I took some points away is because I don't like the ending and some of the unnecessary set up scene.
But still an amazing movie… Expand

Story is flawed
Action scenes are good
At the places the VFX doesn't add up
Over all a huge disappointment for the wait and does not live up to its predecessor the winter soldier

The fight choreography was amazing, on par with the winter soldier, and the airport battle has to be one of the best action scenes of all times. It was honestly incredible. Spider-man and Black Panther were awesome additions to the MCU and I'm excited for their solo movies. Be sure to stay for the two end credit scenes. I cannot wait to see what the Russo Brothers do with Avengers Infinity War!… Expand

Action was nice and safe i.e. no danger feel and very kids friendly. Zemo ultimate plans reveal was as bad as the fake mandarin.

Antman and spiderman participating in the war due to being starstrucked was ridiculous as scott land would definitely stay out of trouble with the law after finding redemption in his own movie while Peter Parker is definitely misuing his power to impress his idol instead of being responsible.… Expand

To be fair, its better than BvS but that's the only positive thing I can say about this. Spider-Man is just flat out irritating and the way he is shoehorned into the story is horrible. Black Panther is just - nothing. Every 'joke' fell flat with the half empty audience I watched it with, and I've never seen so many punters take a loo break, and no one seemed to be saying nice things on the way out so don't think I'm alone in my thinking. Kids will be bored to tears until the airport scene. Admittedly, that scene will entertain the young, but they'll probably be asleep or on their smartphones by the time it arrives.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Except for the opening scene and the 40 minutes ranging from Spiderman recruitment to the end of Rissone in the airport, the film is shot with a field equal to that of a style TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He does not have the breath of cinema. He does not have the eye of the cinema. It has not the time of cinema. And 'a film thought in 4: 3, with a depth of field and width of production from Netflix look.
Not that this is necessarily a bad thing (especially when an episode of a serial has never been so beautiful) but we are at the movies **** not in front of the TV. Pretty much the only good thing left of Age of Ultron was thrown away (where Whedon, despite his past as filmed cable, a bit of cinema has tried to do so).
The two storyline of the film, although intertwined very well unlike film as BvS, have succeeded in half: the Zemo plan is uncertain to say the least, the bad fact won the uselessness of the film award and all the events related to Bucky, in my opinion, too much attention away from the concept of "civil war" and, in the first part, I have also quite bored (and I was not the only room). The storyline on the Civil War, although very interesting and presented in an almost excellent, with all the motivation consistent for each character to be part of one side or another, is developed very little and absolutely so flat and not very brave. Do not you feel the climate of "civil war" (I do not speak of rissoni cartoon, but the background that reigns around crossover that gave a unique feel to the reader, plunging him also it into a civil war, where the enemy are not outsiders but people who until recently were brothers), the protagonists often get lost in idle chatter and exchange flips. It lacks the drama, lacking the excitement and miss the involvement of the viewer (that's why I say that is cool)
Then in truth there is the opening scene and especially those 40 minutes mentioned above that are a different story. All defects already explained that in my opinion are present in this film magically disappear, and the film becomes what it should be: an exciting, technically perfect and thrilling clash-encounter between supertizi. in short, a masterpiece (if you notice, also and above all from the point of view of directing the film changes a lot bringing us abruptly to the movies).
After the airport scene, the situation is as before but with very muted aforementioned defects (the direction changes again!).
The conclusion I consider it a less courageous film TWS and therefore do not live up to its predecessor.… Expand

Despite that, Evans gives probably his best Cap portrayal yet: less brooding, but more assured. He's clearly comfortable in the role now, and is never outshone by Downey jr.'s Stark / Ironman. The usual great Marvel action sequences are back, with a story that takes a while to build but has a great twist at the end. At the film's center lies the question: should the Avengers be put under UN oversight, or not? Both sides are presented well, and the main threat is approached by each side in different (and conflicting) ways, generating much of the tension for the final showdown. 8/10 for yet another great ensemble film from Marvel.

Drawback: you need to have seen The Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron for all the characters' motivations to make complete sense.… Expand

And it's also one of the best cbms ever made.

Taking place after the events of "Avengers: Age of Ultron", "Civil War" finds the team divided as they disagree over international oversight of the Avengers. Two factions are created, one lead by Steve Rogers and the other by Tony Stark. This conflict leads to the debut of other popular Marvel characters, such as Black Panther and Spider-Man and a big fight between the members.

"Civil War" meets the high bar set by the Russo Brothers with "The Winter Solider" and offers a fun, action-packed and entertaining, albeit more grounded and dramatic addition to Kevin Feige's successful franchise. It's a great example of how blockbusters should be made and offers much depth to iconic characters such as Captain America and Iron Man.… Expand

However, these are not the only players involved in this superhero extravaganza, with Captain America being joined by the Winter Soldier, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man and Hawkeye, and Iron Man teaming up with War Machine, Black Widow, Vision, and newly introduced, Black Panther and Spiderman. Civil War is definitely the most intense and mature of all the MCU films and what the Russo's (directors) really grasped well is creating an environment where we as the audience can invest and care for these heroes on an emotional level, which is testament to what the MCU has done with all these well-developed characters. Throughout all these years, we have seen all these characters evolve, not just as heroes but as people. The histories of both Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are central to the story that develops in Civil War, and the events that ensue creates the division within the Avengers, as well as the people watching the film unfold. This also helps our villain, Zemo, increase his influence on the audience, because as invested viewers, whether you picked a side or not, no-one wants the villain to achieve his goal. With great writing, great directing and great acting, this film acts on what it intends to achieve superbly, creating the best Marvel film seen to date.… Expand

Great. Now that you're past the buffer, let's talk about this movie. Captain America: Civil War is the ultimate movie in a trilogy of Cap movies in Marvel's Cinematic Universe. Many people are labeling it Avengers 2.5, but I see it as the future of Marvel movies to come.

Before I rave about this movie, let's talk about some downsides. There were a few moments where I was thrown out of the action (and I don't mean the Jason Bourne-type action you may be thinking about, I mean the plot, the general action of the movie). One was near the end of the airport scene (which will be discussed) where Scott Lang is taken down and gives a crummy quip. This is pretty nitpicky though. Second was the moment where Cap and Sharon Carter share a kiss. Cap says it was a long time coming, but this moment had little setup. Their relationship started in the last movie with them being neighbors and did not range farther than that. In this movie, Sharon is an ally to Cap. I believe that had they strengthened the relationship in the previous movie or simply laid more groundwork in this one for a connection, the moment might have been more believable. NITPICKING! Lastly, the camera movements regarding the action sequences at the mission in Lagos is dizzying, and not in the good, filmmaker way. I've seen Cap 3 twice and both times I got nauseous just trying to follow Black Widow with my eyes. But again, nitpicking.

Now I've heard the argument from some people that it is unfair to have such connected movies in this Cinematic Universe because the emotional and storytelling heavy lifting has already been done in previous movies that have come out years before. I think that argument is utter bulls**t. It is. Let's get a reality check: people go and see these movies. Not just some, not just comic book fans, but a LOT. OF. PEOPLE. This movie as of now worldwide is on the verge of a billion dollars and is only on its third week of release. Both Avengers movies grossed over a billion dollars and the previous Captain America movies have made bank, not to mention every other MCU film. No film in the franchise has been a flop, not one. And in this culture we live in today, infused with fame and pop culture, there are enough people out there willing to help those who can't see the movies prior.

Think of it like this. You're reading Harry Potter. All the books in the Harry Potter series are part of a shared universe, you gotta read them in order to understand the emotional weight of the story, not to mention the bare bones logic. You wouldn't read Order of the Phoenix without reading Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire. You would be lost, seeing two years go by of story.

And so it is with the MCU. While Marvel has done a stellar job with making great movies that standalone, the cohesion of the universe only ever adds to the power of the story and Captain America: Civil War is a testament to that. First spoiler of the day: The "twist" at the end of the movie that gets us our final fight in Siberia was actually shown to us very subtly in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Had you not seen that movie, then you still weren't left out to dry because Civil War had enough setup to understand Tony's relationship to his parents and Bucky's involvement in the Winter Soldier brainwashing program. Having watched the previous movies only adds to involvement of the audience.

Let me say this of the MCU before I move on. I heard some people I knew who watched the movie say that it was very confusing (they hadn't watched anything but Avengers movies) and what they were confused by was where characters were at in their story. I say that this is not an issue of the filmmakers but rather the audience. When you walked into the theater to go watch The Hateful Eight and you see a snowy mountain and Tarantino doesn't outright tell you where the carriage is that's traveling on this mountain, you don't get to complain about not understanding what's happening. It's all in the discovery. I'm gonna leave it at that.

Now time for praise. If you'll sit back and relax, you will get so much out of this movie. If you are on the edge of your seat, the same will happen. There are so many moment that are just eye-popping. The soft moments are tender, sweet, and necessary for the wonderful pacing. The actors are stellar, especially RDJ in what is my favorite performance from him yet. Seriously guys, that **** killed his mom. Root for RDJ once in a while. Zemo is a bit confusing on the first watch, but is so much better on the second. GUYS!!! Watch movies more than once. You're supposed to. You can't get everything out of one watch.

Now for the highest praise out of the whole movie: Three characters. Spiderman. Black Panther. And Giant Man. You heard me. I won't say more because you just have to experience the dedication these characters add to this movie.… Expand

In the original Avengers the friendly fights were done in the forest so no one will get hurt and there's not much to destroy. In Civil War the characters are doing ungodly amounts of destruction to everything around them. All of this while the characters claim to 'still be friends' making it even more ridiculous. Hello, aren't we trying to make amends for the destruction we caused in the previous movies? And what is Cap's end game? Does he honestly believe he can go up against the entirety of the UN?

The pacing also needs a lot of work. It falls into the classic trap so many Marvel movies are falling into recently of going much too slow in the beginning and going incredibly fast at the end. I think it's much worse in Civil War and other global scope movies than say Ant-Man because we're constantly jumping back and forth between random locations with minimal context.

Also the story is weak. This is the problem with cliffhanger movies. They just don't have any obvious conflict in them. It's just one meandering story with no obvious end. There's just no build up or suspense. Just people fighting each other for the flimsiest of reasons.… Expand

Too many characters and calling them by various names being its biggest sins, as it simply makes it hard to follow. The action scenes are poorly done and solely done in the name of, "oh that's badass" or "oh he/she is hot". Even worse, they are poorly shot and wholly disorienting when they occur. The quips can be funny, but the comedic timing is dreadful and undermines potentially serious moments. Even worse, I f***king hate Iron Man. I hated him before this movie. I hate him now and he's like half the movie. The Iron Man movies are the only Marvel ones I do not like and it is because of how much of a whiny, self-righteous brat his character is that I truly despise him. This ultimately hurt here and made the overall film incredibly underwhelming. That said, the new character introductions are appropriately epic and done very well. The film is incredibly entertaining with good fight scenes (minus the disorientation), it is funny, and the disagreement is very well laid out as opposed to the film about the sons of Marthas. The acting is more than acceptable here and thoroughly feels like a comic book movie. Overall, after enjoying the first two Captain America's, Civil War was wholly underwhelming due to Iron Man and being overstuffed with characters (who are referred to by their real name and superhero name interchangeably). Civil War did not live up to my hopes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Praises
* The final battle between Captain America and Iron Man. It resembles a lot like Anakin vs. Obi Wan in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
* The visual effects
* Robert Downey, Jr.'s dark performance as Iron Man. It contrasts to all the Iron Man performances he has done over the years.
* Chris Evan's performance as Captain America
* The casting choice for Spider-Man, Tom Holland. He looks just like Peter Parker despite the flaws from the writing.
Criticism
* The title of the movie being the third installment of Captain America instead of just calling it "Marvel's Civil War."
* Too much characters who don't resemble at all to the Captain America franchise, including Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, The Vision, and especially, Spider-Man.
* Special criticism: SPIDER-MAN. He was supposed to be a very inspiring character with huge emotional background and very trustworthy to fight with. I prefer to call him, Peter Parker, "Jr." because he wasn't that young in the comics when he became Spider-Man. He got bitten by a spider during his senior year of high school. I really hate how they presented Spider-Man in the MCU because it doesn't relate at all to how Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield portrayed him. Tom Holland was better than Tobey Maguire, but not as good as Andrew Garfield, because Garfield put a lot of emotion and heart while in the suit. In this movie, Peter said it's been 6 months since he got his powers, but he never explained why he became Spider-Man to being with. That reason will always be Uncle Ben. When Spider-Man said, "Holy **** when Ant-Man grew, it literally killed my childhood. So, **** you, Marvel.
* Aunt May's casting choice was the worst. It's a way to make humor gimmicks like Iron Man flirting with her in front of Peter. Ugh!
* Civil War was supposed to be the darkest of the MCU, instead there was too much humor and too much meme references to mock.
* The Vision wearing human clothes. Are you ****ing kidding me?!
* It was meant to a Captain America movie, but they barely even focused on him. They focused more on the supporting characters than the actual main character.
* Stan Lee calling Stark, "Stank." Imagine replacing "t" with a "k."
* Special criticism: No deaths involved. Marvel is so much of a **** that can't kill off any character in Civil War.
* Part Two of Special Criticism: The comic, Civil War, was supposed to be the most devastating storyline to be put in Marvel. What the hell was Feige thinking not resembling the majority of a darker tone from the comic to the movie? In the trailer, we assumed that War Machine was going to die and have Iron Man avenge him by fighting off Captain America even more. Nope, he gets paralyzed in the leg. That shot from The Vision could have killed him even before the fall.
* Part Three of Special Criticism: The most significant part of the comic was the aftermath of Civil War: THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN AMERICA. In the end of the comic, Steve Rogers gets assassinated by a hypnotized Sharon Carter during his conference at the White House. This made a huge impact to the Avengers. Iron Man mourns for Captain America and regrets signing the Ant-Registration Act, including the harm he put into The Avengers. Iron Man was so mournful enough to recreate S.H.I.E.L.D. (New Avengers Initiative). Sharon Carter encourages Bucky Barnes to fulfill Steve Rogers's role as Captain America. He refuses until he finally remembers his entire friendship with him and Steve. He gazes at the suit and experiences hope. I wanted to see that as the end of the movie, BUT NOW I CAN'T. In the movie, Captain America is still alive and Bucky Barnes freezes himself again with no motivation (other than until the hypnotism wares off, but that doesn't count). What the hell have you done, Kevin Feige?… Expand

The plot wasn't bad....brought up some serious issues by giving both sides. The direction was HORRIBLE!!!! Typical of the last two Superman and Bourne movies..... you have an amateur director who thinks that handheld cameras jumping around fighting and chase sequences in close-ups is exciting. Add to that, extremely choppy editing, and you have a hodgepodge of odd spliced action that you can't make heads or tails out of it. The action scenes had a lot of speeded up CGI fast movements that were annoyingly unrealistic.

Most young viewers are probably used to this type of directing and don't know how great action pictures should be shot. I desperately wanted the camera to pull back and let me appreciate how the action was unfolding. I literally could not make heads or tails out of most of a car chase in a tunnel because of this crappy directing style and editing.

This was never going to be a super great movie; but it could have been a much better action film than it was.… Expand

Just amazing on every level. I haven't had a feeling like this walking out of a superhero movie since The Dark Knight, and I'd be inclined to say that it might be the best comic book movie ever since The Dark Knight.

The action. TheJust amazing on every level. I haven't had a feeling like this walking out of a superhero movie since The Dark Knight, and I'd be inclined to say that it might be the best comic book movie ever since The Dark Knight.

The action. The airport scene is hands down the best action scene in any comic book movie ever. Not just this, but chase scene with Bucky and Black Panther was just awesome, and the final action scene is shocking, dark, and surprisingly violent for a Marvel movie. Pretty much the only thing you could criticize about the action in this movie is the shaky cam in the first few fights, but it wears off later on.

The characters. Spider-Man!! F**K YES! FINALLY.... A PERFECT DEPICTION OF HIM! Tobey was a crappy spider-man and a great Peter Parker, and Andrew Garfield was a great spider-man and a crappy Peter Parker, but Tom Holland knocks it out of the park for both! Chadwick Boseman also played an amazing Black Panther. And best of all, they both play completely essential roles in the movie! Not just shoehorned in at the end. The rest of the cast (Cap, IM, BW, etc., etc.) is as awesome as they've always been if not better. But forget about all that, because it's time to talk about who is possibly the most underrated villain EVER! There's pretty much been no above average villains in the MCU up to this point besides Loki and The Winter Soldier (If you would count him as a villain), but this guy honestly breaks the trend. Zemo's motivations made complete sense and he wasn't just an over the top ridiculous antagonist. And if you think about it, he actually caused the most damage to the Avengers out of any MCU villain...

Finally, the story. We all knew going into this movie that it wasn't going to be on nearly as big of a scale as the Civil War comic, but integrating the Civil War into a Cap movie like this is pretty genius. At it's core, this is a sequel to Winter Soldier. In that, Bucky Barnes is completely integral to the plot and the way they link his backstory to Iron Man is just phenomenal. The movie is two and a half hours long, and it absolutely doesn't feel like that, because it's so well paced and there's never that one moment where you aren't glued to the screen. Although admittedly the movie didn't take too many "risks", I understand why.

In the end, like I said before, in my humble opinion, this is the best Marvel movie to date and is also the best CBM ever since TDK. In fact, the way it leaves you at the end of the movie feels a lot like TDK. In my mind, this is the first chapter of the end of the line that the MCU has been leading up to. And that makes me simultaneously sad that we're approaching the end, but super happy that the end is oh so FANT4STIC! Oh yeah, f**k that movie.… Expand

Extremely boring. Whether im being biased/comparing my views on this to that of TWS is irrelevant, because this film didn't strike me as entertaining. It had an interesting premise but didn't deliver it very well. However, the new portrayal of Spider-Man i think was the best since the original Tony Maguire performance, and I liked the inclusion of Black Panther. There were some good fight scenes: most notably the one between Iron Man and Captain America, and a majority of the cinematography was well executed, but overall, it was a very boring film that I had much anticipated.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 7/10, if that. Maybe 6.5/10. Not BAD per say, but this movie made a lot of the same flaws that Age of Ultron did, mostly due, I suspect, to a time crunch; such as hurried plot progression and failing motivation for both villain and character. Adding in Spiderman was just Marvel wanting to show off the character they'd bought but it really detracted from some of the gravitas. He was very good but he didn't seem to fit in with the overall story. And the side-plot involving him was one of the elements that had been a worry for the movie; that it wouldn't be a true Captain America movie as it wouldn't be about him as much as it should've.

The movie was built up around the Accords but they pretty much were forgotten for the entire second half and it just became about Iron Man wanting to prove himself right over Captain America. They were the motivation, yes, but that became very hard to see by the time of the airport fight scene. And of course there was a lot of time given to the other Winter Soldiers but then it cut off when he killed them. A twist, yes, but one which wasted massive amount of film time. The fight scenes were decent but some of the employed elements, such as Ant-Man's surprise, were rather surprising--and not in the good way. It was the sort of thing that really didn't belong in a group hero movie.

When it comes to movies about conflicting ideals, especially when, as in this case, both sides make solid and understandable points, it is usually important to give both sides their due so, even if one wins, both are understood. And it had that covered quite well early on with Tony's guilt and Steve's hero complex, but that theme was lost somewhere along the lines. Eventually Tony's team (minus Natasha) seemed composed of people seeking revenge (T'Challa), gratification (Tony), or just following blindly (Spiderman+Rhodey). There wasn't even any pressing NEED for them to fight, and that was what made the movie as a whole rather hard to swallow.

Characterization, as with the plot, began well before taking a nosedive about halfway. There was a nice base, each character given their due and specific reasons to support their side, but as the difference in opinions arose it was lost by the wayside. Some of the most important elements were forgotten in place of cheap drama; Tony became a hothead with no care for Steve (a feature which was the entire point of Ultron), Peter became a fanboy without the ability to think for himself, and T'Challa sought revenge with no other thought through his head. (Or, for the record, explanation for his own abilities and suit beyond a passing comment of it being an heirloom.)

All-in-all the movie gave the feeling that they were heading in one direction beforehand but a last-minute change forced them to scrounge for an alternative ending. Not quite bad, but shall we say... lacking.… Expand

Arguably the best of those characters is Captain America, simply because he's the one character people are most likely to relate to. The Captain isn't a billionaire or a king, and he doesn't have super abilities from another planet, he's just this wholesome, level headed guy, who you can't help but like. In his third feature film, Captain America (Chris Evans) comes into conflict with other members of the Avengers, as following a tragedy, the world governments decide the Avengers shouldn't be free to do whatever they want anymore. Some of them agree, some of them don't, and that's where the split occurs, leading to one of the best fight scenes I have ever seen. When I saw the previews for this film, I couldn't understand why the story wasn't used for an Avengers film. Even while watching it, I noticed that much of the focus isn't solely on Captain America, and I became even more convinced. This film was not a true stand alone like we've seen in the past, and that's because I think it was more of a transitional project than anything else. Clearly it seems as though Marvel is putting Captain America on the shelf for a while and trying to draw our attention to the new Spider-man series, starring Tom Holland. I must admit, I have never really liked Spider-man. I always saw him as bland and weak compared to the rest of the Marvel universe, but Tom Holland changed my mind in this film. He was all personality, in a way that Toby McGuire and Andrew Garfield couldn't even imagine. The charisma this good looking young actor puts out there should be enough to get anyone excited for the new series. As far as this film goes, the story was a bit complicated, and in my opinion there are far too many characters involved for this to be titled Captain America. In that sense I was disappointed, because I love the character, and was looking forward to another feature film about him. On the other hand, amazing new characters were added, a major story line was introduced into the Avengers genre, and I got to see the best action sequence I've ever seen, so while it wasn't what I expected, I still highly recommend seeing this film.… Expand

We have the first hour of nothing, politics, more nothing, contracts, discussions, and one of the worst edited fight scenes I have ever seen (I'm talking Quantum of Solace bad) honestly, skip it. The last hour is Captain America getting overshadowed by every other character in the damn movie. And smack bam in the middle is a 20 minute introduction to our friendly neighbourhood Spiderman. Meet 12 year old Spidey make his not so amazing entrance that really made me want to jump into the movie and slap him in the face. Would I recommended it?

I believe the first Captain America film was another fun MarvelAnother great release for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and an excellent conclusion to what I think is their strongest lone superhero films: the Captain America trilogy. I believe the first Captain America film was another fun Marvel superhero movie, but with Winter Soldier and now Civil War the bar was certainly raised for the MCU. Within Civil War there is the classic humor, but it still maintains a much more serious and pressing plot, pitting friends against each other and dividing the Avengers team. The film's action is unparalleled as far as the rest of the Marvel films and Downey's Iron Man performance as well as Evans and the rest of the cast's acting is great. I thought the creators did a very good job of letting all the superheroes have their moments of glory, as well as introducing new players like Black Panther and Spider-man (both awesome), while still keeping the primary focus on Captain America and his loyalty to Bucky, his lifelong friend. A must-see for general movie fans, not just superhero fans. 8.5/10. Side note: the airport scene is incredible.… Expand

This movie has many similar aspects with DC Batman vs Superman movie. It is interesting to compare these two movies, because here is very visible difference and how it should be in BvS movie. Reason why BvS does not make sense and this movie does is, that Marvel created a story for every character, so you know who are they, why are they the story and what problems they have to solve. This movie is great in visual, but I have a problem with some action scenes. Sorry, but we are in 2016 and some of the scenes looks ridiculous and absurd, when, for example, human-hero survive bomb explosion just because he jump away from the bomb, but the bomb explode just about 2-3 m far behind him. The movie tries to be more darker and solve some serious moral superhero questions, but some jokes in thrilling moments are just not suitable and damage this serious atmosphere. I do not want have spoilers hare, so about the story - it is not bad, but could be better. Sometimes raises some questions like "Why is he/she (not) doing this?". The movie is more focused to action scenes and visual effect. It is not bad movie, have many good aspects, but previous Marvel movies had better quality for me.… Expand

Evans commands the film and everThe cast, once again, as usual, is a standout. Chris Evans still proves that he is Captain America, distilling in him doubt and a questioning manner, while also showing him as a conflicted and true leader. Evans commands the film and ever scenes that he is in, proving that the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't complete without the character. Robert Downey Jr. once again proves that he is Tony Stark and that no other actor can depict the character. Downey takes a backseat to Evans in good fashion and doesn't try to take the film away from him. This is more Captain America, than Iron Man, with Stark only arriving into the film when necessary and never hogging the film away from Evans. Downey and Evans work well together, while successfully showing the different sides of both characters: Captain America as the leader and Tony Stark as the billionaire, who after the events of Age of Ultron, is guilt ridden. His decision to favor oversight comes from a civilian in Sokovia being killed during the battle, which has a huge impact over the film. Sebastian Stan makes a welcome return to Bucky Barnes, the brainwashed friend of Captain America, code-named the Winter Soldier. Once again this character proves that the Captain America trilogy is about one thing: brotherly love. Stan's depiction brings a sense of doubt and confusion, since he still trying to piece his entire life together, while it also partly ties certain events together. Scarlett Johansson is marvelous as always as Black Widow, delivering great lines and working well opposite both Evans and Downey. Anthony Mackie is once again amazing as Falcon, Captain America's new ally. Don Cheadle still works well with Downey and in the role of James Rhodes, having replaced Terence Howard in Iron Man 2. Jeremy Renner makes a great, small appearance as Hawkeye, as does Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, lending a sense of comedy to the film and giant surprises. Paul Bettany depicts Vision as an android attempting to come to grips with the world, while Elizabeth Olsen gets to further explore the character of Scarlet Witch, sharing some really great scenes with Bettany. William Hurt makes a welcome return to the MCU as Thunderbolt Ross, now Secretary of State. This approach seems to be done as a way to still make clear that The Incredible Hulk (the black sheep of the MCU) is still part of the universe. Hurt shows Ross as a complicated politician. Frank Grillo makes a great, small appearance as Rumlow at the beginning, while Emily VanCamp makes a welcome return as Sharon Carter and Martin Freeman is introduced to the MCU in a small role as Everett Ross, who will undoubtedly return for future installments. The real standouts in the film are Tom Holland as Spider-Man and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther. Holland steals the scenes that he is in as Spider-Man, working exceptionally well opposite Evans and Downey, as well as Marisa Tomei, who depicts Aunt May. Holland is comedic, depicting the character as a nervous, geeky, unsure character. Holland seems to be the definitive version of the character, delivering a far better performance of the character than Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, the two of whom are also fine actors. While some may say that Spider-Man is only featured in the film to introduce him into the MCU and also to setup the planned standalone film, I believe that Spider-Man worked out well in the film and lend a real sense of stamina to the film, especially the big fight. Boseman is amazing as Black Panther, delivering the character with menace and true purpose. Boseman is calm as the character, while the introduction is wild and spectacular. Daniel Bruhl makes a great appearance as the villain Zemo, who has a huge connection to the events of the film. While the character is different in the comic books, I can defend the change that had to be done, since it supports the film's plot and layout. Bruhl's approach to the character, as a calm and calculating villain, as well as the villain itself is spectacular, while he has got to be the best villain that the universe has had to see so far. The idea of having a normal, regular human face off against the Avengers is smart and total genius on the part of the filmmakers.… Expand

It's decent. The action is average and the pacing is terrible, but the overall divide between Stark and Cap is clear and believable, which is what really matters most. However, the film is not always terribly clear why the others picked the side that they chose. This is most obvious with Clint and Scarlet Witch, both of whom seem very out of character with the choices that they make. It is worth noting that this may be my favorite villain from all of the Marvel movies so far.

The stark difference between the critical reviews of Civil War and Dawn of Justice is utterly baffling to me. The films share similar strengths and similar weaknesses. Both film studios need to straight up fire their editing crews, because Civil War (like DoJ) suffers from jarringly bad editing. Where DoJ suffers from scattershot editing that puts together the scenes in an unintuitive way, Civil War seems to start and stop multiple times before it finally hits its stride about halfway through the film. This is made even more clunky as the film tries to introduce multiple new characters without ever slimming down the main cast. Fortunately the new heroes are all well played. Also, Civil War's actors are often talking off-screen even during pedestrian conversations, and it's really obvious that the two actors are not in the same room, which dramatically weakens a couple key scenes.… Expand

Admittedly this is a few notches up from previous efforts and, despite a patchy and inconsistent screenplay there is actually a germ of a good story being played out, albeit at monstrously excessive length. The mystery surrounding the deaths of Iron Man’s parents; the brief introduction of additional warriors and a fantastic stunt set piece involving Captain America and a helicopter are all plot points or moments that promise much. Unfortunately, pasting such highlights between endless fights and battles ensure that the story’s flow becomes a stop start affair. These action sequences are not only lengthy and unimaginatively staged, but are also loaded with the usual tiresome banter and unfunny lines which severely disjoint the passably good story and seem to have become a staple ingredient of these films. Technically the achievements are good enough, but it has to be said that the cinematography is very dark for much of the time. Also, the special effects whilst perfectly acceptable are not really showcasing anything new. Fans will, I’m sure, lap it all up. However, even as I contemplate this certainty the one question that keeps wanting to be asked is WHY?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. **So Many Spoilers** **Spoilers**

Marvel made some great films like Guardians of the Galaxy,The Avengers,Iron Man,Winter Soldier and Ant-man but they also made some mediocre ones like Thor the Dark world,Iron man 2&3 and The incredible Hulk and also the disappointing film Avengers:weak of Ultron .So "civil war" where do I need to put this? in the Great category of course.This by far Marvel's strongest film better than the Winter soldier,yeah I said it,Some people may prefer Winter soldier but for me is better than that.

The Characters,They are all great,they where given enough time to shine especially spider-man, you won't be disappointed with Black Panther cause he is also great.The new Characters are great and I like to see them their upcoming films.Iron Man/Tony stark is amazing,it felt like Iron man 1,he regrets everything that he has done and that's why they need to put in check.Captain America is the same boy scout that you know and Chris Evans still nails it as the guy who dress up as a flag.And again the other Avengers where given the time to shine.The real villain Zemo is the first villain in the MCU that is just some guy who has a plan to tear the avengers apart and put some layers of the character but the villain is forgettable.I hope they use him and set him up as bigger threat in in some of the future marvel films cause he is not yet dead,he almost try to kill himself but Black Panther saved him.

The action scenes are fantastic well some of the scenes felt too shaky but that was just one scene where Bucky,Black Panther and Captain America chase scene.The best fight for me was Cap vs. Iron man scene in the final action scene in the film,where Iron man founds the truth that The Winter Soldier killed his parents and Cap tries to save Bucky from Tony.The fight was amazing and I love to see it again.The second one was the Airport fight sequence,It was the best part of the film where the Superhero Vs superhero fight happened.The fight sequences where handled pretty well and they give emphasis of the heroes abilities and Spider-man's quips.Let me go on fanboying about spider-man,He is great and Tom Holland is the best Spider-man/Peter Parker better than the Tobey and Andrew's Version.He is given time and makes me smile when he appears in the airport fight sequence.He is also talkative and throw a lot of quips and I like it.My other favorite character,Ant-Man grows big like in the comics first time on screen.So the action sequences are great and the Russo Brothers really knows to do Action.

The different ideologies between Cap and Iron man are handle well.the Sokovia Accords thing where they need to be under the eyes of the government and the Avengers id not anymore a private agency was handled well.The set-up of why Cap and Tony fight was handled greatly and they take time to emphasize their different ideologies.The 2nd major one was Bucky,Buck is huge in the conflict.He was framed by Zemo and make T'challa thinks that Bucky killed his father with a bomb while in the United Nations.The whole government think of that.Cap founds out about Zemo and wants to find him to know the truth and making them split in to two groups #Teamcap and #TeamIron man leading up to the airport fight,where they know where Zemo is heading and all of team cap was there to go with him but Team iron man founds them and the fight begins. Okay I am now explaining the plot but seriously it was handled greatly and make sense cause we know why they fight and why they where split.You will be confused of which side are you on cause both men are right in their respective ideologies.Marvel did a great job between the Punisher and Daredevil's ideologies and why not do a great one in "Civil War".

So Captain America:Civil War is Marvel's strongest film with a plot that works,characters that we love emphasizes their abilities and powers and stay lovable. Action sequences that was fun to watch.It destroys Age of Ultron and is the best movie in the Cap's Trilogy.This is a fun summer movie.I recommend this.… Expand

I guess if you start nitpicking, you'll probably find some flaws. Overall, it was the most entertaining movie I've seen this year. This movie is proof that you can make a great movie regardless of genre.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a movie civil war was good except it just lacked one thing: you can tell from the events of the film that the reason for the heroes fighting isn't the registration act, its because cap wants to protect bucky from the rest of the avengers. The main reason why panther joined in the first place was because he thought the winter solider killed his father, evidently he didn't. And at the end of the movie when we see Cap and Stark beating the **** out of each other, it isn't because of the registration act, it's because Stark finds out that the Winter Solider killed his parents and Cap defended him using the excuse that he was being mind controlled and didn't do it willingly, unlike what you've seen in the trailer which gave you the idea that the reason for them fighting is the Act.

But the movie was good in more ways, Black panther was a very interesting character so was Tom Hollands Spiderman. The Airport fight was probably the best scene in the movie, it had all the elements need to give the viewer the feeling that these people are willing to beat the living crap out of each other.

As a DC fan and as much i hate to admit it, Civil War was much better than Batman V Superman. It actually gave you a feeling that there is an actual civil war going on, unlike Batman V Superman which promoted the film for three years and showing glimpses of the fight making people think it was going to be awesome, but it ended up being a very short fight with a very quick conclusion (Not saying BvS was horrible).… Expand

In both films their authors decided to create confrontation between "good" heroes, thus adding philosophical depth and psychological authenticity to the heroes. Also both films have raised up a problem of the so-called "collateral damage" and responsibility for consequences of superheroes actions.

While not referring to the question "which movie is better", I'll try to ask myself a question "why the theme of confrontation between the "forces of good" appeared in the film adaptations now?" I think the answer lies in the domestic US problems. Criticism of Bush's foreign policy and national security measure, I think, were essential in raising "collateral damage" problem and control of power in original comic book series. Coming to power of the "leftist dove of peace" Obama that has transformed now into a crisis of the US political establishment, manifested in the appearance of presidential candidates like socialist Sanders and populist Trump, tells about upcoming serious reformatting of traditional American values. What twenty five years ago has seemed unshakeable foundation of the US - individual freedom, liberalism, individualism, Christianity, reliance on the middle class, the belief in the "American mission", the constitutional rights, the right to freely carry weapons, the belief in the intransigence of good and evil (so- called "freedom values") - is increasingly shifting now to the so- called "safety values" - strengthening of state control and regulation, taxation, reliance on large corporations on the one hand, and people with low incomes, on the other, with the simultaneous impoverishment of the middle class, atheism, restriction of the right to carry weapons, moral relativism, non-interference in the affairs of third countries. This US' "offset of values", with the polarization of the supporters of "freedom values" and supporters of "safety values", I think, is reflected by the both blockbusters.

In the previous Russo's work with Captain's story we already saw clash of these values when heroes revealed that evil has grown up inside of SHIELD and its operatives and head were converted to the HYDRA's side arguing that security and control will finish the world's chaos. In this Captain's story the same message was hidden by Ross brothers more subtly, when right and wrong sides are not so clear. As in life, it is difficult to see the evil in someone everyone accustomed to consider to be a hero and who considers himself to be good (as well as all villains).

On the one hand there is Captain - the embodiment of the "freedom values" - who believes that you can not shift the responsibility for your actions on others including the state (like, for example, the Nazis did) or a coalition of states, knows that there "at the top" just ordinary people with their ambitions and desires, and that he won't become a puppet in the hands of cynical politicians only in order to get rid of guilt and absolve himself of responsibility. He is the embodiment of belief in uncompromising, absolute good and evil, inviolability of principles, justice, even if they are not supported by the majority, which out of fear is ready to give up freedom in exchange for security, to exchange risk-taking birthright for a guaranteed onion soup. On the other hand there is the Iron Man, oddly enough, the epitome of the "security values" - he comes from large corporations, he wishes to subdue the group's activities to external control, to absolve himself of responsibility, and thus in some way (how?) to protect others from "collateral damage".

If motivation of Captain America is transparent - responsibility, adherence to the principles and concepts of good and evil, even if they are contrary to written laws, as well as loyalty to friendship, the Stark's motivation is questionable. Does he made his decision due to the conscious or unconscious desire to split the group and take the leadership from Captain America, isn't there monstrous selfishness hidden behind the rantings about the need to "control" (again, it is not clear how such controls could prevent "collateral damage"), maybe it is thirst for power and, at the same time, desire to absolve himself of any responsibility for the "collateral damage"? Look at the motivation of the real villains (Commies, Nazis) - they wanted to create a perfect system with total control for the "security" of common fellows, who they sought, were unable to bear the burden of freedom. Ultron was alike, but he grabbed his delusion ideas from Stark. For me, Stark is the main villain of the film. He begins to pursue those who disagree with him - put a pressure on them, put them (Wanda) under arrest. It is similar to most of the tyrants, a typical villain who wants to trample his opinion as one and only and to eliminate all who disagree.

Behaviour of Black widow seems illogical - she is a clear candidate for Captain's team (unless she has stayed with Stark for sabotage like in the hangar scene). But suffering from guilt Wanda would rather choose Stark's side that allows her to shift responsibility to someone else. But she has chosen the right path of "growing up" - accepting responsibility. In the "Age of Ultron" she had read Stark's mind and warned Cap that Stark is "capable of anything".

Distracting from the current political and philosophical background of the film, it may be noted that in terms of action this Marvel's cinema-comics keeps the style and the brand - despite the seriousness of the plot, Marvel's ease and jokes are still there even during fierce battles. The flick is dynamic and quite fun, though perhaps not as deep as the "Batman v Superman", but more fully revealing of the motivation of the main characters.… Expand

"The Opening to Marvel: Phase Three is a simple: Oh, by God!"

"There was no way more perfect and majestic to start Phase Three of Marvel Cinematic Universe" This "Captain America: Civil War" Review contains some spoilers. If you have"The Opening to Marvel: Phase Three is a simple: Oh, by God!"

"There was no way more perfect and majestic to start Phase Three of Marvel Cinematic Universe"

This "Captain America: Civil War" Review contains some spoilers. If you have not seen "Civil War" film, please, do not read, this could destroy it.

A few years ago, approximately, five or six years, Marvel had in its hands one script and one proposal that possessed enough unknowns. That project would receive the name of "Avengers". The biggest concern for the owners of the company was supposed to make a film where not only a hero was the protagonist, may break the story, be boring and completely commercial. Two years later, on May 4, 2012, "Marvel's The Avengers" landed in all movie theaters, solving each and every one of those unknowns on just the first day at the box office. Today, Mayo 2016, "Civil War" increases its number of participants to 12 heroes and 3 villains. Will this be the film event of the year? I don't know, I can only assure, Marvel has lost the fear and perhaps in the next few years its projects could reach total perfection (Avengers: Infinity War Part:1 or 2).

Based on the Comic of 2006-2007, movie serves as a sequel to "Age of Ultron" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". After all the fighting and disaster in "Ultron", the Avengers return to discuss issues still more violent than in 2015, the death of innocents (something very, very similar to what we saw in "BvS", with Superman, and then say that they are polar opposites) and the dilemma, Does our help really help?

Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt, reprising his role from The Incredible Hulk) immediately ordered a conference to bring together to acclaimed heroes. After showing the dramatic and terrible consequences of their actions, it opens way for the culprit of this civil war. Sokovia Accords established by the United Nations. That treaty, aims to put each of the actions and missions of the Avengers in the hands of the United Nations for so, take care of each human life, taking into account that it will be them who decide if the heroes can act or not. As expected, not everyone agrees. They needed something for fight, here is their reason. After discussions, different thoughts, ideologies and equations, the decisions are made. 36 hours, two teams, a objective, an end, and Russo Brothers, Civil War has begun!

I affirm with all security and respect that "Civil War" has the best sequences of action of Marvel films so far, with sophisticated and perfect choreographies and training. A true example, and personally one of the best parts of the movie, the fight at Berlin airport. The presentation of both sides, literally, made me cry, its class, its style, its elegance and its professionalism to mix and combine each of the specific abilities (physical and emotional) of the old and new heroes, to create a scene of entertainment, quality and long, long fight makes that truly the public continues to support to "Marvel" for continue, (Curious fact: Directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski ("John Wick") are part of the second unit of the film).

"Spider-Man is the equivalent to Wonder Woman in Civil War"

Special relevance has the presentation of Spider-man and Black Panther. Their inclusion is appropriate, the first is introduced in way more relaxed and comic, who along with his fight and jokes makes this be the best performance in the Peter Parker story.

Another hero who had appointment was a Black Panther, an heir to the throne full of hatred and pain, perfect for his own movie and with a fresh and innovative appearance. In addition, other friends already seen previously are incorporate to the group as "Ant-Man", associating the world of past facts (seen in the films) with the present, something that really strengthens and gives coherence to the Marvel Universe. While many characters used this as a springboard for their own films (Spider Man - Black Panther), all boils down to the personal conflict revealed at the end between these three men, it is something that goes beyond policies, laws, treaties or rules, this is personal. Russo brothers take the decision after pleasing to the public with that magnificent fight, they there will be no more effects, flying planes, cobwebs, or CGI, for that moment, they weave meticulously a narrow path to focus on the three real protagonist of the story, Tony, Steve and Bucky.

And then, arrive the final fight, "Iron Man" vs. "Captain America" a dispute of friends. The fact that Bucky was defeated and they could fight each other was really fantastic, this is not a trick more to win more money, it is the destiny. Personally, I felt like the final fight between Batman and Superman, that anger but at the same time love, that hate but at the same time forgiveness , it created a swirl of emotions and thoughts that ended in fatalism. "CW" had all the unimaginable, and even the enigmatic and traditional cameo appearance of Stan Lee.

Phase three has begun. If Marvel offers us more equal or better products that this, will sound crazy but, they could reach the level and love of critics and fans to "Star Wars" . Goodbye to the cliché about Marvel films are cheap fiction and paste sh_t, quality exists. "Civil War" gives us a true contrast of "BvS", but is just as tasty, fruitful and exciting. "CW" is the best film of "Marvel" so far. It plants strong and resistant foundations to the future to come, leaving a hard and impossible work for Warner Bros. with "Suicide Squad" and Fox and Marvel (again) with "X-Men: Apocalypse" in May and "Doctor Strange" in November.… Expand

Civil War isI am quite impressed with Civil War, because beyond being a simple movie of superheroes, is a Solid, perfect, mature and dark drama. Who is the one who has the reason? That is the question I asked myself while watching the movie. Civil War is a roller-coaster of emotions, because unlike the comic, which all the time favors the Captain America, in the film both sides are defended with various arguments, so much so that you get to have great sympathy for the team of Iron Man.

The film is a drama, pure and solid, quite political, I dare to say that it is the movie of the Marvel universe more mature and serious that I have seen, in effect, follows this humor characteristic, but on this occasion it is not feel forced.

The action is spectacular, the choreography of each battle is very well developed and the battle at the airport is epic, fun, Brilliant and amazing, accompanied by a good soundtrack. The CGI may be the least impressive of the film, because sometimes the characters looks like a 3D animated cartoon. but those scenes are minimal (thank god)

Civil War is a masterpiece. The best film of the whole universe Marvel and probably the best film of Superheroes that I have seen.… Expand

The Russos and the writers managed to blend in the actions, mystery, emotions, and of course, the quips. "Captain America: Civil War" is an appropriate finale for the ever-improving Captain America trilogy. While it doesn't break new grounds in the genre ("The Dark Knight trilogy" and 2012's "The Avengers" have that honor), it certainly did enough to offer something new to the audience (In a much better way then the other Superhero vs Superhero flick earlier this year.

While some people think that the villain is weak and boring, I think it's one of the smartest villains in MCU. While a great many people see this is an Avengers movie, there are some (including me) would still see this as a Cap movie. The Civil War event and the other Avengers are build around the Cap/Buck story arch, a continuation of "The Winter Soldier". Yes, this is a busy movie (Also the longest in the MCU), but it doesn't feel that long and/or boring, thanks to the lighthearted moments

As far as box office go, I have no doubt this will certainly be Disney's 3rd gargantuan hit this year, and might possibly be the biggest of the year.… Expand

In Captain America: Civil War, disagreement overCaptain America Civil War is the thirteenth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.
In Captain America: Civil War, disagreement over international oversight of the Avengers fractures them into opposing factions - one led by Steve Rogers and the other by Tony Stark.
Civil War is definitely one of the best Marvel movies to date, and absolutely on par with The Winter Soldier which was also great. They are both on top in the Marvel Cinematic Movies ranking of mine so far. The conflict between these well beloved characters is done in a brilliant and fantastic way by the amazing Russo brothers who took the cheese out of the first Captain America movie , made one serious and great second movie, and build upon them both with the third outing.
Everyone does a great job here, Chris Evans has made Captain America his own same as Robert Downey Jr for Iron Man. It features a very big ensemble cast and not one of them is anything less than great on the role. The fight scenes are also some of the best ever made in a comic book movie, even better than in The Winter Soldier. Especially the airport scene is just mesmerizing and totally stands out from everything else that's going on. Spider-Man is also unbelievably well done and Tom Holland is just fantastic. I am one of the few people who actually loved The Amazing Spider Man movies, and really got mad to hear that they are going to reboot the character again but I can see now that it was worth it. The visuals are great from beginning to end, the music is also good as usual. The villain is something that most people though it was the weakest point but I strongly disagree with that. He had reasoning as to why he is doing those things, and he pushes the other characters in new directions which is also necessary.
I generally adored this movie, and even though I am a DC fan, there's just no denying that Marvel knows what they're doing and that is why they are much more successful right now.… Expand

It's emotionally heart-breaking and thankfully proves that Marvel aren't afraid to test the boundaries of their characters and relationships. The gravitas of this though, is only possible thanks to an efficient set-up that the Russos craft really well, that's littered with great action, exciting sequences and touching moments that all really click together.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: That super-efficient set-up does strip some life from the movie though, as the Russos don't give long enough in each moment to create real engagement or emotion. This in turn makes it feel a little manufactured, and less human than other MCU stories.
VERDICT: Whilst not quite engaging on such a human level, Civil War is expertly made, and contains the best final act in any MCU movie ever.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain America: Civil War is Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, and starring in the film is Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Tom Holland, Daniel Brühl, and Frank Grillo. Now, I know I wasted characters listing the cast, but it was worth it, because this movie was amazing, and very surprising. The film goes through multiple flashback for the first 30 minutes of the film, it shows where Bucky was before The Winter Soldier, Bucky was being kept under ice just like finding Captain in ice, but Bucky was in a Russian controlled facility. It was great to know that they did a bit more backstory on Bucky because it was still hard to figure out how Bucky became The Winter Soldier. The main story can be somewhat compared to the comics, it had some elements from the comics which were great. The cast of this film was unbelievable, for a film with this many comic book characters in one whole movie, the cast really brought those characters off the pages and onto the Big Screen into Marvel Cinematic Universe, and those characters that have been brought back and first time being on screen like Black Panther, and Crossbones, while Ant-Man, War Machine, Falcon, Vision, Scarlet Witch and Sharon Carter have been brought back after being in previous film in the MCU. The Biggest surprise for me was Tom Holland who played Spider-Man, he knocked it out of the park as Spider-Man, he was even better than Andrew Garfield which was an even bigger surprise because I thought what can be worse than Andrew Garfield? I thought Holland was going to be even worse than Garfield, but now I realize that I was so wrong, I mean Holland was hilarious, funniest Spider-Man ever. The whole cast really was awesome, I'm really glad that in the end they set up the Black Panther movie and they teased the new Spider-Man movie. Overall, Civil War was damn good, I cannot see how this movie could be executed any better than what I saw. I can't wait to see what happens in the next movie in Phase 3, Doctor Strange, 6 months from now.… Expand

Painfully boring with the exception of the airport scene. Spider-Man was pretty irritating, not sure if I could stomach a whole film with him. The villains plot is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Even more disappointing than Batman vs Superman. Nothing really happens plot wise, Civil War is honestly just an introduction for Black Panther and Spider-Man. Stark and Rogers don't come off as the main guys until the very end of the movie.Even more disappointing than Batman vs Superman. Nothing really happens plot wise, Civil War is honestly just an introduction for Black Panther and Spider-Man. Stark and Rogers don't come off as the main guys until the very end of the movie. Even then, The main villain Zemo was just more entertaining than either of those guys.

Honestly, It's not worth watching. You are better off waiting for the home video release. It's sort of funny really because critics praise it when it suffers from similar flaws that BvS had, Which they bashed the heck out of.… Expand

A much better movie than Ultron but it suffers from the same problems, namely trying to fit too much stuff into a single movie. You got a Winter Soldier sequel, an Ultron sequel, a backdoor pilot for Spider-man and Black Panther, a politicalA much better movie than Ultron but it suffers from the same problems, namely trying to fit too much stuff into a single movie. You got a Winter Soldier sequel, an Ultron sequel, a backdoor pilot for Spider-man and Black Panther, a political and personal drama, and a setup for the next installments... How about just making one cohesive movie?

My biggest pet peeve with those movies is that they're constantly taking huge leaps of logic which are presented as making perfect sense when they really don't. In this movie we're supposed to buy that Captain America and Iron-man would go to "war" over a disagreement that could have been easily worked out. There's also tonal issues where the movie jumps from ultra serious to slapstick comedy and it doesn't really go together. Take for example the airport scene which is great, but doesn't really match the tone of the rest of the movie and to be honest THAT is the movie I want to see rather than this tired, sluggish, forced drama. I just don't care about the problems of fictional country Sokovia, I just want to see a fun hero movie.… Expand

The heroes're divided and so the fans!

Before watching this I thought what the Avengers are doing here. I believed they got the title wrong. Once I watched it, I'm still the same. Because it did not look like the Captain America's film, he never was dominated, so calling it as his film totally inappropriate. Technically, it is a third Avengers film and well done. I liked it, it was entertaining. But the Civil War means it's nothing a nation's war within, just these super-guys fight for themselves against what kind of administration they want to come under.

I think they have heard that people's complaint about blowing up the buildings during reviewing other films by bringing up this one. So they finger pointed those events in this narration and that is one of the reasons for the Civil War to take place. Particularly disturbing the public and loss of many lives when these powerful men fighting the bad guys. The fun part is they are off the street and had a most important confrontation of the film in a deserted airfield. So does it make people who were whining about that be happy?

I don't know, but as an entertaining film, it did everything it can give the best for the viewers. Like the title and posters reveal, the heroes are divided here and probably you're going to take a side. Like usual, I'm with the Stark. So if you're like me, then you would feel the annoyance with the opposite team, particularly like Antman and obviously Captain America's rebellious decision. It was like the world versus United States, because only Americans are behind Captain America. Anyway, I did not like dividing the fans and what this film has been a serious damage. I hope the fans won't take it seriously.

Marvel continues to straddle the fence between catering to two demographics children and adults. And herein lies the downfall of marvel movies.

And herein lies the downfall of marvel movies. Whilst the 3d and special effects are amazing and can at times, keep you riveted to the screen, that is all the movie is.

The rest was painfully dull, the villain was boring and his plan made no sense. Tony Stark and Steve Rogers seemed completely out of character. It really feels like ~2 hours of the movie were just quickly hobbled together in order to set up the airport fight.… Expand
