In the film, there are a number of silly defects that spoil the impression of the picture: from the cliched villain (plans and motives which I guessed almost from its very appearance) and ending with the exaggerated title "Civil War." This movie can boast the presence of interesting and funny characters. In general, the film manipulation deserves honorable 7 points and my respect, and remains at the level of the remaining parts of Captain America. If you're a fan of Marvel, or even movie-comics, then be sure to view, and if you are an ordinary viewer, who is not familiar with the universe, you can not even walk, still does not understand.

-A ton of glorious and satisfying action from a movie filled with superheroes.
-A somewhat deep story in which you understand the motivations of each character.
-Successful introduction of two new characters to the MCU roster: Spiderman and Black Panther. They were very epic in the movie, I found.
-A reaction to that question we constantly ask during these actions movies: "How are they superheroes if they destroy more than they save?".

To me, the only con to this film is that it is more than a film which rests on itself, as it instead rests on the many movies that came before it. In other words, if you have not seen the previous Capt. America and Avenger movies, you probably won't understand what the hell is going on. It doesn't really have a concise beginning and end, it stands as a development of the characters we already love.

If you have watched previous MCU movies, this is a must-see!… Expand

This movie is over-hyped plain and simple. With multiple plot holes and weak villains, However the action is fun and Spider-Man and Black Panther are awesome. I would wait until it on blu-ray or DVD and just skip to the action and Spider-Man scenes.

Captain America: Civil War is easily one of the best comic book films i've ever seen. Everything about this film met my expectations and exceeded them. It was easily paced, had some great character interactions, the action was awesome, each of the character's motivations were clear, and the lasting value of the movie was fantastic. Even the banter between the characters were entertaining to watch! The directors of the movie knew what they wanted to make, and they executed this movie with near-perfection. Seriously, the airport fight scene was better than the entirety of Batman V Superman. I'm not gonna sit here and try to crap all over BvS, but Civil War was everything that I expected and more. Is it a perfect movie? No, the existence of some characters were pointless, but that's all I can really say negative about the film. Civil War isn't the best comic book film ever made, but is it one of the best i've ever seen? You know, I think it might be.

Now to the review: I feel Captain America: Civil War is a great movie to kick off Phase 3, because it focuses on introducing the new characters while getting the audience to know the other characters more. Civil War does this so well because, in the comic, there are countless characters. However, the movie isn't the most accurate resemblance of the comic (obviously not comparing characters), rather the comic's main focus leads to the main focus of this movie. Overall, I feel that the characters were its first strong-point, the story was decent, and the action was its second strong-point. I do strongly recommend you watch this movie.… 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

The action and the characters were goodI grew up on comic books almost 50 years ago, and now I really enjoy all the Marvel movies coming to life. This one for me felt just a little off kilter and I can't totally put my finger on all of it. The action and the characters were good and the scene's were well choreographed. I also enjoyed the new additions-Spiderman featuring Tom Holland was a bulls-eye for me (they finally got the casting right, even though he might be a tad young), Paul Rudd as Ant-Man is a total hoot, and the new character Black Panther was an awesome addition. The storyline was a little deep and at times hard to follow, I do get it what the writers were trying to accomplish, but still I thought it took away from the sheer fun of the movie and made it somewhat a drag. A good storyline is essential, but the best ones for me seem to flow well when we have good against villains/bad guys. For me that is what a Marvel comic is all about, good against bad, not our superhero's against each other. Teaming up yes as The Avengers, but against each other NO. Still gave it a 7 as my comic book characters of my childhood years are well cast as they now come alive on the big screen!!… 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

Longer review:
As always in “Cap” films, we get a lot of exposition, a little bit of action, and a furthering of plot points for upcoming movies. It is very hard not to get the sense that a number of things are being set up here, but when is that not the case with Captain America movies (or Thor movies for that matter)? So this is my one bit of advice for any viewers – you are going to watch a piece in a larger whole, so if you are cool with that, please proceed with the continuation of MCU Phase 3.

There isn’t anything really WRONG with CA:CW, but there is not a lot that is really RIGHT, either. The plot is well-designed and well-paced (and hidden in the right places), but it isn’t all that exciting or plausible when you get down to it. The divisions and fractures in the Avenger’s team dynamic make sense, but outside of Cap and Tony, there isn’t a real sense of antagonism anywhere else. And let’s go ahead and double-down on that statement since Thor and Hulk aren’t around to beat each other up again.

And speaking of beating each other up, the fight choreography is OUTSTANDING, and darn near feels like the culmination of 50 years of wuxia. The special effects are also very good, and subtle in a way which Zack Snyder should pay attention to. The acting is plausible, and the humor is well-placed, though sparse. If anything, I would have liked to see more of Ant-man and Spiderman…both were a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stultifying room in my mind.

In the end, it is an OK film, but more than a little boring. It is definitely a worthwhile diversion, but definitely not “the greatest superhero trilogy of all time” (Cinemablend), “the most mature and substantive picture to have yet emerged from the Marvel Cinematic Universe” (Variety), or anything along those lines. It is simply another superhero movie.

With that being said, what follows is a general statement on the state of the MCU / DCCU (other than Cap’s recent adventure).

In comics terms, I think we have already passed the “golden age” and moved into the “silver age.” I liken this to the “golden age” of comics (30s-50s) where the idea of a superhero was developed and we received the big fellas/ladies – Superman, Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, etc. For my money, the “golden” cinematic analog would be: the first two Spiderman movies (what motivates a hero), Nolan’s Batman trilogy (who deserves heroism), the first two X-Men movies (rejecting the hero), the original Avengers (teams of heroes), and maybe The Guardians of the Galaxy (why not move them beyond Earth and get a little cheeky while we’re at it).

I think we are way beyond that now. The movies are well-made, but we are seriously in re-tread territory. Where we used to get treated to character introductions and serious questions, we are now squarely in the phase of world-building, mega-arc plot advancement, and revenue grabs. This is fine for those who are truly interested in the larger story and character universes, but unnecessary for those of us who are not completists. I liken this phase to the “silver age” of comics (60s-70s) where we received an explosion of characters, abilities, and plotlines, but not a lot that was really, really new from a literary or philosophical perspective.

My guess is that we will continue to be treated to new characters in stand-alone roles, and that will be fine as long as it is done in a creative way (Ant-Man, Deadpool, etc.). The rest of it should be expected by now: all Captain America films will be exposition for Avengers movies, all Thor movies are going to explain why/how the Infinity Stones come to be relevant, and the next Avenger story is going to take 5 hours to tell for some reason, etc.. And then there are the TV shows – tons and tons and tons of TV shows, each adding a little nugget to otherwise crowded mine.

As for DC, I suspect they have missed the boat. All the key questions have been answered, so they are pretty much forced to go “dark” (Suicide Squad, Vs.) or “historical” (WW), or maybe a bit of both. Unfortunately, both have already been done, so they better bring some serious heat. Otherwise, I think it might be time to move on…

…except for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, because that looks awesome. And Dr. Strange, because that looks like a mashup of Inception and Batman Begins. And the Inhumans…because…the Inhumans! Oh – who am I kidding? I’ll watch them all. I just need Marvel (and DC) to deal the interest-factor back up past 5 again.… Expand

Captain America Civil War is an achievement for the superhero genre. Writers Steven McFeely, Christopher Markus and Joe Simon along with the direction of the Russo Brothers have created an incredibly entertaining film.

I initially had myCaptain America Civil War is an achievement for the superhero genre. Writers Steven McFeely, Christopher Markus and Joe Simon along with the direction of the Russo Brothers have created an incredibly entertaining film.

I initially had my concerns that it may feel contrived; as that was how I felt reading the comic it is based on. I can say that I am quite happy with how they handled it all. Every character has their moment to shine on the big screen. One of the other concerns I had was whether Cap would become lost in his own movie. I can also say that despite the large roster of characters it still feels like a Captain America film. Without giving spoilers the plot is largely driven by Cap's relationship with Bucky. Of course this implicates other characters along the way and provides tangible motivations for each character. This is most evident with Iron Man and new addition Black Panther.

Black Panther as well as Spiderman are both introduced in an organic way that feels natural. It doesn't come across as ham-fisted or that they have been shoehorned in. Black Panther looks great on screen. His costume, accent and personality come across as regal which fits him perfectly. Spiderman is perhaps the best interpretation of the character we have seen yet. I couldn't help but smile seeing him in action.

The standout set piece at the airport is perhaps not only the best super hero action scene; but one of the best action scenes yet. The scene itself evokes the full double page spreads in the comics. I was entertained throughout and the film managed to run the gamut of emotional investment. At its core, its central issue is about two very different ideologies. Yet it is able to also provide comedic moments of levity mixed in.

A few of my criticisms would be that there is a bit of shaky cam in the first act of the film. The villain as is the case in many Marvel films isn't particularly great. Zemo and Crossbones have fairly limited screen time. However the bigger antagonists are the heroes themselves. The other criticism would be of the ending. (Don't worry no spoilers here). The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger and I feel that it left me wanting more. I was so invested by that point that I would have liked to have seen a bit more. The biggest take away I had from seeing the film was questioning what is in store for; and the future of the Avengers now?

Prior to seeing Civil War I think the Winter Soldier was my favorite Marvel film. I would say that as a film the Winter Soldier is the better movie. There were so many things I liked about Civil War though that it ultimately takes a close second. My opinion may change after a second viewing. In the end I think Civil War's parts are greater than the sum of those parts; but those parts are damned good.

And now for a PSA: Be sure to stay through the credits for 2 post credit scenes. Your welcome :).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While this isn’t the best Marvel movie featuring the Avengers' characters, it is an awesome and epic film from start to finish. The CGI was great and the fight scenes were fantastic. The fight in the airport between all of the characters was epic and stunning in every way and you can't help but marvel at the scene's magnificence. Another feature I liked about the film was that it seemed as the though the script was more mature and serious than some of the previous Avengers films. To be honest, I was getting tired of the constant humor and laid-back attitudes that were in the other films (e.g. Avengers 1) Civil War had humor, but the humor was in MUCH more appropriate places and wasn't so superfluous.

However, this film is not without its flaws - though they are few.

One big issue of mine was the fact that so many of the characters seemed very short-sighted and way too driven on emotion rather than reason. We've had so many movies building up to the fact that these characters are SUPERheroes who should be above succumbing to simple guilt/revenge emotions. But not just the superheroes, I'm also talking about the brain capacity of the civilians
Examples: The civilians who are mad at the Avengers claim they are angry because their loved ones were hit in the crossfire. But what would've happened if the Avengers HADN'T stepped in? This: humanity would be enslaved under either Loki or Shield/Hydra -- or worse, humanity would've been destroyed by Ultron Now it is true that Stark created Ultron, so the lady in the beginning's woes are somewhat substantiated - same with Zemo. But, in virtually every other situation, if the Avengers hadn't gotten involved, the planet would be in a MUCH worse condition. So to those who are angry at the Avengers for the loss of their loved ones: yes it sucks you lost loved ones in the crossfire, but guess what: the alternative ending to those situations would've been much worse had the Avenger not been there! Why could the writers not understand this simple fact?

My next example is Stark at the end: Stark, you're supposed to be a SUPER hero. Yeah, that sucks that Bucky killed your parents, but how the **** is killing Bucky - who you KNOW had his head ****ed with - going to satisfy your revenge? You know damn well it was all Hydra's doing, so why take it out on Bucky? Hell, Stark even says "I don't care" when Cap explains the experiments that Hydra conducted on Bucky. Like wtf?? How the **** are you supposed to convince me you're fighting for a noble cause when your actions lack any solid reasoning and are purely fueled by the revenge emotion? ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU IGNORE FACTS THAT PROVE YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE FEELING REVENGE!

My next problem is Cap and Bucky: WHY THE **** DIDN'T YOU TELL EVERYONE THAT BUCKY WASN'T THE ASSASSIN THE SECOND YOU GUYS GOT ARRESTED?? Yeah, they might not have believed you, but the key word is MIGHT. And furthermore, when has CAPTAIN AMERICA ever exhibited qualities of that of a repetitive liar?? So if Cap were to make the unexpected claim that Bucky was innocent of the bombing, there is a good chance that he would've been believed. BOTH Cap and Bucky waited insanely long to tell the others that Bucky was innocent of the Vienna bombing and it drove me nuts.

Another problem: The ending fight ends rather abruptly with a weak resolution or end to any major dilemma -- Bucky still lives, and now iron man doesn't have a suit... its like: "Was that all the fight was about?" Because if so, it seems that the motivation for the fight was weak to begin with - what the hell was even achieved during that ending fight? What dilemma was resolved? Just a good amount of punches and suddenly everyone is ok with each other? The fact that it was only to save/kill Bucky made the fight seem a bit shallow as a whole. However, I guess you could argue that this fight symbolizes Cap's parting from the official Avengers as he leaves Tony and drops his shield.

My last issue with the film is my biggest one:
To be clear, Zemo's objective was to kill the Avengers to quench his thirst for revenge, but in the end he only gets TWO OF THE AVENGERS TO FOLLOW HIM. Did he forget about all of the other Avengers like Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, Hulk, Vision, and scarlet witch?? Even if Cap and Iron man died- what about the others??? Hawkeye, Falcon, and Scarlet witch are all locked up and can't go anywhere. Not to mention the fact that no one knows where Thor and Hulk are. So how are you supposed to kill them? Heck, WAS Zemo even planning to kill the others? Since Zemo was about to commit suicide in the end, it's evident he was satisfied with only Cap and Iron Man's death, which hardly makes sense considering THERE WERE MULTIPLE AVENGERS IN SOKOVIA. So why is he satisfied with only the deaths of Cap and Iron Man?

Even though the film had some annoying and easily avoidable inconsistencies and problems, it was still a kickass film. I really enjoyed the film overall. 4/5 would recommend.… Expand

La película esta muy bien balanceada en cuanto a acción y drama, cada diálogo sirve para entender mejor las diferencias en los puntos de vista y comprender que ambos bandos tienen en parte razón. Como plataforma para introducir al UCM a Black Panther y Spider-Man es muy buena, ambos reciben un poco de atención para entender sus historias sin irse demasiado por las ramas, en cuanto al villano es por ahí uno de los puntos cuestionables, a mi me gusto, Zemo es una actor que en medio de este dilema solo añade más drama para el quiebre de los grupos siendo un principal artífice para que el Capitán América pelee contra sus amigos.
En general la historia esta bien orquestada y el conflicto esta bien justificado haciendo que no sea forzoso ni aburrido el choque de héroes, mi recomendación es que no se la pierdan, estoy tentado a volver a las salas y darle otro vistazo.… Expand

We also see that heroes does not always win.Another point that needs appreciation was the visual effects.As someone studying software engineering I’m very strict about basic points and they did a great job.Everything looked so real and they gave us a fight scene that will leave its mark in history.To the ones saying there is too much CGI.Try shooting without the CGI and just good luck.I really believe that the visual effects is the thing that gets our favourite heroes out of the comics into the real world.Finally all I ask is just forget about your prejudgements and stop comparing this to BVS.Just enjoy one of the best comic book movies of all time.… 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

The return of James "Bucky" Barnes ( The Winter Soldier) and Scott Lang (Ant-Man), also gives us a lively take. The concept of Heroes fighting Heroes gives us fans a very refreshing take on the MCU. The film was totally mastered by the Russo Brothers and Kevin Fiege. I don't really remember if the Hulk or Thor were there in the comics at the Civil War scene, but the exclusion of them gives us an idea that they are preparing for other important events (Thor : Ragnarok!) and maybe World War/ Planet Hulk.… Expand

This film is a masterpiece in super hero genre. Almost every character there was well constructed. The film is well paced, the action scenes were great, the story was simple yet well presented. Even when Spider Man was introduced it didn't ruin the film's pacing or made his insertion seem forced. Black Panther may be a bit of a disappointment in the beginning but as the character develops he gets much better and matures more than Tony Stark. The villain? He wasn't even necessary, and yet did what he had to do.
Some of the characters question the whole new law thing and start thinking about their actions in recent events. It's not like the comics, but for me it seems that the director and the script writer did everything they could whith the resources they had.
I know that giving it a 10 may be a bit of an exageration for some people because there are better films than this one, but for me in the super hero genre this one is the best so far. 10/10… Expand

This is not Avengers2.5, although they are central to the plotting (can't have a civil war without characters) they arent the meat and potatoes of this movie. But boy are they fun to watch in different situations.

The plotting was done very well considering this could've easily become a situation of "too many cooks in the kitchen".
The action was top notch, don't think anyone else in film shows superhero combat as well. The punches look bone crunching and hey look, they actually get damaged when they get hit (unlike some other superhero movie I saw recently)

Let's talk about the villain. Some folks were saying he could've been taken out of the film entirely, which is a ginormous error because it would destabilize the entire plot. Zemo is key, and while his motivations could be "been here, done that", it made his involvement much more important. I would say it's the best villain I've seen in the MCU.

Although there are plenty of other moments I got a kick out of, my favorite has to be Ant-Man in the airport.

To sum it all up: A fun movie that was actually fun to go see in the movies, can you dig it?!?… Expand

The film's only true shortcoming is the villain. He was a good villain in the comics, but here, he's just another one-dimensional MCU villain who can't reach the heights of Loki or Thanos. However, the movie makes up for this with the best on-screen depiction of Spider-Man since Tobey Maguire. Tom Holland's portrayal of the popular character is both funny and endearing, making me even more excited for his upcoming solo movie. In short, Captain America: Civil War is a smart, thrilling and overall satisfying superhero film, and one of the best MCU films.… Expand

The newest installment into the Marvel Cinematic Universe that kick-starts the Phase Three movies with a very big shoe to fill because this movie is pretty damn amazing. I’m going to do my best to keep this review as spoiler free as possibleThe newest installment into the Marvel Cinematic Universe that kick-starts the Phase Three movies with a very big shoe to fill because this movie is pretty damn amazing. I’m going to do my best to keep this review as spoiler free as possible because there are quite a few twists. For that reason I’m not going to actually give detail on the story because a lot of it DOES rely on spoilers.

That said, I will give my thoughts on the story, and those say that the story flows very well. I know that some critics and reviewers thought that the beginning was a little too slow and they pushed the morality questions a little too much, but I completely disagree. The story moved with a good pace in a very understandable way and I was thoroughly engaged in it just as much as I was with everything else. I found it difficult to find plot holes in the film after watching it and I wasn’t bored for a moment. As always there are mid-credit and after-credit scenes. Not sharing what they are because spoilers but they are wonderful teasers and one a possible plot point in a future movie.

The film features not one main super character, not six or even seven, but TWELVE of Marvel’s biggest name heroes in, as you’d guess, an all out Civil War. On one side of the conflict you have Iron Man, War Machine, Black Panther, Black Widow, Vision and Spider-Man (Not a spoiler since he was revealed by the trailer). On the other side you have Captain America, Falcon, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Ant-Man. Surprisingly every single one is actually given a fair amount of screen time. No character is overlooked and they all stick to the personalities we’ve come to know and love them as. Special mention goes to Panther and Spider-Man both making their debut appearances in this film and both having their characters done perfectly. I was absolutely sold on both of these heroes from this film alone and now I’m eager to see their own movies.

Of course, being a movie with “war” in the title, it’s got to have action in it, and this movie delivers in a massive way. These are without a doubt the best action sequences Marvel has ever put out, and not just because there are a lot of characters involved. The Russo brothers took their time to ensure that every single character fights exactly as you’d expect them to based on who they are and how they became these super-powered characters. The choreography, style and actions are all brilliantly done to emphasize the individual fighters rather than just using some bland one-size-fits-all fighting. And it’s not just fighting as the action. There are several chase scenes throughout the film that keep your heart pumping, again emphasizing on each individual’s strengths and weaknesses in the best way possible.

The effects are just great. Of course there are things here and there that are obviously CGI, but for the majority of the film, I can’t tell what is CG and what is practical effects. However, there is a glaring issue with one specific set of CGI, and that is from the captions. For some reason Marvel thought that its entire audience has gone blind between this movie and Ant-Man and decided to make the caption of each location HUGE, WHITE, ALLCAPPED LETTERS that were plastered over the entire screen. Why they did this, I will never know, but it is the only time I was completely distracted from the rest of the film as it was painfully distracting.

Captain America: Civil War was absolutely amazing. It didn’t take any of the twists or turns that I was expecting, but that just made it all the more engaging for those that I didn’t expect. Aside from the mentioned caption problem, I can only nitpick to find problems with this film. If you like heroes, if you like drama, if you like story, if you like good characters, if you like action, if you like any of those and don’t mind the rest, then GO SEE THIS MOVIE as soon as you can.

Side note: I didn’t see the film in 3D, I only saw it in 2D. From what I saw, though, the 3D won’t add much, so you don’t have to see it that way.… 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

The fight sequences were outstading as they looked amazing as ever. It looked almost impossible to do and I was very intrigued to see that they managed to pull it off smoothly. This was the second Marvel film of the Russo brothers and they will go on to do the next two Avenger movies. After their success here, I am extremly excited to see what they will accomplish moving forward.

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

The gigantic battle with all the heroes is exciting and intense. The Russo brothers know how to film action and they made that present in captain america the winter soldier. The humor was sprinkled well throughout and mixed well with the serious tone. There is one gripe i have. That being spider-man. The scene with him and tony stark was funny but i felt he didn't really belong in the story. The actor who played him was not that great and he did not add much to the film. Other than that It was great to see the ever so funny ant-man and the new addition of Chadwick boseman was phanominal as black panther. So great story, drama, and thought provoking themes mixed with intense action make this a must watch… Expand

The plot develops very well as the movie deals with a lot of rather serious issues for a comic book adaptation and tackles a detail that I never fully stopped to consider before: the collateral damage and after-effects of all-out war. The public image of The Avengers is questioned heavily as the world attempts to have some say in how superhumans operate and serve in the defense of mankind. It's these much more mature themes that lend a lot of quality to Civil War. Equally impressive is the director's ability to have so much star power/super heroes on screen at once and never feel like any of it's over-gratuitous. It all makes for a great blend of action, fun and story development. While Chris Evans' Captain America is meant to be the primary focus in this adventure, it's the multitude of other characters that really help this movie shine brighter than even The Winter Soldier. Marvel/Disney have yet another winning movie adaptation on its hands and leaves a lot to be excited about over the eventual Avengers 3 two-part, sort-of finale to this part of the Marvel universe (at least, the assumed end as Disney/Marvel haven't signed the main actors beyond the next Avengers movie).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Went into this movie as something to do having not watched any trailers or read any info and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the other Captain America movies more and I still think "First Avenger" is the best but this movie seemed important in the Marvel continuancy and it's introduction of a new character and the conflict between those already present was good but it still felt like something was missing.

Iron Man is really starting to give me the **** he is just to self righteous.

I think the X-Men movies are more innovative in and that the Avengers could learn from then as it doesn't always have to be a Michael Bay type spectacle.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was great and did a great job of putting all these characters into a story and the story worked all the way through. I just wish they would have gone with the much more intrusting and exciting ending that seemed like it would of been much more exciting instead of the one that was kind of obvious.

If you are reading this and haven't seen the movies stop I don't want to ruin it for you and just explain the only thing that annoyed me about this movie. Obviously a fight with mutiple winter soldiers would of been would of been so exciting and made the end more of an intrusting twist and great climax. I was on the edge of my seat thinking this is going to be way better than expected.

They walk through the door and within a few minutes its explained that someone decided to have the winter soldiers killed off just so they could have cap and iron man fight at the end? I am just saying all that build up around an obvious fight at the end why not forget civil war and just call it Cap vs. Iron Man?

Marvel could of made it so they fought the winter soldiers in the end they changed a lot of the story anyway and it just seemed odd to kill off a better ending abruptly just to seemingly force theirs in. Did anyone else see the winter soldiers killed off and think wow this ending sucks but then we got a good fight between Bucky, Cap, and Iron Man. I just remember sitting through the credits thinking how the ending could have been so much better not that it was bad but could have been so much better.… 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

The Russos have yet again crafted one of the most compelling films out of a moral and emotional conflict which builds from previous films in the MCU.

Each character stands on their own, with each of them getting ample screen time. Chadwick Boseman and Tom Holland stand out from the rest as Black Panther and the new Spider Man respectively. (We have found our Spider Man finally!)

The action scenes are an upgrade from The Winter Soldier, and are worth the price of admission (That airport sequence is unbelievable). Everyone pretty much kicks all kinds of ass, even though it's against each other.

The humour is done superbly, didn't feel out of place and added that much fun into the film. Obviously Spider Man will definitely get the honourable title of having the funniest moments (Which isn't exactly surprising, but man it's so awesome).

The story may not have had the same effect as it's comic book counterpart, however it made sense to follow in this direction considering the past consequences from previous films.

Daniel Bruhl's Helmut Zemo was quite not the original character. More manipulative rather than the scientific mind with expert hand-to-hand combat skills. It was certainly the darkest Marvel villain yet and certainly leaves the film with some kind of damage against the Avengers, however he was overshadowed by the ongoing Civil War plot line. Much more manipulative than previous villains in the MCU, however he still falls to the ongoing problem of not memorable villains.

Overall, this is perhaps the greatest film by Marvel yet. As a team-up film, definitely the best, however as a Captain America film, it falls short to The Winter Soldier. Definitely a must-watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Captain America: Civil War is one of the best superhero films of 2016. It has a lot of great action that a superhero needs but it has a deeper plot than most other superhero films, which keeps you more interested in watching it. I found that the introduction of the new avengers Spider Man and Black Panther was great and they fitted perfectly into the plot and had reason to be in the film. The acting from most of the actors in the film was spectacular but I especially applaud Downey Jr, Stan and Holland. The negatives of the film is that it was not really a Captain America film and focused on everyone, instead of just Captain and also that the film seemed to focus more on Bucky than Captain. However this is only a small negative. Captain America: Civil War is a fantastic film that should defiantly be watched.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the most part, the movie was good. It is nice to see the bad guy win for once.

The movie had its bad moments, unfortunately. To start, the big fight featuring most of the cast that is used in the commercials, don't get your hopes up. That was the worst fight in the whole movie. The only one not pulling his punches was Spiderman. And then when some don't pull their punches, it is usually against a brick wall. It was suppose to be a serious fight, but it was played out in slapstick.

As long as the movie concentrated on the main story of the film, the movie was good. When the movie brought in details to shape up later films, the movie fell off the tracks. The big fight scene at the airport was not about the main story but shaping up a secondary story in the background. It could be said the that background stories were the relief, but that relief did more harm than good. The only good relief came from following the main villain.… Expand

It has great action sequences; great stunt work; and a great cast! Every superhero is perfect. Black Panther and Spider-Man steal the show, but Ant-Man is sure to charm you silly. I realize some people have issues with the plot, specifically what starts the civil war in the first place. The way I look at it is this: the reason for the civil war is just an excuse to get the Avengers fighting with each other. Yes, there are plot holes and things that may not make sense; but you just got to overlook that and enjoy the heart of the movie. Heck, logically speaking, the Avengers could have avoided the whole war altogether, but what kind of movie would that be?

There is one flaw to this movie, and I think it's a big one: the new villain. He's just some guy with an understandable hatred for the Avengers. However, his reason for his hatred is unoriginal and thus uninteresting to me. Marvel Studios just seem to have trouble creating and maintaining compelling villains in most of their movies which seems bizarre since they have a wealth of super villains to choose from. If you're going to have superheros, you might as well have at least one super villain, right?… Expand

The airport part is probably the best one, but the final fight in the movie is a close second. The returning supportive characters from previous films also play decent roles, which glues together the universe even better.

There are few segments in the early parts of the film where the CGI does seem like it needs more work but it is barely noticeable. The camera is also abit shaky on the early part. The main villain was great but his motives are anti-climactic. Overall, one the best Marvel film.… 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

I am not really invested or compelled by the characters. There is an effort here to create a conflict. Superheroes governed and monitored by an elite government like agency and the differences between who wants to go fall in with authority and who doesn't. It doesn't really resonate for me. It seems forced. The fun guys trying to be more serious. On a positive note, The new Spiderman has real potential going forward. It might end up being the most entertaining spiderman on film.

First off the Russo brothers,these guys have to be praised because of they way how they handled each and every character in this film no matter how much of a big or small role they had everyone fit perfectly,because not only was this a Captain America sequel but this felt like an Avengers sequel as well,and the film is just handled perfectly.

So this movie starts off there winter soldier and Age of ultron picks off with the Avengers team still being intact and doing their missions then as the movie goes by you start to see that the Avengers aren't so perfect as events from the first Avengers movie,Age of Ultron,Winter Soldier and Civil War it's self,reveal that people have died during these Avenger encounters and it was really never touched upon in past movies as they made it seem the Avengers saved everything and everyone with no added consequences and this is one of the things the movie does well in exploring what has happened in the past to determine everyones motivation in the film and thus the world starts to question the Avengers' methods and the civil war between the Avengers begins.

What really impressed me was how solid everyones reason for being on either team Captain America(against the government) or team Iron Man(with the government) was,and what I found amazing was how no team was villainized as both sides remained neutral and the decision was really left to the audience as both sides were correct and again the points and reasoning for each side is spot on(well done again Russo Brothers).

Now there are some new characters in the movie namely Black Panther and Spiderman.Chadwick Boseman nails it as T'Challa/Black Panther as he has his own agenda in the film and he is just epic as you follow him and his story throughout the movie as he is one of the best things in the movie because he was so different from any other superhero we've met before.Spiderman,man Tom Holland's performance as Peter Parker/Spiderman is just amazing and you enjoy seeing him for every minute in the movie from start to finish and I definitely can't wait to see more of Spiderman in the future.Baron Zemo is the villain in Civil War,before I saw this movie I questioned whether this film needed a villain,but Baron proved to be a good villain with good motivations.What I also found surprising is how grounded the villain was as he wasn't overblown or overcomplicated,he was just a regular guy who was against the Avengers for a justifiable reason.

The Action in this movie is wonderful as Captain America:Winter Soldier had some of the best Action sequences in the MCU and I proudly say that Civil War has better,more epic and bigger action than any other comic book movie.The Airport fight scene is just incredible it's fun and heavily entertaining and it's not that one fight scene alone that's done so well as Civil War has great balance with action sequences and character interactions and with all the Avengers including Antman,Black Panther and Spiderman,Civil War is a great visual feast.

The Balance of tone is near perfection as the movie is dark and grounded in some scenes,then just shifts to a light and fun tone with some humor as you laugh multiple times in the film and when the movie needed to be emotional and dramatic the Russo brothers made it that way.

Since this is a Captain America film,the focus always goes back to Steve and his journey after Winter Soldier and his relationship with Bucky/Winter Soldier.Their relationship is also one of the strong points in this movie as Captain America never gives up of his friend Bucky and their relationship is tested in many ways in the movie.Sharon from Winter Soldier is back and plays as Steve Rogers' love interest which was a welcome surprise too and Sharon also has something to do other than being a love interest too.

Now the movie isn't perfect(but it's really close),the Ironman introduction into Civil War at the beginning of the movie was a bit sluggish and although Baron Zemo was a good villain,but his end game at the near end of the film is a bit lacking and somewhat plot-device- ish as he makes the Avengers come into quarrel and you just find Zemo's methods questionable in order to move the movie along.

So at it Captain America Civil War is a film about friendship and family which comes with the struggles of it,one thing I have to point out without giving too much away is that the friendship message is wonderful crafted in the third act and in my opinion that's were the "Civil War" begins as the tag lines suggested in the posters and trailers "United We Stand,Divided We Fall", and this message is conveyed beautiful in the movie along with some epic action,fun moments combined with some emotional moments too.

A great movie and definitely one of the best Comic book movies ever made.Can't wait for Avengers Infinity War.… Expand

Disclaimer, I've been sick of Marvel movies since Iron Man 2. Ever since it has felt like pure repetition, with Captain America 2 being slightly above the rest, but not by much. In fact I'd say Captain America would possibly be the dullest Avenger in my opinion.

Somehow, this movie not only manages to best it's mediocre predecessors, it excels beyond them by a huge margin. This is the first time the team up didn't feel like it was meant to sell lunchboxes, but instead use a large ensemble to tell a complex character driven tale. The action is excellent, the cinematography sublime in some shots, and the writing is good. The dialogue won't be Oscar Worthy, but it's good and the plot is well paced.

As the team divides amongstAfter the events of The Avengers, The Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron and the beginning of Civil War itself, the Avengers team find themselves under fire for their unchecked use of power and civilian casualties. As the team divides amongst itself on the best way to solve this problem, a malevolent force works to tear them apart from the inside out. Civil War is a great superhero movie that asks big questions and still has the heart of the first two Captain America movies. It is a worthy successor to the series.

The Truth is Not Relative

The most powerful scene in the movie comes at Peggy Carter’s funeral. Her niece Sharon Carter gives the eulogy and recounts a conversation she had with her aunt. Peggy told Sharon, “Compromise where you can. Where you can’t, don’t. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say ‘No, YOU move’.” Rarely has a comic book movie been more resonant to the times in which we live. The world is upside down and it’s screaming at us that wrong is right every single day. Peggy Carter’s message is a clarion call to us, we must plant ourselves in the truth, like a tree and not be shaken. It’s a clear picture of Psalm 1,

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” (Psalm 1 ESV)
Steve Rogers is a wonderful model for this. His morality and virtue are not shaped my popular opinion or politics, but by something much more foundational and unchanging, knowing that there is right and wrong and that they are not something to be compromised.

Freedom to Choose

There is also another side to the coin. Captain America sees the inherent danger of taking choice away from the Avengers and making them pawns of a political body. He is fearful that they will be asked to stay out of situations they should be in and forced to act in ways they ought not because of prevailing political sentiment. There is a good correlation with the Jedi in the prequels, that allowed themselves to become agents of a government and not what is right. In the end the Jedi became compromised, realizing too late that they’ve been in service to the wrong master all along.

The choice to do what is right cannot be left to a committee and popular opinion, Steve knows this and willingly lives out that principle. In fact, this is the very reason Steve is fighting for Bucky. Bucky is someone who has had choice forcibly removed, enslaved to the will of an evil organization and been made to do terrible things. He is a microcosm of the question facing the Avengers team. Captain America shows his quality once again as he interposes himself between Iron Man and the Winter Soldier, protecting both: Tony from acting on revenge and Bucky from something that is not his fault.

Conclusion

Captain America: Civil War is a fantastic movie and honestly the Avengers movie we all hoped Age of Ultron would be. While I do have some minor quibbles, I feel Spider-man is shoehorned into the film and would have rather had his time devoted to other characters like Agent 13 or Black Panther, it does not detract too much from the enjoyment of the film. This is rated four shields out of five.… Expand

I 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 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

Most returning characters get flushed out a bit more rather than just serving as standard supporting characters which gives the film a bit more of an "Avengers" vibe than "Captain America." That being said, however, you feel more invested in the conflict as a result because you connect with the characters. It does a great job of setting up some upcoming solo films, but not too much in the direction of Infinity War (or whatever the Russos change the name to) which is OK for me.

TL;DR Fun movie that you can relate to and gets you ready for new characters to take the spotlight.… Expand

Captain America: Civil War is behind "Iron Man", "Winter Soldier", and "Guardians of the Galaxy" of being the best movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Or MCU for short). The movie has it's flaws, but that doesn't stop me from liking it. I don't know about you, but the Captain America series are the only movies in the MCU that actually get better with it's squeals. The action, the effect's, the humor, the characters, and it's stunt work has improved from the first movie.

What this movie dose so well is that it's really hard to pick a side, because both sides have a very good reason to be at each others throats. One minute I'm rooting for Tony, and the next I'm rooting for Cap. It's conflict like this that I couldn't decide for myself on who side I was on or who was right, but that's just the fun of it.

Tom Holland as Spider-Man might be one of the best adaption of the character that we've had. Sony studios has made over five Spider-Man movies and the two actors who played Spider-Man (Maguire and Garfield), did their very best of what their got, but didn't quite capture the character that we know and love. But the Spider-Man in this movie has a screen time of 30 minutes or more, and Holland managed to capture the character so perfectly that it makes Sony studios look lousy. He was excellent in the role and I would go as far to say that he was a billion times better than Maguire and Garfield (In my opinion). I can't wait to see more of him in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" that's out next year.

Speaking of good casting - Chadwick Boseman was pretty damn awesome as Black Panther. Boseman can basically play anything and I'm not kidding you when I say that, as he played Jackie Robinson, James Brown, and now Black Panther. Chadwick Boseman has some crazy talent and him as Black Panther was spot on casting. I'm looking forward to seeing his solo film coming out in 2018.

If you thought the stunt work in "Winter Soldier" was outstanding, then wait until you see the stunt work in this movie, as it was just....INCREDIBLE! All the heavy praise belongs to the stunt team for doing the impossible.

Now for the problems: Daniel Brühl is a boring villain. I honestly can't remember much about his character in the movie and that's because he was pretty forgettable. That came across a bit too harsh didn't it? It really sucks for me to say that, because Daniel Brühl is great actor and sometimes he can be the saving grace for a movie that's either good or bad. He wasn't awful or anything like that, it's just that I didn't find him treating at all.

Martin Freeman is a great actor and I'm glad he's getting more meaty roles, but he doesn't do anything special or interesting in this movie. Yes, I know his character is probably going to developed more in the next movies, but my problem here is that he really felt out of place in this movie. At times the movie itself completely forgets about him, so every time he popped back up on screen I was like "Oh, Martin Freeman is in this movie, I totally forgot about that". But that's just me.

The story was a bit meh and there was a little bit too much quick cut edits in the fight scenes that I couldn't get all that infested with. Now don't get me wrong, I like the airport fight and the Iron Man V Cap fight, because those scenes didn't have stupid quick cuts and I could easily see whats happening. I think it's the hand-to-hand combat fights that are too cutter for me to see what's going on. That's just my opinion.

Overall: "Captain America: Civil War" lives up to the hype of being a great superhero movie and being a good movie on it's own. Marvel is having a great track record thus far- with the box office success, great reviews, and many upcoming spin offs. Civil War is most likely going to win every fanboys heart and it's not hard to see why.… Expand
