Captain America: Civil War

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

I really liked Winter Solider, so i was excited to see Civil War, but i ended up being very disappointed. The film tries to be funny, but the jokes are stupid and full of cringe. The plot doesn't make any sense under any level of examinationI really liked Winter Solider, so i was excited to see Civil War, but i ended up being very disappointed. The film tries to be funny, but the jokes are stupid and full of cringe. The plot doesn't make any sense under any level of examination and is full of plot holes. Only kids or man children could like this dumb film. The only positives i could give this movies is it's good action (the airport fight is the weakest) and performances. The guy who plays Spider-man was good, but a majority of his dialogue was awful, and sounds like he was written by a fifty year old trying to sound like a teen "have you guys seen that really old movie Empire Strikes Back" No teenager talks like that. There is also a lot of unfinished, weak CGI in this movie. Watch crude, hilarious Deadpool, or intelligent masterpiece BvS UE instead. I seriously don't understand why critics or anyone else gave this film positive reviews, but i guess critics also gave the terrible F&F7 positive reviews as well.… Expand

Spider-Man's engaging body stuck with me the whole movie. He is so gay, so he is my type. I love this movie, I give it a solid 2/10 for being the best movie of all time. My toes itch.

Seriously, this $250,000,000 catastrophe generated such vibes of disappointment and resentment in the audience at the 5:15 showing at the Arclight this evening that I actually thought half of the audience would...secede.

I leave the specifics of the failure to the professional critics. I'll just say that the 3-mile walk to the Arclight is always a pleasure and so is the 3-mile walk back.… Expand

Problem for me is the act has worn thin. This is Marvel's 14th or 15th film in this universe and they are trying to try to shake things up and try something new but it's become really throwaway popcorn fare. You are entertained while you watch and it's well produced but there is nothing compelling or interesting anymore about the Marvel universe that makes you want to watch it over and over again. 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. Kids will love this film. It's easy to follow and fun to watch. Great style, forced substance.… Expand

There are some really good marvel movies like Winter soldier, Iron Man and Guardian of the Galaxy. So for that reason i cant understand how some people love this movie, is not even marvel´s best, it has A LOT of problems, e.g. bad CGI, shaky camera, Spider-man, Ant-man and other characters were ridiculously shoehorned for the airport fight, (by the way a fight with no tension, thanks to the continuous jokes) the script is all over the place, a complete mess, and makes no sense. By the end of the film no one remembers the sokovia accords, and the moral differences that fuels the feud between Tony and Steve are completely forgotten.
But to me the biggest problem is that like the majority of the marvel movies, in the end nothing really happens, there is no stake, there is no consequences, and because of that there is NO TENSION. Marvel never takes a risk. This film could very well not exist, and it would not affect the MCU in any way.… Expand

The movie starts weak then goes downhill from there. Some of the basic components of any good story were left out: Rising Action...nope, the highest level was in the middle. Something at stake... nope, never felt any one or any ideas was at risk except their moodiness. Any dimension to the characters, nope... they were all caricatures, without anything beneath the surface. The Russo Brothers use to know what to do but I'm thinking the studio or producers took control or these guys have really lost it. The acting was the only thing that saved the film - though I lost a bit of respect for most of the actors for selling out (yes, they are crying all the way to the bank). Robert Downey Jr. use to be able to act, his one dimensional character was the most cliche because he was overacting most of the time. The first act is probably the worst, it was all over the map with political statements and cliche dialogue. It was like they took the headlines in mass media today and put them in a blender and then stuck them in this movie. I am more than disappointed, I feel downright cheated. The critics should be ashamed for their high reviews. This is one more nail in the Marvel coffin before we all stop going. After this movie you can forget me going to X-men. I will wait for Doctor Strange that hopefully has something more than this...… Expand

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

Interesting bit: in the airport fight, Vision essentially doesn't fight. This shows how the screenwriters were too busy drinking beers instead of focusing on writing, because using the character in the brawl was obviously challenging.

Everything was allright, the story looked really complex and good written. The drama grew with the tension and the feeling that something terrible and awesome was going to happen! But then... they came...

First: Burton, who suddently came and ruined the situation with his humor... meh... after that, without any good reason, IronMan called Spiderman to help him, and HE-RUINED-EVERYTHING!!! Everything builded in 90 minutes totally destroyed by an annoying and not funny teenager that ruined and cancelled all the tension and the drama created in almost 2 hours of movie, why? No one knows... because he disappeared after 10 minutes... In the end it started again to look good BUT suddently Tony Stark came out of his character and did something absolutely weird ( the fight with Winter Soldier to vengence his family... why? ) So, a movie with potential but ruined by bad comedy / humor and stupid action sequences.. i felt disappointed, offended as fan and this was the proof that this saga is not good.
