Dude....everyone in the theatre was laughing like every 5 minutes. It was really annoying actually cus I often couldn't hear the next line of dialog. Don't tell me this wasn't a funny, lighthearted movie. Yes, there were moments of seriousness sprinkled in, but they're few and far between, and lost impact, because they try so hard to make you laugh the majority of the time, that any sense of trepidation goes out the window.

Wanda killed some people. You don't see it. Just an explosion on the side of a building. She gets over it after Hawkeye walks in and tells her to get off her ass (that's like literally almost all he said).

Rodey gets crippled.....because they just stare at him falling for 10 seconds.....and Tony forgets his suits can break the sound barrier (seriously did all his toys get worse after iron man 1?) Whatever it's cool, we're quickly told he's basically fine, and at the end we see Tony is gonna fix him up, which was predictable.

I'll give you the fight at the end, which was by far the best part of the movie. Sadly, the movie then closes with a wink to everyone hunting that Tony and Cap will be buddies again real soon, and they don't even have the guts to leave anyone in jail for a minute. So in conclusion, the movie is called Civil War.....and.....nobody dies, nobody ends the movie in captivity, nobodies life gets ruined, and everyone is likely to meet up for drinks soon to laugh about how silly this all was. Bygones and all.

 

It's a fun movie. It's also a terrible Civil War movie.

 

Edit: As for what you said about brainwashed Bucky being stronger, I don't know if that's supposed to be the case of not, but Black Panther basically schools him even without his suit, and everyone else he fights at that point wouldn't stand a chance against him brainwashed or not. Tony only had a glove, Black Widow isn't nearly strong enough to match him, and Cap isn't around until he catches the chopper. So I don't buy that brainwashing makes him stronger, more ruthless of course, but not stronger.

1 - ppl at your theater had a wierd sense of hummor, anyway some levity is good in every movie, otherwise you have the depressing mess that was BvS

2 - PG 13 and all, showing ppl blowing up insta makes movies mature. Wanda kinda gets over it, she never stops being afraid to sue her powers, thatll take Doctor Strange's teaching, you cna bet thatll happen in a near future.

3 - IM cannot go from 0 to breaking sound barrier in half a second, he was far and after 5 seconds of falling Rody would be falling fast as crap already, and we are not told he is fine, we are told he can't walk and can't even get up by himself when he falls. Most likely scenario Stark finds a way to make his legs work while in the War Machine suit but he wont be able to walk while out of it, wich will lead to some interesting character development regarding how this affects Rodey head

4 - Ppl don't need ot die for something to be serious. Half the Avengers team is wanted by authoritys, the other half has lost public trust, the acords are still in play and you can bet all your money Thanos is gona take advatage of this when he comes to Earth.

lol why do the people at my theatre have to be the ones with a weird sense of humor? I went on the first day they showed it here in my country, in one of our biggest cities, most of the audience were probably major Marvel fans. The movie is just a quipfest man, claiming it isn't is simply wrong. Not even saying that in and of itself is a bad thing. People laughed a lot, nobody can say they had a bad time leaving a movie when they were constantly laughing. It's just not what I want from a civil war story.

I understand why they didn't show Wanda actually blowing up those people, I'm just saying that it was one of many things that had the potential of leading the movie towards the right tone, but ultimately fails (at least for me), because I simply didn't believe it had any real effect on her. She's torn up about it for like 10 minutes, and then proceeds to psychic pile drive her friend that she was giving with just a second ago 100 yards into the ground because Hawkeye tells her to get over it. I mean come man....that's just not good, or believable character development. And don't even get me started on how she gets to just do whatever the fuck she wants in the airport fight without anyone so much as throwing her a dirty look, nevermind an attack.

I'm not saying Tony had to break the sound barrier right there, as if it would take that, my point was simply that his suit is fucking fast as hell. It's basically a jet. I don't know if you're aware of this but a jet is hell of a lot faster than a guy falling. He should have been EASILY able to catch him. And it's not like his suit had to go from 0-100, he was already chasing a jet, so he already has some speed going. All he had to do was hit the afterburners or whatever. Rodey's debilitation doesn't earn it's drama. It's not a believable scenario, and afterwards it's basically treated as such. It's given like 1 or 2 follow up lines and then next time we see him, Tony has him walking again. Big deal.

I'm sorry but I disagree. If you don't think anyone has to die or stay imprisoned or anything, cool, that's your right. Glad you loved the movie, and had no problems with it. Personally, if you're gonna do a civil war story, I'm sorry but I need to see some real fucking consequences. Them being outlaws means dick to me, because guess what, out of all the ones that are now wanted by the government, which ones are gonna have their own films before the next avengers? Idk if the next Ant Man comes out before Infinity War, but aside from that, none of those characters even have their own movies. So the next time we see all those "outlaws" will be when Thanos rolls around and it's not like the government is gonna be very pressed about catching and imprisoning them when a mad titan rolls around and is destroying the entire planet or whatnot. It's not like he'll stop by the UN first sand be like yo guys need me to assist bringing in those criminals? No. The movie could have had at least a much more interesting start if half the avengers were still in jail and bitter about what happened and the time they'd lost with their families etc, but nah....they just spent a night in lock up. It's all good. So they have to stay low key for a bit. Whatever. To me, that's all just wasted potential. And of course god forbid anybody dies. It's only been like 13 or so movies. Why should anyone consequential ever die? That would just be a drag. Especially in a civil war story. Wars never have casualties.

 

Like I said, I think it's a fun, entertaining movie. I know most people loved it, and that's fine. I'm not trying to diminish anyone's enjoyment. It's just not the movie that I personally wanted to see, and that was really frustrating for me. I'm just explaining why.
