I'm probably not gonna make a lot of friends in this thread lol. While Civil War is a very competently shot movie, with fantastic pacing, and it's overall very engaging, I very much struggle to enjoy it personally. It's just so.....tame. Nothing of consequence really happens, which to me is just unacceptable for a movie called Civil War. Nobody dies, the one guy who gets crippled is gonna get all fixed up by Tony, and the movie ends with a wink of "hey don't worry guys, we're all still friends," despite the fact Tony has legitimate beef with Cap (who imo acts like an arrogant ass throughout this whole movie, but because it's his movie, big shocker, he wins the day). Really the movie was robbed of any suspense the second they decided it would be called Captain America: Civil War. It's just a shame. It's one of those rare movies where I came out of the theatre and when people asked me what I thought of it I was like ya.....I hated it, but you're probably gonna love it to bits, so go see it. Movie just rubbed me the wrong way. #TeamIronMan |
Civil War is probably the one I’m most interested in seeing again as I was kind of amivalent to it when it first came out. I just don’t think the plot made much sense. The honest trailer for it has an excellent takedown of this. I do think the Captain America sub-series is the best of the MCU followed by Guardians although Thor Ragnarok really elevated the Thor sub-series for me. But this is the point of the re-watch: to take that additional look and see if your views have changed and to discuss amongst friends
