They've found a formula that works, but the problem is that it's already becoming old and overused, so they really need to shake things up and take more chances like they have with Guardians, Daredevil(TV series) or the upcoming Doctor Strange.

    Worth the price of admission, but it comes with pacing issues, character issues, and generally some of the same problems as Batman V Superman. The Spiderman and Ant-man scenes are definitely a highlight of Civil War, though!
    I'd say there was more "character" in no.2 than no.3 IMHO...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I'd agree with that. Winter Soldier has been the best film out of the Captain America trilogy. Most likely because they took chances and tried to make a different film rather than another basic avenger plot. Civil War might as well be called Avengers 3 rather than Captain America 3! I'm not a fan of the first Cap film at all, so I definitely agree that The Winter Soldier is at the front of the pack.

    Ditto. A jolly good romp, like a war comic from the era, and it provides a stark contrast to the much murkier and complex world of the 21st century which Rogers later found himself in.

    And what was nice was how story threads of No.1 followed so nicely into No.2.
