Captain America: Civil War (Film)

[Neil]

As I've already said in the "last movie...." thread, this is an enjoyable film, but suffers from the same issues as the rest of Marvel's core Avengers entries. While a very fun time at the movies, there's never any real weight, consequences, or investment into the characters. Just another by-the-numbers Marvel film. 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...

I'd say there was more "character" in no.2 than no.3 IMHO... 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.

Oh, I quite like no.1 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.
