Now, before I get into this one. I would like to address the most common complaints I've heard about this movie. The first one being "I'm just burnt out witht the whole super hero thing" That, I can't help you with, and to an extent I understand, there are a lot of these suckers, and they're going to keep coming. Just keep in mind that really doesn't have anything to do with this movie itself. So, if you're burnt out with this genre it doesn't necessarily mean this is a bad film. Now the second is "It's nothing like what happens in the comic book." Well, of course not, I've heard the comic book (Yeah, I'm a nerd. Get over it!) There is no way in the world that would work as a movie. Despite the obvious problem of Marvel not owning the film rights to some of the sagas principles characters, ie. Reed Richards, Wolverine, Deadpool. There's just no way a film could be made to fit the scope of what all happens in "Civil War". So you really have to put the book aside (really, you should do this with every film adaptation), and enjoy the movie for what it is; a movie. That being said, I can confidently say that "Captain America: Civil War" is the best super hero movie since "The Dark Knight" and has become the golden standard for films of this genre. Be warned, if you are a fan of the good vs. evil, this film will disappoint you. It is good vs. good, hero vs hero. Whether it's intentional or not Marvel studios has set out to destroy the popcorn movie, making the line between art and entertainment blurry and unrecognizable. Most impressive is the way the film flawlessly adds depth and a personal element to every hero involved.( and there are a lot.) Marvel's resident funny guys Iron-Man, Ant Man and Iron Man feed off each other exceptionally well to create what is probably the best comic relief I've ever seen in a super hero film, which is a great distraction from the heart wrenching fight to the death between beloved heroes we've all come to adore. My only complaint is the title, mostly because it is in no way a story about Captain America, but a story about the Avengers, and their personal struggles to fight for what believe in while protecting others. "Civil War" had my approval and I highly recommend it!
