Ant-Man grow/fight sequence, when Black Panther, War Machine, Spiderman and Vision were working together to take him out, is one of the most entertaining action sequences in any of the MCU films to date, and arguably comicbook movies in general. Batman vs Superman had large scale destruction, but the Civil War action scenes were simply done [B]better
Saw it yesterday. And to be honest... I thought it was rather disappointing. It's fun to watch, but I don't get the high ratings.
I was supercritical when The Winter Soldier came out, but I loved it.
I didn't know what to expect from Guardians, but it's great.
This one was supposed to be awesome... and it left me rather underwhelmed.
Here are my main issues with it:
1. The first 45 minutes are kinda boring despite two great fight sequences. But this length all centres around... a piece of paper that needs to be signed. I didn't quite get the gravitas of that document that would cause such a great rift between these guys that stood together DESPITE their differences.
And then there's all that talk about that document... Phantom Menace anyone?
2. Great fight at the airport but... again... I found it quite hard to go along with these guys suddenly wanting to tear each other's heads off. It just didn't gel with me.
3. In the end it's all a rather flimsy revenge story by
Spoiler:
a Sokovian ex-military guy angry that his family was killed in Sokovia. Boohoo... and then he manages to lure all of these great heroes with, yes it's true, a FORGED photograph into massive fighting. And then there's a ridiculously elaborate scheme dealing with an obscurely obtained security video that was somehow moved (by whom) from America to a secret location in Siberia... and then our villain goes there to... err... NOT awaken the other Winter Soldiers but to make Cap and Iron Man fight??? I mean... WTF???
So yeah... everyone's great and all... but to me it's not the best in the series. Highlight to me... was Spider-Man. Great new way to introduce him and... YES YES YES... he keeps talking during the fight. YAAAYYY!!!

Civil War is what Age of Ultron should have been:

Remember not to leave the theater after the middle-credits scene.Wait for the post-credits scene.
You're actually more than smart enough to do that, but countless others...
How does it stack up compared to the other MCU movies?
