Bucky, I know you were mind-controlled by Nazis, so youre not really responsible for my parents deaths. Im still upset, though, so I need to go cool off outside. Can you and Steve handle Zemo without me?

Spider-Man is in this. It is basically someone taking their favorite action figures and slapping them against each other for 2.5 hours.

Zemo is admittedly a bit of a weak villain with questionable motivations, something which isnt particularly new for the MCU but matters much more than usual given Civil Wars plot. Still, I found the whole Sokovia Accords scenario plausible enough to buy it dividing the bulk of the Avengers and putting them under fire. That leaves a crisis unparalleled in the MCU at fleshing out and showcasing its characters as humans and as superheroes alike.

I think Captain America is very annoying goody two-shoes character. Luckily, this movie is not all about the Captain but more like a mini Avengers movie. The Conflict between the Avengers are believable and intriguing. Really change the tone from a childish superhero vibe to a more mature thought-provoking storytelling.

I dont think this is an amazing movie, especially compared to those above this, which are all damn good in their niche or genre. However, I think this was the Avengers movie where it all really clicked for me (and it is an Avengers movie, even if the focus is on Steve). By this stage all of the characters are likeable or interesting (and no Thor! You cant imagine how relieved I was by that), and I enjoy any story involving heroes fighting each other. Bucky is a great villain in the first half, TChalla is a great new character who manages to get a solid arc even with as little screen time as he has, and Peter is just a joy in every scene; I would watch an entire movie of Civil War Peter mouthing off in cheesy fight sequences. The airport fight, while perhaps a bit too busy, is good and has quite a few interesting set-pieces. It doesnt feel like serious combat, but I think thats kinda the intention given they mostly dont want to hurt each other. Except for Don Cheadle. Poor Don Cheadle. I dont think the humour is quite as good there like it is in some of the other movies, but this is meant to be a bit more serious so thats fair enough (although the scene where Bucky and Sam are in the car watching Steve get off with his exs far younger relative makes me smile every time). The villain is fine, but the main conflict is between heroes so thats not a big issue, and I think that central conflict is fairly strong. Overall, it does what it wanted to do pretty well.

Another film that fell a lot on rewatch. When I first watched this movie, I thought it was incredibly engaging. Thats points above all else. Spideys introduction was good, but Tchallas introduction was phenomenal. I thought the actual conflict between Cap and Tony made sense. And I like that Tonys side WAS important but in the end, he got left with nothing. Mostly betrayed, or with people he couldnt depend upon.

There were many cute interactions. Crossbones felt kind of wasted. Sharon Carters use was okay, but not the romance subplot Id have wanted for Cap. Peggy was the best, but he had good chemistry with Natalie Rushmore.

I also liked Zemo! He was uninvolved, but effective.

It was kind of stupid that most of the film was just a fight at an airport, but theres good character interaction there. Kind of stupid how it all falls apart because Rhodey got injured.

Overall, best moment of the film was the final fight between Tony and Cap/Bucky.
