Melodramatic shit. The story it is "adapting" had a ton of problems but at least it was interesting. This was not.

So a part of a building is destroyed when our heroes are fighting a supervillain and suddenly everyone is like oh the humanity the avengers are out of control. Hey, remember that time they wrecked New York City fighting Loki? Or when they blew up a whole country fighting Ultron? But oh no NOW a line has been crossed, for fucks sake.
Anyway, Tony has an impromptu moral crisis and decides that the avengers should be the bitch of the UN and a lot of people don't like that and so everyone starts kicking each others asses. Hooray.
The comic arc that shares its name (and not much else) with the movie, had like, some serious shit go down to cause the world to turn against its costumed defenders. Here, it's just manufactured conflict with no teeth or repercussions other than palette swap iron man breaking his legs, but does anyone really give a shit about him?
This brings us to the villain, a forgettable dude who lost his loved ones in the fighting in Jakoffvia and now he's back for revenge. This Baron Xenu is portrayed as a super puppetmaster who manipulates the avengers into destroying themselves, but he doesn't really do anything other than frame Bucky which is not really rocket science. Also, this supposedly genius mastermind just leaves the dead body of a doctor he impersonated lying around in a bathtub in this hotel room registered to his real name (this is actually why he loses).
All of the fighting is actually caused by the earth's mightiest heroes behaving like small children who are ready to beat the shit out of each other at the slightest disagreement,
The question I keep asking myself while watching this movie is 'why?'
Why did we chop T'Challa's origin story out of his own movie and fuse it onto this one?
Why do we have Spider-Man just randomly show up with zero explanation other than 'I know this guy'?
Why is Ant-Man even involved here? He has no stake whatsoever in this fight because he is not an avenger and doesnt follow laws anyway.
Why do we need to indulge in this masturbatory fanservice for people who just want to see Marvel's heroes pummel each other?
Why did I waste two hours of my life watching this glorified advertisement for upcoming marvel movies?
Just....just.. why.
