My Thoughts
I will be the first to say I am not a huge Captain America fan (comic or film form) to this day I still have not seen the first Captain America film (and have no plans to). I will say this was in my opinion the best film of the three and one of the better Marvel films in recent memory. Most marvel fans know the story behind the civil war story arc and if you do not it is not essential when watching this film but it helps in the sense you will have an idea of what is going on. The plot/story overall flowed well together and was easy to follow for anyone who pays moderate attention to the film, it was interesting to see a plot that did not focus on a supervillian specifically, the plot for this film was different than most of the superhero films from the past, it does require the viewer to pay attention to get the whole story and I did like that. With so many characters in one film a worry I always have is screen time and character development. I will say for the most part that was not an issue with this film, most of the characters got a decent amount of screen time to allow for proper development especially the newer characters. I will say after seeing this film I am really excited for the Black Panther Film Chadwick Boseman was awesome and played the character perfectly in my opinion, the black panther fight scenes were awesome and I cannot wait to see his character more on screen later down the line, most of the other characters we have seen in other marvel films. and for the most did what we would expect from them, I will add that in this film I was not really a fan of Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) usually I am a fan of him any time he plays Tony Stark but in this film I just did not like his character, no specific reason he just irked me in this film. The fighting scenes in this film were very well done and I did enjoy the big War scene at the end between the two factions of heroes, it was kind of cool to see friend vs friend. ****Potential Spoiler*** for anyone who does not know Peter Parker ( played by Tom Holland) was in the film and while his fight scenes as spider man were awesome, the actor himself I did not like, his voice to me was very annoying and I could not stand it, I do not plan on seeing the new spiderman film and his hearing his voice made my decision that much easier. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 90% saying "Captain America: Civil War begins the next wave of Marvel movies with an action-packed superhero blockbuster boasting a decidedly non-cartoonish plot and the courage to explore thought-provoking themes". Overall as I mentioned in the beginning this was a good film and one of the better marvel films I have seen in recent memory, if you are a marvel fan or just want to see a Blockbuster superhero film I encourage you to see this film.
Rating

My Thoughts
I will not spend much time on a review for this film all I will say is that the film was extremely boring, wants scary in the least had a bad plot, overall the acting was subpar (especially the actors playing the children i thought they were terrible). there was nothing good about this film for me other than Radha Mitchell and I am talking purely on her attractiveness in the film for me personally. Rotten Tomaotes currently has this film at 0%.. I will tell anyone who is intrerested in seeing this film if they want my hoenst option to skip this film and save your time and money.
Rating
Do not see this film, no redeeming qualities what so ever 5.0/10!!
