I really liked this movie. It was different, but in a good way.


Major spoilers****








Near the end whenever they build up a fight with the other "Pyscho Assassins" and it turns out that Zemo had killed then and instead had the video of Bucky killing Tony's parents and having Tony fight Steve and Bucky was way more gratifying than them fighting the other winter soldiers. And Black Panther reflecting on Zemo's motivation and his own motivation for vengeance was very well done. Great movie with great action and a great message.

I WANT A FULL FEATURE SPIDER-MAN MOVIE WITH THIS SPIDEY NOW.

Seriously. Tobey Maguire was good as Spider-Man in the first two films, but Spider-Man 3 and the Amazing Spider-Man films were shite. He stole the show.

Note: last MCU movie I saw was Iron Man 3, definitely gonna watch the others now. Loved Ant Man.

The highest praise I can ever give any movie is my willingness to pay to see it again in a theater.

I will see Captain America Civil War again.

In a theater.

Tomorrow.

It is that good.

As good as comic movie as there has ever been.


Falcon was awesome in this movie.

Hawkeye had a real edge to him.

Spider-Man was awesome.

Panther-I was surprised at how heavy his accent was in the movie. Interested to see how he carries a film with that.

yes- the reactions by Sam and Bucky to Steve kissing Sharon was great.

At this point I am convinced Natasha loves Steve...but he friendzoned her.

I am glad at least Zemo survived....can't kill all the villains.

Pretty much everyone was great.

I like how this felt like it closed a chapter, yet opened a lot new doors.

I'll say TWS was more suspenseful, but this was very rewarding.

This is more of an X-Men fanboy thing than a BvS thing.

The Internet calls it The Complex.

I'll bet nickel this blows Mutant Hunger Games out of the water.

What makes Spiderman work in the comics is, at least in part, that he jokes his way through situations where he's clearly scared. He's a joker right up until the point where he isn't and that point is when shite gets real.

All that aside, the Subway train scene in SM2 is a pretty perfect encapsulation of Spiderman as a hero: someone, who is capable of feats up there with just about anyone in the Marvel universe put who pulls his punches 99% of the time and jokes around while doing it. That 1% though (stopping the train) that's special and it's made even more special by contrast with the effortlessness with which he does normal hero stuff.

I didn't hate BvS but this movie kind of made me hate it. The way it flowed together and the build up of tension for the last fight really exposed BvS to me.

I was surprised by Falcon. He has always been a little lame in my book but the way he was gadgeted up in this one made him great in the fights and he was also really funny.

As everyone said, Spiderman was so good. Even the way he delivered his lines were absolute perfection. I am assuming we don't get to see an origin movie for this Spiderman. Thank the lord!

Rudd is the freaking man. "Does anybody have any orange wedges!!!"

I just can't get over the action sequences. Simply jaw dropping.

Young Tony stark was a cool effect as well. It really looked real.

So, what was the end/end credit scene?


Spiderman trying out his new Spidey-signal wristband from Stark. Nothing major.



The dialogue was pretty funny. He was telling Hot Aunt Mae where he got his bruises. Said something to the effect of: "I got in a fight. He was a guy named Rogers from Brooklyn. He had a friend who was big. Sooooooooo big."

This movie was a masterpiece. It was simply amazing. My three favorite characters were
1. Spider man. I think this kid was absolute perfection in the role.
2. Black panther. His fighting style and tone just carried so well in the film.
3. Ant-man. This guy just had great comedic relief and his screen presence was great with a cast of bigger super heros.

Man, this movie was great.
As soon as I got out last night, I grabbed some extra tix to take some friends on sunday.

The action was great, though the initial action scenes seemed jumpy to me. What was even better though, was that as the story got darker, and the conflict increased -- the Russos and the writers had great short comedic bits to keep things from becoming too depressing.

The falcon/WS reaction to the Captain kiss was great. Falcon had nice lines and Ant-man was fantastic in his limited screen time.

As everyone else has said, this spider man was fantastic and it also showed his naivety and inexperience.

I was on the fence about the black panther movie, but the dude nailed it. I had a lot of empathy for his character.

Lastly, towards the end I was worried we were going to have a fight scene with the other WS's. I was glad that was not the case and that instead we had the more intimate and angry battle.

Great movie, with a lot to process.

One question: Who was Martin Freeman's character? is he a potential bad guy?

Favorite part is probably when Ant Man turned into Giant Man. Everyones reaction was just amazing. And then Stark's follow-up line of something like "uhh... if anyone on my team has any secret fantastic abilities, now would be the time to use them."

one of my favorite scenes in comic book movies. the crowd's reaction of "he's just a kid," and gets up to fight Doc Oc nails it afterwards

That's the thing. In the comics, no one knew that Spider-Man was a kid. In this current version it's obvious. It's the first thing that people notice when they interact with him.

Where was Nick Fury? And I don't think I even heard his name referenced one time.

Paul Rudd is so good as Antman. He is naturally funny and Antman has so many comic oppurtunities with his shift in size. One of my favorite parts was right before he turned into Giantman and he was running as fast as he could and you pull out and see that he has only run like 3 feet. I LOLed. It is also that he gives a perspective of a fan. He is a Captain America fanboy.
