No movie is perfect, but this was close

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2016)

I was warned before going to see this movie by friends that it "wasn't what it was hyped up to be" and for them it was kind of a let down. While I agree that this movie wasn't perfect, I have to say that I absolutely loved it. I'm a big marvel fan and this met my expectations for the most part.
I went into the film, firmly on "team cap" and left entirely neutral.
Black Panther was amazing! He was the best part of the movie. I'm all the more excited for his upcoming film. He was a wonderful character, very well acted and the groundwork laid in Civil War for his movie is encouraging.
Adored Tony's character. I was surprisingly frustrated with Cap throughout the movie. Loved Sam and Bucky; please get these guys their own movie.
I could have done without the Sharon and Steve romance. Frankly, I was really grossed out by it. You can't kill of a guy's former love interest, reveal his new love interest is in fact related to the former love interest, and have guy and the new love interest get together in the same movie. It was just very forced and awkward. Actually, I got the impression that the writer's viewed Sharon and Peggy as interchangeable. "Sure,the girl who you loved just died but hey, no worries, cause here is her totally hot niece who is just like her". It didn't help that the actress and Chris Evans seem to have little chemistry if any, something that carried over from 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.
Needs some tweaks, but otherwise, great movie.
