Civil War is a civil bore

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2019)

I went into this film extremely sceptical about how they could make a superhero vs superhero and still keep alive the concept of a 'superhero'.... not only was it bad, but I was left terribly disappointed!
Firstly, the idea of a superhero movie is that everyone has a hero and a villain to which they can direct their love and anger at... this is the nature of human bias! Putting superheroes against each other kills the idea of a superhero movie!
Secondly, the storyline and plot conspire for me to take sides (see the human bias section), and I'm astonished by the sheer stupidity and senselessness of it!... a man who has killed people, and who has killed Iron Mans parents ends up being protected by other superheroes! Now hold on... simply no! The conclusion I drew from this is very simple...Captain America is a complete prat!
Thirdly, I've had it up to here with that mind control bird. I don't know what her name is, I don't know why she exists...please can she leave my screen as she is getting on my bloody nerves
Actions scenes are ok, but the battles between the marvel characters don't impress me much if I'm honest...the only reason this gets a slightly higher rating than it would've done....
1. once again Downey Jr puts in a stellar performance as Iron Man who is fast becoming a cult hero for me
2. The introduction of the black panther is interesting as he seems like a cool character, hopefully the stand alone movie will be better than this one
Apart from those two reasons, I won't be scurrying to watch this again anytime soon
