Good movie - excellent in some parts

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2016)

After the high of Deadpool, came the low of BvS...I really needed something to wash out the BvS taste :)....and this movie supplied it....Of course, as comic book lovers will know, this civil war does has no relation to the comic book version...at times it appears the movie is more an introduction for the newer movies to come - infinity wars (which I am sure will be different to the comics as well), black panther (of course), spiderman (Aunt May was certainly a revelation, not sure how I will reconcile this view with the comic book version :) :). There are some passing references to other potential areas as well, but we will leave that for later....
some of the action scenes are excellent, though the CGI is jagged in some scenes like the black panther-winter soldier fight. Yet other scenes like the big civil war fight swung from exceptional to ridiculous (the giant ant man fighting) in a matter of seconds and then back to exceptional.
Spiderman finally turned out to be the wise-cracking teenage superhero he originally was and still is and the black panther act - costume, action and the bodyguard (when she threatens the black widow) was excellent - leaving me with a good feeling about the black panther movie. Of course, this means another spidey reboot, but I guess that can't be helped (of course, someone will have to explain how everyone gets out of the webbing so easily , and of course the young aunt may, rather than the young MJ we were used to during civil war :) :)
Overall, the movie is definitely watchable - not as good as guardians, but not as bad as the ultron movie (don't get me wrong - - action scenes are interspersed with emotions...yes, very very watchable !!!
