The Russo brothers did it again!

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2016)

Wow, "Captain America: Civil War" is amazing. It lives up to the hype (91% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.5 IMDb). I loves that it takes time to develop the characters. Even though there are like 50 super heroes, each one is given a scene to give them a place. More drama than super hero movie. Very smart dialogue, cinematography, action scenes. There are stakes on both sides of the fight. I was geeking out over some of the character interactions we got to see. It's almost like one of those great season 3 or 4 episodes of GoT (with the number of characters). Really, the Russo brothers directed "You, Me, and Dupree?." How.
9/10 or 10/10. I'll have to see it again to confirm.
My ranking of the 13 MCU movies right now: 1. Captain America: Civil War Perhaps I'll cool down on my love for this movie... or I just love the Russo brothers' direction style. 2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3. The Avengers. So much fun. 4. Guardians of the Galaxy. Forget about the great fun of action scenes and characters, but the dialogue alone is perfect. Feels like I'm watching an episode of "Archer" or "Arrested Development." 5. Thor. Very underrated. The cinematography is great by Kenneth Branagh (director). Best part is of course the Loki story. By far the best developing of a MCU villain. 6. Iron Man This is where it gets hard for me. Downey Jr has so much swag in this movie. Great introduction, but I feel like it stole so much from "Batman Begins." Jeff Bridges is also a very poor villain IMO. 7. The Avengers: Age of Ultron A fun, good movie. I expected more, but it was still good. 8. Captain America: The First Avenger. Good introduction to Cap, but it has the overall Joe Johnston (director) middling director feel to it. 9. Ant Man. The "Ok, it was good. Not great, not bad... just good." 10. Iron Man 3. The Mandarin twist still pisses me off. Also, the Iron Man suits are all of a sudden plastic junk? 11. The Incredible Hulk. I remember REALLY liking the first 1/3 of the movie + Norton is good. 12. Thor 2. The Loki drama is fun, but Malekith is the most flat villain you'll ever see. Typical/ boring plot. 13. Iron Man 2. Downey Jr is great, but poor plot and villain (Ivan Vanko).
