Tiny step in the right direction

Rating: 1/10 (11 July 2016)

This was a good movie not great in the slightest and no where near as bad as the MCU is normally.
The good parts: They cutback on their cringy one-liners for this film and it really showed their characters came across as human beings and not comedians dressed in pretty costumes. Iron Man has probably the best performance along side Black Pantha who is now fave MCU character, stark really progressed for the first time since IM1 and i really hope they can keep this going but I'm doubtful :/. Black Pantha was phenomenal his standalone is going to be the first MCU movie i go see in the cinema since the first avengers his narrative and script were handled very well, he was a serious character bent on revenge and no amount of childish behavior from Captain America or his posy were going to diminish his powerful intimidating performance, but boy they try.
Baron Zemo was a great villain! the first i have been interested in. I loved the portrayal of the character it was suchhh a shame how he only had 10 minutes or so of screen time. He remninded me of Lex from BVS
Lastly the final scene between Stark, Cap and Bucky surprised me it was handled professionally and a lot of emotion was put into the scene by IM and Zemo, Cap let it down again but it was easy to ignore his childish "i can go all day" comment after seeing the look on starks face.
The truly bad parts: Spiderman!!... sucked, nothing good came from that character or the actors performance. This is a very iconic character probably marvels most well known and one of comic history's forefront hero's who has told some of the greatest narratives in the franchise and how does the MCU build up to his arrival into their cinematic universe... they don't, they simply have stark say oh yeah i know a kid who has been fighting crime unequipped and out of his depth for months now risking his life and i haven't approached him yet because their hasn't been a way i can use him to fulfill my own means.... truly awful story telling. Once the character has been quickly forced into the narrative similar to how Visions entrance, he is given 0 backstory it is all rushed over andwe quickly get Spiderman agreeing to fight the most famous of the savior of earth(Captain America) who stopped both an alien invasion and robot uprising(started by stark himself) bent on ending humanity simply because stark agreed to pay his college tuition :S so technically he was a mindless mercenary in this movie. The "Script writers" didn't feel like this character deserved full sentences he wasn't so much given a script rather a list of one-liners to run through while a badly lit & animated CGI model jumped around on screen. He then vanished 5 minutes after being introduced leaving 0 impact on the narrative and all in all an irrelevant and easily forgotten out of place piece of the movie.
The narrative was OK if you can overlook a lot of the plot holes it builds to a climactic ending and sort of delivers. The fact that Cap didn't sign the contract baffled me he has already signed an identical one back in WW2 and he fought hard to get that right only to turn it down after what 5 years active at most given a lot happened to him in that time but it felt very out of character especially when his sole motivation at the moment is bringing Bucky in alive and the government is asking him to join a team which they desperately need him in, that puts Cap in one hell of a bargaining position he can ask for almost anything such as il agree to sign if you let me lead the team in a mission to bring Bucky in alive. Think about it the government get Cap as the leader of their team which would in turn convince every superbeing to sign up in return for what the price of bringing in a tortured brain washed American soldier with detailed information on hydra agents and the inner workings to their operations.... the government would snap that deal up in a heartbeat but what does Cap do, he decides no I'm going to be awkward for everyone for no reason making more enemies and more difficult to save Bucky. On top of Caps stupid decision making the actors performances just leaves you with the impression he is bored of being an avenger and wants a team of his own and that the whole affair is rather amusing with this smug look on his face in every scene.
My only other problem was the big fight scene with all the hero's this scene should be very tense and emotions should be running high but instead the entire thing is a joke theirs no atmosphere and any tension that has been built up for the main narrative such as the UN bombing and BP father being killed is undermined by the hero's acting like children play fighting the first chance they get. The scene is maneuvered from one couple fighting to the next by these quick interactions as they punch each other once then have an unfunny cringy oneliner each then we jump to the next for the same interaction it was awful. If you cutout everything Spiderman and watched the fight on mute then this film is fantastic! it just a shame that the comedian theme of the MCU managed to leak into this movie. BP represented my opinion perfectly during his interaction with Hawkeye the hero is attempting to be funny by saying "hey we haven't met yet my names clint" and panthas response is simply "I don't care" exactly how i feel about the MCUs fumbled attempts at comedy.
I pray they reboot Spiderman
