It's more of a Civil Battle

Rating: 6/10 (3 May 2016)

Even though critics give it much higher ratings than "Batman vs Superman", it suffers from the same main failure - the source of the conflict is not well explored or explained. Sure, here it is done differently, with longer shots of people talking to each other. But, it doesn't work any better than a dozen times more shots of stuff happening in the same period of time as in Batman vs Superman.
Also, there's not much war here, there's about one battle and a few fights. They're OK, but I do have a hard time getting excited about such things, it is all make-believe, so how can you say is it really any good? You can just say that there were some interesting new stuff - from Antman (let's just say that size _does_ matter) and Spiderman (who's fighting skills are, conveniently, based on "Star Wars" movies) and that there are no substantial inconsistencies.
I liked "The Winter Soldier" better, because it had "its own thing". This feels more like an "Avengers on a slow day" (i.e. not trying to save the Earth) kind of thing. And, of course, "Winter Soldier" had Robert Redford.
There's good stuff, too. Spiderman brings a lot of fun to the table. There's a great joke from Tony Stark about a particular part of Spiderman's mask, and there are other good jokes. The trigger for the final confrontation between Iron Man and Cap&Bucky is well prepared and executed (if a little cheesy). You may feel that there is too much chasing around, but, it sure ain't boring. It is nice that a movie as silly as a superhero movie explores issues of revenge, ego, friendship & loyalty and self-determination vs government control.
Putting it all together, it's an OK watch.
