Way Overrated Emotionally Void Blockbuster

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2016)

Okay, where do I start with my critique of this overrated piece of crap. First of all, Captain America: Civil War is by no ways a "bad" movie, it can be watched multiple times ( most likely three times) without getting stale and boring. Civil war has a few really entertaining fight scenes and even its juvenile humor works sometimes (i.e Cap kissing Agent Carter's niece...yuck), but overall it is NOT a great comic book movie or even Marvel's best movie yet. The best Marvel movie to me still belongs to Captain America: Winter Soldier because it made an otherwise boring superhero interesting all by himself.
With regards to flaws, Civil "War" has a laundry list the size of Texas. The characters motivations are deeply nonsensical. I mean what made Black Widow, who witnessed Hydra's takeover of SHIELD, side with the biggest hypocrite in comic book history: Thunderbolt Ross. She saw what made Cap paranoid, but still chose to back Tony Stark? Why?! Then there is Tony Stark, Marvel's golden child. Why would Ironman who refuses to share his extremely dangerous technology with the government willingly submit to the United Nations mandate?! This dude wouldn't even submit to the US government of which he is a citizen off and can actually influence its decisions given the fact that he is wealthy as hell. Moving on to the villain ,Marvel's Kryptonite, why is Zemo mad at the entire Avengers squad ( Thor and Hulk omitted for no reason) for the actions of Ultron that was created by guess who? Tony Stark. If Zemo should be mad at anybody it should be Tony, he created the monster that wrecked havoc around the world and directly led to Zemo's family's death. What did Captain America do to deserve punishment? He at least tried to stop the abomination Stark created.
Then there is the marketing department's greatest tool in the character of Spiderman. Why was he here? What did he do to add to the plot? Are you telling the audience that Tony is so manipulative that he added a teenage to his team without thinking of the potential dangers?! But again, Marvel movies are not made for audience's trying to think, its all about the humor mixed with a heavy dose of violence. Not trying to sound like a hater, but am sick of critical acclaim given to his movies. This film did not add anything to what comic book movies can be, it didn't make the MCU look consequential, it's just another Avengers movie winking at the audience to come back for more. Kevin Feige, a true genius IMO, has managed to turn film making into a WWE type business, which never ends and only exist to promote the next installment. In conclusion, the only thing i liked about this film was BLACK PANTHER.I mean, finally Marvel has developed the balls to introduce a non disposable black character. Falcon's actor is just one bad contract problem from been swapped out for another random and disposable black actor. Until Black Panther comes out I am avoiding MCU installments like the 10 plagues of Egypt. Am out!
