I pretty much hated the second Captain America film but the trailers for this one actually looked good, with an interesting conflict between Cap and Iron Man (who I love). As expected, I found the conflict compelling and was on Stark's side throughout the movie, which made it fun to watch. It was pretty usual Marvel superhero movie fare; critically I guess I should be harder on it. I give it a 1 because I enjoyed watching it this time, but I don't know that I'd particularly want to watch it again and it's as far from a 2 as a 1 can be.

1 I guess.

A week after watching Infinity War, something sparked my interest in rewatching part of this movie and I ended up watching basically the whole thing (skipped some scenes from the start).
It was actually pretty decent. In fact, it rekindled my interest in the whole Marvel franchise, which I've generally been pretty lukewarm on. I think after they screwed up the second parts to the awesome Iron Man and Thor I've just had my back up. I feel the need to rewatch Infinity War now.
Anyway, I loved the central conflict of this movie and I thought the drama action and characters were all good, but I got tired of everyone basically just losing their wits when someone they love gets threatened. Cap causes people to die because he wants to save Bucky (that should have been MUCH more focused on), the main villain's motivation is because his family got killed (so he'll go kill a bunch of innocent people, including Black Panther's uninvolved dad, on his way to getting revenge??), Tony goes mental and tries to murder Captain America when he finds out soldier!Bucky killed his parents, etc... Like, jeez, people, you are all deranged!
