Calling this a "Captain America" movie is perhaps a bit disingenuous.

Figured as much but I guess they wanted Cap to have a trilogy.

If it makes you feel better, it seems like 90% of the reviews say it is very much a Cap movie.

Disingenuous is to expect a Civil War with Cap warring against himself.

If it makes you feel better, it seems like 90% of the reviews say it is very much a Cap movie.

Even if the tally each character's screen time and it's found that Cap is in this movie more than all the others, it still feels like an Avengers movie to me. The movie is well balanced but it goes beyond Captain America and his POV.

I'm not really hung up on whether it's really a Cap/Avengers movie, it was a good movie.

Amazing, so far 41 positive reviews and only one negative review, for a 98% total RT score.

We all have to face facts that for the majority of future MCU films especially sequels that true solo films make little sense in a shared universe when you only get 2-3 films a year at best.

Besides the banter between certain characters is some of the best parts which does make me wonder how Thor 3 will work with Thor and Hulk

Hopefully they'll finally let Hulk talk.

Hopefully they'll finally let Hulk talk.

I pray for this, i dont like my hulk acting like a 2yr old gorilla. Hulk keeps getting the big shots in at the end of each avengers movie yet he doesnt yell about being the strongest there is once. Yet he can work buttons on a quinn jet, atleast the video off button.

was there ever any doubt from anyone anywhere that civil war wouldn't be a critical darling? they could glide by on reputation alone at this point.

^^^The movie is actually good.

I won't use absolutes like "it's the best movie ever" because I don't believe there is one. Civil War is a well rounded good movie.

This is easily the best Marvel movie. They absolutely nailed it. Not only is this the best Cap has ever been on screen, it's the best for both Tony and Spidey.

Normally, I would be worried about over-hyping this movie, but it more than meets expectations, then surpasses them. This is the culmination of long-form superhero storytelling in movies and it is glorious.

Enjoy!

So much this. I was initially worried that the trailers and tv spots spoiled all the best bits but....WOW, boy was I surprised, elated and so happy to watch this movie. It does exceed expectation.
