Wow that wasn’t the dumpster fire that I totally thought that movie was going to be. Now hear me out I was kind of feeling franchise fatigue after seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron. And when I heard that Marvel was adapting Civil War comic book series I immediately thought that it was very stupid. Then again this is coming from the studio that made me think that a puerto rican man running around with his glorified trash can lid. Also I thought that putting one of the most convoluted story lines into the movie verse. And the casting announcements really made me worried that the movie would become more clustered than my stomach after I eat taco bell. This movie isn’t really the best movie in the whole series but actually just a better Avengers movie than age of ultron. It’s a marvel movie and you know what you're going to get and that’s the problem. The plot was actually really interesting because that’s what arguments people happen today or even in the past. And that's what really intrigues me. I do not resent seeing this movie unlike a certain other movie (ehm batman vs. superman). I think I’m tired though of marvel action sequences. All of the action sequences except for two were editing kind of weirdly. It’s as if it turned out that these actors can’t really fight. After awhile it gets kind of boring seeing CG object interact with another object made entirely in a computer. I actually thought the plot was convolutedly good. Some of the themes don’t really punch home. And I felt like it was pulling punches that the comics were able to land. But I can’t really talk about this without spoiling the movie. So um spoilers. Bruce Willis is dead. You were warned anyways. So yeah. I was thinking about the parallels of Steve’s and Iron Man’s arguments to real life as one does. Captain America is clearly those people who believe America should intervene in foreign affairs. Iron Man is one of those people who looked at America when the Iraq and Afghanistan war and said well was all these civilian casualties really justified for the end goal? But technically this argument kind of doesn’t work in the movie when the bad guys are uncharacteristically just bad guys. Just an interesting parallel i thought about. So yeah Civil War good, not great , but not bad. But what do I know I’m just a sponge.
