Not quite as good as The Winter Soldier or Guardians of the Galaxy, hardly any comic book film is in my opinion, but a pretty good film nevertheless, better than Age of Ultron most definitely. If nothing else the airport brawl alone is worth the price of admission. For those who worry that Captain America is sidelined in his own film by adding all those characters, rest assured this is first and foremost a Captain America film.
Ant-Man, Black Panther, and Spider-Man steal the show. Best introduction any character could wish for, Black Panther is complete and utter badass, from his stance, behavior to his fighting skills. Imagine when Cap himself has to steal a car just to catch up with Black Panther. Ant-Man is probably the best comic relief character I've seen in quite some time, and...

I wouldn't go as far as to say this is the best Spider-Man yet without seeing his solo film first, but looking at Civil War alone he just might be. Everything I was looking for in both Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and let me tell you, seeing him interact with Avengers is something else, I still can't believe Marvel got Spidey back.
I actually like the main villain, surprisingly given MCU's track with villains and the fact that Zemo is only Zemo in name in Civil War. His motives were simple yet human, somewhat even sympathetic, and while his plan was convoluted at times...
SPOILER!!:
The fighting choreography is on the same level as The Winter Soldier if not better, bit of shaky cam but otherwise out of this world. The airport brawl is arguably the best action sequence I have ever seen, as I've already mentioned it alone is well worth the price of admission.
Civil War is not without its flaws. It was quite frankly dull at times, there were few scenes and characters, primarily Sharon Carter and Martin Freeman, who by the way was criminally underused, I could have lived without. I feel Vision got the short end of the stick after being the best part of Age of Ultron, I did however like his chemistry with Scarlet Witch. Spider-Man's CGI was piss poor at times. My biggest beef though...
SPOILER!!:
After The Winter Soldier and Civil War I feel MCU is in good hands with Russo brothers.
For those who have seen the film what did you think of it?
