Captain America Civil War
Enjoyable, though it may be my least favorite of the Marvel movies, which is a pity since I really like Cap. It did increase my love for Antman, though. That guy is ridiculously adorable. I'm also looking forward to the Black Panther movie. I really like that guy.
Further thoughts: The movie did an awesome job presenting both sides of the conflict, yet for some reason I kept siding with Cap and felt mostly annoyed with Tony, and I think I figured out why. Ever since Winter Soldier I'd been looking forward to Captain finally finding Bucky, and it was something I was invested in long before Civil War. For that reason, it was the storyline I had more interest in, with everything else just... kind of in the way. And, really, I kind of think this should have been two movies. considering how much Tony character development there was, it felt more like an Iron Man movie with a large Captain America cameo than it did a Captain America movie. I think Civil War might have benefited more as an Iron Man movie, while Captain America should have focused more on the hunt for, or rescue of, Bucky. Because there really needed to be more character developement of both Cap and bucky, especially Bucky who was mostly seemed to be a plot McGuffin.
I also must be the hand-waviest person that ever hand-waved plot holes. Or maybe it's the author in me. Or maybe it's because of the few Buck yfan fic and fan theories I've read. My sister and her husband jept wondering why bucky continued to run away if he felt so guilty about the things he had done, as well as ran from Cap. To me it made sense. The guy has to have major PTSD. While he feels guilty he can't bring himself to turn himself in out of fear of becoming someone's experiment again. He runs from Cap because he can't face him knowing all the things he has done. He runs because he thinks it's all he can do and that there's no other solution. Bascially, Bucky's a wild animal, the dog who's been kicked one too many times and wants to avoid that ever happening again, which means either running, biting, or both. But I do agree with my sister and BIL that it's something that needed to be fleshed out, which is why the Bucky aspect of the movie would have beenb etter off as it's own movie, I think. It's too easy to think Bucky some coward mostly trying to save himself, then comes his decision at the end which was kind of jarring.
Plus I wanted more Sam and Bucky interactions. There wasn't enough, and what little we did get was hilarious.
