>I only attended this one because I had read the American critics (and some of the British ones who’d had a heads up). They all said, at last, a decent Avengers movie with ‘emotional depth’ and ‘moral complexity’, and now I have to question what planet they’re living on. Seriously, if this is ‘emotional depth’ and ‘moral complexity’ then my old cat Daphne can play the ukulele, which clearly she cannot.
>The rhythm follows the same rhythm of all these films: set piece, lame joke, set piece, lame joke, bunker in Berlin, set piece, lame joke, set piece. I’m assuming the ‘moral complexity’ is intended to be in the conflicts between the characters, but these conflicts are all so obvious and cartoonish that I absolutely failed to detect it. Essentially, the script exists only to take you from one CGI action sequence to the next.
>While Iron Man is for it, Captain America, who is more Brexit, quickly goes rogue and becomes a fugitive. This could have then set the scene for, perhaps, saying something almost interesting about government control, military might and divided loyalties, but instead it results in all the superheroes choosing #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan
>It’s been said that when a young boy has a toy in each hand what he most wants to do is to smash them together, and that’s what these films are. Maybe that’s true, and maybe it isn’t. All I know is that I’m done.
Marvelshills on suicide watch
Capeshit needs to die
Why didn't he watch BvS UC? That movie actually had interesting themes to say about the way America worships power and fear.
>things edgelords say
i can't stand it
i know you planned it

I too, hate DC mlady
Tip your fedora if you hat dc too!1
Hahahaha angry DCuck spotted
marvel has always been basic generic shit, it's for kids for fuck sake.
what does this guy expect?
One thing that really highlights the difference between the two films, and why I think BvS did a much better job was how the two main heroes fight each other in each film.
In civil war it's just another flashy choreographed-like kung fu fight with iron man and captain America doing all kinds of crazy shit to look "cool and awesome".
Mean while in BvS it's a real brutal slugfest, there's nothing glorious or glamourous about it. It's just them beating the shit out of each other.
In both cases it's meant to be an absolute low point between the two heroes, and BvS does that perfectly while civil war paints it as an "epic duel" or some shit.
Literally nothing but other critics were hyping it

kek, what happened with you, you can't choose images correctly now.
I'll watch Dr. Strange on home video.
I liked Ant-Man and Guardians Of The Galaxy.
No way I'm sitting through another Captain America or Avengers movie or Thor after the first two in those series.

100% agree with this guy, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to "get" it.
