Captain America - Civil War

Yknow, I think I enjoyed this a touch better than the other "VS" film this year...
Wasn't bad. They did a fairly good job compressing the events of the civil war storyline into one feature film, while tying it into the existing movie continuity.
I'm assuming the events in this movie are very much "to be continued" though, perhaps another film under the civil war banner?

Anyways, for me this was probably Marvels best since Winter Soldier which I currently rank pretty highly.
It felt like the most "full circle" of the MCU stuff to date.
The surprise character that I'm sure everyone is aware of by now, did feel a touch "forced" into the storyline, but hey, it is what it is - he was for the better part enjoyable to watch and probably captured the persona better than any other attempts have managed - and the fighting style. Great.

It was a solid movie though. More Avengers 2.5 than as standalone a Cap film as winter soldier...but all in all, very well tied together, and the depth of character interactions and relationships grew.
It was jarring at times, actually pretty emotional at others.

The action sequences were without peer.
The hero on hero stuff wasn't bad.
The villain/s might not be what you'd expect either, but not in a bad way.

I feel like they did a great job here.
