Alright, first things first, it's spoiler free. First thought : It's waaaaaayyyy toooooo good. As a person who have read almost all the popular Marvel comics and knows a little way too much about MCU, I completely loved it. Rarely, you see a superhero movie which does not have over the top non stop action or way too many smart wise-cracks. Captain America Civil War was a perfect blend of humour and emotions.
The film takes Marvel to new highs in introductions and character development. Winter Soldier and Black Panther being my favourites. You may hate Bucky Barnes for his wrong doings but Sebastian Stan plays it with ease. Chadwick Bosenan steals the show more often as the King of Wakanda.
Spidey was a champ. Tom Holland is to Spiderman, what RDJ is to Iron Man. Sorry, Tobey and Andrew but he's the perfect kid. Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen are more than just eye candies. Have deeper meaningful roles and dialogues. Will pave way for more female superheroes : Wasp and Ms. Marvel. Don Cheadle and Anthony Mackie are perfect sidekicks. How can anyone forget the new entrants Paul Bettany and Paul Rudd, probably the trickiest superheroes. Rudd, again rocks it as Ant Man and you know.. he has more abilities..
Well sadly no one talks about Jeremy Renner, I won't too

Finally MCU gets a villain who is at par with Loki. The manipulative Baron Zemo. Russo brothers know very well how to execute a Civil War storyline with limited characters giving everyone their own importance and screen time. The 17 minute long airport fight scene is indeed the best comicbook superhero fight. Great fight sequences and cinematography. Do not miss it on Imax 3D. This is worth your money. Can watch it again and again.
Also, the end dark tense battle keeps you on the edge of your seats.
Well, it can be said with confidence that this was indeed the best Marvel movie yet (better than CA : TWS & GOTG) Also, it was a third Captain America film, gave a fitting end to the trilogy, which in my opinion is the greatest superhero trilogy of all time. (In ranks of Nolan Batman series, well Dark Knight rises was bad though, but of course DC Fanboys and few opinions may defer) Russo Brothers knew their strength and kept it simple while Zack Snyder experimented too much (too many storylines at a time) with Bvs that is why the latter tanked. He should learn a thing or two here. On the other hand, Civil War, with the critical acclaim, is going to rake in a moolah. Expecting it to cross 1-1.5 billion dollars. It's a proper Cap film where we see so many dimensions to the character Steve Rogers. You can't imagine anyone else playing the role better than Chris Evans with so much brilliance yet. RDJ, is flamboyant as ever, since Iron Man. Marvel always had the perfect casting. My heart broke again when the dialogue 'He's my friend' 'So was I' dialogue came in. Gutted.
I went as a Team Cap supporter but at the end felt both were right on their parts. Yes, this film makes you think. Also, this movie is pretty consequential and changes the face of MCU before the Infinity Wars. Involving Tony's New Avengers, Guardians for sure, expecting Cap's Secret Avengers and probably The Defenders on the big screen.
For those who want to understand the film better : Please watch previous 2 Cap movies, also a little bit knowledge about Iron Man and rest characters is necessary.
Rating : 10/10. Kinda gets predictable for comicbook nerds, but majorly it's almost absolutely perfect.
P.S Russo brothers are making Avengers : Infinity Wars and their budget is 1 billion. (More than what BVS could ever earn.)
