[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 6888029, member: 710"] I liked the movie a lot. I think I prefer Winter Soldier, primarily because I personally coud just not quite believe Stark's rage in the end. Even though I can understand that he had a lot of frustrations and trauma* working against him, it just didn't quite feel right to me. And of course, the grand plot of the "villain" of the story seems to hinge on a lot of uncontrollable factors (like Cap, Stark and Bucky being the only ones to reach the Russian Supersoldier lab and them being able to see a video that conveniently exists...) I mentally compare Batman v Superman and Civil War a lot, since both movies central premise is that the "good guys" clash. Civil War worked tons better than BvM. Weirdly, I though thte main problem was that BvM was cramming too much stuff in it. But Civil War also introduced two new superhero (Spiderman and Black Panther) and had plenty of other superheroes in the mix, and gives them room in the story. But somehow, Civil War manages to integrate all this better in the story. It advances the actual plot. And maybe one thing they clearly avoided - there was no final confrontation with the big villain or some super monster or whatever. The Supersoldiers were already dead (I really wondered how they would cram 4 supersoldiers into the fight that hasn't had anything established about themselves so far - they didn't have to). The villain has no intention of actually physically confronting anyone. The fight is just Iron Man vs captain America, no extra enemy that forces them too cooperate. Which also makes the whole conflict more serious and meaningful. This is not just a misunderstanding, this is a genuine personal conflict that will take time to resolve or heal. [SIZE=1]*) 1) Parents murdered, and his best friend protecting the murderer 2) Responsible for Ultron and the deaths in Sokovia 3) Break-Up with his girl because he didn't keep his promise (a clever way to explain the seeming inconsistency between Iron Man 3 and Age of Ultron)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
