Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Friday A — 14 Sep 2016

I don't have to say this flick is good because everyone's already been saying it. What I will say is that I'm glad I don't have to defend the original Civil War books anymore, this is the first time I can say the movie is far and away better than the comic. Eat shit, Mark Millar.

This also seems like the apex of a turning point for the Marvel movies because this flick, Ant-man, and Guardians felt like they were more than just facsimiles of the comic books that came before them. Good movies that didn't have to religiously pull from the books and feel like a regular ol' action movie.

My only real gripe, being a Spider-man fan, is the piss poor job done on Webhead's CG suit and I'm not crazy about an 11 year old Spidey. But like I said it's their Spidey and not my Spidey from the books so I guess I'm ok with it. Although I still believe Andrew Garfield was robbed and his series had the potential to go big with Sinister Six, The Superior Foes of Spider-man, and the Spiderverse. And can you imagine him and Paul Rudd being Bug Bro's? Oh and Andrew Garfield was way better with the quips than the new kid.

Anyways, good stuff! I think from here on out when people ask me what books to read before a new flick comes out I can finally tell them they can just watch the movies that came before because the MCU is now officially its own thing.
