Matthew Rozsa Salon.com It is one of the best movies to ever come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, balancing engaging action set pieces and witty dialogue with intelligent character studies and ethical debates. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Aramide Tinubu Shadow and Act Captain America: Civil War proves that Marvel knows how to lay down a stunning foundation in order to detail an epic saga. Apr 12, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Captain America: Civil War is fun; it's too well made, acted and scripted for it to be anything less. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 11, 2016 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) The airport battle is still one of the best scenes in all of these movies, and the introduction to Holland’s Spider-Man is still such a joy and the best use of his iteration of the character in this series. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Denise Pieniazek A Sala Llena (Argentina) The battles have few moments of lucidity compared to other Marvel films, since it seems that there lies the conflict of this new comics universe: achieving the balance between fights and words. Maybe they should take more time to develop the scripts... Rated: 4/10 Jan 14, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies By the end things are much different. Characters have been impacted. Relationships have been affected. Most importantly it sets before us a very interesting landscape and the potential for some incredibly intriguing storylines.

Anthony L A perfect introduction to the 3rd phase of the MCU. The story, dialogue, and action blend in a perfect stew of good times. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/21 Full Review Jeffrix good movie to follow the story arc. a few issues with the fight scene with all the heroes. vision disappeared through most of it conveniently. and I hate watching iron man and cap fighting. But it's got to follow the arc I guess. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/21 Full Review DZ E 90/100 Love the nostalgia. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Audience Member To PC of course….to many music breaks to many “wanna be” touching moments. It had strong potential but fell off i’m glad I didn’t pay. I just watched it on Max. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Audience Member Up there with The Avengers and Winter Soldier. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Alicia W I only watched for Spiderman but it was still a good movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
