Meh. He lost me when he started yakking after eating a double quarter pounder with fries after only a few days in. Pu$$y. lol.
It was painful to watch. Sebastian Stan's performance was very good. You could actually see the actor's effort and dedication to his character but the script was pretty weak and with a bunch of nonsense. A two hours movie, really? Even the good performances from the main characters couldn't save this movie for being awfully boring.
5/10 only for the acting tho
Has a indie vibe the story told although not necessarily new, made you curious to find out if the main character finds himself...and in someway the ending provided that.
Sure, it’s overlong and it drags in places at times. However, there are many good moments within the film, anchored by another great performance from Holland. Tighter pacing would have served the film well, but this is still a cherry that is worth biting into.
Deserves more than the 67% at the time of my review. It's worth your while to watch but be aware that it's heavy. It has given me a lot more empathy for the type of life they ended up with. A tear-jerker at some points too.
Oh my god, Karen, you can't just ask someone why they're white!
Watching MEAN GIRLS for the first time was just one "Oh, so that's where that comes from!" after another. #iunderstoodthatreference
"Hey Steve, you wanna go ice skating tomorrow?"
"I can't; your dad is taking me to a Warriors game."
"Well, we can go tomorrow."
What? D.J. must be really stressed out about Steve not wanting to hang out with her any more…
HOW CAN JARVIS MANAGE TO BE SUCH A DORK
I watched this after I saw an article about it's feminism which I found really empowering. I was disappointed how Elle worked so hard for a boy that clearly didn't deserve her but after a while I realised that this was a pivotal plot point to show her journey as a character. I think it communicated great messages especially about how everyone should be taken seriously in their goals and that everyone's interests are important and everyone has something to offer. It's far from free of cliches but that doesn't take away it's position as a great film for empowerment.
one of the greatest feminist films of our generation.
I watched it after reading that it was a feminist movie. It's way better than I expected (though the french voices are awful) even if the scenario is really obvious. It's sweet and just what I needed in a bad time of my depression.
The bad point for me was the cliché of homosexual people.
I’m not sure if the ending made the story more or less creepy...
I'm really upset that MTV cancelled this show. It was refreshing and had a great cast of characters. I can only hope they renew it for some more seasons eventually!
That was crazy and I absolutely love it!
I knew he’d show up but not that version!
It would be a shame to sleep on this. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier subverts expectations and roles established by the Captain America films, primarily at how we look at American Exceptionalism. Duplicity and duality finally seem to be at the core and it's refreshing and interesting to know that basically the only thing keeping Sam and Bucky positive on governmental oversight was Steve himself.
John Walker's character is fascinating because of how it plays into and against Steve's traits. No longer is Captain America some altruistic force; now he functions even further as an arm of the military. Although Walker would have you believe he's doing everything for the greater good, the greater good is frequently challenged within Steve's arc. By setting up Walker as more of a stereotypical, arrogant military man combined with Sam and Bucky's distrust, the cynicism is not only pushed onto Walker as a Cap replacement but also towards American foreign policy as a whole.
This is something MCU detractors have been citing as fault in the franchise for years, the lack of any critical eye towards the American war machine. I am utterly enraptured.
The beginning was good with all the flying and stuff. It went downhill after that. Who the hell is the new Captain America. He looks like a right weirdo. It's only been a few months since the universe was corrected. I would have thought the whole world would still be in turmoil especially when everyone came back all at once. How are people supposed to get their lifes back and homes and jobs after being gone for five years!

I will admit I am a MCU mark. Now with that being said, this film is in my top 5 MCU movies. It should be 'Avengers 3' rather than 'Captain America 3' and I would've loved to have had a more standalone movie under the Captain America banner, but then again the overall plots of 'Cap' movies have always been grander then simply Steve Rodgers - Super Soldier. Don't get me wrong, that is not me dismissing this movie in the slightest, but merely a bit of food for thought.
For me, if a film exceeds 2½ hours and I don't feel fatigued from it, I don't have to do a deep introspection to know how i felt about it. Even with all the players and everything going on, Civil War manages to tell a fantastic story that has its own conclusion that at the same time acts as a turning point in a much larger story.
Really liked the tone of the movie and overall it was much better than the first one (which I also liked).
I actually surprisingly enough really enjoyed this. I'm kind of conflicted with Captain America. On the one hand, I think he's a dreadfully boring character, but for some reason I really liked both of his movies and they're probably two of the best Marvel films. Oh well~
The second hand embarrassment makes this hard to watch
