Diggedy Dave Reviews: CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR

@Forthas - Lol sadly I'm paid by no one.. just want to put my opinion out there. I strangely didn't find the movie Gimmicky.. and I normally find that kind of thing in movies, but this one just hit the right notes for me. The Dark Knight Rises was a miss for me.. But I'm not comparing movies as singular entities.. I'm comparing their full stories.. Spiderman 1 and 2 were awesome.. 3.. not so much. Ironman for me was a decline from their first movie down to the third, Xmen is the same.. X2 was great.. X3.. no thanks.. I'm just saying that Cap 1 ( which I enjoyed ), Cap 2 flipped it on everyone and blew ( at least me) out of the water in terms of captain america, and Civil war brought a team up movie together in a way that sings.. so for me yeah.. best Superhero Trilogy. Feel free to add more.. Love this kind of thing :-)

@Forthas - I can see where you're coming from. For me the extra Avengery aspects were just icing on the cake. This movie was first and foremost a Captain America movie, and never lost it's focus on that aspect. That's one of the reasons I really loved it. One can't help but compare to Batman v Superman ( which I oh so badly wanted to be good, I'm a Man of Steel apologist lol ). They both had so many elements and aspects in their films but Cap just seemed to manage it a whole lot better, while including 2 brand new characters ( I see spidey as new ).

Also, as I mentioned in the review.. the comic book movie landscape has changed so much. It's hard to take a singular movie and say it's a definitive better or worst.. Civil War is part of a whole, and I think now a days, if someone were to just jump in to this movie, they'd be entertained, but ultimately lost on a few things.

I loved Batman Begins with that whole realistic approach. It was a refreshing change, until they just went overboard with the realism through out the rest of the series.. Joker was great no doubt, but Harvey was underwhelming for me and I didn't care for Bane all that much..
