The things it does well far outshine its downsides, and it is a showcase that comic book movies can not only be fun and entertaining, but also thought-provoking.

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.

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...

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.

Human beings need someone to blame when something bad happens, and super-humans are not immune to this. Captain America: Civil War creates a filmic conversation about this theme.

Captain America: Civil War is the best entry into MCU next to The Dark Knight, one of the best comic book films of all time. From top to bottom, this film is brilliant.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 14, 2022
Like their previous work with Captain America, the Russo brothers make this movie a bit darker than their predecessors within the MCU, but without losing the humorous tone that has always characterized the studio's stories [Full review in Spanish]

[The] Russos' take on Marvel's Civil War is refreshing and bookends two phases of the largely successful Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Another reliably bombastic entry in Marvel's enjoyable Avengers canon.

Captain America: Civil War delivers on every level. The eye-popping action moves the story forward and the humor brings the tension down a notch or two.

In an era when superhero flicks hit theaters with the same frequency as bugs hit windshields, Captain America: Civil War still manages to rise above the fray and declare itself one of the finest pictures yet from Team Stan Lee.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021
Captain America: Civil War shows that the overseers of the MCU have yet to rest on their laurels. If anything, this film indicates that they are redoubling their efforts to prove their dominance is well founded.

Is this the best Marvel film so far?
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 30, 2021
The many years and films that Marvel Studios spent world and character building are what makes Civil War work so well.

At 147 minutes, Captain America: Civil War is probably a bit too long, but it has enough tense head-to-heads and eye-popping fight scenes to override the odd drop in momentum.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 27, 2021
All one can think about is the terrible waste of resources, technology and human skill represented by a film like Captain America: Civil War.

Never mind narrative economy - where's the story at all?

Sets about establishing an exhaustingly circuitous plot of betrayal, infighting, espionage, terrorism, and covert operations.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 4, 2020
On the surface, it's one superhero against another. Deep down, it's two friends being separated due to a difference in ideology.

Captain America: Civil War isn't a flawless film, though I'm guessing most diehard fans will be more in awe of it than newcomers to the Marvel universe.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020
