I just saw "Captain America: Civil War" and my gut reaction is that I really liked it. I went into it with a lot more expectations than when I saw "Batman v Superman," and I can definitely say I liked "Civil War" much more. In fact, this movie is everything that "Batman v Superman" could've been and probably should've been.

Anyway, here's my review, and like with my reviews of "Batman v Superman" and of "Force Awakens," I'll warn before I get to the spoiler-y stuff.

Like I said, I really enjoyed the movie. It's a lot of fun and the movie is able to cram a lot of information into two and a half hours. This movie could have easily been three hours if they had chosen to spend more time on certain parts.

The new characters (or at least, the two anyone actually cares about), Black Panther and Spider-Man, were both well done. I really like Chadwick Boseman as an actor, and this movie definitely different didn't hurt that. Tom Holland also did a great job and is (so far) my favorite Spider-Man I've seen on screen.

The score is pretty good but not particularly memorable. I don't feel like this is a special criticism of this movie, since most of the Marvel films have pretty standard scores that don't ruin the movie but don't jump out of the movie as special or engaging.

The humor is on point. I know some people dislike the quippy humor that Whedon kind of introduced/perfected in the "Avengers" movies (although I am not one of those people), the humor in this movie is always great, even for more minor or smaller roles.

The fight scenes were kind of hit or miss for me. For instance, the introduction fight and the big airport fight scene are both pretty awesome, but a lot of the smaller fight scenes had cuts that were so fast I had trouble processing what was actually happening. Now, this is not a problem that as only happened in this movie, and it's definitely not something I'm going to hold against too much. Action movies are action movies.

I'll admit I was one of those who were worried when it was announced that Whedon was not returning to direct "Avengers: Infinity War" (Parts 1 and 2), but after seeing the Russo Brothers batting a thousand with both "Winter Soldier" and "Civil War," I'm pretty excited to see what they do with the next "Avengers" movie.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. It's fun and pretty fast-paced. If you like Marvel or superhero movies, you're already seeing this movie. If you like fun action movies, see it. If you like fun movies, see it. If you like movies, see it. If you don't like movies... I don't know what to tell you; I'm sorry.

Here's where the spoiler talk begins, so if you don't want to be spoiled, don't read any further.

OK, three, two, one:

I'm still kind of confused by the intro scene with them stopping the robbery of the deadly virus. I get that it needed to set up the collateral damage storyline, but a lot of it didn't make sense. Like, why were they stopping this specific robbery? Why did Crossbones (the guy from "Winter Soldier" who was all burned) have to be doing it? Why did he die such a meaningless death? Why didn't save him to be a cool or interesting villain? Why was he stealing some super deadly disease? Who was it for? I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too much, but it all just seemed too convenient to set up the actual plot.

I also kind of agree with the complaints of people not liking that nobody died. What a curve ball it would be if Marvel killed War Machine or Bucky or, I don't know, Hawkeye or somebody. It feels pretty formulaic at times. I mean, it's novel in the fact that heroes are fighting each other, but they fought each other in "Age of Ultron" for a bit.

Helmut Zemo was an okay villain, but I also agree with the people that didn't feel like he was a captivating villain, because he wasn't, and that's okay. He was the 'villain' but wasn't a true villain, like Loki or... well, there haven't been many super awesome Marvel villains that lasted more than, say, one movie.

The death scene of T'Chaka seemed really fast, which makes sense in the grand scheme, since they had so much to fit into two and a half hours, but it felt kind of cheap and there wasn't a lot of character development in that sense. I mean, I love Chadwick Boseman and I thought he did a great job, but they left a lot to be explained in the "Black Panther" solo movie, which makes sense because money. (But for real, I'm so excited for the "Black Panther" movie).

There's also ideological difficulty if you as the viewer don't agree with either opinion, as it can make you find the character representing the ideology you don't like to be insufferably annoying. But I really wouldn't say this detracts from the movie if you can relax about fictional characters for roughly two and a half hours. It's just a movie with a really great marketing team, guys.

Regardless, even with all of these things, I still really enjoyed this movie, and I left the theater wanting to go back and watch it again.

Anyway, that's my review. What'd you think?
