It's a fun flick. Not nearly as good as Civil War or even Deadpool, but still very watchable and entertaining, especially if you let yourself buy into some of the more ridiculous bits and just enjoy the ride. Great core cast as Fassbender, McAvoy, Lawrence, and Isaac all have the ability to elevate their material above its innate corniness, though that also exposes a large gulf as the rest of the cast can't really keep up. Especially Sophie Turner.
@AGx07: A) Wanda's had first hand experience with Stark assets in the hands of governments and politicians and has more reason than anyone to not want to see that happen again or to join up with Stark. She sees the accords leading to The Avengers becoming exactly what she originally thought they were. B) Wanda knows that if the first step is a leash, the next will be a cage, and she will be the first one rounded up, and they prove it by trying to confine her to the compound.
The movie didn't do a great job of spelling out Team Cap's case in general, but all the pieces are there if you take the events of the Avengers and Winter Soldier movies into account.
1) Why does Agent 13 get relegated to a bit-part again? And, if that had to happen, then why was she even in the movie at all? That's two straight where is seems likes she was only around out of some contractual obligation and not because she had a real role to play in the story. Also, 1b) when do we finally get to see Emily VanCamp in a skin-tight, white catsuit? C'mon, Disney. C'mooooooon.
2) Where the heck is Nick Fury during all this? Washing his eye-patch collection?
3)
If Cap and Bucky have a huge head start going to Siberia straight from the airport in a freaking Quinjet, then how does Stark arrive at the base at the same time, given his necessary detours to arrest the Avengers, get War Machine to the hospital, and then visit The Raft in a helicopter? Did they stop off to have a top-secret chimichanga party with Deadpool offscreen? Does Tony secretly have the Time Stone? Did the time time-space continuum shift when Superman watched Civil War, realized it was a bazillion times better than his rivalry movie, and tried to fly back in time to stop Zack Snyder?
4) When is Spider-Man coming out? Really excited about that now.
5) Can't we get Martin Freeman more than two freaking lines? C'mon, Disney. C'mooooooon.
Civil War Spidey actually managed to wash out the bad taste of ASM2. After that, I'm actually excited for a new Spider-Man movie. Haven't felt that way in a while. Don't screw this one up, Sony.
An amazing, astonishing, fantastic, spectacular, sensational, incredible, mighty, uncanny, invincible, ultimate comic book movie. Not quite perfect, but one of Marvel's best films, and that's a high bar.
@rai1gun: Yeah, though on the flipside, DC has churned out a lot of quality animation over the years, while the Disney Marvel stuff is pretty much all really darned abysmal, even for kids.
