I pretty much much totally agree with fancy_nancy and daichii, as much as I did love some parts/people - didn't expect to be calling Spiderman a highlight! - I honestly came out feeling disappointed, which I think is 70% on my ridiculously high expectations from online hype and the amount I adored Winter Soldier, but 30% on the movie itself. I loved T'challa too, but was kind of annoyed that the specific dispute was so unclear? I've been #TeamCap all the way going in, but was really looking forward to some clarity in where Cap and Tony disagreed so I could formally say 'yes, this is exactly where I stand', and really didn't feel like I got it. We never actually knew what was in the Accords, and depending on what that was my view on them could totally change. And don't even get me started on the kiss. I got so hopeful with the Vision/Wanda hints that that would be the mentioned kiss and our full quote of het romance for the film, but no, they had to mess with Sharon too. It really didn't add anything at all!
It also had a little of (one of) my (many) issue(s) with AOU again, which was too much Tony for a film nominally not about him. I do understand that in this case it's the very nature of the Civil War plotline, and honestly thinking about it I can't think of too much I'd cut or shorten to change that and know that I might very well be being unreasonable, but that was something I felt coming out of the film nonetheless. I was told it was a film with Steve and Bucky as coleads and Tony secondary, which was what I wanted, but not what I felt like I got. Again that may be my personal slightly unreasonable issue though, I'm very happy to concede that. I really missed Pepper, too, would have been much happier with that much of him if we had Pepper too!
I wanted so much more exploration of Bucky, but that could be another whole paragraph and I think I've rambled enough, so will leave it there!
