I have to ask, do you have some sort of RSS feed set up to alert you every time someone mentions Civil War just so you can shit on it? I've seen it in multiple forums here, not just the Movie House, and I'm constantly amazed by how quickly you are able to pounce. I gotta take my hat off to you, that's some dedication!
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I agree that some of the action scenes, particularly in IMAX 3D, were way too hard to follow. I also agree that my entire thought about this Zendaya chick is, "Am I supposed to know who this one-name-person is, and give a fuck about her?" She sucked, her character sucked, and the fact that she's going to be a significant character moving forward sucks. But Michael Fucking Keaton was awesome. I would watch an entire movie with Keaton as Vulture, because he is menacing as fuck without going overboard or being blatant about it. Fat sidekick was great, when I expected that he would annoy me. And seeing Gilfoyle is always a plus.
I loved Spider-Man's banter because he wasn't a fucking prick like the John Ralphio version, he was genuinely just chatty and overwhelmed, etc. I liked Happy and Stark providing just enough direction for the movie. The "diversity" was way too blatant but whatever, it doesn't bother me either. It was just so obvious that you couldn't help but notice it. As long as Peter himself wasn't changed just for the sake of diversity, I don't really care what everyone else is. I don't even care about the Zendaya thing, I just care that they wrote her character to be absolutely annoying and shitty as fuck.
Honestly, Holland, Keaton, and the fat sidekick were enough to make this movie enjoyable for me. Everyone else in the movie was really just window dressing.
I'll definitely watch this one here or there over the years. Solid 8/10 for me.
Gotta understand, for all the good knowledge Palum has in general, there are plenty of things where he is just a complete fucking idiot. Everyone knows it, they accept it and just deal with it...deep down Palum knows it too, but he'll probablly feign being offended by that and try to convince everyone that Civil War wasn't absolutely fucking great.
