4 stars from me!! This one also got some criticism from fans but I loved it! I thought it was well done and I loved the strong arguments and viewpoints of Steve and Tony. We got to experience so many new characters in this one! Scarlet Witch, Vision, Quicksilver (RIP ). I really love Vision. He seems to have an innocence as well as deep intellect at the same time. The end argument with Vision and Ultron was so great as well. Definitely be sure to remember what occurred in Sacovia. It's important to Civil War and the events that took place there are the backstory that create the main conflict. I thought Ultron was a great villain. James Spader voiced him well. It's also obvious that James Spader provided the MoCap because Ultron had James Spader's unique mannerisms. The opening fight scene was amazing! Especially the slowmo shot when they all happen to line up. Intense and lots of laughs. I love how they pick on Cap for lecturing them on their language. So funny! I'm trying not to go on too long but there is a lot to say. Joss Whedon is really amazing at character writing. I felt for each of the characters at some point. They have so much depth. Loved the scene where they all tried to pick up the hammer. And the look on Thor's face when the hammer actually budged in Cap's hands! Then later, when Quicksilver in slow motion sees the hammer flying by and tries to grab it, only to go flying with it. That was a clever use of the hammer to incapacitate someone who's hard to incapacitate. And when Vision picked up the hammer no problem later on while talking about finding a way for them to trust him, that was great! Wakanda is mentioned and they talk a bit more about Vibranium. This is all stuff I didn't really notice until meeting T'Challa/Black Panther in Civil War! I love how the whole MCU develops and branches out. So many attentions to detail in all the films that show their respect for the whole universe. I'll bet in another 10 years, I could rewatch the whole MCU and catch even more things that I didn't even know were hints or comments about other people and places in the MCU. Stan sighting: He was the drunk guy at the party! Excelsior! Stinger: Only one this time! Thanos picking up left gauntlet and saying, "Fine. I'll do it myself." Seems like he's tired of the failures of his goons and you know the old saying; if you want something done right, do it yourself! So many films away still from Infinity War but they're already letting us know of the great importance and tenacity of this super villain.

4 stars from me too! For me this one wasn't as great as the ones before, but still earns 4 stars. I enjoyed the fight scene from the opening as well. All that funny comments again here and then. I so love Tony! XD Yah, give it to Cap lol. Ultron was really good, even though I haven't heard the original voice unfortunately. Funny thing is, the german dubber was the dubber from Edward Norton, so he had the same voice as Hulk in the first movie, which was a little weird. o.O Not bad though. I tried to not imagine him too much lol. I totally loved the whole scene with Ultron's awakening! I love scenes like that! When virtual beings become a thinking being! I love that in almost every movie or book sort of that happens, of it's well done. So science fiction! My favourite genre! Oh but I felt bad for Tony his plan went wrong. Yah I'm excited to learn more about what happened in Sacovia! The Thor's hammer scene was so damn hilarious!! I couldn't stop grinning at that! I'm starting to like Thor more and more btw. So for now my less favourite is Cap (sorry Heidi) XD He's just too perfect. Oh and Hulk trying to pull up the hammer was so great too! No one liked him doing that joke he did! XD I soooo loved Hulk in this movie!!!!! Him and Black widow made my heart jump! Hulk widow! <3 XD So the end really made my heart crash! :_(
