I'm going preface this with saying that Civil War may be my favourite Marvel film yet. Better than 2012's The Avengers, better than Iron Man 3, hell even better than The Winter Soldier! The only one it may not beat for me is Captain America: The First Avenger, but I just love that film so much.
Civil War has been dubbed 'Avengers 2.5', and after seeing this film I fully understand that. We have a whole host of characters, new and old, rather than the typical 'stand-alone' Marvel affair, which would feature 1 or 2 of the Avengers. However, unlike The Winter Soldier, we aren't seeing just Steve and Natasha fight together, we're seeing the Avengers (and some newcomers), splitting into two factions and facing off over conflicting views on a piece of legislation affecting their activities as protectors of the world.
