Warning: Major Spoilers Will Follow
The highly anticipated new release from Marvel studios, Captain America: Civil War has made its way to cinema screens across the globe, and so far the critical reception and box office numbers are looking good. I do get annoyed when critics so clearly have a bias towards one brand name or the other, so in lieu of a standard review, I’m going to give you several good points, and several bad points from the movie. Because yes, believe it or not, for everything Civil War did right, they did some wrong, as well. Let’s start with the bad, and work our way through to the good, shall we?
