    When it's good, it's really good
    'Civil War' reminded me a little of the 2013 film 'The Purge', where there was a tremendous idea for a film, but very little done with it. 'Civil War' wasn't anywhere near as bad in that respect, but it still did feel like there were too many uninteresting scenes early on and some missed opportunities.

    When it does a scene right though it really does a scene right. There was scene with Jesse Plemons that was as captivating as anything I've seen in a film in a long time. Also the final sequence of the film was an incredible 20 minutes to watch, and something I won't soon forget.

    I'd been highly anticipating seeing this film for a long while now, so perhaps I set my standards a little too high, and the down scenes early on weren't as bad I perceived. Either way though, there is no doubting this is a very fine film. 8.5/10.

    Zero point to this movie and it's a complete waste of time
    I actually created an IMDB account to write this review to try and save people time and money. Do not pay to rent this and only watch it if you're forced to. This movie was absolutely pointless. It was so random with no plot and terrible acting. Nothing about the film was realistic and the trailer grossly misrepresents what it actually is. The majority of music is odd with the exception of a few songs and moments,and the stop action to try and represent the photography is nothing more than an annoyance. I feel like someone wrote the movie eating pizza on the toilet in 20 minutes. Just absolutely stupid. Terrible trash.
