After another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team.

Goofs:
In the final fight scene between Iron Man and Captain America, Stark not only struggles to overcome Rogers, but actually get beaten on the face by empty handed Rogers. According to the Marvel Universe that'd be impossible. Cap can lift max 1200 pounds, while Stark on suit is classified "Potentially incalculable, able to lift in excess of 100 tons". Even if Captain's shield is theoretically indestructible, Rogers is not, any moment without the shield, Stark could take him in one blow. In addition to that, Iron Man's suit is made (in lower scale) of the same metal as the Hulk-Buster which can take hits by Hulk (100t+), Captain America could never break through the shell by punching it.

Hi,
I saw civil war and I come with good news; it's AWESOME!
Im not gonna spoil one single thing, since this movie should be seen by
only the two trailers you probably saw. Don't watch any tvspots after
the second trailer or whatever!
Im gonna touch a few aspects and rate them.
Acting: Of course it's amazing. The characters we were waiting for were
black panther and of course SPIDERMAN! Both were done amazing!
Spiderman has a bigger role than I personally expected and it's done
with grace. Love it. Black Panther was such a good character with great
motivation why he's doing what he's doing. The acting per usual from
the other characters were great! 10/10
Story: Now where another (let's leave it) unnamed superhero movie
failed this year, and no I'm not talking about dead-pool.., was the
story. Now this story is what I expected from the other unnamed
superhero movie. I didn't know what side I wanted to be on; cap's or
iron man's. I was so conflicted and even while they're fighting you
don't know who to root for. The villain in this movie felt a bit, not
really out of place, but unnecessary in my opinion. But Marvel always
struggles to find a good fleshed out villain except for Loki & kingpin
in the series. 8/10
Action/Cinematography: O boy..If you're an action freak you will love
this, if you're a comic book fan.. you're gonna LIVE these amazing
action set pieces. The much anticipated airport scene is AMAZING.
You've seen nothing, literally nothing of the amazing action that will
bestow upon you guys. The airport scene is in complete imax and has a
runtime of around 17 minutes. Just let that sink in! The Russo brothers
know how to create great action and film it great as well. I can go on
record and say this is by far the best superhero action scenes ever.
20/10.
Verdict: Was it a perfect movie? No. But for me as a fan it came darn
close. The only thing that bothered me were the villains, well actually
one of the few that are in there.
Was it better than... Batman v superman.. yes by far. I mean we're in a
comic book movie year, so we might as well compare it. Batman v
superman lacked in a lot of places and civil war just did it better.
Just the conflict in ideologies made it so much more believable why the
characters fought and because this whole story arc is happening now
after 2 cross over movies, 3 iron movies and 2 cap movies.. the stakes
are so incredibly high. I tried to compare dead-pool with it as well,
but it's a different movie in terms of it being a solo movie and
setting something up, instead of showing a conflict between good and
good instead of good and evil.
9 out of 10! Near Perfect movie for the fans(9.5) and a good solid
action film for the general movie go-ers(9)
