Enjoyed this but golly it was depressing in parts. The fights went on for too long most of the time. Small attempts at humour but just not enough of them. I enjoy the Avengers etc films but the first ones are nearly all miles better. The Black Panther film looks like it could be good though. (

Fun actors, some snappy dialogue, arbitrary, ridiculous, plot. These people fight when they should talk and they talk when they should take some action all so the plot can go on with maximum acceleration. (

The Avengers fight each other.

Well, the Avengers fight each other, so you get what they promised. And for someone who thinks that's a dumb premise, I had a reasonable amount fun. The movie is kind of a weird parade of characters, though. All their comings and goings make sense logically, but it's a mess structurally.

UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL.
Following Ultron's war on humanity, the world no longer trusts the Avengers. After a controversial decision to hold the team accountable is made, Captain America is torn--he can understand people's fear, but the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. taught him just how dangerous unchecked power can be, and he trusts his own judgment above all to do what's right. The Avengers themselves are bitterly divided as to the best course of action. Captain America will have to take a stand and fight for what he believes in--even if it hurls him down the road to civil war.
