Two main sides team Cap and team Ironman. One wants to be able to act alone without authority/restrictions while the other wants to be kept in check to gain the trust of the government.
Their choices make so much sense too. Steve Rogers used to work under an authority "SHIELD", he fully trusted it until the events of "Winter Soldier", everything he believed in turned on him. Tony Stark tried to make the world a better place by creating Ultron, distrusting any form of authority to begin with. Until the events of "Age of Ultron" caused the death of countless people.
I was expecting the predictable endgame of common enemy to appear, causing them to put their differences aside and defeat the enemy together. (*cough* Batman V Superman *cough*) But what they did instead was so much more brilliant.

The big bad in the movie was merely a catalyst for the feud between Tony and Steve. The movie essentially goes back to it's roots at the end, the conflict between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. Because after all, this whole movie is called Civil War for a reason.
I also appreciate the way they introduced new characters, Spiderman for example was all set up simply all in one scene, a conversation between Peter Parker and Tony Stark. The writers clearly respect the audience's intelligence enough to not give an out of place origin flashback.
Of course this movie isn't without it's flaws. The action sequences were horrible. The shot sizes were all so close, the cuts with ridiculously rapid in abundance (a character being shoved to the ground had 4 different cuts), the movement of the camera was excessively shaky. I understand that the action was edited to the fast paced music, but by doing this it really pulls you out of the scene. I cannot see what is going on clearly, which undermines the efforts of the stuntmen who worked hard on the choreography, going through years of training to be able to do so.
There should have been wider shots for the audience to breathe and have a chance to access the situation.
Captain America: Civil War is not just a mindless superhero action movie. It treats it's audiences with respect and develops the characters with realistic reasonings that lets anyone step back and go "Oh I see why Tony stands for this, and Steve does have a point too".
MY RATING 3/4
