I definitely shed some real nigga tears at least twice watching this.
The action was great. Fantastic in every sense of the word. But the story and script were the meat of the movie. Winter Soldier was my favorite Marvel movie to date but just halfway through this I knew I had a new #1.
This movie is, at its core, a movie about loss. When you consider that everybody has lost something or someone and what that kind of loss can make a person do, you understand the brilliance of this film. I would describe it as an Avengers movie about Steve Rogers. It spirals out enough to give everyone a role and reason but it all begins with Captain America and Bucky. Everyone reacts to losing in different ways, and Cap responds to being given a second chance to have someone that he had lost in a way that has drastic consequences.
And don't listen to critics who will say Zemo was a throwaway villain. I wouldn't even call him a villain, but someone who has an agenda. And that's OK because IT'S CALLED CIVIL WAR so the movie rightly focused on what it was supposed to. Not to tear down DC because I loved Batman v Superman in its own way, but this is the movie that BvS should have been. Everyone who watches both movies objectively will know what I mean.
