could have done with less shaky cam, but damn the Russos really know how to do action well

Bullet points after second viewing

-Russos are the best action directors after Greengrass in Hollywood right now. There was not the surprise of Winter Soldier, but it was awesome throughout
-I didn't have really an opinion on Zemo the first time. Subtle villain, but a great one. And Bruhl is terrific
-The Airport scene is a fucking dream and it's perfectly placed in the film. It wouldn't have worked as the climax
-TBH, Holland was fun, but I'm not ready to say he's the definitive Spidey and I don't think the film would be any less good without him. The early reports of him ''stealing the film'' were soooo exaggerated
-Bucky/Steve is the heart of this film and this is why it's a Cap film, not an Avengers one. To me this is the best stuff in the MCU so far.
-Robert Downey Jr. is incredible in this. Gives a totally new side to Tony Stark and makes it really credible. In Ultron, his tortured/darker turn didn't work really well for me. For some reason, he knocked it out of the park this time.

Anyone who says Holland is the "definitive" Spidey based on this brief appearance is a flavor of the week moron.

8/10. The movie had everything that made Winter Solider great, only magnified to massive proportions. The definition of 'bigger and better'.

They're both good, Stan in particular. Everyone plays their part well but the two standouts are RDJ and Boseman.

It's RDJ's finest turn as Stark.
