A step up from winter soldier yet it still leaves allot to be desired.

Bucky still feels like something that needs to be protected instead of an actual character.
The rest of the characters are fine, both tony and Steve have good arguments against eachother but again like the previous film, there is no stopping. It had to be action scene after action scene.

Imo the discussion about if superheroes should obey the government or not should have been a bit longer. I think if they discussed it better or just handled the situation better then I think allot of the problems would've been resolved faster.
I think both sides are correct in some area's.

Heroes can't just destroy everything they see in the name of good. It leaves allot of destruction and possible deaths aswell.
But obeying the government.....yeah no, there is a big risk factor in that you also can't really trust the American government.

This is all pretty decent, hell good but then the third act drops the ball.
The airport fight scene feels incredibly weightless and ugly.
The reveal of Tony's parents being murdered by bucky was...a twist.
In retrospect it's not but also doesn't entirely work with me since its kinda just an excuse to make them fight again.
Idk but characters like scott lang and peter kinda annoy me?
I can excuse peter a bit more since its in his nature to be talkative during fights but then again I think its more so how tom holland delivers these lines. Scott Lang is just annoying as shit.
The comedy sucks.
The cinematography is mostly an upgrade while still kinda being shit.
