Yeah, since AoU, the Avengers had nothing to do with SHIELD. There were a few lines where they were implying that they don't trust SHIELD or what they wanted SHIELD to be.

Just saw it
Thought it was very well done. It started a tad bit slow but it built and tied everyone's point of view in. It really did feel like a cap story which was cool. Favorite parts was the young rdj lol, giant man lol, and the end fight between cap/bucky and iron man. Spiderman was amazing Imo and I can't wait for his solo movie. This movie was leaps and bounds better than aou. In story telling and visual effects. The best marvel movie yet for me!
Theatre was packed. Think it was sold out. Oh pro tip, don't bring your infant (literally about 6-8 months old), and two year old to the movies (like the people in front of us did). The infant would cry and scream through half the movie. The other half the two year old was non stop making noises and jumping up and down. Oh and take a bath. Same family wreaked of bo and cigarettes

Well, in the world he was born in compared to the world he woke up in after being on ice... I can understand his convictions.
He's seen how the governments of the U.S. and the rest of the world have become. The world generally walks the line between stability and chaos. The fact that there are not only superpower countries but also superpowers personified trying to destroy everything, it's understandable. The UN is an antiquated organization that is mired by committees and delegations. It' serves very little real purpose when you can see the crimes against humanity being committed regularly without any repercussions. If the UN can't even be trusted to handle human problems, how can it be expected to know how to deal with superhuman problems?
Having said that, they can't live in the U.S. and not be expected to be seen as operating in the interests of the U.S.
They should either have some oversight or find an island to based their operations out of. Or something...

I'll probably have more thoughts once I process things after I sleep, but I loved it overall. Much stronger than AoU. A few things that stood out to me as things I didn't like:
*The giant descriptions of when/where scenes were taking place. You couldn't have had them smaller, like most movies do?
*The scene where Natasha is fighting the two guys at the beginning: not sure if it's just the camera or what, but it felt very choppy and disorientating.
*The timeline for the Accords was a bit fast. Not that they had been come up with, but that the people it affects are only given 4 days before they're supposed to go in effect? And why wasn't there an enhanced person involved in the creation process?
*So what makes the UN think they have any jurisdiction over Thor, who isn't even a citizen of the planet?
*Any particular reason we had to see the same flashback 3 times (4 if you count the video where we finally saw the full thing)?
*As other people have said, Tony's blackmailing of Spidey didn't sit right with me. I'm assuming that Spidey's new suit has protection to it, or he'd be dead from that fight.
*The movie felt overly long, but nothing felt out of place like it could be trimmed. I dunno.

Shame on those people! If you can't afford a babysitter then don't go to the movie! Infants should NEVER be allowed in a loud theater like that and should have rules against that. So crappy and inconsiderate!
I have 2 kids, 1 and a half and 5. Even the 5 year old I often don't bring unless it's a film I know he'd like and sit quietly watching.

There were also babies in the theatre when I saw it.
We have movies for moms here so there should be no excuse

This is why my go-to theater is 21 and over only. I love kids, but I don't have any myself, and I don't think that very young children need to be exposed to every movie; see my previous responses to making a PG-13 Deadpool "for the kids".

The bummer about that is that adults can ruin it too. Thats what happened at my 21 and up luxury theater. I could have missed some of the movie to have got someone to tell them to shut up, but that shouldnt be my responsibility. With the way movies are coming out, I might just start waiting for it and not seeing movies in the theater anymore. Too many jerks ruin it.

In the UK (and I'm sure many places) during youth sports and stuff like that (when I was growing up) it was the "done thing" to have an orange slice at half time or full time, one of the parents would usually bring them to the game. I chuckled, but I did wonder if it was only a UK thing.

Is the snide facepalm because I wasn't clear on the state of SHIELD agents in the current MCU? If so, sorry, I was busy not being a virgin, but thanks for your unwarranted contempt.
Or was the Comic Book Guy-esque facepalm due to my political reading of Cap's behavior? Because I can see a lot of intelligent arguments about whether Cap should trust the govt having been burned before, etc etc etc. But a bitchy facepalm isn't an intelligent argument.

I'm confused...In The Winter Soldier when Zola was showing history archives of Hydra to Steve and Romanoff there was an image of Bucky in sniper position to kill Howard Stark...Then in Civil War a video footage show Bucky just punching Howard's head twice with his metal arm, killing him.
So which one really happened?

The Civil War video footage was the real thing that happened. That image of Bucky with a sniper was not necessarily a photo of him targeting Howard. Zola was showing examples of who Bucky has killed, so he may have been targeting somebody else. There's this frame in TWS which proves that Bucky punching Howard's head really happened.

Just saw the movie, and loved it.
Yeah, the location captions were strangely large.
Even after this many MCU movies, folks still walked out when the credits started rolling. I just don't get it.
One of the coolest parts for me was watching Tony's flashback hologram. They made RDJ look like he was in his 20's.
