Saw the film earlier. Really liked it. I think it's the strongest Avengers film they have made so far. The plot is paper thin but the actual writing and the actions scenes are phenomenal.
I was really worried about how they were going to handle the Civil War storyline but it turns out they completely circumvented the issue by not actually telling the Civil War story. At all. This isn't Marvel's Civil War. This is Avengers Disassembled + extras.
Which isn't bad. It works. It's basically the movie equivalent of my favorite comic book issues. Just a lot of super people on screen punching each other a lot. It takes itself serious but it doesn't become too dark or brooding. It's mostly still the gang going on adventures.
People talk a lot about Spider-man but I loved the introduction and presentation of Black Panther. He got a proper power upgrade for this film and really holds his own.
And in regards to Ant-man:
I'll put this in a spoiler box because it was my favorite scene.

I found the writing weak in regards to cap vs iron man.
Okay Ultram was an avengers bad. No getting around that one. Your not s hero when you stop yourself from murderer someone! Your not a hero stopping your own crazy robot.
That said when the alternative to the avengers was shield nuking new york you don't bitch at them about property damage or whatever y had them upset there. 11 dead Wakandans is probably cheap compared to a stolen biological weapon in hydra hands. If cap going Rogue stops hydra taking over shield and launching 3 genocidal carriers you don't berate him for it, you give him a medal!
I can understand the mortals living in fear of the avengers power but you don't criticize them. You thank them!
Yeah, I thought the plot was exceedingly thin in this regard. When criticized by Ross the Avengers just sit in the room taking it. Nobody pipes up about saving the Earth from an Alien Invasion or, one assumes, a hundred other skirmishes they have been in over the past years.
Furthermore, the world gets all upset over a small bomb explosion in Africa, but somehow nobody thought to fucking execute Tony Stark for creating a country destroying robot in Avengers 2? Thousands or millions of people will have died because of Tony Stark and they're worried about the equivalent of a small suicide bomb? Please.
The film should have been about Ultron in my opinion. And since it's a Cap America film it should have been much more political. The story never really goes deep or heavy. I'd have liked a scene with actual politicians at the UN debating the problem, with various heroes testifying, etc.
Maybe it will come in the second part.
