IMDb Synopsis: With many people fearing the actions of super heroes, the government decides to push for the Anti-Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a heroes actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world. This escalates into an all-out war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spiderman) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Sharon Carter, Scarlett Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man) while a new villain emerges.

Critic Opinion: "Death has never played such an intricate part in any Marvel film before and the repercussions are as gargantuan as they come. Performances in the film are outstanding, the storyline is bleak and absorbing, there are plenty of stand-out moments for comic book and movie-loving fans alike, and the nonstop action keeps everything moving at a swift pace that keeps the film enjoyable throughout. It’s unreal that the third “Captain America” film is the best. It’s as if “Return of the Jedi” stole all of the action sequences from “Die Hard: With a Vengeance” and “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.”

 

Comic book fans rejoice. “Captain America: Civil War” is overflowing with action and is absolutely stunning through and through. Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans are at their unadulterated best. “Civil War” is marvelously entertaining and precisely crafted as one of the best comic book films of all time." - Chris Sawin

User Opinion: "Kevin Feige has recently stated that Marvel's "phases" will work in a trilogy aspect, with Phase Three serving as a grand finale to the first batch of heroes. Thus, Captain America: Civil War appropriately feels like the beginning of the end for Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, two relatively unknown superheroes who became icons thanks to this franchise. It's appropriate that this film introduces Black Panther and Spider-Man to the MCU, the latter already being an icon and the former well on his way to becoming one after his outstanding debut in this film. Other recently introduced Avengers, such as Vision and Ant-Man, prove their worth by being used even better here than in their respective origin outings.
 
Not only does this movie start the fantastic endgame for the MCU, it kicks off more reasons to keep watching after Infinity War, along with proving why we keep watching as the Universe gets bigger and bigger. Captain America: Civil War proves the longevity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and justifies yet again the concept of the cinematic universe." - Blankments

Personal Comment: Here is the 4th movie from the 2010s making this decade the easy winner of most on the list (so far), and this is also the newest release to make the list (because sadly Money Monster missed the list).  This is the second of eight superhero movies to make the final list, and of five Marvel movies.  While this is a controversial addition for obvious reasons (one being that its one number 1 vote was the sole reason it made the countdown at all, and two being just how new and how MCU it is), I'd like to point out that it really shows how loved the movie was right out the gate for it to be able to make the list while only coming out a week prior to the deadline to enter your list.  There's no telling if the love is going to stick, or if the movie is ultimately going to receive backlash from its love, but as of right now it's quite the trend.

So he should go all the way back to the dark days of 1997 - 3 whole years before cinema really started.  Inconceivable!

 

We got progress carefully with James. Start with Gattaca and than slowly move him back through the years

My predictions for the upcoming forum list.

 

- At least one movie will turn up that largely only got there because it was quite recently released. (Most likely suspects: Deadpool, Zootopia, Civil War)

(Still not as embarrassing as DOFP making the last llist.)
