Captain America: Civil War is the 897th installment or something like it in the Marvel comic franchise. This time round, the superheroes take sides, with the marketing asking if youre #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan but not if youre #TeamNeither, as would be most useful in my case. I swear this is the last Marvel film I will see as I never get anything out of them and whatever I say only sets the fans against me, which is not what you want at my age.

LOL!
Expect nothing and enjoy the mindless entertainment that most flicks offer - it’s an opportunity to hold my wife’s hand in a dark theater, eat pop-corn and take a break for everyday living....
Ah, yes, My old standy "Leonard Maltin/Gene Shalit" barometer for establishing on whether or not I would spend cash to see a movie (I no longer indulge, as its pretty much guaranteed that it would be a waste of money.)
The barometer worked like you describe, if the aforementioned 'worthies' panned it, it may be worth the shekels, but if they loved it, then definitely not...

Hold that, ah, thought.
And then the projectionist asked "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in here?" and called for the manager.
It was a nice touch that both Captain America and Iron Man evolved in opposite directions. Cap started out just wanting to be a good soldier (trying to get them to let him into the Army and volunteering for the experiment so he could help his country), and became increasingly disillusioned (first having to go against orders to save his comrades-in-arms, then finding that the people giving the orders have been thoroughly corrupted). Iron Man started out as a lone wolf, telling the government to kiss his @$$ when they tried to take control of his tech and then after the Ultron fiasco deciding that he can’t just do his own thing unsupervised.
best part? "I'm shaking your hand too long!"
