Captain America: Civil War ~ I will say it up front, this is quite possibly the best of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies so far in my opinion.
Marvel's The Avengers,
Ant-Man,
Guardians of the Galaxy, and
Captain America: Winter Soldier all run a tie for a very close second. And it's notable to mention that
Ant-Man and
Avengers are probably only in that running because of my love for those characters more than the movie itself, but still I would rank them top five easily. But
Civil War, thematically an
Avengers film and an official sequel in the
Captain America franchise is still the best of the dozen or so MCU flicks.
The film is very loosely based on the Mark Millar and Steve McNiven miniseries from Marvel Comics a decade ago called
Civil War where Captain America and Iron Man divided the Avengers and the entire American superhero community to go to war with each other over philosophical issues. It was a real war, and lives were lost and destroyed, and one of Marvel's greatest friendships was splintered for many years.
