Captain America: Civil Warfeels like a pinnacle for Marvel.

Like, I cant imagine their movies getting any better.

This feels like the crescendo.

This feels like the movie this series has been building towards for eight years.

After all these movies, Marvelearnedthis fight.

This is the best Marvel movie so far.

This is not hyperbole.

I have my doubts they can make anything better.

This is as close as things come to superhero movie perfection.

This movie made me really happy.

But, in the end, Im on #TeamHulk, since Dr.

Banner was among the only ones smart enough to stay out of it.

And not only do we care about them, we care about their relationship dynamics.
