Everyone needs to see this movie 

I kept waiting for the big airport fight but it never came

There is one scene missing from this perfect movie. A short time after the noisy start of the D.C. Siege, cut to a view of the statue of Lincoln, sitting inside the monument. A very still scene, a very quiet scene, an almost serene scene, but, in the far, far away distance, you can hear machine gun fire. As the D.C. siege moves forward, cut to this serene scene a few more times and each time the gunfire gets louder and louder. Finally, when the rocket strikes, and the building explodes, we see Lincoln, with rubble piled up to his shoulders. He is trapped, frozen, unable to be free. Another explosion rocks, the building. The rubble falls away completely, like Lincoln has been freed. And lastly, we see a black-and-white snapshot-of-quietness of Lincoln’s closeup face. That is a scene missing from the movie.

The most unrealistic part of the movie was the president being in the White House where he would be vulnerable to being killed or captured. In real life he would have been in the most secure bunker in the world probably embedded inside a mountain somewhere in a top secret location. I was expecting him NOT to be inside the White House at the end.

Awesome vid. I saw the trailer for Civil War when I went to the theatre a month ago and knew it would be a very good flick. I can't wait to see it.

Bro I loved the spray paint in the snipers hair and you see the same colors on the wall when the girl is sitting against it

No

First time viewer and enjoyed your video, I loved the movie too and it’s surprised me how mixed the reaction seems to be online, a lot of people seem to struggle to get past the Texas / Florida thing but I think it was a good choice by Garland.

*please* do more movie reviews…IM(not so)HO, you're insanely good at it!! ;)

My biggest disappointment about the movie was not the movie ITSELF but the lack of WORLD BUILDING that I wanted. I went to the book store (and checked online) to find either an OFFICIAL MOVIE NOVELIZATION, or a PREQUAL or SPINOFF novel or some book describing more the politics and events of that fictional world (much like Hunger Games or Star Wars might have) and there was NOTHING. The "official website" I am not even sure is official canon and might just be fan fiction. This movie really needed other forms of media to expand its fictional universe and I saw NONE of that ONLY the movie. In and of itself the movie was great but an analogy is wanting a balanced meal and even if the steak is the best steak in the world and perfectly cooked you still need a salad or serving of steamed veggies and a potato for the meal to be balanced. It is not lost on me that the "Civil War" Marvel Universe movie got an official novelization and this movie did not. A book describing in detail all of the political factions and events leading up to this movie would be AWESOME. Or maybe a PREQUEL movie.

I think your review is excellent and I hope your channel does extremely well. There is, one comment you make that I disagree with. You might actually change your mind and say yeah. You mention that, “…the war itself is just a backdrop …”. Think about that! “Just a backdrop” ? Regardless, great review great movie. I hope your channel does extremely well. I subscribed for your movie reviews. (I ain’t a gamer)

I wanted to go see it in theatres but it’s sold out here tonight. But 123 movies has a good quality copy to stream.

excellent film

It's just a movie that's it that's all. I never really felt to read into the why of a civil war but I would reason the part of the soldiers asking what kind of Americans they were was because of the groups alliances. I recall one part of Sammy talking about Maoist Portland so maybe the Chinese invaded the US as the "New Peoples Army" and they shot the 2 Asians with them because they were seen as combatants from that part of the country?

What did you think of the lack of Nick Offerman? Putting him at the top of the film made it seem like his story would be more integral to the plot and then he was only in 2 scenes and some VO

Great review. I am making a collection of CIVIL WAR reviews. Your review is in my top three Can I add my own little book and movie review? According to Fareed Zakaria, in his brilliant new book, Age of Revolutions, Alexis de Tocqueville, in January 1848, warned the French legislature that there was pent-up political energy in the country that was waiting to explode like a volcano. A few months later riots broke out from Paris to Vienna and Berlin and Rome and elsewhere. The reasons were likely different than they are in modern America, but pent-up political energy can become a volcano for different reasons. Maybe, Alex Garlands new movie CIVIL WAR, is a modern version of the de Tocqueville 1848 speech, a speech that Garland is giving to the American people. Maybe it is a warning, a wake-up call, that November 2024, can be a trigger for that pent-up political energy. Bullets and rockets striking the White House, like in the movie? Maybe not. Riots in the streets of cities across America? Maybe. What if (hopefully) Democrat Joe Biden wins the 2024 presidential election? Before leaving office, former President Trump sent a violent mob to break into the Congress, to try to stop the peaceful transition of power. Former President Trump has since convinced tens of millions of Americans that the 2020 election was stolen, and Joe Biden is not the legitimate president. A Republican senator Tim Scott refuses to say he would accept the results of a presidential election if Joe Biden won in 2024. That sounds like a whole lot of pent-up political energy to me. I, obviously, recommend that you see this movie and read this book. This might be the most politically important movie of my lifetime, as l approach what I know is, absolutely, the most important election of my lifetime.

This is the most mature intelligent video I have seen on the movie so far. I was sad to see everybody missing the point of the film. However, I don't think the film is apolitical or neutral. The movie takes place under the regime of a right-wing fascist government, and one of its most terrifying villains is an alt-right, racist soldier who commits horrifying crimes. While the movie doesn't revolve around the war between left and right alone, it does play a part. The movie is centered around extremism vs centrists and the horrors of war, which, faced with America's current climate, is the definition of a political film. Also, I think the little context they do give as to why the Western Forces and Florida alliance are rebelling against the oppressive regime of an authoritarian third-term president who has disbanded the FBI and unleashed air strikes on his own citizens, is enough. The point of the movie is that it doesn't take much to get from the current state of America to the dystopian civil war present in the movie. I loved this movie so much and think it is so necessary in today's world.

Sounds like a film for soft people written and directed by an Englishman about a subject that's none of his business.

I thought it wasn't that great ..very slow

This was NOT a very good movie.

A warning to the American people? LMAO!!! It was a terrible film, with terrible acting. So, be warned that if you watch this film, you'll be wasting your life.

Intense garbage film.
