   Garland has a knack for story structure, Civil War has a good setup and hits the right narrative beats without being too cliche. The action sequences are also wonderfully directed, the climax of the second act with Jesse Plemons is just phenomenal. The dialogue and how some of the themes were tackled in this film were just lackluster though. Civil War barely explores what an actual civil war means, much less in the modern USA. I've read criticisms that this movie makes the statement: "both sides bad," but so much of this is so politically ambiguous that it doesn't make much of a statement at all. Garland seems to focus more on cool modern warfare on American soil set-pieces and the problems of journalism. (7/10) 6 days 5 hours ago

   really liked it; powerful enough; both beautiful and tense; the predictability of some plot points and character arcs didn't hurt the film (imo) 1 week 2 days ago

   The movie is so much better than the trailer! I was happy I saw it in a Sneak Preview, otherwise I would've missed this great personal story about journalists! 2 weeks 5 days ago
