Before saying anything else about this movie, I will not talk about the politics of the movie. The political landscape of the US is quite frankly exhausting, and I was very careful to not read into any of the undertones of the story and just try to enjoy it as a piece of art.
With that said, Civil War comes very close to touching the sun and climbing onto my greatest movies of all time list. It's beautifully shot, harrowingly real, and the action is some of tensest I've seen in a long time. But this movie reminded me of the importance of a movie's score and soundtrack to help guide our emotions with what we're visually seeing on the screen.
The songs used in Civil War were atrociously bad. And I mean just plain awful. It sucked me out of the movie at times, and moments that could easily reduce me to tears were hitting with a fraction of their power. It seems like such a petty thing to dislike, almost like I'm just going out of my way to look for a flaw, but the power of a score seriously can't be underestimated in movie making.
Despite the one major problem, I have no regrets watching this movie.
AND PLEASE JUST IGNORE THE POLITICS. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH INFIGHTING FOR A LIFETIME.
