The main message of the movie seems to be a biting commentary of the state of the media today, and how people are being divided by media-driven narratives. The film is pretty direct with its criticism of social media, and has a very unique take on the real-life “bot” phenomenon that pushes phony, media generated outrage. The movie is really an indictment on our self-absorbed selfie culture where there is no such thing as “bad” publicity. It’s a bit satisfying to see this since the social-criticism is well-deserved, but the movie at times gets a little too obvious making this point.

Movie Review: October 8
This movie as objectively as possible, uncovers once latent, now active, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish sentiment that has infected the universities, media, and other public institutions. It shows what will be a dark spot on American and world history, not unlike the rise of antisemitism that led to the Holocaust in the 20th Century. It also shows that there is wide support for Israel, something that should not be lost on the audience.

It’s really a sequel to The Incredible Hulk. MCU fans will like it because it does provide a little bit of continuity from other films like the aforementioned Incredible Hulk, and the Eternals, and from Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It doesn't do much more than that. It's not an entry-level movie for someone who's not seen any other MCU movies.

All in all, Civil War is worth watching, but if you're looking for a partisan fight, this movie will disappoint. It completely avoids politics and ideology thus, it's safe for conservatives worried the film would be a work of Hollywood propaganda.
