10 Best & 10 Worst Movies Of The Decade (Year-By-Year)
8. 2016's Best - Captain America: Civil War
With Civil War the Russos took something as big as superhero registration and one of the most beloved mega events in comic books and made it a personal story about how the lives of four men intersected dramatically. This might be a huge story, but it's the conflict between Cap and Bucky, Cap and Iron Man, Iron Man and Bucky and all three with Zemo that really mattered.
Set against a story with huge stakes - and which offered the chance to see an exceptional, fan-baiting spectacle in the airport battle scene - Civil War felt intimate and immediate and the performances in there are way more impressive than you'd expect of this sort of scale.
It was far from a pure adaptation, but THIS is how you do blockbuster film-making.
