Every Single Spider-Man Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
4. Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Captain America: Civil War should never have worked. It was too grand in scope, too divergent from the source material and too focused on bringing in new characters to be anything but a mess. But incredibly, it worked out magnificently.
Actually abandoning the source material for the most part allowed the Russos to tell their own story focused on more personal stakes and the tighter focus on the trio of Cap, Iron Man and Bucky was an inspired move that didn't even undersell all the rest of the cast. Obviously, some characters ended up getting less to do, but it didn't feel like any were particularly betrayed.
And even though he's not involved all that much, Tom Holland's Spider-Man ended up being a scene stealer (particularly when fighting Giant Man) and this movie proved to be the perfect launching point for his own stand-alone MCU debut.
