    Slow build up but it was worth it in the end cause I really enjoyed that second half post intermission (those should be a thing all 3h+ movies !)

    Civil War

    ★★½

    Yes it was entertaining and the action did have me gripped but like there were some parts to it that were just silly 

    Like why is the lens that you choose to view a civil war through that of a couple of journalists who just want the “ultimate story”… seems to defeat the purpose of commentary on the atrocities and pain of civil war or like the social ills that lead to its outbreak…idk 

    it also made journalism seem like…

    I liked the concept of…bella. Her creation and all.
    Don’t think I’ve seen that before so pretty cool. I also liked the gimmicky-Wes Anderson-esque style of the movie. Also liked how they were playing with time periods throughout the movie. Like for the Lisbon chapter the built environment looked pretty futuristic with the flying trams and shit but they were still all dancing and speaking like they were in 19th C Europe. Overall fun watch and Bella’s growth was lowkey…
