Jameson Lopp

It seemed timely to watch Civil War.

I think it does a pretty good job capturing the senseless violence that is inherent to war.

You never even learn the root cause of the war, but it quite frankly doesn't matter.

I heard it's shit and that discouraged me from watching it

Depends on what you're looking for. The plot isn't particularly amazing, but I found it to be realistically believable.

California and Texas banding together? 🤔

Was much less about the war itself and more about the story of the journos covering it.

Would have been much better focussed on the civil war plot imo.

I think a series would be better for that, as there'd be more screen time to flesh out the setting and scenarios

Pro-journalist propaganda. The only "good guys" in the big bad world are the journalists. Risking their lives to show us the truth. Conveniently, released right before they really, really need us to listen to journalists.

Aside from that, lots of laughably bad technical errors. Like '80s action movie bad. If it weren't for the serious tone, it might be forgiveable.

It wasn't as bad as Expendables 4, the new Mission Impossible, or Without Remorse.

What errors did you spot?

I recall laughing at the scene with choppers flying 50 feet off the ground between high rise buildings. No sane pilot would do that due to threats from above.

Pretty much anything involving a firearm. And yeah, I was looking for Stallone during that helicopter scene. 😂

I mean, it's fine, it just didn't go with the tone of the thing.

I was fully expecting that chopper to get blasted actually
