Ok, I didn't actually see or even really hear about the first one, and this is despite Sam Jackson's involvement. And I will sit through some horrible movies because he was in them.
So there were a few moments where I was a little lost, particularly at the start. Still they were few and far between enough where, like me, you can walk in fresh and it's not really a concern.
There is a LOT that is praise worthy here, but what wowed me the most was how well a cartoon movie could be a period piece of pop art.
It really fit the era right down to the faces and hair, not to mention all the other tiny little details.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was a lot more to it, but in my eyes the era stood out the most and in a pop art way. It made it fun for an old historian like me.
And for the MCU fans....This is what Captain America Civil War should have been about, and likely was until the plot got twisted
