I'll probably wait till it hits Netflix or Prime from what I've been hearing about it.

I’m not saying it was a masterpiece, but it wasn’t as bad as a lot of posters are saying.
Some of them are saying it was bad because that’s the “cool” thing to say. It really was made in a way that you could put a name on either side. Who’s good, and who’s bad. I don’t care what the Director’s personal opinions are. He did a good job of keeping them out. |

Wear your vest & plates with your colorful Boogaloo Hawaiian shirt...
Frequently shout excitedly "Hell Yeah!!" & " Death to Tyrants!!" throughout the film... You will enhance the full "Civil War" experience for your fellow viewers. Bigger_Hammer

The "sides" are summarized in the trailer by a spotter with colorful hair: "Someone's trying to kill us and we are trying to kill them."
The only clear bad guy is the POTUS and he's hated by the secessionists AND the journalists. If you pay attention to which states seceded, you can argue that the government pissed off the red states but it's portrayed as though political ideology doesn't play into the general sense that the President needs to go. It is implied that he has violated a substantial chunk of the constitution and regardless of the justification, most of the country said "fuck that." |

With all the Californians spreading to better states, and then still voting for broken policies, you could see a scenario where TX and CA are teamed up. |

It was a film I enjoyed. Might even go see it again.
I see a lot of cognitive dissonance in the bad reviews. It seems that some people were expecting a good Red Dawn reboot.

Imagine you’re Barack Obama and are jealous of all your billionaire high tech friends so you decide you need to get rich off conservatives so you can brag about it. What could you do? Oh I know…. I’ll make a couple teotwawki movies and make it just vague enough politically that the idiots don’t know we’re making fun of them. Just like the first few years of Colbert. They won’t be able to help themselves. They’re totally addicted to Disney and Hollywood no matter how many times we piss on them and tell them it’s raining. Well laugh all the way to the bank. Then I’ll buy more houses on the Hawaiian coast just to watch their heads implode over rising sea levels.

Again, the movie doesn't bring left/right politics into the mix. Imagine a government that has gotten so out of control, political lines become irrelevant and it's more "this dude is a legit tyrant who has to go". That's the general idea of the film. |

I thought it was good, maybe 6/10. I wouldn’t pay to see it again but I’d watch it on Netflix. I was expecting a huge political slant like the Purge movies but this one did a good job keeping it pretty vague and ambiguous.

It's getting a B- Cinemascsore, which is based on opening day audience score so it's good but mixed.
I see a few bad reviews in GD and it's OK to not like a movie. But, it's strange to me to have strong opinions about it when you haven't seen it though. |

The four main photojournalists aren't important to the story as photojournalists per se. They're just a way to the tell the story with people that witness and experience several different areas. The movie doesn't pick sides per se, it does have the message that "war is very violent". It doesn't even say violence is good or bad either. I think it says, like it or not sometimes good people have to engage in violence with others in order to survive.

The journalists are in-the-shit combat photographers. Political opinions are irrelevant and never mentioned in the movie. "The media" you refer to are mainstream talking heads, not the ones imbedded in war zones. The main message is "war is ugly".

It’s not that I don't believe that this movie could really not have a political slant, it just that I’ve doubt it anymore. Over the years I’ve heard numerous times from people on this website about how a certain movie is not political and i watch it only to discover it is loaded with so much political bullshit that I can’t even finish it. It’s not even that I can’t handle different opinions than my own, it’s just that so prevalent and predictable now that it’s all so tiresome. I just want to be entertained and not preached at about how I’m a bad person. |
