Apart from the trolls, there's also this current of discussion about who was right, which is fine, but it's turning into the same stupid fanboy warring that we get whenever something is "vs" something else.
It may take longer for the board to calm down than I was hoping.

That's nothing. The X-Men: Apocalypse board has idiots who started a petition to "stop Disney from paying critics"...

Not to mention that hoards of people who want poor Bucky dead.

It still isnt that bad. I thought when we were all on the Avengers board, it was worse. We had the caterpillar trolls like Pope, Jon Shiggalo and Philip Evans who pretended to like the film just to get personal dirt on everyone on the board and then started to troll with personal attacks.
You on point Phife?- RIP Phife Dog
I don't think it's been that bad, to be honest. Certainly nothing like the AOU or Ant-Man boards.
There have been the inevitable "why is this film 8.5?", "why do critics like this film?" and the tired "am I the only person who disliked this movie?" threads (That last one I particularly loathe), but overall it's been tolerable. I haven't seen anyone brand the film as "disgusting", as they did with AOU. But then again, maybe that's because I have so many of them on 'ignore'...

Yeah, my reaction here was that it seemed like so many posters--including normally sane ones--felt that the point of the film was to take sides, so they're fiercely arguing for their position, overlooking what's really going on in the movie.
People on both sides of this make decisions for reasons that aren't at all logical, that have much more to do with their personal reactions and feelings than with the law or what's right.
Ultimately, "what's right" is up to us as viewers, and I'm perfectly comfortable saying, "Steve did this right, but he really screwed that up." The final fight in the film is a direct result of Cap following Zemo's breadcrumbs and making a VERY BAD ASSUMPTION about what Zemo is up to, which, tracing it back, also leads to the airport battle and ultimately Rhodey's injury.
There's some pretty good discussion going on right now, particularly in a thread called "Falcon deserved it." that I posted. Having seen the film three times, it actually has me primed to see it again. There are clearly layers here.

What's happening, though. Is that everyone's missing the third part: they've decided who's right and are fighting for it with blinders on.

I saw it Saturday & wasn't overly impressed. I prefer both Whedon's efforts to this as well as Winter Soldier.
I don't see how anyone can be on Tony's side.
This isn't Wall Street-this is Hell. We have a little something called integrity-Crowley
I actually loved the move, but yeah, I felt like Tony's side barely had an argument.
