With the movie already pre-sold by the previous MCU features and TV it seems to be giving away too much. The story will be hard pressed to surprise no matter how much of a blackout you can self impose on yourself. I guess it will come down to the execution
Looks really good. The previous CA flicks are some of the best Marvel movies.
That said, the one moment of the trailer that made me groan and roll my eyes:
Punching Iron Man is the height of silliness. I know the fisticuffs are a staple of the comic books, but can we not aim at least a little higher in the movies? I mean the only thing sillier than punching Iron Man would be fist-fighting a maniacal robot as it barreled down the highway on the back of a truck.
This has been the only super hero movie I truely like. Just not a fan of the genre but I sure have loved the captain America movies so far. This one also looks promising.
Cap and Bucky putting the beatdown on Iron Man really isn't that far fetched. Bucky's robotic arm is highly advanced and stronger than Cap, they're both superhumanly strong and agile, and Cap's shield is quite the equalizer. The shield can reflect Tony's blasts and pierce his armor. If they reflected one or two of Tony's blasts back at him it would seriously damage his armor, and piercing through his armor in the right place could cause Tony to lose power.

But in all honesty Cap isn't all that strong as the movies show him to be. He's supposed to be the perfect
physical specimen. In the comics Batman is the same when it comes to being as close to perfect as possible. Yet Batman could take him. Wolverine is stronger then Cap is too.
Anyways, back to the topic. As someone who read the comic Civil War I KNOW I am going to be VERY disappointed with this movie. So many missing out of the comics ( granted I know they can't use everyone) but still I think the storyline will be lacking seriously.

That's entirely untrue. Wolverine is only as strong as a little angry dude and Batman is only as strong as a world-class athlete. Captain America is superhumanly strong(able to lift about a ton), superhumanly agile(agility on par with Beast) and superhumanly durable(as the movies have shown). Neither Wolverine nor Batman could punch a heavybag so hard it rips out of the ceiling and goes flying across a gym.

The two stories are almost completely different aside from Cap and Tony's ideologies conflicting. The comic story was about forcing all superhumans to register their identities with the government and consent to becoming superheroes at the government's beck and call, and the inciting incident that sparked the debate was a mutant killing a school full of children. The MCU doesn't even have mutants or enough superhumans to come close to doing what the comic did.
And just a reminder, the comic story climaxed with Cap beating the **** out of Tony by himself. Cap had to be pulled off of Tony because he would have killed Tony for all the terrible things he did to win the "civil war."

Wolverine also possesses superhuman strength , enough to lift 2 tons
Added to that Wolverine would have to have super strength to slice though steel, bone, etc. Wolverine can be seen breaking chains, kicking down steel doors even tossing people across the room. AKA Roughhouse.
Let's not forget the Hulk just to slice his skin you have to be strong. His
skeleton weighs about 300 pounds think about how strong you have to be to carry that around all the time. Now the movies don't show this for some reason which I can't stand. Batman is strong also but without the serum. There are reports where he can bench 750-1000 pounds. I know he can't do it like Cap can with such ease as Cap can. A lot of this at some point comes down to whoever is doing the writing too. Some times said person can do more or less depending.

I'm sure that the movie will do well but as always it's going to fall shot of the comics. Most movies do.
