⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: FULL SPOILERS

A close-up image of the torch held by the Statue of Liberty against a cloudy, dramatic sky. The torch's flame is golden and stylized, glowing with a warm light. Surrounding the base of the flame are sandbags and two soldiers in combat gear, positioned as if in a battle, aiming rifles in opposite directions. The soldiers and sandbags create a wartime scene atop the torch. Bold, bright green text reading "CIVIL WAR" is prominently displayed across the middle of the image, partially covering the torch and soldiers. The overall tone is intense and somber, suggesting conflict and struggle.

In Civil War (2024), the iconic torch of liberty becomes a battleground as soldiers clash atop its flame, symbolizing the fierce struggle for freedom amid chaos.

My Rating: ½ (0.5/5 stars)

The movie stunk, and it stunk so bad I kept watching only for the action at the end. It made no sense to me. Why were we in a civil war? Seems more like a feel-good piece for the press. There were undertones of innuendo but no reason was given, nothing clear was given. It was basically like the viewer came in the middle of a tale and only got none of the backstory. Totally stupid movie. If you were supposed to guess about the relationship to today's politics, this movie will be bad in 25 years' time since there is no context at all, and I mean at all. Every good movie has some backstory, either through flashbacks or other ways. My big takeaway: no context, skip it. Don't waste 2 hours like I did. Yes, there were some good action and thrilling one-off action moments, but that was it.
