Maybe this site needs voter registration cards.
Needs to be reigned in. The TDKR vs Civil War Thread Accords, if you will.

What kind of random comparison is this?
Anyway I vote CW. One of the top 5 CBMs ever.
I'm assuming you meant TDKR was number 1 as opposed to TDK, then?Dark knight rises and it is not even close. I am not sure where I would rank Civil war when it comes to CBM but I do know at best it would be my number 3 CBM of all time and dark knight is my number 1 and spiderman 2 is my number 2 and they are by far the top 2. Dark knight rises is so underrated it is much better then dark knight and I love dark knight to.
^LOL
Civil War because better cast, better action, TDKR has a better story though.
One bad moment from Cotillard aside, I highly, highly disagree with the cast. Especially because nobody was phoning it in like a few members of the Avengers in The Dark Knight Rises.
Yeah, the idea that Civil War has a better cast is pretty wtf to me. I mean: Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman,Anne Hathaway. The thing is: It's not even close!
There's also no impressive performance in CW. The characters don't really demand much.
Morgan Freeman barely had anything to do in TDKR and Gary Oldman's character randomly transformed into a moron. Meanwhile, I'll easily take Daniel Bruhl, Elizabeth Olson, Paul Bettany, Robert Downey Jr., Chadwick Boseman and Chris Evans' performances in CW over everything in TDKR.

There's absolutely nothing special about Chris Evans's performance.
Now you've just lost me completely.
90% of the time being Captain America just means being serious and talking like a regular guy would talk.
Sometimes that's all you really need. Evans has a natural charm to him that carries him in the role, just like RDJ as Iron Man, especially having seen him in the first half of TFA as weak little Steve; throughout all the films, deep down, he's still the sick kid from Brooklyn.
Now you're comparing natural skill vs. learned skill. Some actors are just well suited for certain roles by sheer natural personality. There are so many actors, very good ones even, that would make Captain America seem old timey, silly, campy, and "let's go get 'em, boys!" Evans is able to carry the role believably through his own natural talent.
Same with RDJ as Iron Man; from the outside in it seems easy and natural, but that's just because he has that skillset innately. Again, lots of plenty good actors would screw up that role too.
