At this point, if the comic book movie is like the Monday Night Wars circa 1997-2000, the MCU is the WWE, the DCEU is WCW, and Fox's Marvel films are ECW.

Also, how is this movie so much cheaper than Batman V Superman? It's not. Both movies were made for $250 million, with an extra $150 million on top for advertising and distribution. BvS was reported as needing to make $850 million just to break even, so I would expect Civil War to need to make at least that (and probably more) given the likely far larger collective salary of the cast, particularly RDJ, who doesn't even start growing that Stark facial hair for less than $20 million. For comparison's sake, Age of Ultron didn't actually hit profits until it had passed the $1.1 billion mark.

My biggest criticism of Batman v. Superman was... bad stuff happens in that movie that it doesn't earn.
Civil War is a payoff for a lot of stuff going back to the first Iron Man. It's absolutely outstanding in a mix of drama with humor. This is the kind of movie where a simple text message had me weeping.
It's in my top five of the Marvels, it's at least equal to Winter Soldier. My sole complaint? Holy GOD, is it LONG! I'm not kidding, this movie started around 7:40, wasn't over until five after 10. But, I think it's worth it. We pay off old stories while starting new ones that will pay off next July and in February 2018. Can't wait, man, can't wait for what's next.
Yes, to answer the question- it's better than BvS. See it, enjoy it.
