4.8. that is not a good rating. I generally won't watch films that have less than a 5.3
I watched 'Civil War' with Mrs Summer a few days ago. We were not impressed at all. They didn't explain any of the events or politics that triggered the civil war. I guess you're supposed to use your imagination. (Perhaps the re-election of a certain president, as you say.) The characters were not particularly likeable. The story seemed badly written. For example, some characters were introduced and then killed off in the matter of minutes. I think perhaps the most memorable (yet gruesome) scene of the movie was the part with Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst's husband. Little else left a lasting impression.
In the beginning it seemed very scientific, and informative. As it went on, with the participants, it seemed to get really weak. Granted, I wasn't paying a lot of attention when I had this on, but I felt the take away was quite lacking. Wanting to be able to eat pork again? And desserts? That didn't sit right with me at all
