For sure it definitely had more impact and kept you hooked for the whole movie.
By standard fare I mean that the plot of the movie was pretty predictable, and while it was pretty gripping seeing war in a more recognizable/identifiable venue movies depicting the brutality of war and doing it well have been done before. Standard definitely doesn't mean bad or not worth watching, Civil War does most everything very well and almost everything feels visceral and real.
I just didn't feel quite as big a difference between this and another really good war movie set elsewhere. Or maybe because I've read several novels that have done similar things.
