I also have a lot of familiarity with the characters and story, which allowed me to fill in gaps. The story was based on a lot of "moments" as well. That being said Disney is still very stuck within their own boundaries.
A lot of these same aspects, that made the movie good for me, also turned a lot of people away. The movie was more focused at people in my demographic than previous MCU installments.
Wonder Woman on the other hand was a safer and easier story to tell. It definitely appealed more to the mainstream audience and critics.
That being said, calling either a "masterpiece" is really a matter of your own opinion, and isn't supported by the critics or audience as a whole. Particularly when comparing it to comic book movies like the Dark Knight or Logan, that are widely and critically considered good movies, not just when compared against other comic book movies.

As much as I liked Civil War, during the fight between Avengers, they made it feel like it was two friends play fighting in a sandbox, but there was never any real chance of a shattered relationship like they had in the comics.
That's why I loved the tone of Infinity War, the threat of Thanos and the coming war was deadly as a heart attack and you could approach it with the sense of dread. Civil War played it way too safe.
I like Wonder Woman quite a bit, again because of the characters, the problem was that the Villain just felt weak even though he was a god, like literally one of the old gods and should have been on a threat level beyond Thanos.
