Captain America: Civil War Review


Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side. 

Now this was a really funny and really great film that definitely did feel a lot like what people are talking about where it was more of like a third Avengers movie that it was a Captain America movie. I really really love the scene that they show the most in the trailer is which is the whole airport fight scene and even seeing that scene in theaters for me and my brother when we saw that that was the thing I was going down we both got really excited about it definitely did hold up to the heights that the trailer put out for that scene to have. And I did love that it showed finally having Ant Man turn into Giant Man and fully bringing Spider-Man into the whole franchise. And it just was a good sort of moment to show all the different characters and what they can do and how they fight and all the stuff and it did have some humor in it but I definitely was an action scene and it was really really amazing.

The movie also did a good job at showing a bit of Black Panther's backstory which I'm not as familiar with it as other superheroes stories so I knew that he was the king of Wakanda, and I got a little confused with it at first when it shows someone else who wasn't him but then as the movie progressed I understand that this was him becoming King.

And the movie also did a really good job making the actual plot of the whole villen in this movie and they did a really good job at hiding what his plan was until the end where the whole plan was reviled. Showing that his plan was from the beginning to have this whole war between Captain America and Iron Man. How he planned to do that turned out great but it also was weird because there're so many things that could change that could have dropped his plan from ever happen but he managed to work around other people so well that it still ended up happening.

And this movie did have some points that it felt like it was getting a little long and it just felt like they were charging through mud and not going anywhere. But it did also have a lot of really good action scenes like when they are at the airport and like the ending scene that really did hold up comparing against those really long moments. But there was so many long moments compared to those action moments it was kind of boring but still overall a really good movie.

 And I enjoy when they first introduced Spider-Man and they had his Aunt May and they did do a good job at poking fun at the fact that she was so much younger than all the other past actresses who played Aunt May and the fact that they were willing to poke fun at that instead of just having it be okay if there's this young actress playing Aunt May and there's nothing weird about her compared to all the other past Spider-Man movies. The fact that they did poke fun at the age was really great.

So this movie did have some longer parts that I wasn't a fan of, but overall it was still a really great movie that I'd recommend to anyone who's been watching the Marvel movies because it definitely is an important and a very impactful one to set up all the next movie to come with Dr. Strange and the rest I'm feeling it is an important movie. It is a long movie with it being 2 hours and 27 minutes and it does have someone long parts, but overall it is a very good movie.
