Review of Captain America: Civil War
May. 6th, 2016 10:29 amNon-spoilery review first and then I'll put the spoilers behind a cut in another post.
NO SPOILERS HERE
So this was paced way better than Age of Ultron. It was also a lot more cohesive which was needed after the choppiness we saw in Ultron. The new characters of Black Panther and Spiderman were well incorporated into the story telling. They were not just slapdashed into the universe, there was purpose there. This Spiderman truly envelopes being a teenager without being whiney. He's witty and young and funny and kicks ass. Black Panther is driven and destructive and you truly understand his motiviatons and how he will mesh within the MCU.
The plot does take a while but I caught a subtley early on that really built for why Cap and Tony are at odds. Though as Tony often does he acts before realizing the consequences which honestly is the main theme of this movie this time he acts, realizes but does not trust and verify. Cap is wary to trust things and needs to verify what is going on. I think the whole issue of Hyrda being in Shield has made him wary of not looking for hidden things and agendas. Though he has his own agenda in a way which shows how much he doesn't want to loose his friendship and family of the Avengers and tries his hardest to not do that.
I think this really is in the top 3-4 of the movies. I'm not thinking its the best but maybe futher watching of it will make it closer to 2 versu 4 in my book.
It was a wild and intriguing ride and it will hit you in the feels. There is comedy when there needs to be, there is action and fight sequences that are amazing and show off most of the abilities and then some, of all combatants.
