Captain
America Civil War 10/10
No
complaints! I have none regarding this movie. There will be some
spoilers. I got back from seeing Captain America Civil War and am
already planning to watch it at least one more time in theaters. This
is more of an Avengers movie than Captain America which is not a
problem for me. This movie had more surprises than I expected as well
as characters. If you haven't seen the movie yet you really should
not read this unless you care about spoilers. This was a great film.
The
basic premise is that the worlds government is worried about the fact
that these heroes are unchecked. They fight aliens and other super
powered people, wreck shit, and head back home. Robert Downey Jr. as
Tony Stark aka Iron Man is confronted by the mother of a boy that was
killed during the Avengers last battle overseas. He is guilt ridden
and along with General Ross gathers the rest of the team to show them
the harm they have done, most recently one that ended with a dozen
innocent people killed and hundreds hurt because Scarlet Witch played
by Elizabeth Olsen.
Captain
America played by Chris Evans does not want to join this program. He
feels that this is the first step in a terrible process where the
government will use them when they want and not when they should. He
is also trying to defend Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier played by
Sebastian Stan. He has some honked up programming in his head still
that will make him a killing machine. Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson seems to be on the fence regarding which side of the fence
to be on.
Here
come major spoilers.
Characters
like Sam Wilson as Falcon, Don Cheadle as War Machine, and Jeremy
Renner as Hawkeye shocked the hell out of me. I made fun of Falcon in
the past but this guy is pretty much a one man Air Force and
surveillance team. Hawkeye continues to bring the normal human aspect
to the team and is bad ass. War Machine was far more useful and
relevant than he's been in previous movies. Vision, played by Paul
Bettany, shows more personality as he is beginning to act more human
and his powers prove that he is one of the most powerful members of
the team.
Chadwick
Boseman as Black Panther was fucking cool! I wanna see more of this
guy. Even when he wasn't in his outfit he kicked ass. He acted with
an air of power and royalty which makes sense seeing as how he is a
prince. Great costume and powers. Paul Rudd as Ant-Man was more
interesting in this than his own film. His amazement at meeting
Captain America for the first time was how most people would in real
life. And he does something that made the audience cheer for that I
won't mention even in this spoiler review.
Lastly,
I need to mention the greatest representation of Spider-Man even
committed to film. Tom Holland is everything that has been needed to
be Peter Parker. I expected him to just pop up the way he did in the
trailer during a fight. But seeing him first as Peter and talking to
Tony Stark was awesome and they had really good chemistry. Marisa
Tomei as his “hot aunt” was also good. Thank you for picking a
young looking guy to play Peter and not an old lady as Aunt May.
Thank you! Also, thank you for having Spider-Man not shut up during
battle.
I am
not sure how this movie will be topped. It is automatically one of my
favorite superhero movies. There was the perfect combination of
drama, action, and comedy. Yes, there are plenty of comedic moments.
And thank you to the directors for having fight scenes that were easy
to see! I wanna see this again!
