Do yourself a favor and GO SEE THIS MOVIE IMMEDIATELY! "Captain America: Civil War" is an emotional thrill ride with the best hand-to-hand combat I have EVER seen in a Superhero movie and has one of the most smart-complex plots of any Marvel film. With everything against it, this film somehow ends up being better than even the best of Marvel films, including its predecessor, "Captain America: the Winter Soldier."
The plot of Civil War isn't your average "Hero vs. Villain" story. After all the damage the Avengers have caused saving people over the years, they are finally called out by the government and are forced to negotiate the terms of their heroism. They are presented with a bill called the "Sokovia Accords," which gives the United Nations the authority to regulate whether the Avengers should or should not intervene in international incidents. This, of course, divides the Avengers, where Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr,) believes signing the bill is the responsible thing to do, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) believes it is the opposite.This ultimately leads to fighting and betrayals among the Avengers themselves.
For a film that's two and a half hours long, it certainly doesn't feel long or exhausting. Unlike "Age of Ultron," the action is well spaced out and the in-between minutes are full of great character moments. Like I said before, the action is AWESOME, and quite frankly, so brutal that it will have you jumping out of your seats from time to time. And although it is a dark film, hell, ever darker than "Captain America: the Winter Soldier," it still has an impressive amount of humor. Not as much as "Age of Ultron," but it just enough to keep the tone serious. Oh, and the characters! Each characters' motivations are made clear throughout the movie and each character has their moment to shine, especially Captain America himself. But just to let you know, don't be surprised if Black Panther or Spider-Man end up stealing the show. Oh, and just for the record, Civil War has one of the best villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"Captain America: Civil War" is a PERSONAL, PERSONAL tale full of action, mystery, and heartbreak, especially for the "more than casual" Marvel fan, where by the time the credits start to roll, you will start to question whether Captain America or Iron Man was in the right, "Captain America: Civil War" gets a J-Bangin score of 5 out of 5!
