Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Barneyonmt — 06 Aug 2016
WHAT I LIKED: The final act of this movie is the real take-away, as the final battle alone is enough to warrant your money. It's emotionally heart-breaking and thankfully proves that Marvel aren't afraid to test the boundaries of their characters and relationships. The gravitas of this though, is only possible thanks to an efficient set-up that the Russos craft really well, that's littered with great action, exciting sequences and touching moments that all really click together.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: That super-efficient set-up does strip some life from the movie though, as the Russos don't give long enough in each moment to create real engagement or emotion. This in turn makes it feel a little manufactured, and less human than other MCU stories.
VERDICT: Whilst not quite engaging on such a human level, Civil War is expertly made, and contains the best final act in any MCU movie ever.
