Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Ken P — 01 Oct 2018

This is a thought-provoking superhero film with a lot of banter and a whole lot of action. Yet, because studios don't want to upset the applecart and kill off main characters, the final battle scene lacks a true threat.

To get around it, it needed to be about something more -- not just an untrustworthy UN government, but about superheroes not just willing to stop them, but determined to arrest them. As a result, it fails.

But at the end, if you love freedom, then you will love Captain America.
