Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Cole S — 16 Aug 2017

With a quasi-Avengers feel, "Captain America: Civil War is easily one of my favorite Marvel movies of all time. This first installment into Phase 3 of Marvel really takes the franchise to the next level and gets you excited for films to come. It is easy to see the huge progress that Marvel has made with its films. The coolest and most intricate fight scenes I've ever seen (and that ladies and gentleman is what makes a good super hero movie). We are introduced briefly to the villain Crossbones in the first fight sequence. The CGI to make RDJ look young is incredible (and I love the Mister Softee shirt). I think the people who have lost loved ones in the battles that take place with the Avengers are selfish, I get that your son or daughter or dad or relative died but look at the big picture, the Avengers save millions of lives, they can't save everyone. Because of this concept and other innocent people getting killed from Avenger events, Tony and the United Nations want to keep close watch on the actions of the Avengers. The Captain, however, thinks it will suffocate them as a team and prevent them from doing their duty. The Sokovia Accords are this put into place. Peggy Carter dies. After the UN conference in Vienna we meet T'Challa (Black Panther) and the team splits into two. Peggy's niece (aka The Girl Next Door) and Cap are getting it!

Side note: The Black Panther is dope.

HAH! When Captain America basically curls a helicopter... Best part of the movie is when we are introduced to an all new Spider-Man (played by Tom Holland). I loved the sequence leading up to the big fight scene. And the big fight scene itself was amazingly portrayed and thought out. Well done. So apparently there's some top secret base in the middle of the ocean where they keep high security prisoners (in this case some of the Avengers on Caps side)? The Winter Soldier killed Mr. and Mrs. Stark. The movie gets pretty deep with intensity and broken bonds during the scene with Captain America and Iron Man fighting each other (it makes you think what the future holds for the Avengers). Great ending note from the Cap.

Mid credit scene is Bucky agreeing to go into a cryogenic sleep until a cure can be found for his brainwashing. This takes place in Wakanda (kingdom of the Black Panther).

End credits scene is Peter Parker trying out new tech given to him by Stark. Spider-Man will return.

Stan Lee appears as a FedEx delivery man mispronouncing Tony's name as "Tony Stank".
