Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Juan C — 17 Aug 2016

Another good Marvel film, but nothing special. I don't know why everyone is so blown away by it. It feels the same as previous Marvel films, and the conflict is not really believable ( I don't get how scarlet witch couldn't just decimate everyone).

So many stupid decisions by both sides. Many of the character's actions were just unrealistic. But noooo, logical actions are not allowed, or else the movie would end too early. Like, why did Bucky not just plug his damn ears? They made a show out of him breaking free of his arm restraints, but then he pounds on the glass rather than plug his ears.

.. And why on earth did Vision knock down a tower to stop Cap, instead of just going directly for him? I thought he was on the team that thought the Avengers should be kept in check? But he decides to destroy half an airport for no reason? Oh well, still a fun movie at least.
