Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Th3Greenhorne7 — 15 May 2016
Captain America: Civil War is Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, and starring in the film is Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Tom Holland, Daniel Brühl, and Frank Grillo.
Now, I know I wasted characters listing the cast, but it was worth it, because this movie was amazing, and very surprising. The film goes through multiple flashback for the first 30 minutes of the film, it shows where Bucky was before The Winter Soldier, Bucky was being kept under ice just like finding Captain in ice, but Bucky was in a Russian controlled facility.
It was great to know that they did a bit more backstory on Bucky because it was still hard to figure out how Bucky became The Winter Soldier. The main story can be somewhat compared to the comics, it had some elements from the comics which were great.
The cast of this film was unbelievable, for a film with this many comic book characters in one whole movie, the cast really brought those characters off the pages and onto the Big Screen into Marvel Cinematic Universe, and those characters that have been brought back and first time being on screen like Black Panther, and Crossbones, while Ant-Man, War Machine, Falcon, Vision, Scarlet Witch and Sharon Carter have been brought back after being in previous film in the MCU.
The Biggest surprise for me was Tom Holland who played Spider-Man, he knocked it out of the park as Spider-Man, he was even better than Andrew Garfield which was an even bigger surprise because I thought what can be worse than Andrew Garfield? I thought Holland was going to be even worse than Garfield, but now I realize that I was so wrong, I mean Holland was hilarious, funniest Spider-Man ever.
The whole cast really was awesome, I'm really glad that in the end they set up the Black Panther movie and they teased the new Spider-Man movie. Overall, Civil War was damn good, I cannot see how this movie could be executed any better than what I saw.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next movie in Phase 3, Doctor Strange, 6 months from now.
